I used floroclear for about a year I had a bad problem with it breaking off. Went back to the C-XX no problems with it.

Do it through American Legacy www.gloomis.us and I know they will for sure. Did it last month on a drop shot rod.

I probably have caught more fish Texas rigging senkos than fishing them weightless they are great all around baits. Even work great as a jig trailer on football head jigs. Usually use a small weight 1/8 or 3/16 but have used as heavy as 1/2. There is no wrong way to fish one.

Omc went bankrupt in 01 or 02 I think so that would be the last model years, seems like 95 or 96 was the first.

I had the Shaky Head model for a couple of months but traded it for another BSR852 I like the extra length alot more personally, but the SHR822 was a very good rod.

Whatever my next one is.

X2....HARD over the head. Specially with a jig. And when you see the bass fly out of the water growing larger and larger, duck... Hit my fishing partner in the head last night ;D

I use both, no trailer on colder water, and a Zoom twin tail in warmer water. Try them both and see which they hit better.

Step on it lightly before you pull the cord. Works on both Minn Kota and Motor guide. Takes the pressure off the pins so they pop free easy

I have not tried the trickworm but have tried the magnum finesse worm it is zooms answer to a senko I guess. Not a bad product but senko's and zero's are better IMO.

I too have the Xtools scale and really like it I bought the model that keeps a running tally for culling fish and it is one of the best purchases I have made.

Has anyone else bought any of these, I did in 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz and while I like them they do not seem to be as good as the tru-tungsten brand, but I do not own any of the tru-tungsten in weights this light so it might be my imagination?

I have never tried the brands you are talking about but I use the BPS Fluorocarbon all the time in 6lb and 8lb on my spinning reels without any trouble. They are the old Daiwa SS Series 1300 and 1600.

Caught 13 in a row in Canada smallmouth fishing a couple of years ago caught 14 in 15 casts. I have it all on film somewhere.

That is what I did for mine also put some under the console just in case.

As far as keeping them out of the boat, if it is covered take a plastic bowl and fill it with moth balls and place it down on the floor and re-cover the boat, kept the mice and squirrels out of my Nitro. They can't stand the smell of the moth balls... X2 on the moth balls I had the same problem about 2 years ago before our subdivision was done I started putting the moth balls in the rod boxes no more chewing mice.

Mossybacks are good rods at a decent price but as has been stated you do not get the true loomis feel until you get an IMX or GLX.

Anyone have one of these particularity the 6'9" medium action thinking of picking one up. All of the crankbait rods I have are fiberglass would like to have a graphite one just to try. If you have one what do you like or dislike about it. Thanks

If you have to use the swivel put it up about 12" above the bait and then run a leader it will work much better and help with the line twist.

It is probably the new magnum finesse worm they look almost just like a senko.

You should also check your guides get a q-tip and run around the guide inserts had this problem about a year ago and that is what it was a small nick in one of the guides. If that is not the problem I would go with the P-Line Cxx also like Roadwarrior said you will not break it on the hookset.

Almost all of the wooden baits have no rattles Dt- Dt-4 the Rick Clunn Luckycraft original is silent, Bomber Balsa B, any of the Bagleys. etc

Hard to beat Chartreuse, White, or my favorite Chartreuse/White, I also like painted blades if it is really overcast or really windy.

Swamp Donkeys and Ribbits all the way.

They are all so good why just pick 2 but if I had too I would say the Splatterback Shad and Copper Perch.
