Struggling with Texas Rig Fishing
I find the best way to fish a trig is slow and boring drags with dead sticking sometimes. It takes patience. I hated it at first but dead sticking on a slow day can be the best. I prefer baitcaster for everything.

Ideal rod & reel characteristics for TX Rig / flipping setup?
Original buccoo. I see on tackle warehouse a lot of people snap the sr. I couldn't snap an original buccoo if I tried.

Disillusioned by new Shimano Vanford 500 vs Lew's Wally Marshall Signature Series 50
Could you imagine where you'd be if you bought Lew's best spinning reel.

Baitcasting setup for lighter weight lures?
Team Lew's pro sp makes an awesome bfs reel. There's a video of a guy throwing really light finesse lures on light flourocarbon with it. The reel had no problem tossing baits you wouldn't think it could.

Falcon buccoo is close to unbreakable.

Lews Custom Lite SLP?
The Geary you will get on any magnesium or carbon fiber frame reel. Mine was a little Geary at first but has gotten smoother. With time. I had a abu mgx that got reel Geary after a season but this is a billion times better.i also use Teflon lube.

Braid too loud? Thinking of going to higher pound FC for flipping/Pitching
My friend had 2 where the guides grooved out using braid. We looked on the web and found other Complaints of this happening. Like I said I would only buy alconites or better . I've never grooved a Fuji alconites or sic and I've been using them since they came out with braid. I've never had one pop out either.

Light Lure Casting Reel, NoT BFS
Lew's custom Lite for me. I cast neds with it with no problem. It's actually my favorite reel. If I could have only one it would be that.

Fazlites suck. The sic are awesome.

Landing nets
I use one all the time. Much better for the fish and more fish get landed.

Any rod that has Fuji alconites or better should not be damaged by braid.

Lews Custom Lite SLP?

Lews Custom Lite SLP?
Agree totally. I just get upset when people refer to it as plastic. I was once a big opponent of composite frames but this one seems to do it right. Plastic just sounds so cheap when talking about a high tech composite. Good luck with yours . I would definitely buy another.

Lews Custom Lite SLP?
Custom Lite is a high tech carbon frame not plastic. It's supposed to be hard and require machining light metal.i have one and I love it.the only thing I don't like is the knot has to be centered perfectly or the line will stack to one side . It's worse with braid. It's absolutely fine with flouro or mono. It casts awesome with no backlash and. It's so light it's a pleasure to use all day. I plan on buying another.
