The legend tournament rods are too tip heavy. The elite or extreme are good to go. Will not buy another LTB.

Yes for sure.

What size eliminator are you guys using for a 3/8 or 1/2” jackhammer? 3.5” or 4.5”

I am right handed and use both. I grew up with right hand cast, switch hands and retrieve right. I still do that on rods that I cast with. On pitching/flipping rods, I use left handed reels. It's just easier and quicker pitching while trolling down the bank to not have to switch hands. Plus I am ready to set the hook as soon as it hits the water. Also, I get worn out less being able to switch hands. I'll go from winding a squarebill for awhile though timber(right hand retrieve), to picking up the pitching stick with a jig(left hand retrieve), using the other hand to give myself a little break.

Why aren't they on st croix's website?

Dobyns dx745 . 744 is too light, IMO, for a 1/2oz jig with trailer. I have all of the dx74* line and the 745 is by far the best jig rod. Light and perfectly balanced. I also have a st croix legend extreme 7'4" heavy fast rod, and still prefer the dx745 over it. It balances better and feels more sensitive.

I always replace all my crankbait hooks with the mustads. I just wasn't sure If I had the proper size already. I typically go up by one size as well. So #1's is what I'll put on these 4.0s.

It works well for its purpose. But, I learned long ago, it's better to just bite the price bullet initially and buy the large bulk spools. At least the 600 yard ones. I found myself wasting too much line with the small 200yd spools. There was always line left on the spool that was too short to use, and I can only use so much scrap as leader material, then it becomes waste. If you're experimenting with different line types, that's one thing. Once you figure out what you like, buy the large spools. I am pretty much set on Sniper for fluoro, yozuri and senshi for coply/mono and have bulk spools for all of them.

d**n, I forgot to check the obvious, their own website! Thanks.

Can anyone tell me the stock hook size for the kvd 4.0 squarebill? I found them in stock online and ordered a few, but want to make sure have replacement trebles large enough. If not, I'll pick them up also.

Bang?

Thanks!

Bumping this old topic , does anyone have the super magnum and can measure the bottom of the bag, the rubber part for me? Need mainly the long dimension.

Digitaka and japanlureshop are my gotos. Digital is almost always cheaper because of the free shipping. Both were at my house in under a week.

Ive found the bass pro brand ones to work the best. The rapala are junk, spend more time getting hooks out of them than their worth.
