Lucky Craft Fat CB BDS 2?
yes. Lucky Craft is/has discontinued a lot of products. Very weird company. The Wake baits I love are as well.

Best Chatterbait? And what is the best value Chatterbait?
The Phenix 3 got discontinued as of September 30th. If you like them, you better buy the rest of them off of T W. I loaded up on D&M Piranha's when they got discontinued. Have yet to find anything I currently like. I guess the Project Z would be what I purchase when I run out of D&M.

Mono Or Fluoro Or Copoly Or Braid For Swimbaits?
I have used monos, copolys, and braids and I have stuck to 80lb braid. Never had a cast off in over 2 years with braid. Had many castoffs with mono and copoly. Not using braid with swimbaits is a myth.

Inexpensive Whopper Plopper 130 Rod ?
I toss mine on a swimbait rod. Check out the Dobyns Fury 795SB. Right around $110 new and great for the WP130

What brand Tungsten do you use?

Whopper Plopper Hooks
in my opinion the hooks suck. I swap them all to ST-36s. I have even seen split rings break too.

Whopper Plopper Question
Did you change hooks out? Most should start immediately. I figured if you switched to a heavier hook, it would weigh it down more.

Dobyns Spinning Rods
I have a DX703SF I do everything with. But I don't like too light of a rod. Rod is excellent.

Really Liking The New Citica But
It is very annoying. I could not get the Curado to stop screeching no matter what I did so I sold it.

Tatula Grooving
They will not send you the upgraded T-Wing. For warranty, you have to send the entire reel into to Daiwa. I know cause I tried to get them to send me the T-Wings. lol I did not ever have line break cause of the groove which was nice, but it sill left me worried about what would happen if big mama got hooked.
-
Tatula Grooving
The HD and Zillion and other newer model reels have the thinner T-Wing. Only the Tatula has the wider one, so obviously they changed it to help prevent the grooving. They told me it could be from pressure or from overspooling, which is strange responses. I have combinations of mono, fluoro, and braid so no idea which ones did it.

Tatula Grooving
I had grooving on 5 out of my 7 Tatulas. Contacted Daiwa and sent them in for repair. They replaced the T-Wings on all of my 7 Tatulas to the thinner newer T-Wing. Didn't have any communication with them to know why or what caused it. They sent them back 3 days later so no complaints from me.

Squarebills: Rattles Or Not
there is a reason most JDM squarebills and the KVDs are silent. You don't need rattles in them, even in murky water. If you are fishing a crankbait correctly, they know where it is.
