I Had one do the same thing and its a easy fix 4 screws pop the top and turn the arrow just like the man above suggested Fishincop

Fire tiger, unless its spring then anything red.

Forget G Loomis and their over priced rods. Pick up a Duckett and you'll never look back. I picked one up last year and now I have replaced everyone of my rods with Ducketts. Nothing over $200 and a great warranty.

OUTSTANDING !!!

Yes I can I just moved recently to Southern California and when I find the Photo albums I will scan them in. This was the days before dorpbox and cell phones. We had to go buy a cheap disposable camera that day, never expected to have a day like we did. My Partner that day Doug Webster ended up catching 3 bronze beauties a 5.5 lbs a 6.3 lbs. and a 7.1 lbs on 5 drifts down a point. I was busy netting his fish and looked up and my float was gone ran to the front of the boat and it was on. that was the only one I caught. But I'm not complaining. 1/16 oz. hair and maylar jig 22' under a clip on egg shaped float 9 1/2' custom rod 8 lb Bagleys silver thread line

I have been using Maui Jims for years. I have several pairs of them Banyans is the name of the style I like the most, They are light weight and have good clarity, But I recently tried a pair of Costa Del Mar and they blow the Maui Jims away take a look at the Costa before you buy the Maui Jims. The Costas have great clarity and just seems to brighten up everything and it is unbelievable how deep I can see into the water they beat the Maui's by a good foot foot and a half. When you get ready to make your purchase ask to take them outside the store to compare the two brands together in the sun. The style of Costas I bought are the Cayan AY 50. I hope this helps

I knew the Guy who started strike king. I went to school with him, Charlie Spence great man he died not too long ago at a cutting horse competition. He won his event and then at the start of the second round he had a massive heart attack. Huge loss to the human race.

Black floating Fliptail Lizard

Try a black fliptail floating lizard, I lived in an apartment complex years ago and it had a lake that looked like what you show. I had tried everything with little success I would catch a nice one about every other trip until I tried the lizard. throw it on the bank and drag it in and hang on !!! The old fliptails would float a 5/0 hook but the new ones I just got will only do a 3/0 but that should still do the trick. I also use to catch some huge bullfrogs in the same lake on the same bait, first time I did that I didn't know what I had on the end of the line LOL but they sure tasted good. www.FLIPTAIL-LURES.COM 501-745-6145 GOOD LUCK

I did my own with parts from Hedgehog in Japan Great company they have great instructions with their products. Shipping was super fast I did 2 Tatula's a type r and a 100hs. Installed air bearing on each and level wind bearings, handle bearings etc... I also got the red dress up parts the screws and red cork handles. I increased the 8-1 gears with a Titanium set I made to 9.2-1 its fly's great buzz baits reel. I increased the gear ratio on the 7-1 to 8.5-1 with a set of titanium gears that I made. I Think the total cost for all the parts for both reels was somewhere around $260. www.Hedegehog-studio.co.jp

Hoppy's made in Old Hickory Tn Check them out at Hoppyslures.com they use to make a floating spinnerbait but they stop making those 5 or 6 years ago sure wish they would bring them back does anyone on here happen to have any of them?

Sure they do haven't you ever heard the expression "fine as frog hair"

Another great come back bait is the Poes cedar ACE IN THE HOLE the make 2 size a 3'' and 5'' depending on how they measure I use the smaller ones and tune the blades to make them burp. Red and Black HANG ON

I have 8 Duckett rods in spinning and casting and I have used just about every rod brand on the market in the past 40 plus years that I have fished, and I absolutely love these I am using the Micro Magic style they have 3 levels of rod from $99-$199. The Micro Magic run $149-$169. The spinning rod has a Diawa Steez ex3012h reel and I am using D.A.M.Tectan Premium Plus mono in 13.9 lbs size. This is the best Mono I have ever used. You should give it a try its hard to find sometimes but worth the effort. I got the last spools I bought on Ebay. Hope this helps

I am not a fan of fluorocarbon, I've tried just about every brand of floro out there and it has too much memory for my taste. The best mono line I have every used is the German brand D-A-M Tectan premium plus sometimes its had to find but worth the effort. I think they are replacing it with a new improved version called superior. if you want to try a great line at a good price pick up a spool I found the last spool I bought on Ebay.
