5 is a good all around setting but you may want to start higher. I have an MG and its similar in braking this may help, its at the top of the forum http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/how-to-cast-baitcast.html

my goto was a tequila sunrise worm growing up .... i need to try them again

The 1st time was a box with bubble wrap...crack 2nd time was a huge rod tube that looked like super mario could use to teleport to another world but 3rd times the charms and I was duly compensated for my troubles

all sorted out now and Im smiling, stylin and profilin! woo woo oooooo woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I usually get caught out in the dark and keep fishing until mosquitoes send me in. Thank god for the flashlight app on my cellphone.

j/k Ill check for more vids

Isn't this one of the most annoying things when it comes to fishing? I'm talking about when there seems to be a flock that wont take no for an answer. I had to take the lure off within a few casts or 'Id be flying live kites all day. Ducks (normal ugly Florida type) usually leave me alone except for one or 2 random breeds that seem to chase lures.

unfortunately they seem to be the only ones apart from the Manufacturer vids with all the pros saying...."this is the greatest reel everrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Thanks, will do. Ill try assaulting a spot where I know big fish are and possibly some peacock bass areas as well. Show them something different.

Took the plunge on a few which made me split a nice order of them and a few other items from Academy...1st time dealing with them. $2.88 each on clearance. few different styles Any experience with these...trying to seduce some hogs

J Francho is the happiest fisherman Ive seen in pics, always with the gameshow host smile. I use 10lb but based on some replies here, I may step it up, preferably buy another spool.

zman worms n lizards from wally world do the trick, cheap and last for manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fish

laser mg is graphite with centrifugal brakes speed spool is aluminum with mag brakes....star drag clicks tournament mg is fancier version of the speed spool, clicking tension and star drag (metal), magnetic brakes, bigger spool and longer handle

good to know the specs!

I actually like the rubbery feel of the paddles, much better than the feel of the citica e I own Enjoy your purchase. Ill be picking up a few myself to accompany some lonely rods at some point.

Mods can move/delete this if need be Just a thought that crossed my mind as I was browsing the catalog The catalog says so, but it has 86 reviews online 159.99 The PQ has over 656 reviews 99.99 Are they pulling a fast one to sell their priciest reel or is there truth to this? Id think the trend would continue in store.

No you aren't, I didnt mean to sound like a d-bag towards you nor the other poster I quoted. I overlooked that part of him spending money on baits, mainly because of tears in my eyes from my broken rods. Lets all carry on.

I used to watch him when I was a little kid. I actually started watching again recently and tried downloading his app based on his show and all I got was a pic with a bass with a hat on it lol. He always has a few hogs per show. My mom and I always wondered if he had divers on set hooking these fish onto the line....the power of editing

Be nice to me, I own a citica =)

assuming he has money to blow, some must make due with what we have...You can get plenty from walmart and walmart online to suit your needs

dont forget the 30 dollar rebate

the spinning combo looks tasty as does the bc

I love them rollback prices

I just told them send me the 6ft9 again...I inspected the larger rod heavily, the guides were bent somehow.. I was able to bend the smaller guides back into shape but the bottom guide is bent way too much to even be used, plus the insert is cracking. We shall see what happens on the next shipment.....

they run horrible for the most part, ive tried tweaking them. Ill just put them on my a-rig
