Hammer 4

I'm sorry, but the 8 lb Dosen't have a lot of memory, heck I don't even use KDV Line cond. on my baitcasters, much less my 6 & 8lb test. Really no need for it imho. Sure RW will chime in but the 8lb will probably have lots of unwanted memory but try the KVD line and lure conditioner on it to cut down on the memory.

Lots of guys take pic;s while Holding their fish...have your camera on a strap, and have it ready, lip the fish, hold it out and CPR..

Good move...

Looks good, what about putting a lizard head on it..?

Bought a couple packs. Has anyone used these, and how do they compare with Owner ect..?

All my line is yozuri hybrid ultra soft..I use mostly the palomar, but some baits get the Trilene knot.

I have the Shara, and really like it...it's pretty dang smooth for a 80.00 reel. I also had a bps extrem finesse rod, only it was a baitcaster..I liked it, cept I broke the tip off..went to get another, but they were all out, so I snaged the Rick Clunn rod. I'd say the combo you have is decent, sure you could get a better one at a cost..

I ordered some strike king's, they were outta some of them..I also read revies about the Chatterbait brand, they said the same thing re: the hooks, ect... Jethro T......? dang Burley, you change names as often as I...well you get the idea...lol Thanks.

Sometimes self control is good, but not always.. ;D I just ordered more stuff from TW..only they were out of 1/2 of what I wanted... :'(

I used it for a few months, worked fine, except like has been said, not very abrassion resistant. I switched to yozuri hybrid ultrasoft on all my reels. I voted No. It has it's place.

Why...?

Thanks guys..appreciate it..

Never used these before, which brand and anything else you can think of, so I can make a sound purchase.. TIA.

I've landed a 7# rainbow with 3 lb triline xl..

Thanks RM, I was gettin worried there for a min... ;D I did try out the Chronarch today, smooth as butter imo.

Geez, don't some of you guys Read the post's....?

I got the Chronarch bpv...which imho is a Better reel, check the specs on both reels. As for getting another Shimano...I like Shimano..

I use both..usually cuz the tackel shop is out of 1 style in gammie's, so I'll grab the owners..I really can't tell the difference. Although I must admitt, I favor the gammies due to their reputation.

I bought the clipons, and imho, they Suck..for less $$$ I went to wallyworld, and bought the strike king glasses for under 20.00. Granted, I have to switch to my rx glasses to change lures, but at least I don't get that awful glare from the sides and behind me..

I agree, have fun..and when in doubt, dropshot..lol

Shoot, almost any plastic works on C rig, my fave is a 6" roboworm in a few different colors. A bait that I think may be my goto bait, is the ragetail lizard..this thing has major action..

Re: rigs, I was looking at the zebco spincasting set ups for youngsters, found one that should be just the ticket for about 34.00, sorry can't recall the modle # for the combo, but I'm sure you can find it on BPS's site.. As for baits, what the heck, tie on a spinner bait..lol jk..

A new swimbait is born..even if it takes Squinty eyes to see it.. Nice work Micro..

Ahhh, never thought about that. Ok. so I traded up for a "slightly better " reel..how's that..?

Can you exsplain that for me..?
