  1. I have a gen 2 revo sx, what I do is make the spool as loose as it can be without any side to side play and then turn the brakes way up. I have 0 problems this way, I used to have tons of probs setting it up the "traditional" way. Im usually 3/4 of the way to max and if its a light bait sometimes im within 2 clicks of maxing out. I used to hate this reel but its one of my favs.
  2. Veritas is better and the Abu's customer service is Grade A USDA Filet.
  3. Went today to the lake I fish and we caught 7 between 2 of us on rattle traps. My buddy caught 3, his 1st time ever and one of them was a hog, swallowed the whole trap. One trap was silver and chartreuse(buddy) and the other was blueberry perch (mine)
  4. Exactly, Ive caught so many on those swimming and bouncing them or tossing it in front of them on my spinning reel
  5. I used sexy shad but maybe try some fire tigers or something bright to have some variety. The red eye shad should annoy them also buzzing by or being yoyo'd. I used the gold color with great success. The water there is pretty blue/clear so it should reflect well and visibility should be great. I know my friend was killing some on x raps in white/ghost minnow but that was in miami. The small jigs I used were in lime green and the hooks are so small that the fish inhale the whole thing. Ive also picked up some smaller peas on rooster tails and spinner baits, the 1 dollar walmart variety in 1/4 oz. I may try to hit some pea spots tomorrow or sunday myself.
  6. Nice fish, Keep slaying them. I love the spinnerbait also because I love chucking and reeling baits!
  7. I've caught peas at the same park on kvd 1.5s and kvd sexy dawg top waters. I would hittem with some traps and red eyed shads. Ive been catching peas elsewhere on them. You may also want to try small jigs you get from walmart that look like flys or buy some live bait. Theres a bait and tackle store down the street you can get live bait from if needed.
  8. I don't even know what Id use mono for anymore. Last time I got hung up on something my lure came back at me like a sling shot. I just want to buy some fluorescent green mono because its so bright and pretty.
  9. Yes, unfortunately. Hit the faq sticky for alternatives and ways to make the Yamamoto Senko last longer
  10. Are your other reels the same model curado? Maybe you got a lemon if so.
  11. Depending on the area...I'll get lures stuck in trees or on other structure and get them back with 50-65, sometimes that will even break off if bad enough but I usually get them back 98% of the time.
  12. On the other site, they said 1yr from the *** reps, but if they sped that up that will make tons of people happy
  13. I'd go 7ft. You have more options and that way and can add a trailer without overpowering the rod.
  14. Hated red label on the spool, but great as leader. Bps and invisx has been good so far
  15. Sounds like a job for the NRX
  16. They like carbs, bread. You can also try the small jigs they sell at walmart.
  17. That's the fascination, the fight. Let's be honest, we all love catching fish but a bass is easily reeled in unless on light tackle unless it's stuck in vegetation. I agree with you about holding off driving so far unless he knows a spot that's holding fish and big fish to make it worthwhile.
  18. The lipless crank seems to be the choice of fish recently. Bass, peas and snakes all have been hitting them in the same areas. Pretty fun fighting a snakehead on 12lb yozuri with loose drag. Been having more accidental snakehead success than when I go hunting for them. The peas have been aggressive for sure.
  19. After 30 days bass pro will probably direct you to Abu, see what they say
  20. Veritas has 3 years and you can get 2 for the price of one duckett depending on the application you want may work out better
  21. How can you not want to go broke reading things like this?
  22. Your news is better than what I had for lunch. Good start to the week for you. Let us know bout that there rod sensitivity when you fish it.
  23. The hooks are definitely a weak point on this bait. I had peackcock bass straighten them out yesterday without a overly tight drag. Great to know for replacing if needed.
  24. Congrats, give us a write up asap. Let us know about the the unrivaled sensitivity. I soon will be part of the NRX gang (895), Im treating myself to the excellence I read about.
  25. I still love my gen2 revo sx, it has built my biceps up nicely
