My 7'3" MH Fast is great, got it at shelton's clothing online for 100, saved 30$. not ideal, but its what i use for that 7.3:1 smoke pt 30 pound suffix 832 props should use 50 pound

good luck rapala is a classic!

Big Bite Baits has a pretty good swimbait use 50 pound braid and a game weighted superfine hook

are you using a spinning reel if so use a 'caster use a swivel use braid as mainline

weightless 15 pound flouro weighted 50 pound braid

i like a .25 oz swim jig, strike king pro model, will cast on heavier rods if you use a trailer. I like 3/8 oz war eagle flipping jigs, but that will vary. .75 oz football head jigs .5 oz+ All Terrain Tackle grass jig remember heavier lures fall faster, good in deep water, but will not catch smaller fish, use light wire hooks without braid, heavy gauge with braid. its really up to you Jigs Jigs Overview There are many types of jigs, and it can get confusing. Typically, jigs look like crayfish. As you know, swim jigs look like baitfish. They are affective allayer long, and can be found on almost any angler's rod who is worth his "two cents" all year round. Especially prominent in the winter and summer months when bass become lethargic, are jigs. Just as one would use different crankbaits in different situations jigs are the same way. Certain jigs strive in certain areas where others do not. Jig Types Football: Ever try to roll a football to your buddy? Chances are it didn't roll straight towards him. Football jigs are designed to roll like them on hard ground. The "wobble" makes it look more realistic. They usually have a horizontal line tie. Grass: Designed for heavy cover and vegetation, grass jigs are designed to be completely weedless. Usually have a vertical line tie and thick weed guard. Flipping: Most similar to a Grass jig, these jigs are designed to be placed into thick cover like wood piles. they have a very thick weed guard and line tie will vary. Skipping: Designed with a flat bottom, these jigs are designed to be skipped into cover with an under-hand cast, similar to the action required to skip a stone. Rock: Specifically for not getting wedged in rocks, they have a wide, flat head and will come through rip rap (rocks) with ease. Shakey: A go-to finesse bait for many anglers, the shakes head is a round jig with a flat bottom. It is designed to stand up. Try a 4-6" finesse worm. Punching: The most heavy duty jig made, it will come through almost anything. consists of a tungsten or lead cone with a skirt and extra heavy-duty hook. Swim: A swim jig is built with a hydrodynamic head designed to cut through the water column. Most swim jigs are designed to looked like baitfish. Whether that is shad, perch, bass, or bluegill, all are very affective. Just like a jerkbait, swim jigs can be fished a variety of ways. Experiment with multiple methods to discover the best technique for you. One method is called a straight retrieve. just reel it in consistently to keep it a desired depth. You can also try lifting your rod about a foot and then reeling in the slack. This will create a rise-and-fall action. Bladed Swim Jigs: Basically a swim jig with a metal blade attached to the jig head. the blade creates vibration when retrieved. Will work well in dirty and clear water. Jig Tips Rod: 7'2" MH for MOST applications except heavy-duty stuff. Will work well in 3/8-1oz jigs. longer rod helps with cast distance and hookset. Reel: Any bait caster with at least 10 pounds of drag will be fine. Slower gear ratios will ensure that you do not reel too fast. Faster gear ratios will help you take in line faster. Line: 12-20 pound fluorocarbon is best in clearwater situations. Low stretch and visibility. 15-30 pound braid. Smaller diameter and high strength are positives. When using braided line, be sure to use heavy duty hooks, as it will compliment the no stretch qualities of the line. Color: Perhaps the most confusing aspect of jig fishing. In clear water, natural colors will work best. Bright and dark colors will be best in stained waters. Trailers: Try to match you trailer with your jig color. If you can not, try to match the opposite. Written on May Fourth, 2016.

same, although i used scent and it worked three times this year, i tried doing it last december and waited 4 hours in the snow with no bites

you can't say the name here http://www.***.com/13_Fishing_Omen_Black_2_Spinning_Rods/descpage-CRB.html

$110 is my price point, and I'm already settled on the brand, just wanted to know which would be better

wow! that must have been fun!

Yeah it was pretty dumb!

Thanks, i am probably gonna replace a lot of my gear, i want to look into the ci4+

sorry I was mistaken, i was talking about the LE!

Anyone have something to say about this reel?

i am assuming it was used

thanks

same here, except i was on a boat in december trying fish ON TOP OF the ice!

I have been having issues with the Tournament ZX Rods. I want to trade in my current setup ($160-180) and my copper river combo ($70). I would most likely get a $110 rod. That gives me just enough to get a stradic for $150 I would also put 15 pound test yellow braid 125 yards with an 8 pound leader I will have another setup as a backup. I already own that. anyone know where i can get a new stradic ci14 for about 150?

Looking at replacing a spinning rod. Rod 1 is 6'10" ML extra fast action. rod two is 7'1" M fast. Rod 3 is 7'3" M fast. I will use this rod for all spinning applications. I really like the dropshot. I also primarily fish from the bank, so a shorter rod might be better. i don't fish a lot of tourneys. I like the first rod, because i can use it for light baits, trout, and more of a fight. THANKS!

i never thought 1/16 oz weights were that small LOL

ok, i panicked because i don't even have money to buy 10 dollars worth of tungsten i could see that getting expensive real quick!

cool!
