you are referring to the "lake fork craw" which is identical to the "big bite baits craw worm". http://www.lftlures.com/catalog/lft-craws http://www.bigbitebaits.com/disccraw4.htm if you but the "tail" off either of the above craws, you have the same YUM crawbug. The advantage of the tail is that they are much easier to use as a texas rig in my experience. I like to cut almost all the and stuff a small section of worm inside the craw. Nice jig trailer.

65# PP

I personally think the 822 is the the most versatile. Power wise, it will probably be very close to your old rod. The tip, however,it will be faster. it isn't as fast as a st. croix xf though. the 822 syr 's tip is a tad faster than the 852 from what i've read but i can't say first hand. either one would fit the bill perfect. if you go the route of the 822, get the SYR, not the DSR.

Bantam described a "mag-medium" as a rod that is in between a medium and a medium heavy. I've only used the 822 a couple times and it fishes much closer to a M than a MH. i wouldn't have any issue saying it was a m powered rod.

7# straight fluoro

Just under 6.5#. black spro poppin' frog walked over a laydown in 2 feet of water. One of the craziest "slurps" i've ever seen. almost ripped the rod from my hand.

What product are you actually looking at? they don't make a "craw worm".

It's hard to believe but carolina's offensive line is worse than atlanta's...my good god. Philly isn't doing anything special. Carolina is just really bad at football.

i love these baits. i basically stole quite a few off somebody selling them a while ago. i use them around anything except chunk rock. i've caught a lot of 4-5# on them but they have never accounted for an entire weight.

For what you described, i'd like the 822 SYR.

If you wait for black friday, you can get a DX745 for 256$ from TW or BTD.

x2. Their craw tube is amazing.

Sunline shooter is the beat ive used followed by tatsu

5/16oz is the size i always start with.

Unless you dont' equate "gangsta" /w "ghetto", then what you're trying to defend is a real mind boggler. I mean...I seriously don't even know where to start. He's using hand gestures to get his point across to a certain demographic that will respond to something they see through media day in and day out that is driven towards them. I would hardly accuse him of attempting to "look like he's spitting a sweet rhyme." These "gangsta hand gestures" aren't limited to "gangstas" Open up your eyes (and clearly your mind.) They are seen all over media by different cultures, races, w/e. my god... I understand where you are going /w this and I don't believe you thought it through. You're clearly stereotyping which makes you come across as..well...If a rapper starts doing backflips are those "gangsta backflips"? If I see a guy walking down the street 4 times a week in a Steelers hat, is that now a "gangsta hat"? Would that make you gangsta now? See where I'm going /w this.

Comparing somebody's hand motions as "ghetto mumble jumble" is childish and small minded. So yes...grow up.

Wasn't aware clan meetings had wifi. grow up.

No

The 893 will take absolutely no practice throwing an unweighted texas rig'd senko.... Ask anybody who has actually used the rod.... I'm not sure how you cast a senko but I'm not one to baby casting a senko. I've never had one tear when casting it...

Philly should win without a concern next week. Carolina can't do anything w/o greg hardy and a banged up O line. Sanchez has the best thing going for him right now. Tons of great weapons on offense, an O line getting healthier, and chip kelly. If you take Foles out of this system, he's just another indecisive idiot(which he proves to be just about every week anyway. Without Maclin, it would be scary to watch him throw.). Sanchez SHOULD have success. He looked the same if not better than Foles and he probably hasn't got any reps /w the first team in 9+ weeks. The GB game in Lambo will be a wild one. Neither defense can stop much of anything.

You're giving Dallas too much credit /w 8-8. Winning next week and losing out is not beyond the realm of impossible. The Eagles just lost the player that's been holding them back. Sanchez FOR the WIN!!! Bring on the tighty whitie ads!

3/8 oz 1/2 chatterbait fished very very very slow on the bottom. You want to just barely feel yhe blads thump

I've read that some people use it for 1/2oz jigs. I can see using it for open water football jigs no problem up to 1/2oz. For reference, I use the 894 for 3/8 - 3/4 (more often than not, it's 1/2oz) jigs .w 20# fluoro pitching into wood/trees/brush/shoreline cover..basically anything that isn't slop. I should say that i tend to like a more powerful rod. The 894 has little to no deflection /w a 1/2 jig hanging from it but they just have this special tip that makes pitching effortless. for a rod that only weights 4.4 oz it was deceivingly powerful and i've never once felt under-gunned pulling bass from cover.The 895 has to be a beast of a rod...I almost thought I made a mistake buying it when i first pulled the rod out. if you do some reasearch (I'm sure you probably already know this) the 893 is considered "the" Nrx to own that can do a whole lot of everything. basically equivalent to the 4 power dobyns. As for the loomis rod powers, I'm still familiarizing myself /w them. The 894 would be in between the dx 745 and 746 but closer in power to the 746. the 893 is in between the 743 and 744 but closer to the 744. the 873 would be in between the nrx 893 and 894 but closer in power to the 894. With the right reel, you shouldn't have any issues throwing wacky rig senkos into cover(I've used the 1016 and it currently is being disgraced /w a 51E until I decide on a core or ci4+). The rod won't "bomb" them but it will get it out there any. It will throw a texas rig'd weightless senko quite a ways though. the DX743 does a better job at throwing both further but the 893 and it's tip seems to be a little easier to be more accurate. The DX743 is a SUPER fun rod to fish. It's plenty sensitive and I don't have an issue throwing a 3 power into cover. I throw my 1/4oz swim jigs on a 733 and am always throwing them in wood and lily pad fields and drag fish out. The NRX will definitely bring a smile to your face once you feel all those little details you never thought you were feeling though. If it's strictly a wacky rig rod, I wouldn't over look the 852. The 893 is probably the most versatile rod I've used...even more so than the st. croix sweeper which is saying something.

After I switched one of my DX745's for an NRX894 for my Jig rod, I was hooked. I then purchased the 893. The 893 is quite a bit more powerful than the DX742. i'd rate it between the DX743/744 but closer to the 744. I prefer throwing texas rig senokos on the DX744 because I'm throwing them usually in cover. Wacky rig I don't like the 744. i much prefer the 743. I've never used the 742 but many like it for senkos. Don't let that scare you away. the 893 has a "magical" tip. It is by all means the "ultimate senko rod". I have no issues throwing the 893 in semi cover. Heavy cover is a relative term but I'm not using it in slop obviously. I don't feel a crazy sensitive rod is necessary but once you use one you're hooked(especially for senokos). The 893 is noticeably more sensitive than the DX. you do definitely notice a lot more of the light pick up/inhale bites /w the NRX. It isn't to say the DX is a slouch. I've never been concerned whether I have a bite or not /w a DX. I still prefer Dobyns for most of my fishing. They are some really sensitive rods. The NRX just has that blank where you know exactly what your bait hits/bumps/falls through/touches whatever. Another rod to look at would be the NRX852. I (Think, not sure) Goose has the 852 though I'm not positive. any questions or if any of this didn't make sense(I'm rushing the end of this, my quesadillas are ready) just ask.
