Big Bait Fishing

missing her lip on her left side

it seems by their website that they only have a one-year warranty on all their reels , i , personally have never heard of a lifetime warranty on reels , but i might be un-informed :-/ i know shimano , Abu Garcia , and Quantum only have one-year warranties on their reels . 8-)

x2 , that's a very nice touch ( the tube/craw bait)

you will not be dissapointed if you go with a G-BLANKS rod !!!! plus you can customize it how you want (split grips , colored thread , hook keepers , etc..) give Larry a call and talk to him about what your looking for , im sure he can hook you up

your a class act Matt , can't wait to meet you at bass-a-thon ...

i sent you a pm a little while ago but anyhow i also live in oceanside and i am a serious bass fisherman !!! i fish at dixon , discovery and champagne lakes . hit me up , maybe we can go fishing . i am gonna go catfishing during nightfishing this summer at dixon ( about the only good lake to fish for cats that are good size ) but i got to tell you something , i release EVERY bass i catch and don't like to see other people keep bass . where i fish and the people i fish with feel the same way . so if you are gonna keep bass , maybe it ain't a good idea to go fishing with me ?!?! any how , hope you like the forum here , it is a great place to get alot of info .... 8-)

I WISH I HAD LILY ''FIELDS '' LIKE THAT WHERE I LIVE !!! I WOULD FISH THAT AREA FOR DAYS WITH A FROG !!! YOU GUYS ARE BLESSED WITH FISHERIES LIKE THAT

try posting this topic in " tacklemaking " , you might get better results (suggestions and answers )

i guess it's back to giving cxx another chance , this time i'll try 25 # . i guess i just wanted to have the line in smoke color , since i love Izorline smoke colored line .. thanks for all the feedback

not when your throwing 3-8 oz. baits !!! i am actually considering 30 # line !!! Your original post made no mention of what you are tossing, only inquired as to line strength. i had another topic about cxx and yo-zuri hybrid and there was mentioning of big swimbaits , thought that people would make the assumtion . should have mentioned it !! have you used evolution line ???

i'll take your word for it , gonna have to try 25# cxx , but would still love to have feedback on evolution about if it is very strong .

how then the gauratee ??? ;D

for the wake jr. , u want to go with an actual swimbait rod rated for ATLEAST 3 oz. , preferrably up to 4-5 oz. the mojo 7'9'' heavy rod would be very good , in reveiws and owners on this forum , that it can handle up 5 oz. the Mattlures bluegill can be thrown on a heavy action flippping stick with a fast or extra fast tip , that goes for the spro bbz1 shad also . as for line , i wouyld use 20-25 # mono or co-poly for the wake jr. , 15-20# for the spro and mattlures bluegill ...

so if i jumped up to 30# test of evolution , it would be as strong as 25# cxx ???, have you used evolution line , is it strong ?? is it comperable to cxx ?? talk to me !!!

so how is the strength of the ''evolution'' , cause if it is near the strenth of ''cxx'' , i can jump up a test in the evolution since it is ALOT thinner in dia. than cxx . cxx in 25 # is .020 dia. (.50mm) compared to the evolution in 25# is .0176 dia. (.44mm) so if i can get a comparision of the two , that would be very helpful in terms of strength .

anybody here use ''evolution'' by p-line , and is it strong as cxx ??? i like the smoke silver color , the lake i fish at is pretty much crystal clear . i want to try 20 and 25 # tests . i would appreciate it if i can get responses from people who have used both , thanks

with out a doubt , a frog !!

For real??? No brainer then I've got to try the XPS. If I'm not mistaken, XPS fluorocarbon is manufactured by Toray. There are only a handfull of fluorocarbon manufacturers in Germany and Japan. while i was attending a seminar at a tackle shop , i was told this by a pro who is actually sponsored by Toray , he said Seaguar makes the XPS flouro for BPS .

when i want the weight pegged i use Bullet Weights Screw in weights . they are simple to use and can do it easily from shore or boat and not have to worry about the fuss with little pegs and toothpicks and such .

you can't go wrong with BPS flouro , it is made by Seaguar ....

how much line does that 200gtb hold ?? from just quickly looking at it on tackle warehouse , it seems it only holds roughly about 140-150 yards of 14# . to me that ain't much line when you actually spool it with 20-25 # line , that's why i went ahead and got a REVO TORO ....
