  1. Another viable option is to buy a beefed up zebco 33 and put it on a 7 foot mh rod that I no longer use. I think it may be an easier transition to learn how to cast
  2. I'd like to learn jerkbaits. And ned rigs. Nobody I know in Texas uses either of them. Maybe because the water isn't typically very clear? Idk
  3. that is a beautiful picture. Is that lake Nunya
  4. oh good to know. And that is on the I series?
  5. I think bearings and spool are up graded on curado maybe less plastic
  6. My brother inlaw is flying in for Thanksgiving from Costa rica. He's never gone fishing. Ever. I just don't want his first time to be frustrating. All I really own are bait casters aside from an Ultra light rig. I learned how to fish with minnows and cork maybe that would be best? In regrads to difficulty aND still gEtting bit. I just want him to have fun and hopefully catch fish
  7. No. But id be willing to bet it works. I'll try it on some bedfish next spring
  8. I believe a 60/40 rod like you're describing meaning under a load the rod will start to bend at 60 percent of the rods over all length from the bOttoman of the handle. This would probably be a moderate to moderate fast action or taper. A 70/30 would be closer to a fast action. 80/20 would be extra fast. In my opinion rods and reels are evolving for sure. Maybe more so in design and materials
  9. 1.zoom super fluke Arkansas shad, 2.paradise tackle 1/2 oz flippin jig in green pumkin crawdad. 3. 3/8 ounce terminator spinner bait willow/Colorado blade white chartrues. 4. 3/8 oz strike king red eye shad black back chrome.5. Zoom 6 inch lizard motoroil.
  10. I will only speak on equipment I own/owned. the bantam cu 200 is a very good reel but big and bulky for my liking. I have zero experience with the G series. I've seen alot of haters on the G series. I'd bet it's still good especially at a good price. My favorite is the new curado i. The e's and d100's tie for second
  11. For me it's hard to beat the curados.I have curados and cbronarchs.over a dozen of the last 3 generations Of each. I have 1 jdm shimano it's the scorpion 1000xt. It's twin sister is the chronarch/curado 50e. I have one of each.love them all. In my opinion your wasting an extra 25 bucks getting the Scorpion over the chronarch 50e. It's the same exact reel. I really like the curado I's and my 1000xt and 50's. The chronarch ci4 is one sweet reel. But to me it's not worth 100 more than the curado
  12. Wow that's a bold statement. More power to you.
  13. What are sone good reliable accurate, and certifiable scales that won't break the bank
  14. I really don't change a thing.I think tx has extremely high hook up ratio. And bass will hold on to a plastic much longer than a jig. The weight of a jig head will cause the hook to shake loose faster than a standard worm hook. Imho. Feel a tap take up slack swing hard and high.
  15. well the boat ramp was closed or I would have . Due to drought at dvl.
  16. Hey thanks Tom. Ya I lived in so cal for 9 years nor cal for 4. (30 mins from clear lake) the lakes are totally different there. I visited in September fished Lake skinner and Vail. The bite was really tough. Was a little dissapointed in Vail. No doubt the bass are incredible in cali. Yall will more likely produce the next world record before Texas gets a new state record. But in my opinion East TX lakes are much more fun to fish.
  17. did you get an over run .spool stopped and knot snapped?
  18. I'm wondering how to approach this fall and winter With big baits. water Temps here in east Texas are starting to fall into the low 70s and climb during the day to high 70s. Fishing is heating up and the bite can happen fast. But the water is stained here visibility is decreasing. Lowering my confidence in swimbait fishing
  19. Nice fish. Especially the one with red eyes.
  20. Johnny morris sig. Series.by a long shot. I'd rule out tfo forsure
