can't speak to the 128...it is the one size lc i have not used. that said, all my lc jerkbaits suspend perfectly at water temps 55 degrees or cooler. at higher water temps, almost all mine (flashminnows, pointers, slender pointers, staysees) actually sink...very, very slowly but still, they sink...the husky jerks i have used sink, as well, in the higher water temps. line size may have something to do with this, as well...i tend to use a heavier line than most (12# yozuri hybrid)...ymmv here. as mentioned above, you can always return it if not satisfied but, it looks to me you've learned the art of jerkbaits quite well. 8-) nice fish.

of the 4 double digits i've caught the last couple years, two have come on senkos. black/blue fleck

6/0 owner or gammie ewg superline.

some much younger fishing buddies of mine bought one years ago when they shared a boat. it's kinda like tv...you spend so much time watching it, you get very little else done...in this case, actually fishing and catching fish. they sold it after about the third trip out...with some great visuals to remember and little fish to show for it.

easily one of my favorites.

make that 5 for pork jars sealed forever in a bill dance death grip.

these are tough, dependable reels. have no problem recommending them.

well done, mr. harvil.

thanks for the review. could have a matched set if they make a 5:8:1 gearset to fit. 8-)

6' water mocassin on a 4f fat a. never let 'em tell you they only swim on TOP of the water.

Must have been The Far Dark Side. wasn't really that bad. just a big warehouse of cardboard boxes and one guy packing smaller boxes inside them for shipment...and the guy wondering why he had no friends. the smaller boxes were chocolate fudge. there were people in the office that never did get it.

i dunno. they pay cotton farmers to not plant cotton. makes sense to me.

zoom ole monster.

I would pay to see that! ;D BTW, I use shorter rods (6') all the time but I have tried a few 7' and I am more accurate with 6' rods. i dunno. it ain't purty for the gnat! 8-)

had the desk calender, too. the "fudge packer" is a classic.

i have 3 bags of worms in my panic box. zoom finesse culprit 7.5 zoom ole monster if they don't hit one of them, it's time to go to the house.

all in all, i think this is one of those "indian/arrow" deals. am just as accurate with an mbr843 (mh/f) as i am with an mbr783 (mh/f), using the same bait. that said...have used the cbr845 (mh/m) for years...as much as i like it for overhead, open water casting, i was never as consistent when targeting shoreline targets as i am with a cbr785 (mh/m). with a cbr785, i can pop a gnat's *** at 40 paces. am just saying.

the old 1310's were good, dependable reels...imo, the best quantum had at that time. good luck on your purchase.

as much as i like the bcr series, the mbr series is the better "all-around".

owners are tough to beat...gammie superlines are a bad close second. superlines, mind you.

i dunno...she looks good on both sides of the atlantic to me. after jennie finch, of course.

can't you just imagine her interviewing jennie finch?

if you shop, you can get a curado e5 for right at $150 and a cbr847 for about $180.

old fartism never looked so good.

same as for hard jerkbaits. mbr782 50mg #12 yozuri hybrid
