all my rods are tierra rods. they are great for the price considering i am a college student. of course there is always going to be something better, but they have been good to me. Only one of them has ever broke on my but i was being stupid. Daiwa replaced it under the 5 year warranty free.

anyway to use the o-ring and ewg and making it weedless at the same time? just wondering, cause like an idiot i was catching fish on a senko this past tournament i was in and forgot to try wacky rig (probably would have caught more bass). but i like the idea of ewg hooks but where i was fishing was all reeds and garbage. just wondering for future reference.

thanks reel mechanic, i just never made the correlation between the lure weight and what my rods could handle. well i guess i will have to get another setup then lol. anyone have a good suggestion for a swimbait setup?

lol, thanks raul, you have been on top of my posts in the last 5 min. thats pretty awesome of you.

Hello all. i just got a huge wake bait but in my infinite wisdom did not mind the lure weight versus the lure weight ratings on my rods. so i have a 2 oz. wake bait but my beefiest rod (my flipping rod) reads .25 oz to 1.5 oz. so my dilemma is, should i tie on the wake bait anyway cause manufacturers under rate their rods? or dont do it at all cause i could mess up my rod and possibly lose a bait? thanks guys

thank you for the correction. could you recommend some split rings for me? do the split rings that come with the lucky craft crank baits tend to be mediocre ones? thanks.

Hello all. I noticed my last couple of fishing trips out that when i tie a crankbait on, my knot has a tendency to slide to the opening of the ring and on half the occasions, they start going under the openings on their way out to coming off the ring. how do you guys usually resolve this problem if there is a resolution? Ever since noticing that, i have used quick change snaps but for some reason i dont have much confidence in them. I recently purchased a huge wake bait which i think i am going to have to tie with braid (cause its that big and heavy) and am afraid especially with braid that if my tightened knots slip to the opening portion of the ring that it will untie or come off. so again i ask, what should i do about this? Thanks.

thanks for your reply guys, mods, can you move this to the bass club sections? thanks

there is none and i dont konw why. lol. anywho i am a graduate student trying to start a club up here in uf and was wondering if anyone else here attended this school and would be interested. The club i belong to is willing to help but i believe i also need students to become a member so this club can start to get up and running. Just shoot me a line so we can chit chat. I dont see why uf cannot become a major competitor especially since we have access to alot of great like and river systems.

I won't say that yet they haven't been out all that long, and I still think they have a weak spot built in, and Daiwa knows it. Again just MY .02¢ from the bench... Tight Lines!!! what weak spot is this? not lubing there reels from the factory lol. i still need to get mine serviced befor ei use it again.

is htere anyway to deter them? i mean sometimes to go to bigger bass, you go to a bigger bait (even though small bass will still try to get it). would you have to go to somethign rediculously big? i fished a tournament recently and had a bluegill take my gunfish. that just boggles my mind.

i do not konw how to add oil to the reel. is it as simple as just opening it up? reel mech told me not to with my viento so i figure the megaforce is the same way. thanks man

anyone here with a megaforce ever have problems with it not comming lubricated from teh factory? i was at a tournament and noticed mine started to squek and squeel and my boater told me that it was non lubricated like his was (mine is brand new and that was the first time it was fished). Just wondering.

This seems kinda awesome. do you think you would be able to make your own custom designs? if so how would you go about doing it? plus what if i wanted to add a uf logo on it, is that still breaking trademark rules or anything?

im sure this is not espn's fault. im sure there parent company disney told them to. so in actuality it is really mickey mouse who is hurting the coanglers. Im telling you, the next step is going to be disney and walmart merging and then taking over the world. it sucks they took the coangler out (event hoguh i dont belong to bass) but luckily there are so many other events out there that i can still participate in.

alright i dont konw if this helps, but i was at bass pro over the weekend and i tried on the newer pro qualifier. i know it is a new and different product but i figure there clothing sizes probably dont change (kinda like how every store has their own sizes i.e. a large quiksilver shirt is larger than a banana republic large shirt)). but i had to try one a 2xl jacket that fit comfortably cause the xl was small about the armpit area and some in the chest. Now i know our body types might not be the same but i am 5'10 with a thick neck, and large shoulders as well but also kond of a thick chest (cause of the shoulders). hope that helps

lol i jsut went to lineandlure.com and read its other uses. is it just me or does it also sound like i can also fix electronics, cure illnesses, and cure world hunger with the conditioner? i didnt know it had other applications too. and also i was looking at my bottle and noticed the way the edited the photo, i think they chopped off his arm lol. just noticing.

got myself a shiny new bottle. for those reels that are already spooled, would you say i should unravel a couple tens of yards and then spray down the line left over on the spool and use a rag treated with the conditioner on the line out while spooling it back? or could i just get away with soaking the whole real down and call it a day? thanks guys

thanks for the suggestion guys. i guess all that is left is to just practice on a local lake till i find something that works.

lol, so what are these magical brands that dont use o-rings lol?

thanks guys, i guess i jsut need to keep practicing with it. i figured they only grabbed one end and it just slid off. hey Brad, i am using the same hooks, when you go to engaged the wire for the weedless hook, you hook it onto the barb right? jsut wondering.

hey guys. i was looking through the senko faq and didnt see a topic for this so maybe this can be added. if not, could someone point me in the direction oh which topic it might be found under? Basically i am wacky rigging a senko using an o-ring and a gamakatsu finnese w.g. weedless hook (the largest one you can get). i was practicing with this rig and felt a couple fish take the bait. upon setting the hook, i reel it in only to find the senko gone, o-ring intact, and no fish. What would you guys do? after sensing the fish took the bait wait a tad bit so it could take the bait in more? try to cross its eyes on a killer hook set? put pressure on the hook and reel it in? I sarted thinking about it and also questioned if the size of the hook and the way it is parallel with the worm would impede the hook set. what do you guys think? Thanks.

hey bobby, i was lookign on the site and was wonderign if i ordered these, how many comes in a pack? is the price listed just for one jig?

hey great vid. I first want to say thanks for megastrike attractant, without it i wouldn't have been able to have the confidence and do what i did at my club tournament (1st place and big bass (biggest one i ever caught)). i invite you, bobby, to check it out in my post in the southeast forum. second, i was just checking out the jigs on your site and was wondering if the price listed is for one jig or a pack of jigs (and if so how many jigs)? thanks.

yeah the set looks nice. i recently purchased the reel for flipping purposes, but after my tournament, i come to find out some thign is wrong with the drag on it. even with the drag set all the way tight, it still has give on itthat shouldnt be there (at least compared to my other reels). i will be taking this back and see if i can get the 20 dollar discount that they are offering for it july 4th weekend. other than that, i dont have any complaints about it.
