Sunline Breakdown
They do have specific properties. Reaction is more stretch and manageable with small diameter. Perfect for cranks. Flipping fc is similar to shooter but has portions dyed chartreuese to aid line watching. Structure fc has very low stretch and abrasion resistance as its designed for dragging offshore structure and shell beds.

Tatula CT and CT Type-R
Just got mine yesterday and its slightly smaller than the first tatula model. Not a real big difference.

Swimjig Trailer
Gambler little ez. Comes in great colors and has good action and is very durable. Not to mention they come with good garlic scent. Have had more success with swimjigs when i switched to them from keitechs.

PLine CX
Ive used cx a lot. Pretty sensitive and low stretch with good abrasion resistance. Ive had no managability issues. You can drop a line size as their pound test is overrated.

Offer a day out on the water and maybe youll make a new fishing partner. I wouldn't accept cash for returning someones property

First Swimbait Bass
Thanks guys! I felt like Bill Lowen for a minute, I would have stripped if it wasnt dumping the rain. Glide baits are much more fun to throw and fish than I expected. Very visual and suspensful. Also the types of retrieves you can use mixes it up.

First Swimbait Bass
Went out yesterday in the pouring rain to fish a grassy pond with an swaver 168. Ive never caught anything with a swim/glidebait before. Water temps were 52 warming to 53. This was my first, hit while on the pause. Later I had another swipe and miss. Then this happened I glided the trout to the side and then she smashed it...i saw my swaver take off down and to the side. Almost ties my p.b. at 5 pound 9 ounce Wind picked up and I couldn't hold my yak and fish the swaver so i switched to a spro john and killed a bunch of one pounders on the pause.

3" Stick Worm as a jerk bait
Ive seen guys in my club do it and catch fish. One guy has it on deck as a follow up to his flukes. Bass will sometimes swipe and bail on a fluke,but a smaller more subtle 3 inch stickworm will get bit when fished like a soft jerkbait

Daiwa Cronos
Hows the reel seat? How does it compare to tatula reel seat?

Daiwa Cronos
Did anyone see this rod coming? Im interested in picking one up but there arent many available models. Has anyone experienced one yet? Daiwa said this will be the exclusive rod of Randy Howell this year but he told his gopro he was using steez xt at classic.
