Action wise I'm sure it will work fine.

I thought I misread it but is he saying the increased knot size spooks fish ? I gotta tap out ..

I've never experienced knot issues. I just use a palomar and wet it. I still remember the 1 fish I broke off on a hook set about 4 years ago. If someone told you that you have upsize the line to compensate for reduced knot strength they are 100% wrong.

I live where the wiggle wart and Rk crawler are a religion.As long as the water is warm enough for them to chase something they are a player. I've found that a less than a 45 degree cast to the bank is best and many times just keep the boat 10 feet or so off the bank and just grind it parallel. I like the hybrid hunter as well although it runs more like a squarebill than a diving bait. The ol' plug knocker comes in handy

I fished it last summer and was very happy with it. I don't know who makes it for them but it fishes like Invisx.

Back in my BFL days as a co angler the boater always gave me the compartment behind the passenger seat. Those plano bags that hold 4 or 5 3700's are more than enough plus the top zips open for all the plastics you would need.

I don't know about about the 15k in a boat part those kayak guys are pretty serious. Writing 5 paragraphs about something doesn't make you right. or the guy on Reddit or wherever you get your knowledge besides time on the water.

Do you have any data to support that last statement about mono ? I don't know anyone who fishes mono on crankbaits anymore , and I fish once in a while. I've fished YZH, Maxima,CXX, Mean green and on and on. Other than cost I see no advantage over flouro. If you want the the maximum depth out of a diving bait ,any line with a larger diameter and that floats ain't the answer.

Would anyone fish flouro on a crank bait rod if money were on the line ? I've been doing it for 10 years or so. I use Invisx or Tatsu 12 and 10 lb.

Every line with the exception of braid has some stretch.

You must fish a different kind of spinnerbait than I do.

I had some last year. They worked really well and fall with a worm or lizard is much flatter than a T-rig which I seldom throw anymore.

I haven't had any issues with any of mine, I have them on 2 Steeze also. I have heard of issues with the older AGS.

I've fishing a big glide that's made here locally, It ain't cheap in fact it's kinda crazy and probably grounds for divorce. But.. It's surprising the big fish that will show themselves and follow it. At least you know they are there even if they don't commit, I toss a senko or some kind of clean up bait in after them. Personally, I'd rather see that big one chase than catch a dozen shorts.

Next to Tatsu, Invisx is the best handling flouro I've used. I would highly doubt that the spool is bad either. If it breaks close to the knot it either got nicked on something or possibly burned when you cinched it down. Always wet the knot.

Really great rods. I have the Ehler AGS been impressed with it.

I threw them some back in the day . I personally never thought they had the same hunting action as a good running wart. We used to throw the standard wart on 6lb line to get them deeper as the fish pulled off the bank further. These days I would just buy a RK crawler

The lizard dragger was designed to be a c-rig rod and I used it for that and 1/2-5/8 oz football jigs for years. In the summer I used it to drag 'ol monsters. Overall a great rod. I have the Cara T7. I've been using a Steeze AGS BC2 for awhile and it balances fine but it's really not a fair comparison of course.

I've had one of each of the '24 series. I think the World class and Elite are really good. Maybe it was the ties to Pure fishing that kept them from selling. Fenwick was a part of bass fishing history much like Lew's but both are just a name to use for marketing now.

Of those choices, the Zodias.

Just my opinion but I'm kind of surprised that Shimano/Loomis has stayed with the Conquest. To my understanding it was never intended to be a more sensitive rod than NRX ( it Isn't in my hands) it was meant to have more torsional strength than NRX. Now that spiral x has been added to NRX+ I can't see the need for it.

Since your opinion drives the industry I'm sure Shimano/Loomis will start the redesign immediately.

Delivery guy: Can you sign for the package ma'am ? My wife : sure Delivery guy: what's in here anyway ? My wife : a fishing rod. Delivery guy: you only have to sign if the value is over $ 500. Who buys a $ 500 fishing rod ? my wife : my husband.

6:1 would be fine for both.
