  1. Fat ika type bait. Geecrack Spiron Magdraft Freestyle rigged weedless. Heavy enough to fall through the stalks buy weedless when pulled through. Bigger profile pushes out a lot of water and being less floppy than say a Keitech the paddle will not be as hindered by the weeds
  2. Found more info: Brand new 36mm Mag Z boost LC spool. Brand new drag system. Newly redesigned T wing. New elongated body. New 95mm solid handle. Double stopper mechanical clutch lock. Only weighs 1 ounce more than 100 size Definitely made for the 15lb+ line user It's a sub 8 oz version of what you could call a Shimano 275 sized reel.

    Definition of under the radar bait.
  4. Basically the Zillion HD wasn't HD enough and Daiwa saw the market finally understand the Zillion HD 1520. Loads of swimbait dudes use that reel. The capacity is the only meh against the current Zillion and this solves it.
  5. 3, 5, 7 of the overall top 10 1, 2, 4, 5 (live on), 8, 17 and 22 of the top 25 Northeast.
  6. Zappu Breddy magnum hooks Zappu Bellows Hook Ryugi carolina rig weights (bell shaped with a straw) Zalts lines have so far been pretty good too.
  7. One of the hottest things to do over the last couple years has been a ned type plastic on a football jig. No gobies in Champlain and it's not fished like a ned. If I carolina rigging I like the claws but on a jig I don't really worry.
  8. Based on the ebay prices I think you may be right and I am retiring tomorrow!

  10. Daiwa 200s are basically the same as Shimano 300s, so ergonomics will be pretty different. Then comes spool diameter being a bit different so a say 7.1:1 in each will pull a different length of line. With that out of the way the ratios for glides are usually higher speeds. It sort of comes down to line diameter you're using and bait size. 3oz and 15lb mono? yeah any shimano 200 will be fine. 20lb mono and a deps 250... Daiwa 200 all day.
  11. Lol!!! They did the same thing last year in Vermont with the Smallmouth. It wasn't even 4lbs and the dude said it was 7. His buddies even called ot out and the state kept promoting it.
  12. All good suggestions above. Throw in there the Eagle Claw Laser swimbait hook. Good spring, cheap and they rarely come off once hooked.
  13. I am by no means uptight, frankly I am positive my kids wish I was more uptight lol. Reaction Innovations bait colors turn me off from their products altogether.
  14. St Croix blanks are sold as Rod Geeks blanks.
  15. Anecdotally... I read your title and immediately thought the exact model you mentioned in your post. Been a lot of mentions around the internet (and a buddy who's broke) that the tips snap on those. It's weird because the shorter ML and M xf rods don't seem to have the issue. What do you use the rod for? Tangentially the knot around the tip top in the photo, if it happened before the break will definitely cause a break.
