I dont know your area of the country but when the water temp gets to the low 60's here some years they suspend and are tough to catch. Other years they dont and then I crush them. I was catching 20 smallies a day over 3 lbs in early to mid September then the action tappered off to only catching 4 last Saturday between two of us. Now I'll fish for largemouth until the water gets to 50. ;D

Those are the 2 jig rods that I am using right now. Light and ultra sensitive with some serious power especially in the CUCX72MH. That rod is and absolute animal!!!!

Use the briad to a Fluro leader and then you have the best of both worlds.

I have and love both versions of the Citica, but the E is a far better reel than then D.

There wont be any more get together at GS. The town posted a sign saying 2 car Max parking at LS.

I have heard that currently Browing/Mitchell are making the BPS rods.

I use them as jig trailers on Football jigs. If I were to use them on a jig head I would throw it on a 1/8-1/2 OZ Football head depending on depth.

I'd like to see the Curado 201E come in a 6 and also a 5 gear ratio. The 7 is a bit much for some applications.

I have this reel on one of my cranking rods and the thing is awesome. I am looking for another one for cheap on ebay as well. The Curado D is one of the best casting reels that I have ever used, right on par with the Chronarch. IMO

You dont need a leader in stained or slightly clear. I dont think you would need it in even ultra clear with the Hybrid.

I just bought a Doybns 704CB rod for throwing Jerkbaits and Crankbaits. I am really impressed with the quality of this rod. I can see myself buying a few more in the near future. ;D

A fast hookset is very important when fishing the jig. I dont know what kind of water you are fishing but a 12 lb leader seems vey light to me especially if you are fishing wood or brush. When I use the braid to Fluro set up, I am almost always using a 17 lb leader and never go below 14. Above all else, just stick with it. With a little practice you will be lipping those things left and right.
