Sorry to hijack the thread, but what does the bubble blade do that the standard blade doesn’t? Thanks!

Blaze craw looks similar to bama craw, right? I have a bunch of bama craw jigs from you and love them.

Anyone have a link to the new siebert Megalodon?

Gotcha. Thanks! Were you losing fish and lures with FC due to snags? Were you losing fish because they would wrap you up in vegetation?

Thank you! To clarify, are you saying that invizx has more stretch than tatsu?

Thanks! I assume most if not all modern reels use carbon drags, right?

Very cool! Does it get in the way at all while fishing?

Thank you! That’s good to know! I did find great deals on tatsu on Amazon. Almost too good to be true prices for 1000yd spools. As far as sniper, are you saying that tatsu has better abrasion resistance than sniper?

@bulldog1935 what is that hook keeper in the bottom picture?

Do any reels have metal thumb bars? I assumed they were all plastic.

I’ve never heard of doing this. Here in Florida we don’t have an “off” season. We can fish year round. I’d be really interested to hear @Delaware Valley Tackletake on this since he repairs reels for a living. Personally I would expect modern reels not to need it, but I could be wrong. Does it make a difference if it’s casting or spinning reels?

So do you use FC line for any techniques? Or braid on everything? Really curious! So do you use FC line for any techniques? Or braid on everything? Really curious!

Anyone else have any experience with both lines?

Thank you both!

I’m assuming you don’t snell an ewg hook do you? @Mike L I personally use straight shank “flippin” hooks for most of my Texas rigs and anytime I use a straight shank I use a snell knot. Interesting. Are you using a straight shank flippin hook on your punch rigs? @J._Bricker

But it’s so pretty. 😍

@Zcoker Cool! What coast? I’m in south Florida too.

Thanks!

@WRB forgive me, but can you explain what you mean by “reel set”?

Makes sense! Thanks!

You fishing in south Florida? Am I missing something? Am I missing something?

Ok, thank you!

Thanks you @Glenn! Any particular reason to use invizx over tatsu for those applications? Any reason I shouldn’t use tatsu for those applications? Interesting. Thank you for that detailed response! So if I’m reading correctly, are you saying that hard hook sets can break fluorocarbon easier than other lines? I’m thinking about hard hook sets on jigs and flipping hooks.

Quantum also uses Doyo made reels, correct? Not knocking them, just curious!

Thank you both for your responses. I use 25lb tatsu on my flippin/pitchin/t-rig/jig rod. I’ve never worried about throwing it into thick Florida weeds. Do you think I’ve just been lucky? I really don’t like braid for bottom contact baits. I much prefer fluoro. I feel like tatsu is pretty strong. Between invizx and tatsu, which is better for moving baits like spinnerbaits, chatter baits, swim jigs and maybe some small swim baits? I’m curious about the stretch aspect. From what I’ve seen, invizx is one of the worst lines as it pertains to stretch. Multiple tests including This one show it has the most stretch. Unfortunately tatsu isn’t included in that test. With that in mind, how do the 2 lines compare in terms of stretch? Hopefully some members have experience with both. Which would you say has more stretch? Any other opinions from people who have used both would be very appreciated!
