CRANKSTER

Most of my cranks have been replaced with the H2O's. All of them I have bought have pretty sharp hooks and run true straight out of the box. Their frogs on the other hand, have been a headache lol.

I have a few of them and really like them.

Both are good, I'm a fan of the Stanley Ribbit frogs too.

Rooster tails and grubs work great for me.

I've always had good dealings with TW. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I would call them up and tell them about it and see where it goes. Their customer service is pretty good.

I forget which weight they were but 3 of them were around $4 if I remember correctly.

I saw them last week while I was there. They look pretty nice from what I can tell. Didn't get a chance to look at them outside the package. Might go pick up some today and try em out.

Forgot who posted this originally, but it's what i used to figure out how to get the sideplate off my revo s. http://www.bassresource.com/fishing-forum/Attachments/revo-disassemby_004.jpg

How do you guys like the STX so far? I'm buying one in the very near future for my 735c dobyn's. Kind of excited about trying out the dual braking.

Anybody know of anywhere like BTD or TW that is having a July 4th sale? I've got a list of tackle I need and if somebody is having a sale I will wait to order. Thanks.

Thanks for the info fellas. I did end up unscrewing the hook hangers on 2 of them. What's the bad thing about unscrewing them? Should I take the screws back out and put super glue on them before putting them back in? Thanks again.

Thanks, I'll go pick up some tomorrow. How do you recommend getting the old ones off, just cut them off?

So I picked up some jitterbugs today in 3 different sizes. First thing out of the package I notice the hooks seem to be junk. What brand and size hooks do you guys recommend to replace them with for these size jitterbugs: 1/4 oz., 2" ________ 3/8 oz., 2-1/2" ________ 5/8 oz., 3" _______ Thanks.

Just picked up some 8" and 12" Jelly worm's at BPS today in grape and blackberry. Haven't used them before. Just wandering what your favorite ways of fishing them are. T-rig, shakey head, c-rig, etc...?

what size hooks do you guys use with the flukes?

Thanks for the help guys, I pulled the power pro off and got it on nice and even now. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can hit the water and try out all these new frogs I have lol.

I know this may sound dumb but what is this side pressure you speak of? lol.

Well, I spooled up my new revo s this morning with 50lb power pro, and when I got finished I noticed the line is spooling more on the left side than the right? Removed the line from the reel, took it back and exchanged it. Just got home, spooled it up again and the same thing again? There is more line on the left side of the spool than the right. Am I not doing something right or do I keep getting defective reels? lol. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Update: Ended up doing away with the trillionaire and vengeance rod. Academy had a Revo S and Allstar platinum combo on sale for $139 so I ended up getting a Revo S 6:4:1 and a 7' MH/F allstar platinum rod. Also got some 50lb power pro braid. Any tips on spooling this stuff up? lol

I break out the ole zebco 33 and zebco 11 every now and then just to bring back the memories lol.

I have 2 of them. Good rods for the money. They look and feel more like some of the "upper end" rods I've used before.

It does look cool, a little on the heavy side but should look pretty good on the vengeance rod I'm getting for it lol. If I end up not liking it for some reason I might part with it pretty cheap if you are still looking for one at the time.

Bought one of these new in box yesterday for $35 from my cousin for my cheap frog setup. Just wandering if any of you have used them and what do you think about them? I've tried searching and google and haven't found much about them. Thanks.

Thanks for all the help and replies fellas. One other question, and it may have been covered before but couldn't find much on it, but what type of guides will hold up best to braid? or is there any type of guides I should avoid when using braid?

Saw this reel at dick's today. Haven't heard much about it but I think it would work on my low budget frog setup. They have it on sale for $50. 7.1.1 ratio and 6 bearings. Anybody here used one or know how well they hold up? http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3986258
