  1. I would try it. If I'm correct that reel has both centrifugal and magnetic brakes. You should be able to set it up to cast lots of different lures.
  2. I used them for years. Good reels. I switched to Lews. I like them better. You can't go wrong with a pflueger.
  3. Lews tournament pro. 139$ at Sportsmans outfitters. With its externally adjustable 27 position brake it's really easy to adjust.
  4. If you can afford it I would get the Lews tournament pro for 139$ at Sportsmans outfitters. It's 199 other places.
  5. If you don't want dig in you need to use at least 50 lb braid. I use Sufix 832. I tried 20 lb on a baitcaster but it did dig in at times.
  6. What he said. Recolor with permanent marker.
  7. And bring a piece of line long enough to run from the handle through the guides and back out to your other hand. This will give you a better evaluation of the rod action and bend.
  8. I've thrown a 5 inch on a BPS Johnny Morris 7-6 heavy extra fast. Problem is wacky rig hooks bend easy.
  9. And I dont really think you need a lifetime warranty. I've broken 5 rods in the past 30 years. All were within the first month. One was a BPS . They replaced it No problem. .
  10. bass pro shops signature series. i really dont get why nobody ever mentions them. for the money they cannot be beat. patriot and platinum series are even better.
  11. I have signature series and patriots. All of them are great rods. I would put them up against any rods out there.
  12. probably 99 percent of us palm the reel.
  13. Best explanation I've ever heard.
  14. I've finally settled on Sufix 832 50 lb braid on all my baitcasters. You can tie leaders on it if you like. I prefer not to use leaders. If I used spinning I would use Sufix 832 in 20lb test but I don't use spinning. I gave all my spinning rods to my daughter.She uses 832 20 lb.
  15. The 1 isn't to small for a 2.75 inch trd?
  16. what size ned rig jig hook size do you guys use with finesse trd? it seems to me most jigs have hooks that are to small. does this cause less hookups or fish lost in a fight? what do you guys use?
  17. I solved that . I gave my spinning stuff to my daughter.
  18. winn grips are awesome. cork is next and foam is third. i haverods with all 3.
  19. if im really concentrating im a 9.5. i dont use spinning anymore.i dont skip so i dont count that in my repitoire. even a major league pitcher throws a wild ball sometimes . i do agree accurate casts are important. especially when fishing under overhanging trees and laydowns with tons of branches.if im not concentrating im a 8. thats generally funfishing with my daughter.
  20. I hid things from my wife. They find out. Results are not good. You're better off fighting over it now.
