Thanks for the help everyone. I'm looking at the lews also. The biggest thing that turned me onto the lexa was reading that it's spool weight allows you to fish lighter lures since that's mostly what I fish. How is the Tatula?
-
So here in fl we have thick lily pad fields, they can be fished with a peg weighted worm. But on retrieval the weight will gesture in the one spot on the pad as you try to finesse it over and into the next pocket. If you hold the Rod straight out and pull theough it your fine. But it's a lil annoying. I am fishing from the bank by the way, anyone have any tips?
-
Lol I thought about that after I typed it.

Oh wow ok. Is the spool still light weight and able to throw lighter lures? I fish a lot of soft plastics and want to get into jigs. And fiah a lot of nasty cover here in fl. I have a couple nice spinning rigs but want a baitcaster reel for the cover and throw my same tactics?
-
So I'm looking at getting a daiwa lexa 100 baitcaster. For all around bass fishing like the feature of light weight spool and ability to throw light lures and plastics on it. I'm unsure if I want to go with 6.3.1 or 7.1.1. Anyone have any opinions on quality and acapabilitys of this reel?
-
It is a slow game lol. Sometimes I get jealous of the guys who have clean lakes to fish a nd don't fish the slop constantly lol. It limits Ya big time
-
I actually picked up a couple storm chug bugs and a rebel popper. I haven't fished them yet tho. I need to get out and try those. Swim baits and worms are my main go to. I'm trying rage rigging and creature baits tho.
-
I agree a lot of the local community centers ponds and park canals and ponds get a decent amount of pressure. Last it's just works better for me. I'm expierementing with the rage rig a lil
-
I really wana give jigs a try this year! I'm ordering some and some trailers
-
That's basically me I throw more t rigged stick baits and ribbon tails and swimbait hooked swim baits than anything. Rooster tails are good but hard to fish in the ponds and canals near me do to the cover
-
I love the Pflueger presidents I have two. You may look at the shimmano ix2000. For a $15 reel they are actually a nice smooth reel I've had a couple over the years. It'll last a long time especially in freshwater duty. Walmart and bass pro have them on line
-
I fish almost all soft plastics. I mean I throw rattle traps, rooster tails, and crank baits and chatter baits. But besides the rooster tails they have never produced for me so I mainly throw soft plastics. Anyone else out there?
-
Sorry forgot to mention a 7 foot medium power fast action rod is a good all around an a 2000-4000 series size reel
-
Berkley lightning shock rod are excellent for th $39 they cost at local walmarts. Pflueger presidents can be foud on clearance and eBay new and used for $30-50 great lil reels. Im a budget fisherman since I'm a family man. I fish nth of those great quality for the money.

I keep some in my bag at all times. I've seemed to have better luck with dark colors tho

Good for you on promoting pond health and the preservation of our awesome game fish!!

You can back it so there's less braid on the reel. That way te reel isn't full I braid you'll never functionally use. And save a lil cash
-
Buy what you an afford and make you happy. Most if us aren't pros so there's no return. Don't go Into debt or crazy over needing expensive stuff. Buy quality you can comfortably afford and have fun. Remember it's not a fashion contest on who has the sexiest stuff. No one remembers that chrome won't get ya home.

Check cabelas. I believe they had them on sale.
-
Another Pflueger president guy here! I have two and love them
-
10-15 pound fins wind tamer braid is amazing stuff. It's a lil stiff but it's very forgiving g for braid and manages wind so well
-
I beleive so also. They make great baits and I love supporting local business. I can't wait to try these
-
I grabbed a bag of these after watching there vid on there site. Has anyone had any great luck with them? How are you fishing them and rigging them? Thanks as always!
