It’s a team lews custom pro. 6’11 m-xf. I’m definitely all over the place with line. I like both suffix and power pro and buy either when on sale. The J braid is 8# , also found that at Sierra for 3.99. Going to try it on an alphas sv TW for ned rigs. The invizex is for chatter bait /spinnerbait rod. I use the 12# yo zuri for topwater spooks and poppers. And 8# as leader. The old ambassador’s are where I started with baitcasters, and I still like them as cheaper swimbait reels.

Just a few new items I recently picked up. Not typically a fan of lews, but one of there higher end rods for $79 I couldn’t pass it up. Paired with the pflueger supreme Xt and it passes the look and balance test.

Gore Tex gloves.

Grabbed some new rain gear for the season. The carhartt set was from Sierra great deal at 120 total

Well had some rewards points to use at DSG. Walked in and they had a ton Newly added to the Buy5get5 deal. Clearance the bait monkey is definitely the hardest hitting. The line was different and from a TW order, that also included a new Tatula SV in 7:3:1 I’m waiting on still.

Made my weekly the water is frozen in New Hampshire, so might as well buy tackle trip to BPS. Cool idea on these box’s. Wonder how long the sticky will last. Mostly jerkbaits this round , one of my go to baits year round up here.

Those look killer might need to grab some at the expo tomorrow

Just grabbed the last one my local BPS had.

Like the president. Let’s see how this is.

I was doing really good. And then this happened

Looking to get a dedicated Ned rod and been wanting to try a major craft. I’ve read they fish on the lighter side so thinking the M is better, but would normally go with a M/L. Anyone have experience with these.

Would be nice on a bladed jig with no skirt

Same parent company. Just going to the better product for fishing.

I was using a M/F. I’ll step it up and see how it goes thanks.

I get tons of bites on the dark sleeper, but only land maybe 10%. What are you throwing them on for a rod.

The ribs will move more water. Better for dirty water IMO.

Welcome to the group

I need therapy. Monkey got me for the second time today. Had to grab a few things from Walmart. Naturally I peaked in the clearance isle and i couldn’t resist ?. Should have enough tungsten for a while.

I’ll be there Saturday

Little pick up from today. Few from Sierra online clearance and all the KVD from dicks were buy 5 get 5 free. The daiwa reel also from dicks, guess it was from a combo but rod broke, so they gave me reel for $25

Thinking it might make a good First BFS set up. Couldn’t let it sit at Sierra any longer for the price. What would you use a ML casting rod for.

Few nice rods at Sierra today

Kid smoked them skipping docks this afternoon. 17 total in 2 hours. 12 we’re dinks under a lb, 5 over 2 lbs biggest went 3.2. I played captain on the trolling motor to get him positioned perfectly.

I didn’t have my scale on me. Just guesstimating on weight, I always guess low the biggest was probably close to if not over 4.

Got out for a few tonight. Had smallies hitting top water and one on the Yamamoto swimming ned. Got 7 total 3 over 2 lbs biggest went just under 20”. Smallmouth are such a rush.
