Oh, we dont have here,

Not availabe

Get the Pro Qualifier, I dont know about this Z reel. It just doesnt seem right.

I personally dont like the STX, I went with the SX. Dual brakes is just too much, for me its one or the other, not both. I have a BPS Pro Qualifier, and I like it, but I dont like the braking system. There is nothing like the Shimano products (Curado, Chronarch), so I understand why you would rather have one of those.

Get a Berkley Lightning Shock Rod. Tough as hell, and very good price. I own 4 of them, but for baitcasters, they hold up just as good as rods that are over $100.

Weight savings, good looks, some things that are true. To me the feel of the rod is a lot better. The way that the main handle is sloped on most of them allows for a better grip/feel for me.

More SFL people, welcome!

Depends on what your flipping and pitching into. Down here in the Glades we need a 65# or better braided line to get the job done, so no it isnt. Now, if you are in more open, not so heavy of cover and using a sy 12# fluoro style, then yes. I use mine with 12# YoZuri, and mainly fish texas style rigged lizards/worms/frogs with a 1/32 oz bullet weight to a 3/0 widegap hook. If I wanted to start pitching a jig, I would just tie it on, but it wont be into extremely heavy cover. You would be surprised how much b@//$ this little bad boy has. And there is plenty of room for bearing and drag upgrade, just ask DVT!

That 4 way amputee needs some legs to give it some action! haha

Proven today, Im gonna have to go with my go to bait. 6" Zomm Lizard in Watermelonseed red

I couldnt picture using anything but the Curado 50E. Check ebay, they are always for sale.

If you had to give up all your reels but 1, which one would you keep, and why. I would keep my Curado 50E. Its soo smooth and versitile, and its just soo much fun to fish. Feels great in the hand, and never fails me.

ended up not making it

few more

BassHunter and I went out on the C-14 today for some fishing. I guess with the Snakehead Roundup yesterday, they took care of those. As for the Bass fishing, that was pretty good. Caught plenty of fish, a few that were worthy of a photo. Blasted these fish with the Zoom Lizards. Dodged a few storms along the way, gave the 50E a good workout, it was a good day.

yes, its like a fluoro

Yeah, that pretty much says it all.

My wife's grandfather always uses these things every time we go out. He does pretty good with them. He Riggs them Texas style with a 4/0 wide gap and a 1/32 oz bullet weight.

When you go back to Bass Pro, get some of that 12# YoZuri line. Will make a huge difference.

Got to come down to south springs, where all the canals off shoot from the c-14.

I always just make sure the sticker thats on the spool is facing up. I dont use a spooling station, to me its a waste of money. Just lay the spool on the floor run the line throught the first guide before the reel, and use your fingers to apply a little bit of resistance while reeling the line on the spool.

Where did you go?

Had a blast buddy. We shal do it again sometime soon.

Its deemed snakehead day! They better run for their lives. FYI, the best time to hunt them is in the afternoon, they are more active then.

I am the avid lizard fisher. They are my favorite bait to fish. I am the most productive when it comes to fishing with these things. I T rig them with a 1/8 oz bullet weight on my 20# Yozuri set up, and also a 1/32 oz bullet weight for my 12# light style fishing. Both ways makes for a different action. Either way, you can fish the bottom, middle, or top of the water with these things. I personally use the Zoom products. Down here in the Everglades, my most productive color near the surface is a watermelon seed with either chartreuse or red flake. Going deep, or on an overcast day, I may switch to a junebug, or candy color. I have tried the Rage brand, but for the extra money, I dont catch anymore fish. Zoom products are the brand I mostly use for $ and performance. Also try the ultra-vibe speed worms, they are a producer too. Good luck!
