Is the side over on right ? Is the spool all the way seated?

I'm KNOT !!!! Catt has it right.

All rod makers have u pay shipping

I hate faded braid. Also you don't have to color it with a marker. If you use high vis and it fades it's not as visible 6 before it faded.

It still works but there are others that are far superior and don't fade .Vicious no Fade Braid is one of them.

Lol

Would have paid $199 with alconite. I don't doubt it. Same with bps.

Probably figure it's better to keep price down. I can understand that on a rod under $200 but not over $200. BPS should have made them 189 with the alconite guides.

Not when they slide by cheap guides. I rather pay more. They arent fooling me. St Croix is doing the same thing on some of their rods. So are other manufacturers.

The guides being downgraded is what stopped me from buying another. The sierra is lifetime warranty and a nice rod in that range. O just bought a halo HFX to try out.

they were better last year when they had fuji alconites. now they are aluminum oxide which is a downgrade. a lot of rods in the 250 range have done this.the blanks are awesome. buy a dobyns sierra microguide instead.

Yes no dig.

This is true but as the fight goes on the longer rod works against you. 1 lb at the end of 10 ft is 10 ft lbs at your wrist. 1 lb at 12ft is 12 ft lbs. Put 6 lbs on and it becomes 60 lbs ft of torque. At 12 feet it would be 72. This is why 1 use 7-3

And your labor is worth nothing ?

Your first mistake is saying thicker lines are denser.IMHO thinner braid gets lures that get returned down the fastest.next is mono. Thicker mono is resistance to depth. There is not enough density to make mono sink. Thinner flourocarbon goes deeper. Flourocarbon is denser so that also helps.

Seguar BASIX good on casting reels and fairly inexpensive

Quote And this is why he quit.He doesn't know the difference between reel drag and brakes .

Definitely vicious No Fade Braid in 50.

Vicious gets great reviews 13000 yds for $50! 8 lb test

Pflueger Patriarch had the same finish.

I'd get a Lew's tournament pro lfs . Better than Either IMHO due to the 27 point externally adjustable brake.

Get a Lew's Custom lite and get rid of your backlash issues. I've used that line and it casts really well for a flourocarbon. Either that or your casting to hard. If your gonna stay 8lb I'd get custom lite shallow spool. They are next to impossible backlash.

Would never go lower than 50 on a baitcaster

I second that. They may even send a tube.

I used to love night fishing. Now my vision is so poor I don't bother.
