I strongly disagree I've had four team allstar telescopes and they were light, well balanced, and never accidentally broke down. Mine were all victims of tragedies. Two broke on boat and two were lost in the great fire of 2014(my divorce). ? I have been hard pressed to find replacements.

I agree, I dont understand anyone's issue with blowups. You have plenty of time to hooksett after a blowup. And as anyone that casts right handed and reels right-handed can tell you putting it in your left hand during the cast is part of the process and second nature.

So as an example speaking to this I am right handed and insist on my dominant hand cranking so I always have a smooth retrieve. Lol at this point I can't imagine walking the dog with my right hand controlling. And after about the third time you go fishing you won't even realize how smoothly your right hand transfers to the left after the cast.

Best advise from these two men. Being poor, I run 6bc and 6 spin setups with no more than 2 of the same reels. My light/soft bait finesse rods are nearly free spooling revo st-x reels. Imho practice and experience with your thumb is the biggest key. It helps starting out if you keep your reel at 9oclock(right handed) throughout the cast. You'll get it. But like they told you, dial in with a heavy bait or even a big nut until your thumb gets used to feeling it. You seem to be trying to run a marathon before you can walk. It took me almost 15 years before trying a baitcaster for light baits and another 5 or so before I could skip a 4in seiko under a dock. Trust the process.

Like Skillet said.....I could totally put myself there with all the great pics. Thanks Also finding that wreck must have been pretty cool too!

If you have Insight , how does it work around here? Is it worth it for a local basser?

this one was just under 6.................................................. 6 inches

2 more...... I also got one around six pics to follow

Went to Webster today, Here's what I got. All five within 2 1/2 hours. They all weighed between 1 and 2 lbs. I don't know why the photos make them look so small.

:-/Danny Correia says burning a chartreuse bladed chartreuse spinner bait just below the surface works the best. I tried it all day yesterday, guess what............NODDA. Wacky worming at the moose is the only thing that worked for me. Thanks I will try your suggestions tomorrow. :-/

Final tournament on Webster this weekend and I am trailing by 1 point anybody got any ideas? I have really been struggling there lately. I am going there now to see if I can figure it out.

I would say that you have a 2-2.5 pounder in your left hand and 2.5-3 pounder in your right. I hope the little guy got to catch some

Great post man! Shawn here, good to meet ya. That Koi is freakin crispy. Catch em on corn ya say? What size hook? Sinker? We have a pond with alot of Koi and Carp but I can't figure out how to catch the darn things. They always startle the crap out of me when I am fishing up tight for Bass. I tried to catch them with carp bait, but just kept catching little cats.

I would guess around 6-6.5# Now that you have the formula remember to bring a little tape measure whenever you go, like the one a seemstress would use. I know from experience...it sucks not knowing. My first PB was 5lb 2oz. I actually tied it to my boat (little row boat) with my anchor line so I could run to the store and buy a scale. (I thought it was 7 pounds)LOL

Nice have her drag you around a bit I would guess.
