I really like the Cavitron, but the Warrior Warpath is an awesome buzz bait, I would look into it if you guys are looking to try a new one. The Warrior can be fished more slowly, and has a clacker. I just figured with white the less noisy and somewhat "faster" one would not be a bad idea.

I am thinking about getting either a Warrior or Cavitron white buzz bait. Any input on one of these or the other? Would you want more or less noise for a white/clear water buzz bait? I have one of each of them in black and both work well. Also anyone have a good recommendation on a double buzz bait. Color for a close to all around one for Michigan waters?

I got a few Pointer 78SPs and a couple small SK jigs that were ~.90 each

I just got some 30lb power pro and 15lb red label for leaders Hope this works.

I have never used mono on a bait casting reel! I think I might just use fluoro as a leader. What knot? Can I use 15lb fluoro and 65lb braid? That line is not something I will buy again, I can make it fray with a finger nail, two or three passes and it breaks

I have been wanting to try some, I have only fished braid in the past. Got a spool of Spiderwire EZ fluoro and filled a spool as usual. Left my reel setup as usual, made a cast and got a nasty backlash, I was unable to get it out. Upon some inspection I noticed that this line looks to be fraying all over, I could rub my finger nail on it and see it fray more. I had treated it with L&L as everyone suggests. There has to be a better line out there, I hardly ever backlash with braid.

For that weight it seems the TP would be a better choice. I might wind up getting a TP in the future, we'll see how I like my BB1 Pro.

Hows the brake adjusting? Fairly simple?

I use a medium 7'0" Ugly Stik GX2 and a Quantum Fire 30 reel for my "always in the car just in case I want to fish" setup. I like the rod a lot for the money, not a huge fan on the reel, but it works. I run 15lb spiderwire invisibraid on it just fine.

I went to order my tournament pro and noticed the BB1 Pro is the same price. Anyone have used both? Input? This will be a 7.1:1 ratio used for general purpose Jigs, frogs, topwaters

It was between the BB1 pro or the TP. only 10 dollars difference. The TO seems more multiple use friendly

It will be going on an all purpose setup that will see too water lures, jigs, and occasionally a frog

I decided on the 7.1:1 LH tournament pro. It has everything I am looking for, weighs next to nothing, and can be had for $150 with the awesome carbon fiber handle.

Maybe I'll just stick with an LFS. I have a gift card to TW that I was going to put towards a BB1.

How does everyone like the brakes on it vs the magnetic brakes on a speed spool? I have wanted to get a 7.1:1 reel for a while. I really like the brakes on my Lews LFS reels, not sure if I will like them on the BB1 Opinions please!
