What size hook would you recommend for a NEKO rig with a 6 inch stick worm? It seems my hook up ratio is not very good and I am new to NEKO rig fishing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Would it be then that if you were using the same size diameter line, you could expect a greater casting distance and faster rate of retrieve with a 3000 as compared to a 2500 spinning reel?

Is there an advantage of using a 30 size spinning reel over a size 20 for example?

Anyone use this reel? What do you think about it? Does it truly fish a fast as they say it does?

What is a good trailer (toad etc.) to use on a 3/8 oz. buzz bait single prop. Size and brand advice appreciated. This is new to me. Thanks.

What size do you use more often 3/8 oz. or 1/2 oz.? No docks to skip here in my area, just casting.

I am looking for a shakeyhead that weighs 5/16 oz. with a 3/0 EWG hook. Any ideas? I know I can get a 3/8 oz. size but would really prefer the 5/16. size with the 3/0 hook.

Would like to purchase a new unit with a 7-9 in. screen. Needs to have side scan, built in mapping, and GPS. Would like to keep it no more than $1000. Any advice or suggestions as to a model or brand available would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any product that exists that you can put on or apply to a metal blade bait to help make the finish more durable? Tired of seeing finish on expensive baits chip or ware of in just a short period of time, or is this something I just have to live with?

Anyone ever use the Molix Trago Vibe and if so what is you opinion of them?

I use a lot of blade baits in the fall and winter. Usually in a 1/2 oz. size and have used a few different brands. Does anybody have a preference as to brand or method used to fish them? How about colors?

What size whacky worm hook would you recommend for a 5 to 6 in. stick bait? 1/0 or perhaps 2/0? I have not fished whacky style but would to start. Also, what stick baits do you prefer?

I usually fish them from the back of a "small" bass boat. Due to back problems, I find the need to sit more than I would like to as I fish. I am only about 5 ft. 8in. tall.

What length rod works best for jerk baits?

Anyone use Sunline Shooter Defier Nylon Mono? Not the Armilo but the expensive stuff. What are your opinions of it, and what all can it be used for?
