I really appreciate your help and offer. You remind us that there are still good people in this world and in the fishing community. As of right now i have been a lot better thank god. I would rather you help someone else that needs it now. Thats is really nice of you. God bless you

I went through some hard econonic times last year and had to sell off all of my expensive rods. After i sold of all my rods i was in walmart and they had the shocks at $9. I bought five of them and was able to fish the whole season. I thought my fishing was done for the year. Now im building my arsenal again but the shocks will have their place in my arsenal. They did great all season

My favorite color is loon. The. All black one. Fish it on top of weeds, next to reeds and along weedlines. It will get bit. Ive had luck on the rat close to shallow rocky banks.

I have fished both a lot. The rat works, catches above average size fish. But the whopper hands down catches more fish. I say whopper

Read carefully guys, im 99% sure the problem here is the line. Dont trust anything from spyderwire that says ez on the box. I learned from using the ez braid

Great reels. If it was left id buy it. I love mine

X2 boomerang

1. Buy the 7ft medium spinning rod 2. Cut 3 inches off the tip 3. Install new tip Now you have a 6'9 medium fast and not medium moderate. Been doing this for years

I fish these a lot. On mine the tail thumps even at the lowest speeds great baits and at a great price. Some people might have gotten some bad ones. Every other livetarget lure i hate. Specially that topwater sunfish thing

Shimano obviously

Im also trying to find that one company i can stick with for rods and reels. I used to be all abu garcia but a couple reel failures put me off. Lately ive been fishing shimano rods and reels and really like them. I just wish they made xh swimbait rod

I have found that nanofil has its advantages... In the garbage

All my rods are the same company now. Just helps me cover all bases better. I used to have different company rods but some Mh rods were lighter in power than some medium rods etc.

Uni for flouro or mono Polamar for braid Double uni to join them

Ease up on the drag. Problem solved. Or bump up to 15 or 20lb braid

Just kidding, i havent tried it. But it gets real good reviews here. Im pretty sure yo zuri puts out good product

Nope, but yozuri hybrid preachers will be here in 3..2..1

For me, i start by throwing natural colors. If they dont bite i throw neon colors. If they dont bite than they dont want that bait. But i carry more natural colors

Thanks man^^^

Do any of the big brands(abu garcia, shimano, diawa etc...) sell a heavier spinning rod close to the 1oz mark? I need a 7ft heavy or medium heavy rod for skipping frogs and baits. Would really like a stiffer rod

Abu pro max is not a bad start

I started using abu garcias when i started fishing. Then i "upgraded" to shimano rods and reels. And while they are great roda and reels i feel like i miss my abus. I miss a great rod at a great price. I regret selling off all my abu garcias. Now as my rods break or as i sell rods their replacements are gonna be abus. I guess its just personal preference and what you feel more comfortable and confident with. Id say stick with falcon. Ive had some falcons and they were great rods

I understand what you are saying but in this circumstance i have to leave my bait in a strike zone for a little longer than i could a buzzbait, and a walking or poping bait wont work because the weeds are all the way up to the surface. Therefore the best bait would be a frog.

Hey guys, ive always frogged with braid but for a couple weeks i will be fishing with a very limited amount of rods because i sold off my reels and bought new ones. I have a reel spooled up with 15lb big game. Would this line be enough for frogging? Not into real heavy cover. Just over regular weeds. Or should i bump up to 20

Ill take a senko
