Biospawn Plasma tail worm, Zoom Trick Worm or recently the Fishog Coon Tail worm has become my go to bait for shaky head. They are inexpensive and the different presentation it gives that other worms in my area do have had made them deadly.

My Opinion is the Kustom Kicker Jigs makes the best jig Ive ever fished. That are hand tied with copper wire. The skirt is a living rubber skirt. My personal favorites are the Dock Monkey and Deposit Swim Jig.

I thought they we're releasing a gen 2 Exo like they did the smoke? I hope the New line is just as good.

They used to do a monthly subscription box like mtb and ltb. It was $5 a month and you for 3 to 4 if plastics. Now they get sent throug ltb.

I love them. I use the hogzilla every year when bass are on beds. The Coon Tail worm is my favorite shakey had worm to. I can't remember the name but their stick bait works wonderfully when wakey rigged. I have bought over 100 bags since they have went inn sale for .99

I was thinking that the keitech durability woulda be an issue in the a rig since you have to use the entire package for one rig. That is way I bought some speed shad while on sale to just in case

Comparing the speed shad and the swing impact they look and feel exact same. I think I'm going to use the speed shad just because the price differential

I only use Denali and it seems they are a helluva lot more balance than My wife's ghosts. However you are correct that they balance better then other overly produced rods.

I'm very excited to try Them out this season. I know there Ida no-one that used them on My home lake

What kind of cover do u fish them in? My lake is full of vegitation with a clay bottom. I assume swim it just over the vegitation like a lipless crank.

Most of my reels WERE Revos. Then I tried 13 and switched a majority of luv reels to13. But lately I have dabeled in Quantum and think I am going to switch over to Quantum. The Exo is my all time favorite reel. I can't wait till the next gen is released. The gen 2 smoke are extremely under rated. I love the Accurist at $99 and the team KVD sub $99. At this point my Arsenal is 13 and Quantum only. And When I need reels Quantum it's the first place I'll look then to 13. I personally cannot agree with this. My least favorite reels I've used have been. Daiwa Lexa, Tatula and Shimano Caenan and Citica E. My all time favorite is the Quantum Exo and Revo STX.

I have never fished a swimbait. I want to get into it rods season and stay with soft ones like the swing impact and speed shad. When is the swimbait bite the most productive? Also how would you feel with using the swing impact fat on the Alabama rig?

You can buy some at Cabelas still. I saw they make pork trailers and finesse worms. I almost bought stome yesterday but I couldn't pull the trigger on the price

I fish the same way. My wife on the other hand holds the rod straight out. And frankly she kicks my butt when we are cranking. I'm just trying to find a reel that will make her happy.

Lews was the next brand I was going to try next.

I used to really dislike Quantum. But over the winter I bought the new gen smoke and a handful of Exo ($99 Cabelas) and wow do I love them. I think quantum may be my go to reels. The Exo has a great reputation but the Smoke is the most under rated reels. You won't be disappointed in either reel.

My wife bought a couple Ghost rods a med crankbait and hvy. I have been trying to pair reels to it for her but I can't find one that balances the rod. These rods seem very tip heavy. I have tried quantum Exo, quantum team kvd, 13 A, bass pro carbonlite, bass pro bionic, Abu Revo S. Nothing seems to counter the tip heaviness. What reels are you using on the Ghost rod?

Personally I only use them as swim jig trailers.

They are on sale Now for $99 just bought them. Cabelas spring fishing sale

The kastking on the MH, they other 3 on the rest. Braid line on the reel paired with the hvy rod, 15# on the MH rod, 12# on the 2 medium rods

Anything that's not a Shimano or Daiwa. Partial to Revos

Love the exo. I have 3 and just bought 2 more. They were $99 on Cabelas don't know if they still are

My area a 3# is a giant fish. When I use a Hvy Rod in light grass I set the hook and it jerks the fish out of the water. I know that it is in my hook set even though I am not setting the hook like my life depends on it I do set hard to the side. But I also feel that the rod is also setting the hook harder than it needs to be.

I'm in the process of selling nut frog Rods and getting some MH but didn't want to do it and be too underpowered when froggin.

I fish almost every time out with a frog. They are so successful in my,area because nobody else uses them. But I do have a small issue with the rods I use. Most waters by me offer small grass and Lily pads. I don't have the slop that most people think of when frog fishing. When I'm fishing it feels like I am over powering with a hvy frog rod. Is it feesable to use a med hvy rod to frog when you are not fighting slop?
