Power Pro Super Slick 8
If its rougher something is wrong. Ive tried a bunch of braid and s8s is the quietest and very smooth compared to others. Its my favorite at the moment but Iv been trying out GAMMA Torque and this stuff is pretty nice not as quiet as s8s but strong and tight weave and more subtle.

Why Fish Don't See Your Lures: How Fish Vision... By Greg Vinall
Any info on the acuity a bass actually sees??? One article Ive read a Berkley research scientist states they dont see very well at all. They can see only about 50' and the acuity is about 10% of humans, they have to get really close to object to see it well. Any other info thoughts on this?

How to Rig 4.8" Keitech Swing Impact Fat?
I reelly like the Trokar Boxer Jig for my swimbaits a 4.8" sif is pictured. Super sharp and sticks them easily. It has forward spikes top and bottom to hold the swimbait on. I like the spikes better than the round holder on a regular jig likely the type you are having difficulties with. Of course this is used in more open water spots but it actually goes through weeds ok'ish

My Heart Goes out to Orlando
Yes it does matter at this point, before this point, and in the future. There are people that dont believe certain others should live cause of a lifestyle, shouldnt sweep it under the rug so we dont hurt their feeling.

They were killed/injured due to the lifestyle they chose/choose to lead that conflicts with the beliefs/ideology of the Radical Islam perp.

Retrieve For Paddle Tail Swimbait ?
At first I let it fall almost to the bottom cause Im in 20fow a lot and quite often get hit on the fall. If that tactic isnt producing a slow speed is what I like and I bought a lower gear ratio(5.8:1, 23.6ipt ) reel specifically fot that use.

I need help finding a finesse baitcaster!
A curado 50e can toss 3" BPS stik-o fairly well and those(mine i weighed) weigh .12292oz. Ive used it to throw Bitsy Minnow cranks that weigh .0823oz around 35'-40' with 10# braid. This was with a non-finesse rod Quantum Smoke7' M/F lure rating of 1/4-3/4.

Oakley Mainlink Prizm deep/shallow water sunglasses
Well for 40 miles around me there are like 50+ places that sell oakley costa but no smith dealers, that could be one reason. Its difficult enough finding a pair that fits well even with the selection around me. Going to be very unlikely that I purchase glasses without trying on first. Heck even 3-4 pairs of the same model can all fit differently.

Oakley Mainlink Prizm deep/shallow water sunglasses
I wouldnt get MAINLINK for fishing those are more of a "style" frame. Look at TURBINE ROTOR those wrap more around your eyes or regular TURBINES also BATWOLF even JAWBREAKERS.

Best Line Type For Wacky Worm / Stick Bait ?
My senko set up I use nanofil. Casts better than braid fc. Those long casts, you can get with a senko100+', hooksets hook ups better than lower test fc. When Im dragging moving senko along bottom its the most sensitive live between the three types. Plus on the bottom more weeds to deal with and the no stretch makes it more efficient working the senko through those weeds.

Best baitcaster
Yeah Im running 16# Sniper FC going below 8 of 20 clicks the need for thumbing seems to get in the way of distance. The line unloads on the spool too much, I dont use line conditioner and I also have Hedgehog ceramic bearings in mine so the spool spins more freely. I have a Tatula also and though it doesnt behave as well as the SV spool never had issues with line snapping. I have used 15# & 40# braid with it, havent used FC so cant comment on how that would work.

Best baitcaster
I have Daiwa SV105P its not backlash proof but does very well. There are 20 clicks for the brake adjustment. From 0-8 you're going to need thumb and be more mindful on your cast. 9-12 seems the sweet spot for distance control will get slight fluffing but works out on its own. 13-20 is mostly thumb free casting no worries but at the cost of distance. These settings are for most lures, going to like lipless cranks that cast much more easily can adjust setting a few clicks lower usually. For fluorocarbon I wont go under 8 on the dial and with braid, which is more manageable, I can go down to 2.

Fat Ika question
The waters you fish very clear? If so One thing I do while sight fishing cruising bass is throw ahead of them, a good 20' or so, let ika settle to bottom then right as I see the bass get almost above ika thats when I give the ika a little pop or shake to try and get reaction strike.

Sufix Performance Braid
Only used 4 strand 20# and didnt like it, the noisiest braid Ive used.

Fat Ika question
Do you have the ikas lined up straight??? I just got back from using ikas and mine comes back very straight on steady retrieve. When I jerk them back to hop off the bottom they will shoot in random direction I guess. I like how they work with braid popping off the bottom better than what Fluoro does, fluoro seems to weigh it down some braid gives it a more free action. When rigged backwards try to "walk" it back to you, like a frog. With the right cadence you can get it to move left/right pretty well Ive caught quite a few fish doing this.
