  1. Please do ask and post it in a separate post . Thank you. I'd buy Lew's over any other reel.
  2. Have no problem with a Palomar knot. I have pulled trees out of the water with 14 lb test. Advance has the least stretch by far of any mono line.
  3. If the waters clear they will come up from 15 or 20 feet sometimes and hit them .
  4. smallies also hit jigging spoons and jerk baits.
  5. Chartreuse senko in the spring drives smallies nuts.
  6. I would never buy any reel from any company that had a composite frame of any type.
  7. I have to agree with the 99$ Lfs.
  8. I agree with you 100 percent. I can't reel a baitcaster lefty. I'm right handed.switching hands happens fast. I don't think I ever miss bites from it. Do what feels right.
  9. I fish Ned rigs on a baitcaster with 8lb test and 1/5 oz jigheads with a trd with no problem.
  10. Wacky rig senko this time of year. They could also be looking to make beds like previous poster said.
  11. I use a Palomar knot and wet it with spit. I'm very meticulous tying knots. This was a big tree on 14 lb test. I just pulled steady because I'm not into breaking rods. My falcon had a serious bend pulling it in. I was fishing from shore so I couldn't float over and get it.
  12. I pulled in a tree with advance and never oassedany elastic threshold or line getting weaker. I have had flourocarbon do that.
  13. Where did you hear this. According to their website the buccoo is made in USA.
  14. where did you hear this ? Falcon rods are still made in USA.
  15. Buy a Falcon buccoo or a. Bass pro shops Johnny Morris signature series.In my opinion Toray blanks suck. I've snapped a bunch of them.for 150$ I'd go bass pro.
  16. At Bass pro shops the difference between 10 lb siege and advance in 330 yd spools is $2.50. imho advance overall is superior to flourocarbon. Far better handling and casting.i also think it has less stretch by far and is more sensitive.
  17. $2 is to much ? Siege is great line. I would say this line is more abrasion resistant and far more sensitive due to less stretch.For $2 I'd try it.
  18. Used it last night.pulled in a huge floating section of a tree. Line definitely has far less stretch than mono or flouro. Is also very sensitive and abrasion resistant. I agree it casts better as you use it. It's a great line.
  19. Nice fat one.usually 20 inches is 4 lb range. Can't tell from the picture.
  20. i dont use leaders because i dont believe in extra knots. i would use 6 or 8 straight flourocarbon.
  21. thats an awesome smalley
  22. johnny morris patriot series JPA72HTXF winn grips fuji sic guides awesome blank great price
  23. works great on baitcast.cant vouch for spinning as i dont use spinning.really casts far and surface is really smooth.extremely sensitive for a mono line due to lower stretch.
