That's weird never had any problems with the micro guides on my Duckett could be the rod you're using keep u's posted.

Shimano Casitas is a great casting reel definitely recommend you get one. Or a currado I is also a good reel. It's hard to recommend an all around rod for 100 buck's but if you spend a little more the st criox mojo 7 mhmf covers a lot of situations.

The more expensive one is always the best one. jk I have no idea. But either one is a bad a** reel. I wouldn't mind being in you're predicament rite now having to choose between the two, life is so tuff sometimes.

Get the verritas you won't regret its great rod. Specially for 65 your getting a 100 dollar rod good quality.

Secret 7 and circle hook's !

Leader and weight depend on the conditions but the stocked fish I catch in the ponds or "lakes" around here I use 1/4 ounce slip weight or lighter, leader depends on the condition, again, and size 14 treble hook with power bait doe.

Awesome. Thanks for keeping us posted man.

Hey look at the Brite side now you get to shop around for a new rod.

Never used it never heard of it if I did I don't remember but the way your talking about the bait I'll probably check em out now for sure.

Agree best lews is no lews get a shimano

Never say never

Sometimes hatchery fish won’t commit to a lure but they chase it try power bait doe that will catch them for sure.

Whatever you decide it’s going to have to be a soft plastic and your going to have to fish slow wacky rig senko would also be a good approach. Dead sticking.

Rage menace weightless

Striper took my ugly stick and abu Garcia cardinal spinning reel many years ago rod slipped from my hands when I slipped in the water.

Wow the resale value of the tatulas sure went way down.

P-line cx premium

Burritos is a staple for me when I fish three bean and cheese from Taco Bell or dell taco usually with mild hot sauce or sometimes my wife makes egg and potatoe burritos I drink water most of the time.

River 2 sea sure made a boat load of money on the plopper I bet.

What site do you go to for resizing I was able to post easily from my phone now it doesn’t let me.........never mind figured it out.

Red eye shads are effective and aruko shad but my favorite is the cotton Cordell super spot. I have never had any luck on the original rat L traps either.
