I ran a CloakTuck 3.0 for a while with my P-01 and it distributed the weight nicely. However I'm on to single clip kydex Dara's now.

Tatula SV.

The 1.5 in Cataouatche Special is my go to. Dont aleep on the Rapala Brat BX 06, great little square bill in unique colors and A+ depth.

Didn't it come out like yesterday?

I have a few and they're great. The 06 for its size gets deep quick and has great bouyancy to deflect off cover. I forget what it's called but the white craw one has been the best for me.

Are you fishing with EWG hooks? I ordered the 75X in custom bluegill and was a little surprised at how big it was. Haven't had any luck on it. I do really well with the 1.5s though, especially the chartreuse variants. I recommend the new Brat 06 too, great bait and the "balsa" let's it bounce out of a lot of heavy cover.

The SV makes light lures, skipping and finesse jigs silly easy. I've posted numerous times on here about how surprising it was. The Tatula SV is silly cheap on eBay right now, spring for one!

I wish it didn't have to end this way. Heartbreaking story. Prayers for his family and friends.

I bought an SV and by the end of my first week fishing it I bought another.

TW's 25 days has been absolute trash this year, and I'm sure their sales to date have reflected that. Aside from their Seaguar day, it's been a snooze fest.

I've got a garage full of KLXs. Probably my favorite rod in that $159-229 price range to date.

I've got a dozen or so Trick Darters, love the shape and action but you're right they all sink about 4"/sec. I've had the best luck when retrieving them without pause.
