Yep, I have a few of Monsoor's designed swim jigs w/ lite owner hooks.. Love them.

Avid hands down

MH/ MF is the way I would go, I can throw easier, it has a bit more power on both ends of the rod.. I have also thrown open hook tube rigs on it.

Yea, what's up with the 2nd round? Saros, up to 2500

I use Red label # 20.. It's fine in soft cover, if rock fishing, you would be better served with a harder FC line...

A 7' MH/ Mod/Fast action is a very good choice for what you want to fish with, both bait size & cover type.

Remember Bill Dance's chirping Jig? I love Ole Bill, but that jig just cracked me up! I believe it was fairly high too.. Oh well.

On bearing shields that are stainless, those cannot be reinstalled, or can they?

Thanks Tom, a long time mystery for me was why my very first Fuego would not cast, zero, zilch, notta.. I just swapped it out... The next 3 were incredible reels... Interesting...

Ravens @ Steelers, what a street brawl! Harrison played like he's 27. Love when 2 teams leave it all on the field, great game.

Spinning or Baitcast.... Yes you bet!

I see that I'm as highly skilled as aavery2, I only tear them on hard Hooksets, never on casting.

Senko or a 4" powerbait worm of some sort..

Reel looks immaculate. Upgrades are sweet. Nice work, what's the age on this reel?

Which rod action? What do you want the new combo to do? This will get you more useful feed back.

That spring sticking out like that does look suspicious.

Hmm, all my shimanos are made in Japan or Malay, which is Not Korea, Korea is over 4,000 km away.. Shimano has a state of the art facility in Malay, as well as Japan, the work out of Malay is very good, however they employ men there in Malay, as far as wages, I couldn't say.. My question is what reels can you supertune and what reel company do you use?

Welcome to the forums. Nice pic!

Saros, Direct Drive, X-ship, Rapid fire Drag, I like it especially in smaller sizes.

Lol, I'm playing, sorta... Aluminum or magnesium frame is non negotiable Imo.. Probably at least a 5 bearing count reel.. I like centrifugal braking, magnetics are fine too. I think it really does boil down to a budget though.. There are quite a bit of difference in reel company's.. What's your budget or are you just seeking general information? I have used both Shimano & Daiwa. Are we talking baitcasters or spinning?

One that says Shimano!

Lol, I can't tell on females, so you're right. It's anecdotal, from my experience only.

Geez...

Geez..
