St Croix spinning MXF rods for hard jerkbaits?
X2, got this rod this weekend and it is just absolutely an amazing rod. I used it for some jerkbaits and top water as well as some 1/4oz swim jigs and 1/4oz spinner baits. Later,

Curado 200e7 casting problems
The Curado should easily handle weightless senkos, I am just not sure the rod can handle this light of a lure. Try tying on a 3/8oz or up lure and see if it casts ok. If so then then your problem is the rod. If not then the problem is the reel. My first 201E7 would birds nest if you looked at it, my second one is flawless. Yeah I know a senko isn't that light. But also what size are you trying to throw? 4", 5" etc... Later,

Spinnerbaits on a MH Avid?
For my spinner baits I have 2 rods I use. I have a 6' 10" MH/XF and a 7' MH/F rod. I really like them both. The 6' 10" MH/XF also is my rod I use for jigs. Later,

New Falcon Rods
The new Falcon rods look awesome. Can't wait to see the new Skeet Reese Rods, suppose to be in the same price range as well. Nice to have a bigger selection of awesome looking rods. Later,

centrifugal or magnetic, which do you prefer and why
Centrifugal for me. I have both Shimano's and a Revo STX. I just find the centrifugal much easier and a lot more reliable. Later,

Favorite Jig Trailer
I like my trailers to match my jigs, but have been trying using contrasting colors lately. I really like Net Baits Paca Chunks and Yum Chunks. I also use Mega Strike fish attractant. Have been trying some of the Chompers twin tail grubs as well as the Yamamoto Flappin Hawgs 2. For swimming jigs I use Kinami single tail grubs in either 3 or 4 inch. Later,

MegaStrike For The Win!
Mega Strike is awesome stuff. I was throwing a spinner bait Saturday evening with a single tail grub trailer and getting some nbbles but no takers. So I added some Mega Strike to the grub and made a cast. The next thing I know a fish attacked it, chomped off the back portion of the grub and then attacked it again and dang near swallowed the whole spinner bait. I definitely am a Mega Strike believer!

Super Silver Thread Reviews
Its not bad, but it is not Yo-Zuri that is for sure. I have one rod spooled up with it and I can't really complain about it too much other then it has a little bit more memory retention then the yo_zuri. Later,

right fluro for flippin/pitchin
I just tried out some of the XPS fluorocarbon in 14lbs test on my jig setup and it performed flawlessly!! Very low memory and excellent knot strength and excellent abrasion resistance. Later,

JIG FISHIN!
Hank Parker just had a really good 2 part series on jig fishing on the Versus Channel. He basically showed you can fish a jig anytime, anywhere, any color and style with multiple types of trailers and catch fish at any time and anywhere. Later,

BPS JM Signature Rod Question
Is the BPS JM Signature rod a good value at $119? They have them on sale and they come with Fuji Titanium SIC guides and seem to be extremely well built and from what I have read on the net very sensitive as well. Thanks,

check the knot
Always remember to check your line and knot for abrasion and always remember to re-tie often. I always check my line and knot before going out and at least once while out and will re-tie after about every 2 or 3 fish. Later,

Mojo bass rods.
As Reel Mechanic said, neither. They are built on the St Croix Premiere line of blanks. The Crucials, don't know about the Powells but they are built on better blanks and I know the Crucial includes Fuji Alconite guides where the Mojo uses the Batson guides. That is a huge difference just in itself. Later,

Spooling line: Manuel or Machine??
I got the Berkley Spooling station on sale at BPS during the Spring Classic for $15 and it has been worth it. Works very well and makes it very easy to spool a reel up by yourself and very quickly I might add. Use to have BPS spool up my reels as well, but I have switched to doing it myself. This way I can also apply KVD during the process. Later,
