Might have to try the clip on again thanks for the information in the comments.

I am curious if any one has used these rods recently and if so what did you think? Also, which ones did you use

How is lews customer service if any one has used them ? I bought a Super duty wide spool for big swim baits and similar items as that and it grinds so bad. My cast are limited regardless of weight on the reel. first time I fished with it I immediately just placed it down and went to a different reel. Just curious if any one has had bad experience with them ? I am mostly a backyard fisherman I go when I can and whatever is I keep depending on the pond is either tossed or kept. Like most of you guys I work hard for my money I dont sit at home on the couch cashing in on unemployment.

we use FC Sniper. I am a backyard fisherman and dont have much time to go but still like to have good stuff when I go. I noticed as the poundage increases on the line I noticed the memory picks up on the line. it has been a while since I have used shooter.

guess im ignorant...part of being young i guess lol

interesting to see how many like mono for cranking. I have always used fluro as it allows the crank to get down deeper and i felt like i got better hook sets

i personally like 5.1 reels my hands hurt very hard after use with anything harder

Thank you guys for the responses. I have a revo winch and a veritas winch cranking rod so I believe I am covered in that area

This got me to thinking what about two revo x I can get them for around $80 then pair with Duckett invite rods which run me about $100 ? Or something similar

What reel would you guys recommend ? I am thinking about a 7.1:1 reel minimum. I plan to do use jigs, big 12" worms, and even carolina rigs on this set up until I can afford more setups. This will be used probably more then anything. to give you guys an idea on budget for reel I would say $250 retail Also need a rod suggestion, I can get dobyns shimano and a few others as I am in the industry. Budget wise on this would be as $250 as well. I really dont have any reels or rods I sold all my stuff and moved and now back in it. Thanks for the suggestion

big game gets my vote been using it for a whle

I plan to run 20 # test but what do you prefer ? I plan to use jigs, creature style baits, and all around
