Hey everyone, I would like to use these two but fish in a lot of leadfree water. Anyone have any suggestions for leadfree options? Thanks.

Hey everyone, Was wondering what people are using. I have heard frabil trout nets are good size for a kayak. Looking for some suggestions as it is a little difficult judging sizes online. Thank you.

Thank you for all the responses. I think the consensus is under 7ft, and mf or mh depending on preference. What are your thoughts on mono vs copolymer for this? Big difference or no?

Hey everyone, Had a quick question on a recommendation for a top water set up for cigar type baits and poppers. I currently have a frog setup and am looking for your thoughts on one for spooks/poppers. Action, length, baitcast/spinning, line type? Thank you.

Thank you Sir for the clarification. I wasn't exactly sure what terminology to use to get my question asked. Thanks for the answers everyone. I appreciate it.

Hey guys/gals, I like using Fluorocarbon and want to re-spool a few setups but don't want to break the bank. My questions is when using a cheap mono or co-polymer for backing, should I be paying attention to line diameter to tie the lines together or pound test, or neither? For example, if I have a T-Rig set up that I have 12# fluorocarbon top shot, should I match that up with a 12# backing or a line with similar diameter? Also any advice on what knot you folks use would be helpful as well. I have used a Modified Albright knot on a braid setup/co-poly setup and it seems to have worked well.

Ok thanks for the advice guys.

Quick question, I have a Curado 200G7 that I want to use on my jig rod. Reading the line capacity suggestions on the box it says: Mono Line Capacity: 8/180, 10/155, 14/110. I was thinking about putting 15# Fluro on. Is that not recommended on this reel? If I wanted 15# Yo Zuri or Izorline for a t-rig setup instead is that not recommended either? Thanks.

Seems like we have a lot of New Englanders on this thread. You guys also seem to be experienced jig fisherman as you have already made adjustments for non-lead. Any advice for me starting out this year with jigs regarding type? From what I read arky and brush jigs are fairly versatile. Maybe I should start with them? Thanks for all the into on this thread.

Thank you for all your feedback. I appreciate it.

A-Jay, that thing looks awesome! Thanks.

Hey everyone, I want to get into jigs this year however my state passed a non-lead sinker/jig law. I was hoping to get some thoughts on what jigs folks are using that are in similar situations. I was thinking about reaching out to Siebert. Any advice on what head I should learn to use( arky, football, brush, etc) would help as well. I would like to get comfortable with 1 or 2 first. Thanks everyone.

Is the Spring flyer for in store only or online as well?

Thanks for all the feedback. My 6.5 has an IPT of 27 where as the 7.1 has 29. Thank you for the advice Avery. I think I am going to run with rippin-lips suggestions for setups and make sure the reels balance on the rods before I pick them. Thanks again guys.

This year I would like to have 3 baitcast setups frog, jig, t-rig. If you had 3 reels one 6.5 and the other two were 7.1, what would you suggest for what application? I only have one rod so far which is a MH F. Thinking of getting another MH (t-rig or frog) and a H (jig)? Thank you for your help.
