Daiwa tatula xt review
Mine is the casting. I’d love to try one in spinning. It does fish just like a MH if you ask me lol. It’s a beautiful rod. And handles and balances great. Just wish it felt more true to the rating.

How’s everyone doing in the Midwest??
Oh nice! Good luck to the youngest! Yeah I only went for about an hour before work lol. Between work and my kiddos it’s hard to find more than a couple hours

Oh wow! Yeah I’m near the Des Moines area. Wind has still been bad. Rain missed us yesterday. I went out this morning got some on an underpin. Nothing to write home about tho.

Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
Welp I have half the 200 yard spool left and it’s paid for lol. Figured I’d just try it on a combo that needs new line anyway. That’s all lol

So since I started fishing invizx after making this post. I think it casts amazing. I enjoy the feeling of being connected to the lure and it is more sensitive. I will probably spool some other combos up with it honestly

Daiwa tatula xt review
What a rod. Fit and finish is insane. Beautiful. Looks way nicer than a 99 dollar rod. The reel seat I found to be comfortable. I have the 7’ M 1/4-3/4 ounce model. But man I tell you it is like casting a broom stick for a M rod lol. If your aren’t 3/8 ounce within trailer or atleast 1/2 ounce. This thing is just not a wonderful caster. I really feel Like it’s closer to MH honestly. Anyone else run into this issue?

Eyes WIDE OPEN! The Tube!
One of the main reasons I’ve been tossing finesse swimming in my area. And hopping off the bottom and swimming it. Everyone throws a stick bait, spinner bait, lipless crank here. It’s something they haven’t seen and silent too. Not rattling and such or flashing. I agree it’s like they are conditioned to what we have now. This past year and beginning of this year was my toughest year ever. congrats!!! I’ve never tried a tube sounds like ya smoked em tho!!

Time for a serious tackle cull.
Sent ya a pm @Munkin

It finally happened…
That happens sometimes I’ve had that issue with jigs recently on dinks. Can feel them on it but they are just too tiny to inhale it. Keep at it. You’ll know when a bigger one bites. The thump is there.

Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
Wow! What a discussion!!! ok so I spooled up with 12 pound seaguar invizx last night. On my Shimano slx70 and falcon low rider swim jig rod. Went to the pond before work and threw a 3/16 siebert sniper jig. I love it!!!! casted well. Was sensitive low stretch on hook set. For the two smaller fish I caught. I really enjoyed fishing with it honestly.

New Plano Boxes - anyone tried them?
I looked at than at them in store. I like them. Dividers are better and one hand latch is nice. I have a 3600 edge I’m still not sold on

I miss punching and flipping lol. When I lived I Florida I’d get my canoe out and use the trolling motor and just run the pads and car tails. Caught alot of fish that way

Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
Won’t lie. I looked it up after seeeing people recommend it and on other threads I searched. That about of this bank beaters budget lol. I’d probably bird beat it first cast and be seen having a fit on the bank like a child lol

-
Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
Thanks everyone. I doubt it will give me an advantage at all. Just trying to up my jig game as much as I can. I’ve always fished straight braid. And recently switched to mono and I like it a lot. But always looking for that edge to maximize my enjoyment
-
Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
lol Thankyou. Looks like I’ll have to pick some up tomorrow
-
Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
Thanks! Should have said it is casting reels!
-
Is flourocarbon worth the headache?
I’m considering switching my jig rod out to flouro. For the lower stretch and slack line sensitivity. I have never fished flouro except for a leader. Is it worth the headache and having to treat the line before fishing and all that? Or should I just go to a good 8 strand braid lol?

Siebert jigs
So far I really like the zoom super chunk jr. and missle baits mini chunk. I have got some zoom fat Albert single tail grubs and some swim baits I wana try also. But the mini chunks kill it since I don’t always seim it but more hop off the bottom. And our eater here in the Midwest is still quite cold
