Gavacho, I love /hate this thing
Not really. It's about the same level as without because it's fixed and up turned. I've used them with great success.

Pick Up Trucks
They've only sold like 1500 of them. I've seen two in person. It a big fan of the front looks, but on paper it's super capable.

I would be using it to tow a boat.

You'll need to be able to lift half of it over your head.

What Line Do You Use With Senko's?
Pretty hard to take that slack out of the line without pulling the senko.

What Line Do You Use With Senko's?
Braid to mono or fluoro leader has zero sensitivity on a slack line, which is almost always the case with a senko.

2010 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab. I can fit 8' rods no problem in the passenger front seat with it slightly reclined. There's even room for someone to sit there if they don't mind the reduced footwell space.

Marking brush piles
Might be time to upgrade to a graph w/ GPS?

What Line Do You Use With Senko's?
Well, you need to be able to see it because you won't really feel it on that setup like you would with straight fluorocarbon.

raw oysters?
Fresh means within 5 miles of the ocean. You aren't getting fresh in Kansas.

are you rubbing your soft plastics to dull them?

Not happy with new reel quality, even cheap old gear seems better than new
I'm not sure what the performance means in the context of a reel. I mean it holds line, pays it out, reels it in. It's not pulling 1g on a skid pad.

raw oysters?
I didn't get it from oysters. I was working at a tropical fish importer and got some infected tank water in my mouth. I still eat oysters where they're fresh.

Are slightly swollen plastics any good?
So it dissolves in water. Doesn't sound ideal.

I'm m willing to die on that hill for it. Standards man! And I know Catt will find this and give another history lesson.

Baitcaster Gear Ratio and Retrieve Smoothness
Gear ratio has zero to do with perceived smoothness. It could be a lot of things, but I'd start with a deep clean and rune from someone like DVT Mike.

raw oysters?
I've had vibrio, it sucks.
-
Are slightly swollen plastics any good?
I put the scent on the bait right before I fish it. No issues with softening or swelling.

New Tungsten Dropshot weight
These are nice. They can also be used to make Jika rigs.
-
are you rubbing your soft plastics to dull them?
Nope, no point in it. Mike Siebert makes them perfectly. Buy quality baits, and trimming isn't necessary.
-
are you rubbing your soft plastics to dull them?
Nope. I fish baits straight from the package with no mods. I don't have time to fuss.

Senkos are the sinkiest of the sinky baits.
