Dobyns Fury / Rod power question
I believe the 703 is rated 1/4-3/4 and 704 at 1/4-1. 703 is more of a medium and 704 more like a MH

Levante flat sided special
I’d call TW and confirm you’ll still get it, I was under the impression the gen 1 Levante rods were limited to stock on hand. Otherwise, I haven’t fished your particular model but I bet you’ll like it. The Levante rods definitely don’t have the allure of higher end Megabass, but at the close out price you really can’t go wrong. Just be advised that the Levante rods can easily be a gateway in to the Megabass cult lol

2018 Diawa tatula 100 zero adjust
Yes, it is often over rated, but in some cases is still important.

2018 Diawa tatula 100 zero adjust
Thanks! For some reason I figured the honeycomb had less capacity, not sure which I’ll get now...

2018 Diawa tatula 100 zero adjust
Is there a difference in line capacity between the honeycomb and the solid one? Looking at the website it looks like it's the same, unless I'm reading it wrong?

Bigger baits....
My big fish thoughts in regards to lake/pond fishing for green bass, and I’m not far from Chicago often fishing southern Illinois 1. 4# and 9# fish will both eat “big” baits 2. Big soft swimmers in cooler months 3. Hard swimmers or chatterbaits in warmer months up until it gets too warm 4. In the dead of summer, a large t rigged worm or mag Shakeyhead is king 5. Jigs catch big bass all year long 6. Don’t get too hung up on the big bait=big fish thing. In some lakes, the big fish just don’t want a 10 oz glide bait 7. Experiment and see what works best for you, every lake is different 8.Don’t get discouraged if at first you don’t succeed

Ironic that right as the eBay sale starts the item I’ve been looking at is sold out.

Aftermarket bearings for casting reels ?
Before upgrading, I'd consider thoroughly cleaning and lightly lubing the stock bearings, I think you'll be happy with the results. Otherwise, ZPIs are excellent

Black Friday Purchases
Got a Major Craft NAS-F691M and several spools of line. Technically, the the rod is a gift though so I'll have to wait a few weeks to use it. Almost pulled the trigger on a new Dobyns too but was able to resist temptation

Saw the sale was on so I placed an order through TW then 20 minutes later realized I forgot to use my gift card! Guess another order might be coming up

Best Dobyns?
I know others disagree, but I feel the fury line performs almost identically when compared to the champ. QPR on the fury can’t be beat. All this said, I say go fury 704 or 734

Googan Plastics
I'm sure the baits will catch fish and I honestly do find some of these YouTube "personalities" entertaining. That said, nothing about these baits makes me think they are any better than what is already on the market, but good for those guys if they can make a few bucks
