Reel For Deep Crankin - Revo Winch Or Pro Qualifier?
I'm a shimano guy so take it for what you will. I've had a revo s and it too much fine tuning to get it perfect but it was a decent reel. The lews are nice too but I just couldn't get a good feel for it ended up selling it too.you can get a curado 200g5 for 99 from a lot of places now. Some old curados come up for sell on here occasionally that have the 3.8:1 ratio if you really want to slow it down

Anyone Drive A Diesel Truck..? I Need A Truck And I Want A Diesel,trying To Decide Which One
Shooting the state bowfishing tournament at guntersville last year had a few buddies up there and they come running back asking if someone could take them to get exhaust fluid for his f350 king ranch. Luckily they got back with it just in time because that had about a 100 trucks and boats blocked in

Top 5 Frog Lures
I throw a little bit of everything. I really prefer the popping style frog. 1Scum frog the old school popping frog the white one with the little scum circle on the belly. 2 & 3 bronze eye regular and popping style with the legs trimmed. 4 tournament scum frog 5 my absolute favorite it's the seismic frog. I rig it with a 5/0 Trokar flipping hook. I've caught tons of good fish on this frog. I like the option of pausing it and letting it sink if one misses it.

Budget Bass Fishing
If you are just starting a quantum optix spinning reel 20 size with 8 lb trilene xl or suffix line and any one piece 6'6 spinning rod would be perfect. I say quantum optix 20 size is around 20 in my area Berkeley cherrywood rod for 20 bucks Trilene or suffix line in 8lb test would run you around 7-8 bucks You'll be able to throw beetle spins and crappie jigs on this as light as 1/16 ounce and Texas rigs up to atleast a 1/4 great.

Topwater Rod Budget!
I used to throw a buzzbait,chug bug, weightless soft plastic or even a deep diving crankbait. I want to say it was a medium action. I had that rod for years and when I upgraded to better rods and reels I don't really know what happened to it but it was well worth the money and you can get one most anywhere.

Topwater Rod Budget!
Go grab a 7 foot Berkley cherrywood rod. They used to be around $25. I was 16 when I got my first boat and had one of these in a medium action and caught a bunch of fish on it.

Curado G 1 Or 2?
I've been told that 99.99 is actually below cost. Well maybe not for a huge chain like bass pro.

Curado G 1 Or 2?
I like my 200g's especially for a 100 the biggest complaint I see is because they have a graphite side plate and the drag star isn't aluminum. But this doesn't effect me. I've never broken a side plate or a drag star before.......

Building A New Rod And Reel Arsenal
I would drop those first two rods down the medium heavy. I like extra fast rods but I flip,pitch, throw a frog and swim a jig in some really thick stuff and I don't even own a heavy just too stiff for me.

Tackle Box Limited To 5 Baits... What You Got?
My old bass club used to have a 2 lure tournament every year. You could have two lures. Example you choose a Texas rig you get one hook one weight one pack of soft plastics Then you've still got one more bait. I'd usually take a pack of ultravibe speed craws 1/2 ounce tungsten weight and a flipping hook on 65lb braid. I could swim the ultravibe on top like a frog early then flip with it later on And a Davis swim jig with a pack of white ultravibes.
