Holy cow! Why do we need double digits?

Peg them when you fish heavier cover. You'll lose less. Looks like I'm gonna bite the bullet, I need the sensitivity, bad.

I have a switch on my Accurist PT spinning... Hmmmm

Never used the Sniper stuff but that's just the nature of FC... I'm spooling mine with braid that way I have both sensitivity and handling.

Ignorance is bliss my friend. I still like the stock Tats though. They look pretty solid. Sexy frame too

I just use 12# on my casters and 8# on spinning. I just do this because its what I like. I like light. Or 50# braid for casters and 20# on spinning. But I don't see its a huge deal to 'max it out'

Is their an advantage when casting? What are the advantages of brass?

I can most certainly tell the difference. I've used both, the ones with the extra bearings are better, no matter what anybody says.

I realize this. I was backing up his statement.

Bad stuff man... This plus the hacks against MSoft and Sony aren't good either..

Saying they are pointless is an ignorant statement. Bearings will help your handle knobs hold up better.

Doesn't mean they should be the same price...

What is the rod power?

Ahhh... I see.

If demand is small shouldn't that mean the price should be low?

So, tungsten weights are smaller.. And apparently more sensitive.. But how much more sensitive? What makes them so $$$? I can by 30 lead weights for the price of 4 tungsten weights It has me scratching my head... Are they worth the money?

BPS is having one (its in name only, its just carry over from their Christmas sale)... That and the 25 days of savings is still running on TW. Haven't seen anything other than that.

Let's start by saying I have some.... SOME... confidence in soft plastics, but not the most. I've bought myself a good worm and jig combo and will work on that going into next season. But, does anybody do a lot of worm/plastic fishing in dirty water? I'm talking casting, not flipping and pitching. Flipping and pitching is a great dirty water tactic, but does anybody cast plastics in dirty water? If so, what are you using?

This is a fairly vague question... But I can't stress enough that the best rod is the rod YOU like the best. It may feel great to you but feel like junk to someone else and vice versa.

Just another personal preference thing.... Basically everything in fishing is. I prefer a colored line (generally Low Vis Green) because I can see it better.

Agreed. When the wind is blowing around it is going to push fish that direction. It pushes plankton, which the baitfish follow so they can feed. It can also cause bass to stack EXTREMELY TIGHT to cover. I like to throw a spinnerbait right up along the shoreline. It's a great way to catch fish. Position your boat so you can run it parallel and cast up and down the bank.

In muddy water, go black and never go back. That silhouette is a lot easier to see. I like big thumper Colorado spinnerbaits for muddy water. I also like loud rattling chartreuse crankbaits. A big black and blue jig with a large chunk is a big profile that also is easy to locate.

This is true. Thanks for clarifying. I was specifically talking about chunks, not other denominations of trailers.

Berkley Lightning Rod, New Tackle Box, Lew's Tournament MB 7.5:1 Ratio, 2 Kopper's Live Target Frogs (Black and Green), and 2 Cabela's Flat Sided Pork Chops. I also got a $25 BPS Gift Card. Plan on buying myself some soft plastics, worm weights, jigs, and spinnerbaits.

Doesn't everything come down to personal preference in this sport?
