baitcaster for all the same reasons already stated.

nice picture dude!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

i had the pleasure of meeting lp at 5 am today to fish titicus reservoir.the day started of with thick fog and what seem ed like perfect topwater conditions.lp was throwing a pop - r and i was tossing a chugbug.on my second cast i got a blowup on the chugbug but missed him.a little while later i nailed one on the chug bug.that was it for the topwater bite.we switched to different topwaters but nothing was doing. having read the latest reservior reports we figured there would be a t-rig bite going.well,try again!!!no type of t-rig caught anything.we tried cranks,spinnerbaits , lipless cranks,shakey heads,sliders,lizards and a few others i can't remember.we finally gave up and started throwing wacky rigged senkos.wouldn't you know it we put 15 fish in the boat that way!!!sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and throw it.best fish was 3 lbs even.the fish wer also scattered all over the place.the only pattern was it had to be a senko.by 2 pm we were dead and called it quits. here's leigh with a few. and me with one.

i define skunked as on a fishing trip of 5 hours or more.any less time than that and you may just be fishing when they are inactive.i have seen days where i fish 7 hours biteless and the 8th hour a switch is hit and i catch fish left and right.now that it is summer if most of your fishing is from 2 pm to 5 pm you're gonna be skunked a lot.summertime fish bite early or in the dark.it's all a matter of location and timing.that said i haven't been skunked since last year.

i would buy the new redisigned medalist coming out which is all aluminum body and rotor.i hate graphite reels as i have snapped the necks on a few.i have a medalist and it is a fantastic reel.from tackle tour "Pflueger Medalist Spinning Reel: The Medalist isn't a new model but this year the spinning reel gets an upgrade. Because many anglers would use the reel for both freshwater and saltwater applications, Pflueger knew they would have to make this reel more rugged and they did so by introducing a redesigned Medalist with an all aluminum construction. You will see very little plastics used on this reel as it is built to be tough." http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast08reelspfluegershakes.html

the new president baitcaster is coming out.tackle tour showed it on their icast articles.

all i know is i can cast as far if not farther than the guy next to me with a shimano or diawa for 1/2 the price.i haven't had an ounce of trouble from my pfluegers either.i sold all my round trions because i wanted to go to all low profile reels.they were as good as new after 5 years of use.

welcome back avid.

i use the o rings with bill m's wacky rig tool.never have a hookup issue.senkos last a lot longer.

correct!!!

that might be because you are comparing a tourney special which is their bottom of the line with rods that are nicer.

imho bps johnny morris signature/elite series rods are as good as any rod made.i've fished my friends loomis rods and don't feel a difference.i thimk the morris rods are every bit as sensitive.

i have a medalist spinning reel and president baitcast and trion narrow spool.i've had trion rounds in the past.all have been great reels with no problems.

i hope you stopped the spool with your thumb before you started reeling!!!

roflmao!!! ;D

welcome back mud boy!!! ;D

there is no screw and nut on a president.it screws directly to the shaft.

tighten down the drag star all the way and then unscrew it.it is threaded directly to the shaft.

what they said and use a line like cajun red cast or trilene xl both of which are limp.

night fishing can be as frustrating as day fishing.sometimes they don't turn on until 2 or 3 in the morning.it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

nice fish dude!!!

cabela's super magnum.and you can buy flat spinnerbait boxes from plano.

6-6 mh casting rod.

7 foot advantage = longer casts and more leverage. disadvantage = less casting accuracy and heavier tip weight.
