The recommended knots that accompany the product are the uni-knot and the Palamar. Both have worked perfectly, displaying no slippage or unusual binding. Please note - I use monofilament leader line and not fluorocarbon line. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Duradek sounds like it could be your answer. Good Luck with the re-build A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Excellent - Supply & Demand Baby . . . A-Jay

Nice Job Blue & sorry to hear about your Mom getting laid off. Hope something else comes along soon. (Unless she'd rather go fishing everyday) Those Kansas fish sure do look different . . . A-Jay

What a Gorgeous Ski ~ Congrats to him A-Jay

I wouldn't get too upset. Rods break during shipping - it happens. And the more you do it - the more you realize that some companies pack their products better than others. Once you find out which ones do - these are the people that you deal with in the future. The others are left behind. You'll be able to get a new one quite easily, but if it's prepared & shipped in the same manner, you could see similar results. A-Jay

Hello Troy and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ As the name implies - gotta have Bass After that everything else is By-Catch Good Luck A-Jay

That's It ~ Thanks Wayne It was Flying alright - Flew right into the trash . . . . A-Jay

That's been known to happen. She may say she doesn't have a scale as well. . . . Either way - you know I'd be her PB for sure A-Jay

I remember that bait too but not the name. It was flat and rigged backwards so that it would fall away from the user - I had them too and never did a thing with one; mostly because I wasn't fishing it right. I bet I could hammer a few with it now - flipping it at docks. A-Jay

Really Really Nice Steve ~ Sounds like you've gotten what you hoped for ~ an Instant Feel Good Memory Flashback . . . . . .and that High Quality work certainly plays a big role. I'm betting the longer that beast hangs there - the More You'll Enjoy It. Worth the wait. Congrats Again A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

You're welcome ~ I also use the 10lb 832 and it's very good. I think this is a little better. A-Jay

You're most welcome and please let us know how it goes. A-Jay

" A Lure You Were Disappointed In After Using It" I'll admit to having a few baits that fall into this category. But I bet it pales in comparison to the number of baits in my box that are routinely disappointed in ME. A-Jay

I have a "modest" collection of rods that span a few decades - (hey I've been fishing a while) and the newer small guide sticks are nice. But they are problematic at times. This trend has even carried over to spinning rods, which makes no sense to me. The equipments design really benefits from a from a free flow of line during the cast - choking it down right at the collector and then through out the length of the rod, seems seriously counter productive. I'm all for advances in sport, but I'm not a rod builder or a casting scientists, I'm just a guy who like to fish. So perhaps I'm missing something here. A-Jay

Interesting - If you don't mind me asking, How, Where & When did you happen to come by this information ? Please pm me if need be ~ Thanks in advance A-Jay
