Tranx and I have 2 Tatula 200s.

Gan craft makes one that suspends

28.44 would be my best 5

Another vote for Armillo

Buy a pack of Gamakatsu football jigheads and add a skirt. Ends up being about a 1.25 a jig.

Bottom Up Chibble is worth every penny.

Hey all looking to get a rod to toss 1/2oz Keitech footballs around. I'm looking at this rod and just wondering if anyone out there has this rod and could offer some insights. Right now II run a Levante Brailist and it's just a little much for the light wire hooks.

Yes that's it. I've gone under an eighth of an ounce with it and had no complaints. I throw it on a rod built on an NFC 663 blank (1/8-3/8)

I have a Ray's in mine. I love it. Spooled with 4lb fluorocarbon. It was like 50 bucks

Wife ordered mine the 24th and I got the email the 27th at 7am.

These threads are like finding the perfect jerkbait set up, no concensus. For me... and I Carolina Rig 8 months a year on Champlain and the St Lawrence, a LONG rod for moving a ton of line on the hook set and easier casting long leaders. Main line I go with Fluoro, less stretch than mono and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more durable than braid being dragged over mussel covered bottoms. Weights the Phenix Finesse or Rockcrawler weights depending on the bottom the slender profile truly comes through cover better. Leader, mono to a worm hook (Not EWG). I pre-tie hook to leader to swivel and put them on wraps. Then keep spare parts inside the wrap. Personal set up: NFC HM 807 spiral wrapped. Tatula HD 20lb Seguar Abrazx Spro swivel, bead and Phenix Weight 12-17lb mono leader. Good for 1/2 - 1 oz weighted rigs in 1-50'

Nemire spoons are awesome

Bottom Up Chibble spinnerbait (chatterbait and spinnerbait hybrid) Evergreen Last Ace 95 (floating minnow you wacky rig and twitch)

Megabass Perfect Pitch for 6" rigged and Freestyle Magdrafts.

Just placed a tw order and they threw in 3 Lobina Rio blems for free.

The 777 shower blow works very well. I love the bone/white with pink one. Spot remover in the jackhammer OR if you can find the jdm model, the make a sick June bug one.

Daiwa Fuegos are $78 on Amazon. No brainer.

Tranx or Scorpion MD, and I'm a Daiwa guy. The tunabilty of the Scorpion and handle length choices are certainly intriguing. I have 2 Tatula HD reels and a Catalina TWS (zillion HD frame) and I have dinner plates for hands and the few Tranx I've tried palm better. Fast ratio but longer handle is actually easier to slow down than a shorter handle and same ratio.

Got mine Tuesday

When we have bonfires a rod tube inserted appropriately sounds like a jet engine. Which is a great deal (staying relevant to the thread)

Couldn't get bit on a coverscat. Ikas and Keitech footballs YES... throw a coverscat right after those and the fish stopped biting. OSP baits were amazing, pretty sure if I threw the wrapper in, it would get bit.

Echoing the zillion tw sv g... just got a jdm one. Amazing reel.
