Curado 70 - Bearing Size for Handles ?
Am thinking of adding the bearing in the handles but I wanted to double check if this is the right size (4x7x2.5) I know I can get the bearings from Ebay which is cheap with shipping. I wanted to turn that into a little Scorpion. Thanks in advance ..

Is this a Largemouth or Smallmouuth?
To tell small mouth and large mouth bass apart, look at the closed mouth. If it extends back beyond the back of the eye, the fish is a largemouth. If it goes only to the middle of the eye, it's a smallmouth (Smallie). The Smallie's color looks like its ready for war

Stupid mistake
Bahahahah ! Once, I gotten a package from tacklewarehouse. I opened the box and looked at this Power team lure hog tonic attraction that I just ordered. I open the bottle and took a whiff. "Geez, It smells good" and took two "little" spray in the house. Lets say that wife wasn't really happy about it cuz it skunked the house for a while "but I thought it was like perfume ...it would go away in a few hours" I was really thrown into the doghouse....

10 Lbs Braid line Safe for Wacky Setup: Sufix 832 Ghost
Exactly why I went with white lines. I'm a line watcher and its difficult for me during the cloudy days with green. I admit, I would pick "pink" line. I might do that for the thrill of it

10 Lbs Braid line Safe for Wacky Setup: Sufix 832 Ghost
Thanks guys - Just wanted to make sure since I have spooled it up with Yo-Zuri Hybrid 8 lbs line for 5 to 6 feet leader. When I attend a tournament event, Ill change the leader to Seaguar Red Label FC at 10 lbs to play safe. Again, thanks for making me feel little better

10 Lbs Braid line Safe for Wacky Setup: Sufix 832 Ghost
Hey Guys - Been using Tuf-line for my braid line (White 15 lbs) for a while . Just recicerv the package from tacklewarehouse and its so thin. I just put on sufix 832 Ghost on my LTB with Stratic 2500 CI4+. Not only that, I just hooked up a bass today which was in 1.5 lbs range while doing shore fishing (90% of the time) I'm thinking that this would be good as long there is not much heavy cover and mostly grass area. How do you guys handle those light 10 lbs line in tournaments ?

Braid on Spinning Reel
Yes, I know it hurts but better to be safe and its only MONEY ! You want to save the bass's life if the line snaps and not swimming with a hook and line around in the lake ...Its no fun being laughed down there by their peers

Braid on Spinning Reel
Dang - been using 6 feet leader on my wacky rod. In the past, I used to 24 inch leader but just prefer 6 feet for some reason and better release. 10 Lbs white braid line with 8 lbs Seaguar Red Label is what I use and It has not yet failed. Call me paranoid but I just don't like the fish being distracted by the white braid line in the strike zone.

Need help picking chatterbait reel
I throw this on the Dobyns Champion 734C with Abu Garcia Gen2 STX (6.4.1) without any issues. Im considering moving up to Shimano Curado 70 XG (8.2.1) or Curado 200IHG (7.2.1). I am afraid that it might be too fast for me since I like to blast out in the veg in the area that I fish

Mono Or Braid?
Best decision you would make ...Go BRAID ! Question is which like would you like. I like the Tuf-Line the best since its more soft. Some people swear on power Pro but I think its too stiff for my taste. However I tend to have like 6 feet leader of 8 lbs line using the Braid to Fluorocarbon Knot: Alberto Knot http://www.saltwaterexperience.com/braid-to-fluorocarbon-knot/ But I just ordered Sufix 832 Braided Line Ghost 10 lbs to test it out.. However, once you move, You would see big time in casting distance. ( I hope ) Give a a try ...
