Powell Rods
Recently got the Endurance 724... maybe 725. Im not home dont remember off hand. Anyhow, got it for DT10s and 6XDs and it handles great. My first powell by the way. Its full composite with a mod-fast taper. It actually works great as a spook/trap rod as well. Grabbed it for $130 from Fish Ranger.

Caution! Siebert Jigs
Bump just got my first dredge headed Siebert jig. Incredible quality yet again! Not sure how exactly your presentation is supposed to be with it tho ? hopping it I'm assuming. Looks like it can work grass pretty good.

Lowest # Test On A Bc
Lmao I'm making this much more difficult than it needs to be huh. Lol Actually my mistake. I'm thinking because the spool of braid is 150 yards, thought it was gonna be terrible because the limited amount of line on a deep spool. Forgot to consider backing. Obviously full spool will pull in larger amounts of line than a spool 1/3 way full.

20# says 6# diameter. What's the inches per turn gonna be. I don't want to reel in 12" per crank either. Lol

Swim Jig Help
Have the best luck with 3.8" Keitech fat paddle tail as trailer, same on chatter baits. Usually throw either white/chartreuse or black/blue swim jig.

Lowest # Test On A Bc
Hmmm. This is why I wanted a second spinning set up because my head is spinning now lol Thanks all for the help! I think I'm gonna try the 20# braid on the type r and tie on a 10# leader.

My Co-Angler Rod/reel Arsenal
Most bass boats have the rod storage for co angler along the side of the passenger seat, use it and stay organized so you don't tick off the boater!

Fluke Fishing
I know someone else that does this. Remover half a inch off the head and jig it. Flukes and keitech fluke style bait as well. Works for him. I've been unsuccessful like that with the flukes. Any how I use the gamakatsu weighted 4/0 hook. So to the OP to answer your question, I have no answer lol

Backstabber Lures
Action is good, paint seems to hold up. However have yet to catch a fish on them. Did have a few follows. I'm sure they work just not the days I've thrown them.

Caution! Siebert Jigs
I say caution because after you're first purchase you're gonna feel like a sucker for ever buying anyone else's, paying more for less quality! Also your wife may suspect something's up when the usps boxes start arriving weekly! Excellent job Siebert! Skirts spread evenly, paint looks excellent, no paint in eyelets, hooks A++++

Lowest # Test On A Bc
Ok so riddle me this. I want to throw shaky heads. So was considering grabbing a whole combo under 7' m/f with real. Spinning. Then it dawned on me my Tatula R and 6'7 *** m/f handles light stuff great. (I've been using it Fluke/jerk baits) setting up for next outing I see the spool is half empty so back yard cast brought me about 5 cranks from knot. So went in basement and all my 10# FC spools are not enough for a full spool (what a waste). Anyhow have these spools of 20# braid and since I am casting light weight stuff figured it might work without dropping $20 on a spool of FC.... So with what you guys said I may be fine casting but after a fish or 2 I will see it digging in? Also any chance any of you guys throw shaky head on mono cause I have tons of that readily accessible. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Lowest # Test On A Bc
I've never went lower than 10# until I got Senshi which 10# feels like its 4# of other brands. Any how I have 20# braid I thought would be good, then reading it says 6# diameter. Only have 1 reel with braid and it's 40#. If someone can school me on lowest I can go that would be great!

Shaky Head Rig Opinion
By the way just ordered more 1/8 and 3/16ths from Siebert! #Win

Shaky Head Rig Opinion
This probably is condition specific but do you guys A - T rig it bring the hook through and put the tip back in. or B - Bring the tip through then back it off a bit so its not exposed. I tried T rigging it and missed a few hooksets. Tried B and either lost the bait or it came through and hung up. Only tried it with a few different worms. I'm sure the different plastic consistencies make a difference.

St. Croix Avid X
I don't mind split grips but hate fore grips with a passion. May have to check one of these out when released! If they do a inshore model, consider sold! All my salt rods are St Croix

Anyone Score?
Some jigs with Siebert and some random stuff at TW with the 15% off. Nothing to run home about.

Citica 201G6
stopped to pick it up tonight and they only had the casting rods in stock no spinning. Wanted the 7'1" m/f. Had the store manager search the system he couldn't find one in the north east or through corporate. Sucks
