  1. Yes and No on this just depends on that particular cast. On long casts many times there is NO thumb needed til water contact, line may run a bit during the cast but letting it work its way out is possible. This is where familiarity/experience come into play. On short fast casts thumbing feathering the spool may come into play more.
  2. I have a SK Rocket Shad spinnerbait rated at 1/4oz and actual is .2409oz its a bit smaller than a regular spinnerbait though. For a couple Rage tails Anaconda 10" .5116oz Thumper 10" .54205oz My 6" senkos .57658oz For the Ikas, SIF3.8, salty core stick 5" mine are right with your weights webertime
  3. Fat Ikas Keitech (Fat) Swing Impact Rapala Rippin Raps
  4. on a finesse baitcaster I assume
  5. I used 10/2 powerpro(10lb test-2lb dia) for quite a few years on one of my baitcasters. Senkos, lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, anything really. I use it with Spro frog to catch at the time my PB bass from slop pictured below and had to get it over the limb as well
  6. Check the hook sharpness, Ive had a couple LT frogs with less than ideal points. For times that the bass strikes and misses dont panic or reel in quickly just stop for a second recoup and give twitch again you may get hit a second third time. Or if in slop or thick vege have another rig set-up with a falling lure like senko, you get a strike that missed follow with senko throw it in the hole created by strike bass could be waiting below
  7. And you would be correct again. Big whoop if a small handful of some(myself included) use casting for finesse. On this site the super majority will go spinning. Out of 40000 plus members not 2% probably use casting finesse so a ? concerning finesse goes to spinning unless specified.
  8. Ive had quite a few Costas Oakleys Revo Maui Jim glasses and I go for what fits the best on my head. I want comfort and want the frames to block out most if not all peripheral light. Oakley is the only brand so far that has a few styles that do this. After about 8 Costas I gave up on them too many small frames and frames that dont seal out the light well.
  9. mono 10/105, 12/85, 14/70 braid 20/115, 30/105, 40/80
  10. I grabbed my Core50 and took the handle,nut,drag star and spool off of it (gotta be an ounce lighter) and put it on some of my rods. The lighter the rod the better the feel in hand. Smoke rod felt the best and Helios right there. The heavier rods like *** Crucial LTB didnt feel the greatest the Crucial LTB for sure cause the balance was off the most. I need to get something with my$300 giffcards at Gander so will be waiting for 1. they get them and 2. a sale they usually have like $50 off $400 spent or $100 off $500 and get Ald and another smoke rod.
  11. I think tourny wise 8' is the limit??? so if youre a bass angler wanting to compete your your rods wouldnt be allowed. I have an 8' spinning rod that is 3.6ozs I use for senkos spinnerbaits small cranks once accustomed to length accuracy isnt hindered. It is my favorite stick for senkos now. Ive also used 9-10' crappie poles for bass launching spinnerbaits senkos but mostly the length helps me reach over shoreline brush thats on embankments of certain lakes I fish.

  13. The correct ratio of line is around 7:1 7feet of line for every foot depth to get anchor dig
  14. Ive sang this to myself at least once every day for the past 20 years or so
  15. How much did Suggs win? We watched this at work and people asked me how much but I have no idea dont follow MLF.
  16. Well Im 100% very pleased with these eagle claws weedless red hooks. They are my go to hook for wacky senko rigging. They dont rust out like the bare ones do. Was used to get my PB last year. My other most used technique is for Ikas and brands range Gammy Deep Throat, Trokar TK110 and VMC Fast Grip wide gap.
  17. senkos are the best always will be nothing compares to them. And Bama Bug is the bestest color of all senkos as well.
  18. 4lbs 5oz 5" bama bug senko

  20. Also they sell just the skirt portion for cheap. I bought a few packs of them. Ill take a used Hydra when the skirt gets torn/worn bit up cut it off and attach an ika skirt to Hydra body.
  21. About last April they started being discontinued and out at TW BPS and other places. I snatched quite a few for $1.99 at OBT like TorqueConverter mentioned.

  23. The new CL rod has a line weight indicator on the butt section. "Bass Pro Shops' Line ID system that allows anglers to keep track of and easily identify the line weight used on each rod and reel setup" The new Quantum Smoke rod has a line indicator on the butt as well. "A new patent-pending Line Weight Indicator on the butt of the handle also provides a whole new level of convenience, allowing you to quickly identify which pound test is on your setup." Comparative 7' length M power the old Smoke was lighter than the old Carbonlite by 1/2oz or so.
