Thanks Big Tom I searched it but that thread dint come up.

How do you guys apply KVD Line n lure to your line is it necessary to apply it with a cloth to the line or just spray on the spool. Also how often. Any comments would be helpful.

WAVE. It's all about the MOLOPO.

I like the 5:1 for all cranks. But you could use whatever ratio you want you just have to slow down the retrieve. A good size rod is 7' it adds distance to your cast compared to 6'or 6'-6", this is helpful when your casting light cranks like griffons. Medium is a good power. I use a kistler mag/ crank rattle and roll and curado E5

If you want to switch line you can. Just reel the line off the reel with a spare reel then off that reel to the new one. Takes a bit of time but it can be done. This way the small coils are at the bottom of the spool still. But before you use it let a bunch of line out behind the boat and then reel in to alleviate line twist.

What's the best way to utilize my line. I just spooled up a curado e7 with 10 lb yozuri. What do you guys do with the rest of the spool. Or should I use mono backing on the reel to get 2 reels full. use it for leaders etc? Or is yozuri spools of 275 just not enough?

The split grip on a loomis is going to look awesome. But I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

Letting it suspend for roughly 10 seconds.

I would go for the kistler magnesium also the abu Garcia vendetta series are good and very affordable. But I haven't tried the bucoos yet so I can't comment.

I tied to a snap and removed the split ring is it possible that the fish I just caught streched the line even though it was only small, or is there a wrong way to tie a palomar knot. Maybe it just swallowed the lure so deep that it's teeth cut the line because I was letting it pause for about 10 seconds. Who knows these are the things you try to figure out so that it doesn't happen again. ( $150 in swimbaits yeah that sucks)

Just got back from fishing. I'm pretty new to expensive lures , but this winter I bought a bunch of lucky craft, megabass etc. Well I through out the aurora gold 78sp and within a couple casts caught a largemouth. I checked the line then cast again and hooked another one I set the hook and fought for a few seconds then snap. Looked at the line seems to be broke at the knot. That's one expensive lure I lost especially in Canada. Next thing I know the fish jumps about ten feet out and it was huge. I was using 12lb trilene xl and kistler 7' M. I feel like my whole day is ruined. :'(

I would have bought a few rods from there discounts they send me. But I live in Canada so it doesn't really work out with the shipping and taxes. Oh well I have a few kistlers already. Wish I had a z- bone though.

Power pro guy here. It works great for me. 30lb and 50lb I can cast way further then mono. Keep messing with your reel till you get it dialed in correctly.

I was thinking of purchasing this reel. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what are the differences between it and the curado 200e. Or is it the JDM version of a different reel? Thanks for any input.

spinning-I like my 6'9" kistler magnesium and stradic 2000fg. It just feels right casting-I like my mbr784c and curado e7.

I was mainly using the revo sx last year. Then I picked up a curado e7 then another then a e5. I wasn't buying into all the hype about the curado ( what a mistake) as soon as you use one you know your getting your moneys worth. Now my revo sits on the rack on it's new vendetta rod collecting dust.

Could someone please let me know what size hooks go with what size plastics when drop shotting and which weight size to use also. I am going to try this technique with some Wave 3.5" tiki drops. Thanks

Is the guide spacing closer on these rods? If not Im concerned that the line will rub on the rod a lot easier when the tip is bent. Unless they are spiraled which kistler, carrot stix are not. Still up in the air.

Custom rod builders have been using these for a long time. IMO don't think it makes to much of a difference in casting distance. They are also supposed to reduce backlashes. One thing to think about is line slap. Unless they are spiraled. Everyone is jumping on the band wagon but I'm not buying into it.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just keep practicing and trying different combos.

Carp are setting up there nests right now. They are very active jumping and rolling on the surface. There nests are in weedy areas and they are patting down all the weeds for there nests. That's as much as I know about carp. It sure does make your head turn on a calm day though.

Im having problems walking the dog. I can't seem to get that constant zig zag effect, seems to just come straight sometimes. I'm using a 7' kistler mag with curado 200e5 ( might be to long)throwing Sammies. Is this a good combo? What line? What gear ratio? What rod? I'd appreciate any opinions.
