Here's my 2 cent .... A old school ugly stick vs something like a dobyns rod. Both can land fish but one is lighter and more sensitive. It's all about what you can appreciate.

When bass get finicky I've personally like throwing my finesse style bait on my ultralight rod on power pro 8lb test with a 4lb test p line 100% fluorocarbon leader or on the 5lb test FC sniper. Biggest I've caught was a 4lb 09oz spotty on a lake fork live baby shad on the dropshot on a size 4 vmc dropshot hook on a 1/8oz gremlin sinker. I personally like smaller bait(2inch-4inch) and hook(size 1- size 4)when fishing 4-5lb test line. But the down fall to this is like what everyone else say ... Line abrasion ...

What rod is that?

So I got the 6ft medium heavy Team Daiwa T Casting rod and notice that the rod tip was too stiff to my liking is all extra fast taper "tip stiff" or is it cause the rod is short? Also what's a good technique to use for this rod since its a extra fast taper with a stiff tip?

I remember my mega strike attractant being a clear color paste but now the paste is brown? Is it normal or did the attractant expire?

When I'm in doubt I dropshot.

Creature baits ... Crank bait .... Frog ...

The area I fish at is quite shallow about 1-2ft water because I fish at the bank so is it required to fish the flick shake with the whacky jig head? Or I can fish the bait weightless? I know I won't have the casting distance when fishing em weightless what's the best option I have? Whacky jig head, dropshot, split shot?

I use owner mosquito hook in size 1 using roboworm and zoom finesse work and hook up 1-4 lber with no problem I only have little trouble with setting the hook when using the beefy senko in 5-6inch

Twh have the daiwa t3 ballistic on sale for 109.88 worth the money in my opinion because regular price was 249.95 - 269-95

Lol same here I might get the 8.1.1 and the 6.3.1 I heard 8.1.1 got a better handle but we'll see I guess ima lock it up even though I don't need another 6.3.1

TW have them on sale for 56% - 59%. At the price of 109.88 is it the best reel for the buck? Considering it is a $200 reel.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Anybody ever order from overstockbait? I find some nice stuff for a nice price but don't know if they are a legit site or a scam. Lmk if anybody have experience from them. Thanks!
