Who Carries Daily.....and What Do You Carry...and Why..?
I looked at the shield and several others including Sig. This one came home too. Feels amazing and the trigger is awesome. Favorite pistol by far. Enjoy and sweet color combo.

Megabass Vision 110 FX
Fished a FX for a season. Not sure how it compared to the standard 110 really but it caught a lot of fish and the bill held up fine. Great looking color choice and bait. Good luck!

Finesse Spinning Rod Suggestion
I would be looking into these if it were me. Shimano expride light plus, St. Croix avid panfish, St. Croix legend walleye light 7', or St. Croix Avid Walleye.

Rod for Bluegill and Panfish
I just ordered a St. Croix Avid Panfish 6-9 ML. If its like the walleye series they are really nice for the money. St. Croix has the best selection of panfish rods in my opinion.

Jerk Bait Rod - Shimano Expride vs St Croix Legend Tournament
and the SC warranty is transferable. The new LTB rods are nice!

Square bill question
Fish square bills a lot and I actually never grind bottom or deflect them (or rarely do). I fish them shallow near docks or even just crank them in open water. Might not work on every lake but I have had 40 fish days doing it so I know it works. I like smaller cranks in the 1/4 -1/2 oz range and smaller profile. Also the flat sided ones work great in medium depths too. Fish them at different speeds and erratic with a couple twitches here and there and hold on

ID this lure?
House brand from a Cabelas, Academy, Gander, Dicks?

Jerk Bait Rod - Shimano Expride vs St Croix Legend Tournament
I too like longer rods for jerkbait fishing. A 7'-6" will cast a 110 across the lake. Love it .

NRX+ 843S SJR
grubs, 1/2 oz jerkbaits, worms, larger poppers, wacky, cranks, 3" swim baits would all be in that rods wheelhouse I would think.

Shimano Chronarch are dead
Shimano chronarchs are a great reel! The ci4 and the MGL.

High end spinning rod
I bought the shakeyhead levante recently. Very impressed after unpackaging but haven't hit the water with it yet. I fished the orochi ronin and its a fine rod too but not what you are looking for.
-
Light crank/ jerk baitcaster.
Megabass levante FSS on sale.

NEW G Loomis GLX just dropped!
I may have asked this before but does the reel seat bother you or is one real brand better than another with it?
-
NEW G Loomis GLX just dropped!
I'm complete joking with ya. You're not wrecking anything for me. I like fishing all the brands and trying new sticks. GLX is a great rod and so are the others.

NEW G Loomis GLX just dropped!
Take it back TNBank! 😁 I was looking forward to these and like the simple/clean look but not digging the grip on the spinner. Still might try one or two of these. That 7-5 ML looks awesome. Wish they had the NRX foregrip but oh well.

Advice on the 7'6" St. Croix Eyecon?
Check out the new Avid Walleye 7-6 ML XF. Awesome rod.

Jerkbaits
The first ones they produced years back were incredible. They changed them a time or two but man I wish I had all the original models. Such a good bait.

Jerkbaits
LC Pointer and Rapala x-rap 10 are my favorites when not fishing Megabass.

NRX+ 842 Help
852S is a great weightless plastic rod and does other things well but 842S is what you want if you are looking for versatile. 842 does spinners, small cranks, small lipless, drop shot, neds, senko, topwater, you name it. Let others chime in but this has been my experience. I use to own (2) 842S rods because they are that good.
-
NRX+ 842 Help
842S will be your favorite spinner. Buy it! Best all purpose rod GL makes.
-
High End Spinning Rod: Conquest 842 SJR vs. NRX+ 852 JWR
I prefect the 842 fast action over 852 extra fast but both of these models are versatile. The 842 can do all the things you mentioned well. The 852 is powerful and better for wacky and weightless plastics. For all-purpose I tend to lean more toward the 842S. The conquest is a hair more powerful than the NRX + in 842S models. Not by much but it is.

If you could only fish 5 Lures
1. jerkbait 2. jerkbait 3. jerkbait 4. senko 5. lipless crank
-
New GLX
I've heard some reels work great and others don't. I want to buy a casting model but that has always been on the back of my mind with this series. The spinners are incredible. 842S is awesome.

Jerkbait Rod for Short Angler
I actually prefer a side stroke and fish rods in the 6'-10 - 7'-1" length. Cast further and easier to work those baits all day in my opinion. I prefer spinning gear.

St Croix new PhysyX rod series
