Give the zoom fluke stick a look over Bps carries them also a good working stick is the TriggerX they have a pretty darn good action, but they got a funk about them... Some kinda fish urine or something...

I know, on X , but I thought it looked croix ( surf ) anyhow nice rig.

That's a fine design who is the maker?

I modify mine the same way Zell does, it's a little work and well worth it i don't keep those rigid hangers!

dam0007, I know where you're coming from, I also use this rod in salt, as well, on bigger harder running fish, I can pump that rod properly with that foregrip ... St. Croix stresses about grabbing a rod by the blank with you're hand/ fingers , Gary Loomis also says there's nothing harder on a rod, I don't fully understand it but I have broke one rod in 30 years by following certain guidelines.

My advice is go to urgent care or you're Doctor or even the E.R. That's (105) quite high and you could have Need of a antibiotic or more, better to seek professional help than asking us ole fisherman what to drink!!!! I mean do,

Have you tried Zooms trick stick ?

Nice fish ! Thanks for posting!

Another thing that kinda gripes me is on 3" 4" 5" all same price... 3" should get 15 they are all same price... Then 6" you get less but pay more, I am about done with the senko. Senko= Bankrupt No...I Like them but gotta find a better cheaper bait!

The quality on the laminated ones are really bad too here lately and for 8$ a bag they better be perfect....

The torque I was referring to was at a flipping pitch hard set,, that's when I feel some torque/ slight rollover... Nothing to do with fighting fish at least not bass fish. When I fish for Ohio river cats that we catch many over a hundred pounds, it's just like salt work reel down/ pull/ reel down pull but you don't usually do that with bass on baitcaster. Lite line spinning, deeper water yea, just not typical bass fishing

You didn't hurt it by casting, that's a warranty claim right there!

I like a cork fore grip, even more when it has function this is on a heavy loomis fore grip is over 3" I can grip the rod and grab a net.. Without risking a rod break

Fry up the senkos and see how they do

Incredible .... Ah! But one is a yum dinger or is it a big bite hummm, nice photos! You did that fish a favor...

Flooded rivers... Flowing to 90 degree turns Flooded as in old river channels dammed up for reservoir impoundment purposes a current change happens plus a 6 ft depth change @ the 90 bottom is 23, shelf at 17 thermocline is 17 Humm,, I know what I wanna say but I don't think it reads right

Nuffsaid did u measure anything or cast any of these? It is hard to discern what I am seeing or what I am suppose to see, one muddy looking shot appears to be toes? Not sure, describe or provide a narrative w/ pics

He's figuring that out about now, I'd say.... That's a hard lesson to learn

Yes, Largemouth Bass

What reel is it? Was it hard to take off? When you started it back on was it harder to start or same,

Pacers done? Maybe, I think another near full season can help them, they had some awesome games this year, gotta dig deep if they wanna win though, next season is their chance.

Idk.. But 15 years? That's still quite a bit of time, surely there will be some fabulous change in rod blanks by then, then again, how good is good enough ? Avid 3 is good but if it ain't built right it won't matter, the USA avid is better than import, idk why, but it is, my opinion only

I always start at the bench, then to the ground simulation of sitting at the base of a tree... Both for slug, and for turkey... I would always spend a fair amount of time, varying my distance and counting my shot on target in the kill zone and close to.... A pattern is good to know, never hunted deer with 00 so... Shooting a slug/ scope combo... I aim the same if in a tree or on the ground... I would always shoot standing as well it's punishing shooting 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 magnums but when you put the time and work in, like most things... You're going to know and be ready!

I think most would agree with Snookalot, my hooksets are more natural and fluid with spinning than baitcasting, although I don't notice that torque on moving baits like I do say, pitching or flipping, as it pertains to baitcasters used in bass fishing, of course lots of folks use the same gear inshore, the heaviest bass/ whatever reels that I use are a shimano 300 and cte200gt's at 10.2 oz apiece wow, lotta complaints about the weight from folks, but you don't hear those complaints nearly as loud with a spinning reel at those weights, I use the baitcaster 75 % of the time, but I sure love spinning too.

That's a great price, red label around here has jumped to 14$
