For you guys that use braid and a leader do you cast the junction knot through your guides with no problems?

The wind has been blowing and it has been real tough to line watch. I got use to line watching when fishing weightless wacky worms, but the wind has made it real tough.

I caught 2 little large mouth dinks on it today on my lunch break. It seems like every time I catch one the ned rig is all the way in the back of their throat. I set the hook as soon as I feel something, but it does not seem to help.

Im still new at this fishing thing, but for the last few months I have been using a TFO Gary Loomis tactical edition 7'3" medium fast and a *** black 2 that is a 7'1" medium fast and they have been great for me throwing wacky rigged senkos. I won a little local kayak tournament last month and that was the only bait I threw. As a matter of fact the bass in my avatar was caught on the black rod with a wacky rigged weightless senko. I am really enjoying those 2 rods.

That settles it. Im gonna get it rigged up this weekend and give it a try. Whats the worse thing that can happen. lol

Thanks! Ya, I decided to scrap that idea and just use that rod for lipless crankbaits or shallow square bills.

You are absolutely right. It is a REGULAR action. I guess I just assumed that was the same as MODERATE.

Thanks for the reply A-Jay. i think I am going to quit trying to put this square block into a round hole. I am going to use that rod for something else and get a better rod for this application.

I just ordered 2 fiberglass rods from Tigerodz (who uses Batson blanks) and my next graphite rods will definitely be on Eternity blanks.

Im going to hijack this thread until the OP comes back. I picked up a Quantum Exo PT when they were on sale. Im going to try throwing the 4.8" keitechs on the Diawa Tatula medium MODERATE that I picked up on sale. Since it is a moderate action would you use braid with a fluoro leader so it has less stretch to compensate for the moderate action or use straight fluoro? It is rated for 8-17 lb test and 1/4-3/4 oz lures.

I just bought some keitech's and trying to figure out what would be best in my arsenal.

I fished when I was younger with ultralight and it was very fun. At this point I want to make sure I get the fish in the boat though. Lol

I think if people preferred B you would see a lot of light and ultra light combos on the water.

Very nice!!

I use an O ring, and it helps a little. Some people have posted they use heat shrink, plastic tubes, or straws with success.

I just ordered a custom rod today to throw my shell cracker g2 I just ordered. Should be ready next week.

I just bought one for $30 yesterday direct from them and it said that was the new price going forward.

I think youtube has taken over.

Sounds good. I appreciate it!!

Its not even black Friday and I am 3 rods in, 4 reels and took advantage of Lunker City's 50% off sale.

Mine feels the same way!

I have never used them, but I needed reels and the price was right.

I hate you. I ordered 3!!

I have 2 I just got from Cabelas I will sell you if you are interested. I have not even opened the shipping tube. I ordered them and decided to go a different route.
