pfluger and abu reels are known to be strong, durable, and affordable for years to come.

very good to be exact lol just eat the dinks.

yeaa man backing is a must lol

yea man suffix is the beast mono available IMO.

haha thanks I'll give it a try

got this for a buck, 10# 100 yards. this is the deal of the day.

that's great news, thanks man! the reels smooth and I've heard nothing but good so far.

nope, dont feel the need to in the first place. have other reels for other line weights.

yea 6# is as high as I go for spinning set ups.

steep drop offs preferibly with rock/gravel is where they'll hang in cold water, often hugging underwater cover. these baits will get you bit. TUBES HAIR JIGS (Black/White) TIGHT WIGGLING CRANKBAITS (Slow Rolled) RAT 'L' TRAPS

Does anyone know anything about this reel, I got it for christmas along with a nice UL rod. anybody have one that can state the likes and dislikes?

I dont either, unless it's overdone and makes castability a problem. Or if it just flat out doesn't match the equipment, Like obviously you shouldn't put 10# on a UL set up.

I have a fried that doesn't like to "max out" his spin reels. what he means by this is he'll never put the highest test line suggested on a reel. So if a reel suggests line between 6 and 12 pound the highest he'll go is 10 pound. does anyone else do this and why?

rods with micro guides are said to bring about better casting accuracy too.

haha yea man they can be a pain but once they're on straight they're ok. you might like them better on small ball head jigs, either a 1/8 or 1/4 Oz. They stay straightest that way.

haha nice fish man!

those standard flukes are very thin, and it's critical that you get that hook dead center. You can fish them flat side up or flat side down, each way has a slightly diffrent action and fall to it. I personally wouldn't use an EWG hook, I'd use a 1-2/o one of these.

always remember to follow through, just like you would pitching a baceball or throwing a football. take all the actions of the cast and smooth them out togeather. Nobody casts perfect, it takes practice.

as everyone has said above a bass will eat prey that doesn't live in their waters. As far as the jigs and trailers go the jigs weight itself is important. Another thing thats good to know is that the weight of your trailer doesn't make your jig fall faster even though it makes the jig heavier. trailers actually cause your jig to fall slower due to the added water displacement. so if you want a slower fall to keep your bait in the strike zone longer add a nice sized trailer. Basically the bigger the trailer the slower the jig will fall regourdless of jig weight. for example, a bare 1/2 oz jig will sink like a stone in a calm body of water. To slow down the fall I'd add any trailer of my choice to get it to sink a little slower and add a little action to my jig. The same goes for any size jig (1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 oz, ect.)

yea man i was thinking of using a standard fluke so sideways would probably be best as far as having less bait to go through. Not only that but the sideways look would probably look like a dying baitfish better.

for sure haha!

indeed

I'd be hyped on that haha

all good advice, thanks
