I'll second this. I use the Zoom, Yum, and various Strike King also, I just use weighted Wacky hooks with these. Brian.

Take a look at Berkley X-9. I have 15 and 20 on my Stradics. It's crazy long. Brian.

Absolutely correct. They might end it before you even start. Our local F&G, which is Private, can't do anything with the lake without the State signing off on it. Brian.

Something is seriously wrong in the setup of your reel or it's defective. I own 5 DC Reels, 2- Scorpion 150's, 2-Scorpion 100's and a Calcutta. They all can bomb. My Bud has a slew of Curado 150 DC's, his all can bomb. Brian.

5-2 over emerging grass on a Lipless. Really difficult to find spots to fish at the local F&G, trout guys everywhere. Brian.

It was specifically designed to use in conjunction with Forward Facing Sonar. Brian.

I had 2 boats, jet and std.. She would accompany me, sit in her beach chair on the back, read and relax. I'd somehow become the most popular person on the water, with the amount of boats hanging around. Second thought, I guess it could have been her bikini. Brian.

Thank God my Wife shows zero interest in fishing. She's gorgeous, built like a centerfold, and I love her beyond words, I do not want to fish with her. Brian.

Was able to grab a few LC Gunfish for $5 each and some new ARK Squarebills for $4 each. Ollies gets some good stuff. Brian.

I have 2 Hammers I fish Jigs and T-Rigs on. For me, the sensitivity is amazing. Not amazing for the cost of them, just amazing period. My Bud uses a Lancer Pro MH/Fast that he comments constantly on what he can feel with it. He got 2 of them for a $100. Brian.

I use a Perfect Pitch, Falcon Amistad, and a Zodias Hvy., they all work well. I mainly use a 7'5" Zodias Hvy with a Scorpion DC std. gear, spooled with .015 Fluoro. It's the Bee's. Brian.

Same. Brian.

Condolences A-Jay. Brian.

ALX OXIM Agent, I find it to be about perfect for the Mini Max. Softer tip, not spongy, good back bone, and sensitive. Brian.

I personally much prefer a fast action rod for those 3 baits. Brian.

Ark Lancer Pro 7'2" MH/Fast. They fish the upper end of MH, sensitive way beyond their price point. Brian.

How about them battling Bucs!!!! They're usually mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by now. Brian.....I suffer the Bucs every season.

They accept factory and aftermarket knobs. The axles are to factory specs for Daiwa and Shimano respectively. Brian.

I have the std. Tatula 80. That one is a std. knob bearing, 4x7x2.5. Brian.

Weihai Fishing Tackle Store. Have fun, Brian.

Check out the Ray's DIY Carbon Fiber Handles, I have them on 20+ reels. It's nice that you can select length, retainer, nut, retainer screw, and post colors, they also come in black or silver CF. <$30 SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR. Brian.

About 2 weeks, maybe less. They ain't Digitaka, Hedgehog Studios fast, but not horrible. Brian.

I also would choose Expride, even though I don't like cork. Brian.

It's a Shimano 70 MGL. The 150 MGL is about the same price. The Scorpion 70 predecessor is $135+-. Brian.

AliExpress, <$160 to your door. Brian.
