Almost bought one, but instead grabbed the 6’8” Lews KVD jerk bait rod. It’s too stiff imo and I’m curious to hear what you guys think about the Fuego.

I walk off about 30yds and stretch the heck out of InvizX and use conditioner in between fishing trips..no issues.

Exactly this. Plus, balanced rods are so much nicer to cast, fish.

Very good cranks for $4, agree!

I think 8# for sure especially if that’s a M power rod. YZH 8# is as thick and as strong as others 10#.

I have a few of the Royale Legend Elites and their BFS Zephyr reel. For 50-70 bucks you can’t beat ‘em.

Not fully if I can remember and I ended up getting rid of the reel.

I’m late to this IL thread. Anyone on here fish the Southern IL lakes & strip pits?

The old gold Carbonlites has been taken a beating the past few yrs.

Academy Sports has InvizX for $18. I think for that cost it can’t be beat.

Mmmm tasty

I do this and can usually get away with 12# test.

I fish mine just like this without the drop weight. I put a 1/32 nail weight in the body. Works great!

I have only handled them in store and do not understand all the praise. Not very crisp or balanced IMO.

I have been fishing both 10 & 12# InvizX all year on BFS reels that holds about 50yds with no issues. It’s plenty of line. Same type of fishing you are doing. I do get some hookset break offs with the 10# at times. I’m assuming Tatsu has similar breaking strength as InvizX.
