Is power pro much better than spiderwire?
20 vs 20 Ill take Super8slick over 832. S8S stronger smoother quieter than 832. Palomar knot letting loose at 18pounds with 832 where S8S was upwards of 24. Fish-n-fool knot added strength to both lines so still S8S stronger. Another strong limb braid (more so than S8S Smackdown 832) just not as quiet as S8S is Gamma Torque.

Fenwick elite tech casting rods
I purchased an ETB 7'6" MH/F and wasnt pleased with it. Didnt feel good in hand felt it was a bit heavy and it was tip heavy that compounded the issue. Overall sensitivity was under par for other rods I have in its price range. I returned it.

Mepps Aglia
I was having luck with size 3 silver blade white skirt end of this season. And yeah the blades on Mepps seem to spin easily compared to Roosters. With Roosters I seem to have to snap the lure at the beginning of retrieve to get blade to spin. Mepps just start reeling and blade turns even very slow speed.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Yeah the lure caught me. The weight for its size is what Im going to like. The pic makes it look bigger its maybe 1-7/8" long and 1/2" at tallest point about 1/4" thick . Going to have great distance for sure hopefully it catches fish. I have two St Croix's that will try it on. Avid 8' ML/Moderate and a Legend Elite 7'6" M/F. Im leaning towards the Avid for ned rig use.

Paying for the name about like Smackdown braid. Have tried this in 2 different tests not finding where the premium price it is justified. Its not stronger or quieter nor holds its color as well as $15-$20 braids.

Best Line to Use for Finesse Fishing (spinning reel)
I used that on my gliss but then I tried doubling the line over about a foot then tied the fish-n-fool and got 4 more pounds of knot strength. The same doubling over of the line with the FnF on nanofil helps greatly as well.
