Same here. In the winter you can't throw a jerkbait without getting bitten off. I've used wire leader but then the bass won't bite the lure.

I really like my tournament mb also, it's my favorite reel. I got the tournament sk at a heavily discounted price and I have grown to like it.

I really like my tournament sk. Even though it's doesn't have an aluminum frame it is still a really good strong reel. The reel cast really good even with lighter weight baits.

Yep. I like target casting square bills and using X raps with a rod under 6'6" to avoid slapping the rod against things

I almost got spooled by a 40lb blue cat while on the Potomac river.

Carp are fun to catch on light tackle , also cat fish especially big blues and flat heads on bass tackle. But I would have to say my favorite is the snakehead. They're fun because they attack top waters and they pull like crazy when they get big. On August 21 I was at the Potomac and caught a snake head that weighted over 13lbs while flipping grass with a pit boss

Can't remember who but someone on here still has you beat. The catch was about 1/4 inch

Skip them under anything you can. Also try fishing them with a soft jerkbait like retrieve

The bps crankin sticks are a mix of glass and graphite, so even though they are rated as fast action, because of the glass it has a really moderate taper and they are true cranking rods

Looks go to me, I have a few crankin sticks and love then for a lot of applications, not just cranking. I like my MH cranking stick as a spinner bait rod as well as cranks really big jerkbaits
