50 lb minimum on a baitcaster.

And the economy would crash.

Braid diameters are almost never what they claim. Braid is softer also. I never get anywhere near what they claim on a spool.

Just got back from 2 hours at a pond with Sufix Advance Flouro..line behaves and casts well. Didn't catch anything so I may add more to this tommorrow. Line didn't coil up coming off the spool. I don't use any line spray.line seemed very sensitive bumping around the bottom.

I second that emotion. If your using 30 lb or higher and wrap it around a dowel you can usually rip it out and only straighten your hooks.

A Lews Custom lite at Sportsmans outfitters for 209. It weighs 4.9 oz.

Couldn't being myself to spend the money on tatsu. Trying Sufix Advance Flouro this year. There are lots of good reviews on the web.

The kid in the picture with the long rod and the fish.

So he has no problem pitching with a rod that long ?

Unless ur 5 ft tall.

For pitching and flipping it can be critical if you're height challenged. Other than that it doesn't matter. Rod length should be a mix of what technique and how much accuracy you need. Shorter rods are easier to cast accurately.Shorter rods are. Lighter and generally better balanced.

Trying to cast hard with a baitcaster results in less distance.its all about technique. Cast with your wrist not your arm. Centrifugal brakes work best. Handle should face up.

Lews Custom light.

I have a Lews Custom Lite on a medium bass pro Patriot rod that casts 1/10 nedheads with a Trd on them really well. Zero backlash with the reel set right.

Elite is smooth casting. Siege is more abrasion resistant and more for casting reels. Advance is their best mono for casting reels. Super low stretch.

black dissapears in low light backrounds. white stands out. white dissapears looking up at the surface. black sticks out in that situation.if your bait is on the bottom black blends in with other stuff down there. i use neon green with the last 5 feet colored black.

high vis neon is easier to see

Get high vis braid and color the last 5 feet low vis green with a permanent marker

Sufix Advance

I second that.

You've obviously never been cursed by witches and demons !!!

Yes. Happens every time.

I'd give it a shot. Lews products are awesome.

Congratulations !!! My best is 7-14 and I'm due for an 8. I'm sure I've hooked a few but never landed them.its been 27 years since I caught mine.

I have a wife for that !!! Do you have gasoline smell on your hands or tobacco ? I suck at drop shot but Ned rig rules. It's better than catching nothing.
