I have a hoard of the 3".I'm going to buy as many as I can find.The Powerbait ones have that stink.Ill try them when I run out of these.Hopefully that won't happen.

IPT is more important than ratio.my 7.2:1 Curado is slower than my BPS PQ. 7.1:1.

56.73

I've said it before and I'll say it again.And probably a few more times.also never start a sentence with And.The Abus fish heavier.My 7 MHF Is a my frog rod.Broomstick delight.I love that thing.Its down to a 6'8" since I've broken it twice.1st gen not the 2.0

Step it up to 40# braid.You'll see the difference.I assume you not throwing 20# on a super shallow spool. Just got 13# defier for my topwater setup!

Shadow rap,DT fat,husky jerk

I guess what I call flipping is pitching without holding the bait in my hand.

I definitely wasn't pitching

My local BPS usually has the 100 yd spools for 13 bucks.They bought them all up

GREASE on the levelwind/gears.Oil on the bearings

Up in the Northeast its black,blue and any green variation.Love me some red flake though.

No way that guys in high school ? Mass state record of just under 16 I believe.Biggest I've caught was 7 and that was out of a small pond.I can't imagine pulling a 16.I was shaking like a leaf with the 7.

"Need" is a very subjective word.Like I need food a water,but I NEED the Curado 70

Sometimes when the bite is slow the turtles like to chase my frog around.So I catch myself playing fetch with the turtles for a half hour. I also have a habit of catching bullfrogs with the pad crasher.Cannibalistic frogs

"Boat Gorilla" I smell a new thread!

I spooled the rest of my PP from my Orra winch to my PQ so I could use the faster reel for frogging and use the winch for cranking.I sense a new Falcon Bucoo in my future.

Yea its the same exact thing Pond won't freeze out here.I may take the new reel out for a test drive and get it dialed in!Not sure how much action ill get flipping and slow rolling some jigs but a man has to try.

I got this V&M slip n jig in my LTB a few months back I haven't tried out.Its either 1/2 or 3/4 skirted Punch weight.I don't know if anyone has tried them.Basically a skirted heavy t-rig.

Yep×3

Metal.Not plastic

The 832 was actually a dollar cheaper

I thought you had it on a dinner plate for a second! Nice fish I thought it was on a dinner plate for a second! Nice fish.

That thing is pretty cool looking

BPS was out of 30# PP small spools and didn't feel like dropping 50 bucks on 500 yds. So I picked up some 832 for a change.Never used it before.Any pros or cons to the 832 or is it pretty much on par with the PP?

Do you throw all 4 internals on or do you leave a couple out? What's the lightest bait you've thrown on it so far?
