Tell us what rod it is,,brand and model specs etc..

I am wondering if anyone here has ever put outdoor carpeting on the seats of an aluminum rowboat. This is something that I have seen many times in the areas I fish. My trouble is, I don't know what adhesive to use. Anyone been down this road?

The Tube is a classic bait. Tubes are a staple in Bassin. I like Berkley Original Power Tubes 4" Green Pumpkin. I wouldnt think anyone uses them exclusively for LMB. They are a crawfish imitator which both species eat very willingly.

no smaller than 1/0,I prefer 2/0. I am actually going to try the Owner Wacky hooks this year. I normally use the Owner Mosquitoes in 2/0 with very good results. Gammy 2/0 Octopus is good also.

Getting backlash out is a bit easier for me anyway. Just watch the weight of the baits you throw,that reel isn't going to do well with light baits.

Whats the Sink rate as compared to a Senko?

I have never used these,,can anyone educate me on how they should be and how they could be fished?

Like most BPS products,they are not quality hooks. Spend a little extra for Owners.

Weightless plastics with a Citica? hmmm sounds like backlash city to me.

I have never understood how red line is supposed to be invisible to fish but red hooks are supposed to attract them. Took the words right out me mouth !

BLACK

500% ZILLION! It's a bulletproof reel!

A black skirt with a Big Gold Blade would be nice.

Cool, Appreciated

Yeah, cause they are junk. They are not going to cast a light crankbait. Doesn't pay to buy something that is not going to do what you need it to do. You guys should know better. What I do know is that the two Pro Qualifier reels I have, and use regularly, are excellent reels, both casting and retrieving. I also know that you seem to have missed learning how to disagree without be disagreeable. There is no need to be insulting. One last thing: The original poster asked a specific question about reel speed. He did not ask for your opinion of Basspro reels. :-* :-* Hey where did u get that one?

None taken.

Oh yeah,,right up there with a Sluggo.

If you have intentions of throwing a DD22 you may very well appreciate that 4.7. I use a Zillion Crazy Cranker which is 4.9:1 and it is worth every penny when it comes to that type of crank.

I'm more concerned about the reel choice than the ratio. Why is that? I have all BPS Pro lite and PQ after selling my shimanos and quantums and a diawa! I have had them for a long while and have had no problems with any of the reels! They cast just as far as my brand name reels. So maybe you can come down off your high horse and join the rest of us! OR maybe he could step up to the top of the pile and join some of us. JK 8-) Seriously, Ive bought 2 of the BPS PQ reels, still have 1 and they are good reels. Not anything like my Steez reels but I think they are good value for the $$$. The fact that you can compare a BPS reel to a Shimano or Daiwa tells me you don't know much about reels. Funny, Ive been using baitcasters for around 10 years! I have had a wide variety of curados, few different types of quantums. I had a diawa tda. I like my pq and pro lites better. My pro lites cast 1/4oz cranks just fine! I have never had any problems with them ever! Your ignorance astounds me! Whatever you say.

Are we talking baitcaster or spinning reel? 3/8 Spinnerbait?

DO they work? yeah sure,,Special? nope,just another bait that catches fish,,but theres tons of those.
