I use p-line cxx 17lb for leaders. I fish it hard! I was fishing heavy cover this weekend, pitching to the dead center of it and wrenched 2 fish over 6lbs out of it. Not saying another line couldn't have done this but for a line that's 10 bucks for 300 yards, it does awesome.

There are videos of how to set up a tatula with the magforce z brakes. You set them up completely different than an ordinary reel. Be sure to watch these before you take out your new reel. When you do it as the video suggests, you will get maximum performance out of your reel. Both pitching And casting. And even though the curado is the more expensive reel, I prefer my tatula ct's. There is just something about them.

Wouldn't include anything, but would exclude all buzzbaits, frogs, poppers, shakey heads, and senko style baits. Way too much money wasted on these baits.

There is no response to the curado, these reels are a million times different. The ct is a smaller framed reel than the plain tatulas. The type r comes in a 8.1 gear ratio left hand retrieve, and has a different drag knob and different paint job. The tatula sv is a reel with a shallower spool and can throw lighter baits easier. If you go in expecting your tatula to perform like a curado you'll be dissapointed, the braking systems, although both amazing, are completely different. Just my .02 since I own and fish both reels side by side.

I would almost bet there are over 200 per acre on average.

That's what my friend and his family use for crappie. None of them even know how to use a spinning reel. But it works for them. They also refuse to use any senkos..weird friends I've got!

This...actually have both for sale in the for a market lol

Nice! We estimated this one at 76lbs. He shot this one with his bow during a flood.

After 50 days in the NICU this little punkin' should be ready to come home this weekend. Fingers crossed!

This is a big head but they get huge! Note, guy holding fish is 6'4 230lb

This is probably my favorite fishing picture that I have on my phone. It is from this may when I landed my personal best during a tournament.

No, water was even lower than the previous week. Bright bluebird skies, but about a 15 degree lower temp change and probably 10 degree lower water temp change

Wow! Makes me wanna have a rod built. Less is definitely more in this build. Sweet setup.

They're not over sized, just different from what you usually throw. Research some of them and learn the technique and you'll be surprised what a "large" lure will catch

Well, we ended up pitching magnum rage bugs to the row of stick ups outside of the weed edge all day. And it worked! Took home first place and big fish!

I don't believe so. We literally catch hundreds if not thousands of bass on a white double willow spinnerbait every year in the same 65 acre pit. And have caught the same fish multiple different times in a year on the same bait in the same spot. We are fishing for animals that have a brain smaller than a grape, either they are active or inactive, want what bait your throwing or They don't. I don't believe they think "oh! George must be fishing, there he is throwing around his drop shot again, better not eat it!"

What he said but start with mag breaks at 0 when taking out side to side play

40lb minimum for frogging for me.

Falcon Bucoo sr. 7'4 heavy. Perfect for 3/8 - 1/2 ounce jigs

Won our fall tourney yesterday 21lb 13oz 3 over 18 inches, 3 under 18 inches (tourney rules) . Also won big bass. 6lb 11oz.

Brought home the win today in our fall tourney. Also got big bass for the third time in a row. 6lb 11oz

Always wanted to catch a smallie, none around here.

pike county. Open tourney. 5Am-5pm eastern time. Fish anywhere you want.

There is a giant thread about the "best" rod in the general bass fishing forum. Check there

Never fished at any of those. But I feel like if you had 14-15lbs youd have to be in the money or at least close.
