Minor Color Change?
This past weekend I was using a green pumpkin bladed jig and didn't get it. I saw a whole bunch of bait popping and wasn't getting bit. Did a quick color change to an all white and hammered around 30 bass later. I think my situation was more of a match the hatch type. lol either way changing the color did help me.

I just saw they have two used rods Megabass Destroyer P5 BMG and FMJ for $499 used. Not bad combo price. Only 1 in quantity. (Went back and checked and saw 10 quantity but it might be glitched?)

bladed jig Setup
Nice. I'm still trying to find the perfect reel to pair with my rod. Right now I'm pairing it with the SLX 70a and it's been great.

What size line should you use for general bass fishing
10-12lb Mono Big Game is what I first used when bass fishing. Spray some KVD Line Conditioner and you will be set!

American legacy trade ins
I submitted a couple of quotes for some reels and rods and they weren't offering much at all. I rather sell my stuff and make A LOT more than what they had to offer me.

Rapala The Mayor replacement
I use the Yamamoto Zakos. Durability is extremely bad, but I love them so much I just gather all the ripped ones and use Mend-It to glue it back and re-use them again until I can't. lol

Opinions on new baitcast reel
If you're just starting baitcasting I would get the SLX. Like stated above internal brakes are fine. I run 2 on and 2 off. It palms pretty well and is a workhorse. I sold all my expensive reels to get nothing but the new SLX70. It is so smooth, cast very well, and fits my palms perfectly.
