Tour edition rods were nice.

Not really. We've never had lot of Quantum fans. For some reason they seem to be producing fewer models. Kind of like Pflueger.

What exactly happened to spider wire?
The only Spiderwire I liked was the original.They haven't made it since the 1990s.

Reel for 20+ ft cranksbaits
Somebody made a video on different crankbait retrieves and showed it. It may have been one of Glenn's videos but I don't remember.

I e completely eliminated spinning since the newer baitcasters cast small neds.

A lot of guys move the bait with the rod and reel in the slack.

My Baitcaster reel's drag has stopped working, I know why, but I don't know how to fix it
Fighting the fish to long raises the mortality rate. It's much better to make the fight as short as possible by using equipment that will get them out of cover fast.

What is this?
Nope. There's a lot of beers that suck so I'd drink coke or water first.

Jigging with Spoons.
It's usually done with 14 to 17 lb flouro on a baitcaster. Spinning won't handle that well. You also have more control of how deep your soon goes with your thumb on a baitcaster.

If you can use only one line...
LOL. Not on my rods.

Photoshop

If you can use only one line...
Never use leaders. Don't believe in them. Straight braid always.

10 lb. Sufix 832 braid.

Recommendations on reel backing?
That's why I don't go below 12 lb diameter. With today's braking systems you should almost never backlash. They are light years ahead of the old stuff. When you do backlash you push your thumb against the line and reel it on. Then you release and pull. Repeat as needed. I have not had to cut a backlash out in years. I learned on braid and I'm glad I did.

Why ? It's way less prone to backlash and easier to get out and backlash doesn't damage it.
