  1. I have more confidence with rage chunk. The added length doesn't do much for me.
  2. Has anyone got their hands on these yet? Been out a couple months. Little disappointed in lack of options but it's first quarter of sales. Need a MH and theirs are xfast and I want fast...However my team Daiwa t was xfast and fished like a true fast.
  3. Doesn't help too much. Rattles are better subsurface. Noise has difficulty breaking water surface
  4. Locating fish, punching, jig fishing, crankbaiting have all improved tremendously. Cranking use to be my biggest weakness, now its my strength.
  5. Thanks bud, if I get the time I may check it out.
  6. I have recoils on my ***...no issues and I love them.
  7. Anyone use these? What's the verdict?
  8. My father has a motorguide bulldog 54# and we recently acquired an older bass tracker with a motorguide tracker 37#. In a slight breeze 3rd is required and a stiff breeze 5th my keep you in one spot...1 is basically off. Is there a way to convert the bulldog to the bow mount? It is long enough, I just haven't had opportunity to look at it.
  9. How would the owner not realize his guides were destroyed and murdering his line? Wow
  10. Stick to cheap cranks for shore fishing...much easier to lose them from shore so buy something you arent afraid to throw in a jungle and never get back. Go for something that runs at a medium depth so you can dig up bottom and get in strike zone on a long cast.
  11. Field and Stream opened here. One of the opening days I just got there and was browsing when an employee came up and asked if I needed help...I said No I'm good. Girlfriend was with me and apparently my resting mean face and deep tone spooked him because he looked at her and mouthed sorry and backed away in in a joking manner. Didn't even realize I did anything wrong! Then later I was " considerably nicer" to another employee which prompted my girl to tell me about the previous encounter. I also noticed in their fancy reel wall that the $600 steez was actually a Regular tatula...which I immediately notified staffing and watched them fix it. As for people working the reel display being the most knowledgable...I approached one and asked about the *** reels that had just been released...she had zero clue and I just shrugged it off.

    The up sized 4/0 helped last saturday. Caught some weeds but I could shake em loose and keep going.
  13. Well...had a good outing Saturday but lost a combo due to negligence. It was a daiwa team t 7' MH xfast action. It fished more like a fast. Had a 7:1 lexa paired. I want a replacement MH but not sure if I should go tatula or team s. Tatula has a fast action 6'10" which might be good for swimjigs, soft plastics, swing heads. Or they have a longer MH xfast. I already have a 7'3" 13 *** xfast that I use for pitching and punching and sometimes frogs. I'd also like a 7'4" team daiwa s rated to 2 oz for sanother sitembaits and punching that has a fast action. This would probably overpower and be too long for placing vibrating jigs on target. The 6'10" tatula is hard to find for good price while longer tatulas can be had for less than msrp. As for reel. Should I move my 7:1 tatula to new rod and get a 8:1 type r for *** or get a 6:1 tatula for new rod. Thanks for any discourse

    I just up sized my spro hooks from 3/0 to 4/0. Looks much better and should improve hookups greatly
  15. Spro Their entire frog lineup is exceptional and come in a variety of colors.
  16. I broke down and found a pop max and pony gabot on ebay.
  17. Drag it till you feel a good rock and jiggle it a bit. Looks like a craw trying to back into a hole for defense. Then hop it over and repeat.
  18. My girlfriend mentioned that she spent so much money on a makeup website that she is now a preferred customer and gets early access and exclusive events. Wish TW had this
  19. I'll give you 10 for it. To be honest this should be moved to general discussion. This could turn into an auction which isn't allowed.
  20. Looking at getting one for shakey/drop shot. All kinds of info on the baitcasting rod but not spinning. I've held a few and they are light and balance well.
  21. Megabass pop max That's about all I got scheduled
  22. I buy spro. On the moderately expensive side but they are durable and come with good hooks I don't have to replace
