Have used this lure numerous times this year. Its black & blue (proven color). Have used different trailers on it, first the one it came with, then a slug-go, then a black & blue craw, then a small swimbait. This thing hasn't caught me nothing. My chatterbait brand on the other hand has caught me two big bass and a big pickerel. What gives?

Spiderwire stealth braid 15lb. test. I had a custom terminator spinnerbait whith a huge white blade and was bulging it. Bam 3lb even smokes it. A few casts later I cast off my lure, however there is still some line floating in the water and i am able to retrieve it. Tie the fish catching lure on again and cast, this time it breaks closer to the lure and its gone into the muck forever. So i tie on another lure (secret) and cast that thing off to. Im losing my patience at this point. So I strip off half my spool and tie on another lure, and didn't have any more line related problems that evening. This braid i spooled on before this season.Its been on for a decent amount of casts, but im not even half way thru the season. There wasn't any obvious signs of degeneration and it wasn't tangling much. Usually braid will tangle before it snaps as it ages. So should i be changing line more often? Is spiderwire stealth not a good line? Help appreciated.

Grubs, inline spinners, spinnerbaits, tubes, poppers.

Since i posted this thread they still haven't responded to my email.

I found out how to take the plate off, so i did that and took the spool out and lubed up the bearing, as well as the brake and the worm gear while i was at it. I haven't been on the water yet to see if the problem is relieved. In the meantime i pulled the trigger on a new reel, the bps tourney special. Thanks for the offer DVT, but I want to learn how to work on these reels myself, however you are close so if i have a major problem i could ship it down to you.

My revo sx that i just got repaired the end of last season is screaming horribly on the cast. There is deffinetly some friction in there because it is restricting distance. I really don't know how to work on this real, i don't even know how to take the side plate off. Maybe BPS has a cheaper reel repair deal than the place i shipped it off to last time. Wut should i do here?

So i gather there is very little difference performance-wise.

I was dissapointed the other evening to find my local Barnes&Noble bookstore stopped carrying Bassmaster magazine. I have an old collection of Bassmaster, and I want to be in the know this summer. Bassmaster was the best fishing magazine if you ask me. I sent an email to them and I never heard back. I would at least like to hear from them before I order a subscription off that website. A while ago espn owned BASS. Who owns them now? I think BASS had declined ever since Ray Scott passed. All the pros are ditching BASS for major league fishing and FLW. And now my bookstore dosen't even carry them.

Looking at the bps Johnny Morris carbonlite combo for the future possibly. It has as an option a microguide casting rod. What are the advantages or disadvantages of microguide? thanks.

Im really liking fishing chatterbaits this season, fun lure to fish. How do they work for smallmouth in lakes? what about Rivers?
