  1. johnny morris 6-6 mh signature series.
  2. a lot of guys use black because we can't find the original matching powerpro green in a permanent marker.the black makes the line less visible than the whitish pale green it turns as the color wears off.does it help catch more fish?who knows?
  3. thinner braids like 20 lb are better on spinning.thicker braids like 50,65 and 80 work better on baitcasting because they help stop line digging into the spool.
  4. it was 12/50 pp on a pflueger medalist 6040 spinning reel on a 6-6 mh rod.
  5. i've fished it on 50 lb pp in weeds with no problem catching fish.
  6. japan is not an open market at all.look at how they tax our cars that go over there.and we are stupid enough to let them in here without doing the same!!!
  7. i really don't think recoils are noisey with braid.mine are quieter than my fuji sic guides are.
  8. weeds can get in the levelwind and cause it to jam.if you force it it strips and you have damage requiring gear replacement.
  9. the patriarch is a completely different frame than the johnny morris.i plan on buying my first patriarch in february.
  10. the difference between braid and flouro is double the difference between flouro and mono.
  11. pflueger patriarch.if it's not enough money buy 2 and send me one.
  12. most guys i know either use a leader or color the last 6 feet black.this means you can use whatever color you like.a lot of guys are using high vis yellow when doing this.i use green.
  13. I would suggest the very opposite. Regardless of what so many people think, sensitivity is completely independent of power. The power of the blank does not change the fiber's ability to transmit vibration. Many people think that a delicate tip, or just a lighter tip is more sensitive because they can see it move... that's not sensitivity, just a weaker tip. If you just go by the function of the blank's taper- I would argue that the heavier power rod is actually more sensitive since it is less likely to dampen vibration in the tip. When you feel something and are unsure of what you feel... one of those times when you can't tell if it's a very subtle bite or brush- what do you do? Do you look at the tip or close your eyes and feel? A lighter rod may "show" movement with no transmission of vibration. Sensitivity in a rod is something I define by feel, not sight. I'd even take a heavy over a med-hvy to worm fish... because I think the lighter rod dampens more. keith i agree with this %100!!!
  14. generally a telescopic rod is not as sensitive as a 1 piece but you probably couldn't feel the difference.balancing helps any rod in the sensitivity department.sensitivity is affected most by what line you use.
  15. so what if it broke?loomis has broken rods returned constantly.most rods breaking are due to owner abuse and not rod defects.imho the johnny morris signature series rods are the best rods made.
  16. are u sure it's not coming out of the gap in the loop on the hook?
  17. it's the round thing on top of the mountain!!!actually it is at the top of a big hill.
