Has anybody tried these yet? I notice they've introduced some new colors (on TW at least) and now they've really piqued my interest.

If you only fish muddy water, eh. Much better options. If you're fishing water with decent to great visibility, absolutely.

If you're not planning on ripping them thru much grass, I'd go with the medium. BTW the medium's action is mod-fast I believe.

I think they got it from Redbubble.

Curado K (7.4:1) on my main t-rig rod and my jig rod and the previous Curado model (Curado I in 7.2:1) on a different t-rig rod. I usually spray a little KVD line conditioner on the spools the night before. Tho it's not always necessary, especially if you're doing close distance pitching/flipping.

Yup. Same here. I use 16 lb Sunline Sniper and love it. David Dudley recently did a demonstration on braid vs fluoro on slack line.

Speaking of...I got this as a gift the other day. *Disclaimer-this is not me*

Ideally you want fast or extra fast action to drive the hooks home on a T-Rig.

If I'm fishing deeper, or in current, I go with the heavier head. Shallow water, 3/16.

Ah, yes. I was thinking Big TRDs. For the Giant, or Gambler Fat Ace, this is the head I use. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Nichols_JT_Magnum_Weedless_Ned_Rig_Jig_Head_3pk/descpage-NJTMW.html

This is what I use. Either 1/10 or 1/6, depending on depth. Weedless version if fishing around cover and no weed guard if fishing rock bottom. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Z-Man_Weedless_Power_Finesse_Shroomz_Jig_Head_3pk/descpage-ZMWPS.html BTW, you can always pull the weed guards off if you want some with no guards. They come off easily with a needle nose.

I always wonder what happens to these reels if the microcomputer in them ever goes out. Then what?

How much do you wanna spend? I recently got the Megabass Orochi Diablo which I plan on using for swim jigs. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but in hand, this thing is awesome.

Very intrigued by this stick. That handle has me wondering how it's gonna feel in the rain, tho (just looking at photos, have not held one yet).

I agree. Very nice rod and nice craftsmanship. I bought one last year as well for froggin'.

Sportsman's Outfitters has the Tatula casting rods on sale for $99.99. Regular $149.99.

Those Rebel craws bring back some memories. It's been years since I've used them, but I used to all the time.

I've been using this Lew's rod and really like it. The 7'6" model. TW has it incorrectly listed as a medium but it's actually a med-heavy/mod. fast. Lews Custom Speed Stick Crankbait Casting Rod https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-LEWRODS.html?from=basres Have it paired with the Lew's BB1 Spped Spool in the 5.1:1. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-LEWREEL.html?from=basres Most of my reels are Shimano and Daiwa. Last year I purchased this Lew's reel (my first Lew's) and man am I impressed with it. I found it much cheaper on another site, tho.

Where'd you buy from? They're $29.99 on their site. I think my most expensive is around $60. 6" Bull Shad.

All good choice/ideas. This is what I've been using for years.

Especially with these guys roaming your waters. I've spent more dang money on baits because of them. Got this guy this fall on a Red Eyed Shad. No idea how it didn't bite me off. Even had the bait way down in it's mouth.

Get the heavy. They run a little slower than other brands.

Yup. This is exactly what I did this morning.

Also, 6th Sense hooks are sticky sharp. Lots of companies you have to change the hooks out.
