i'm thinking the same thing now, my reasoning for changing it would be that my zillion is 5.5:1 and my tatula is 7.3:1 so if i can have an sv spool in a reel i use to skip jigs i think it could make life a little easier, where with casting crankbaits doesn't really require a light spool

so i just had a thought, i know in my zillion tws i have an sv spool and i also know that the frame is very similar if not the same as the old tatula frame. my thinking is that i can take the sv spool out of my zillion and put it into my tatula to make a tatula sv. my question is has anyone tried this to know if it will work or not?

depends really it's on more of a fish by fish basis if it's a frog or a t rig fish then yes but if its on something with trebles i try to play the fish

get bit custom baits takes care of all my custom work, phil is an amazing painter he has done a bull shad as well as my 2 newest which are 2 lunker punkers

i have never thrown them i prefer the lc RTO 2.5 or a dt10 for that depth instead, i know the body is bigger but its just a confidence thing for me

I'm not sure if this will work for you but personally I store all my stuff in plastics totes like this. My plastics are kept in original packaging and put into the blue Rubbermaid containers at the bottom I have never had an issue with elaztech melting or mis-shaping in 2 seasons of storing this way

definitely got a good unit there im just not a fan of the menu system on the humminbirds

this year was the first year i had a fury and i can without a doubt say i will be ordering more, they are amazing rods i have not used the 3d max though so i cannot help you there, i would read all the reviews on tackle warehouse as well

i would try to go to a local place or even bass pro if you have one around and hold it and compare it to a daiwa lexa 300 if you can just for something in more of a low profile type shape and see which one is more comfortable

everything looks fine the only things i can think of are 1) it might be hard to work a popper efficiently on a moderate action rod (personally i use a 6'6"mh/f) 2) walking a frog on a 7'9" seems like it would be a little difficult, but this is also dependent on your height.

don't feel like you have to get a cardiff you definitely don't need a round reel to fish swimbaits.

water temp here is 35o and definitely not easy to access the deep parts from the bank but if you can do that and stand to fish slow enough you can get bit

i will definitely be doing this mike probably friday i will be sending my order to you

Finally got my baits in from Phil 2 custom painted lunker punkers

because the tackle shop wants at least some return on their investment and also need room for new stock. st croix only sells one brand and has a warehouse so space isnt a problem

well now i have to convince myself that i dont need a curado

how do you guys keep logs? do you write it down right after you catch a fish? or do you keep them in mind and write them down when you get off the water?

im assuming you are referring to the striker plus units that were release not to long ago, it has nothing to do with frequency but rather added features like quick draw

spro bronze eye or spro popper for me just cant beat them

you can buy casting stuff for finesse but it will likely cost you a lot more, the rod would probably end up being a gloomis rod (nrx comes to mind). you will also need to find a reel that can cast light weights probably an sv spool

i told you guys this a couple weeks ago tackle warehouse has them already

i have broken a few of them as well sadly because i was too impatient after a long winter to wait for the season

i would assume they are sealed and filled with foam i would think it would be counter productive to remove them because they are already a completed deck and cutting through aluminum isn't going to be the easiest. My thinking would be to do a storage compartment as i have put in the picture below depending on how deep the boat is you can create a larger deck and frame 2 plastic totes underneath and make doors to access them since it's 48" wide and a fairly flat bottom i would think its easy enough and it will give you more room to stand and store everything

So I'm going with the 5 instead which is only 400

up here its a little pricy if i want the sv i have to go with the 7sv and that will run me at least $650cad
