Ardent C force and bolt reels
+1 Bass Nation as a whole is now sponsored by them. Me individually NOOOOO. RW I'm not pimpin anyone. Searching through the forums I've only seen reviews and opinions on the baitcasters nothing on the spinning reels so that's why I'm asking.

Shimano metanium xg
12# FC here Sniper or Assassin on mine. However for Footballs I'd probably use Shooter and go up in test if there's zebra mussels. Great reel I love mine. However the palming takes some getting used to body of reel is longer than all my other Shimanos.

Irod genesis ll jr swimbait and dobyns fury 795
Both are great rods for the money IMO. I would look at the type of reel seat and type of hook keeper that's on each they're very different. Both rods are going to balance fairly well with a reel on it and both blanks are good quality. Good luck!

Ardent C force and bolt reels
Hey all hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! "-------------edited for political correctness smh-----------". and I want to try them out. I'm all set on casting reels but could use a spinning reel or 2 for random light weight application. Have any of you tried the C force or the Bolt models and what are your thoughts? Also do the internals have a worm gear or oscillating wheel gear thing? Can't seem to find schematics online. Carbon drags and high bearing counts for a relatively decent prices seems good.... thanks!

Gear Storage?
I've been using the thin model planos in the 3600 size. One for each bait type. For example holds about 80 senkos. 36-48 Keitechs. 36-48 tubes etc etc

Who Makes The Best Hooks
They're all good in they're own way. I love the mustad trebles. Owner Ewg hooks. Trokar flipping and drop shot hooks.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
it was Basspro. I called them they said they'll open a investigation. Paid with a Gift Card so idk what will happen. Post office confirmed it was delivered. 2 days after the Metanium was left on my porch lol 2 days earlier the scumbag would have had a way more expensive box. Hate thieves!

Getting A New Jig Only Reel
Yeah idk how I feel about the top section where I normally rest my index finger. It's feels like a 90 degree angle like the Tats. Plus it's farther up. I can palm them fine on standard reel seats but not on the *** reel seat my pinky ends up above the trigger, no Bueno. Stupid fingers are short.... It feels good on my Dobyns.. idk the standard Fuji seat? Really awkward on the Irod skeletal seat. Pack bay minima I think. Going out Sunday gonna try both shallow 3/8oz jigs on a point and then heave out some 1/2-3/4oz footballs to some 20-30ft structure. See if I can get a bite going. May throw a spinnerbait too. That will give me a good idea on how I feel about the handle before I decide to switch it out.

Lipless Crank And Weight Determination
Size doesn't matter to me between them I make a determination which to throw between rattles or a one knocker which ever the fish want at the time of use.

Gear Ratio
Faster the reel faster you can pick up slack line or get a fish away from cover. That's the idea. The inches per turn of the handle is what you can go by to determine what's right for you. One companies 7:1 might be another's 8:1 in the IPT department. It's personal preference, there's no right or wrong ratio.

Getting A New Jig Only Reel
It's here! Lightning fast shipping wow. Gotta be honest I don't like how it palms at all. My stupid short fingers. It looked like it would palm like the E series Chronarchs. Can't wait to fish it either way. Edit* This handle is crazy long. I was under the assumption the longer one in Japan was equal to the standard size here. I was way off lol
