If you pay for 2 day shipping it will be delivered in 2 days. I haven’t placed and ground shipped orders from them.

The fuego is by far the best sub $100 reel I’ve used. I don’t know of any cons with this reel.

I think tungsten weights are less prone to snag due to the smaller size. They also seem to be easier to shake loose than lead because they are harder and don’t wedge into the rock as easily. All that said it cost 5 times more every time you loose one.

Most any 6’6” mh baitcast rod that fits your budget would be pretty versatile.

I’ve ordered 3-4 times throughout the pandemic and payed for 2 day shipping. Every order was delivered in 2 days. Nothing is free in this world. If you want premium service you have to pay for it. I appreciate their support, selection, prices, and shipping. If that cost me a few extra $ I’m fine with that.

I think reeling it back too fast is a big factor causing line twist.

Super natural is very manageable and strong but I thought it was lacking sensitivity in typical baitcaster ratings. 14-20 lb sizes. Great line overall but I switched back to old school stren mono.

I placed a tw order this morning and it shipped this afternoon. You can’t get any better service than that.

I continue to get flawless service from land b f and tackle warehouse. Never a delay, never damaged packaging or product and never missing any items. Even during the current covid situation they have both been great.

Where are you throwing them mid day? Under cover or open areas?

I’m looking forward to the new Cara line.

I made it through a few clicks and lost interest.

Baitcasters don’t need an AR switch, just saying.

I always spool enough backing line to allow 65 yards of main line on top. I would pull off line down to the backing and spool on new line.

Why not spool up with the same 6# you use on the spinning setup? I use 8 lb nylon mono and flouro often without issue. I have used 6 on a baitcaster as well and don’t remember any problems.

I prefer sniper over tatsu regardless of price. Tatsu is very manageable but was not as durable as sniper.

In the falcon rod lineup I would use a heavy rod. Medium heavy in the falcon line really isn’t the rod for plastics. 6’10” or 7’ heavy falcons are what I use. The 6’10” and 7’ med heavy are a topwater rod in my opinion.

My hookup ratio is very good with round bend and very poor with ewg. I’m sure others have just the opposite results but for my style it is 99% round bend offset and I do very well with them.

3/0 or 4/0 round bend almost exclusively. I just can’t seem to get good hooksets with ewg hooks.

At least 4

Brakes........Brakes......

ewg hooks suck. Regular round bends hook up almost 100% for me. Maybe 95 maybe it’s my hookset style but ewg just don’t work for me.

I think 5 setups would cover 95% of bass fishing.
