Thanks I try 12lb invizx loved it until 15 lb o couldn’t feel any hits .

So I usually fish 20-30lb braid for creature or craw in algae base water not a lot of mats just alage on the bottom . I was talk to some co-worker at work , I said I use 20-30lb with a ewg hook but they said I should be using a 50lb test for Texas rig and jig . I tried it today I didn’t like the jump on the lb water . I saw less sensitivity so what the setup you guys use for like an all around soft plastics . I have 2 combo Revo Rocket 10.1:1 , 7ft mH casting rod and the other Revo sx 7.3:1 with 7ft MH casting rod . Both had 20-30lb braid but want some guidance . I don’t mind using braid , fluoro or mono but just need help .

You can get anything that probably $69 -$79 reel , plus rod we do have graphite series but I suggest from fishing a rod for 8 plus year get a berkley Lightning shock spinning rod $50 . In what location u go to all fishing associate Will help you I work at bps in boilingbrook . We be happy to help you . Is there a certain brand of reel you like ?

I have the Abu Garcia Revo Beast old model casting reel was wondering what would you guys use this for I had it on a frog rod st Croix mojo bass slip and frog heavy 7ft rod but use it for a season and my arm was killing . Wondering would you guys use it for that or other techniques please give input .

So I bought a Daiwa Viento from eBay 2 months back was using in beds for bass fishing other then that don’t know what else I can use it for ?

Thanks I’ll probably try powerpro for a bit I have 40lb sufix 832 so I’ll give powerpro a chance thanks for the reply

I have a question. Which line is better I usually fish spiderwire braid I been using it since I was 18 yrs old an I’m 29 now I loved stealth braid but I recent went to spiderwire smooth braid loved it until I had unexpected break off . So I asked my friends and they said go to powerpro and sufix832 lines . A lot say that spiderwire isn’t a professional braid but I love this stuff so what your ideas on these braid ?

I been using two combo lately abu revo sx 6.4:1 , 6’6ft m berkley lightning shock cast rod , 15lb big game 1/4oz lipless abu revo sx 7.1:1 7ft m abu vendetta cast rod , 12lb big game . There my forum I started too

So I’ve been look everywhere and can find any place that recycle soft plastic baits I don’t have the time to melt my own but does anyone know a company that will melt for me or you can take them and recycle them ?

I'll try that . Thanks I know I hate them too. I usually use st.croix mojo bass or truimph rods but wanted to try these an having this issue now .

So I have the old model of abu garcia vendetta , veritas and veracity casting rod with the metal screw down reel seat hood holder . My issue when I set the hook on 2-3 lb bass the reel feels like the reel is being lifted off the reel seat but the metal hood is tighten down all the way . The I tried heat shrink tubing and I see have the problem has anyone else had this and if so what your problem solver . I did contact abu garcia but they want me to send it in . When I know they not broken it it just probably and easy fix .

Thanks for the reply I'll try the big game and trilene xt . The floroclear always wanted to try but gander mtn is wiped out .

What type of line , rod length and action and reel gear ratio would you use to caught largemouth bass . Me and my buddy were taking and we have different combo but wondering what you guys use right now I'm using a 7ft med abu garcia vendetta casting rod , 7.1:1 gear ratio casting reel with 12lb seaguar invizx fluorocarbon n my buddy using same rod n reel but 50lb sufix 832 braid . So what are you guys using and why what the best line fluorocarbon ,braid or monofilament and what pound trst n brand . I'm open to any opinions

I just started fishing jerkbaits this winter I used a spinning combo 6'6ft berkley lightning shock spinning rod med, Pflueger president xt spinning reel (5.2:1) , with 8 lb fluorocarbon plus lures was rapala husky jerkbait . But I heard a lot of ppl use it on casting combo what your guys combo and Amy tips you can give me .

Delaware valley tackle , I notice that maybe the counter weight was supposed to be in the reel but it's missing . In both ill probably just trade them .
