Need A New Crankbait/spinnerbait/topwater Line
I have recently started having issues with my general use line, sensation. I have used this line for 5+ years with excellent results. It is really thin for its marked #rating and is extremely low stretch. Couple of years ago I read an article and at the time it was the lowest stretch mono/copolymer. It is also very strong for its rating. I have pulled up stumps with 12#. But recently and with several different boxes and sizes I have noticed that it seems to be breaking really easy. I get just the slightest nick and bam it breaks. I'm ready to move on and try something else. This will be mostly on cranks/ spinners/topwater. I want something that is low stretch....this is a must. Also would like something fairly abrasion resistance. What have u used that has worked? I know yo-zuri is going to be suggested immediately:) I will put it on the list to try if it fits criteria.

Determining Rod Preference
I have found that with certain reels too. I had a quantum smoke that was on a 7' foot veritas. Backlashed all the time and no casting distance at all. Kept reading how it was supposut to be quantums farthest casting reel. Yeah right thought. Then one day I got a wild hair and put the reel on a 6'6" mojo rod I had laying around.. WOW haven't had a single backlash since and can chunk a 3/8 swim jig 60-65 yards....seriously. It made a believer out of me.

Seaguar Invisx
I've been going through a bunch of flouro's and have invisix spooled up right now. This is exactly what I found about the line also. Great manageability, probably the best I have used but.....it's a little more stretchy, not quite as sensitive, and more abrasion prone.

What Lure Is Your Specialty?
Jig or t-rigged baby brush hog. Also I have been trying to learn to be a better crankbait fisherman and am starting to really love it.

Best Part About Your Job?
I am self employed with my dad and even though we butt heads almost daily it is pretty cool getting to spend time with the old man. Also being self employed I can pretty much take off and go fishing or hunting whenever I want.

Veritas Vs Mojo Bass
They had an issue with the early micros. The guides inserts were coming out but I think they have that fixed now. I have a micro with no issues. Regular version I have not heard of any problems.

Favortite Shaky Head Worm/plastics
I haven't had good luck with straight tailed worms. Have had better luck with small ribbon tail worms though. Fished a tournament with a guy last month that used a ultravibe speed craw on a shakey head and did pretty good.

Help Me Understand Jerk Baits And How To Use Them
Get a rogue, chrome side blue back in the suspending model. Use erratic twitches and let the fish dictate the speed. Generally the colder the slower between twitches. Also don't confine a jerkbait to shallow water. I have had great days next to a bluff in sixty feet of water with a jerkbait.

Veritas Vs Mojo Bass
I own both and would get a carbonlite over both of those.

Matching Equipment
I mix and match. I do seem to go towards pure fishing reels though be it whatever label they have on them. I don't think I have any two of the same rod. Bought them specific for whatever technique I use it for.
