Mike may end up being THE face of fishing this decade. KVD look out!

I bought mine 2 years ago... great reel. Great braking system.

For plastic worms... M or MH/XF For Small Cranks and Small Topwater... M/Mod For Frogs... H/Mod For Large Canks and Large Topwater... MH/Mod For Spinners and Buzzbaits... M or MH/F For Swimbaits... MH/Mod For Small Jigheads... ML/F Spinning For Evertything else... Mix and match or a M/F Spinning rod That's what I use. I don't think they are at all necessary, but there are advantages to each that just might get you hooked-up instead of missing a strike. The fast and extra fast tips are great for quick hooksets, the moderate, softer tips are good for allowing the bass to have an opportunity to take the lure without snatching it away. But, hey... it's just my opinion. What do you think?
