Boomerang snips as everyone else said. The hemocuts from bass pro are okay the thing I don't like about them is they are really snug on my fingers and I have a hard time getting my fingers out of them lol. Could just be me though.

I agree. Pencil, screwdriver, chopstick. Or throw the spool in a shoe box keep tension with your fingers.

I think maybe what you're getting at is you feel you're over complicating your fishing. That doesn't mean you need to go and get rid of your stuff just bring less and work on mastering particular techniques then you can decide for yourself the differences in the various types of worms you have and the place and time to use them.

Boil those bad boys. They defiantly get bit out my way.

Got talked into picking up a couple Megabass rods, while I do love them I don't think I ever needed them. I don't feel they were leaps and bounds better than some other rods I have for half the cost. Oh well live, learn and forget about it because fishing is forever!

Might want to look at the Ascend 12t or the Vibe Sea Ghost 130. Don't forget to factor in paddle cost, Pfd and anything else most people use while kayak fishing like an anchor trolley, a kayak cart etc. There are Facebook groups for Ascend kayak owners and Vibe kayak owners which will provide you a plethora of information regarding those two brands. Also tons of YouTube videos out there. Good luck!

Hey uhhh this is from 2005... Hoping they learned to flip and pitch by now

The 2017 model is $650 and is no longer called the FS12T, it is now just called the 12T. The seat is adjustable forward and backward but not height adjustable. However most owners are doing a simple mod to raise the height of the seat to make it easier for getting up and standing while fishing.

I love my megabass orochii xx 7'9" Aaron martens for fishing 3/4oz deep structure jigging. Just another rod to consider at $300

Braid has a smller diameter so for example most 50lb braids have an equivalent diameter to most 12lb fluros and you want to try and match the diameter of your braid to the diameter of the fluro

I dono man I just pass the tag end back through the eye to get it to stand out.

Jesus dude did you rob a bank?

https://www.lastchancetackle.com/blog/content/pickjig.aspx It can be overwhelming but hopefully this blog post can get you started.

Looks like braid to me have you fished it yet?

You don't need a crazy big rod to throw a 1.3oz bait you could throw that on a beefy flipping stick

Figure out what the fish want. We can't tell you everything, some thing's are best left for your mind to figure out. Not trying to sound like a ****** but I see a lot of posts here asking questions that we can't really answer unless we were fishing right next to you. Also read every page in the jerkbait sticky it will give you some influence on what you could be doing and the rest is just going to be your style

Found a spro bbz1 4" shad. Water levels are low out here in Cali if I go bank bashing I have been finding all kinds of jacked up square bills, jigs etc.

What are you looking to do with the rod? Just an all around rod?

I do a lot of night fishing during the summer months but for me its gonna be a swimbait (hudd or triple trout) or a dark jig.

I'm a little different I prefer more of a flipping stick type rod for my jig fishing. Megabass orochii xx 7'9" Powell endurance 775 Dobyns champion 735, dx745, or 766 flip How ever I do alot of deep water structure fishing out here in California over 30-60+ ft regularly

Good thing I don't have to worry about any of that stuff y'all are talking about out here on the west coast. I store my rods on a $20 rack from sports chalet year round in the garage. Reels on the rods plastics in bins stacked up right next to them. No problems here? To the op you might want to look at buying some of these to add to your rack. http://www.***.com/Berkley_Rod_Racks/descpage-FLPJK.html Or I've seen on eBay for cheaper individual clips for keeping your rods more secure. There is also this. http://www.***.com/Organized_Fishing_Horizontal_Wall_Rack/descpage-OFHWR.html

Found this on another forum figured I would share here. 25% off these rods that were on display at icast happy early black Friday haha http://www.americanlegacyfishing.com/featured-categories/icast-display-rods-25-off.html?utm_source=Newsletter+November+9%2C+2014&utm_campaign=Newsletter+October+26%2C+2014&utm_medium=email
