Yea I’ve caught multiple 4+ pounders at birchfield. Night fishing there is really productive

I’ve been to Laurel Acres a handful of times but haven’t caught anything sizable because it so pressured. I like the lakes by Birchfield way better. It’s right next to Laurel Acres but the fish are all big and it’s not the pressured.

Any good ponds near Voorhees? I don’t have a boat so I need to fish from shore.

Would you use tungsten putty if you were to tune a floating SS or only use tungsten when tuning a SK?

Thank you. I’m leaning towards the MH right now.However, I do have a 9” magslowl and will soon to be getting a deps 175. I don’t know how those baits will fare with the MH.

Is the Daiwa DX Heavy too heavy to throw 1 1/2 ounce baits like Gantarel jrs and s waver 168? I want to get a rod that can comfortably throw 1-4 ounce swimbaits but, I know rod companies exaggerate their weight limits. Am I better off getting a MedHeavy or heavy these baits.

Which is better for treble hook swimbaits. Cxx seems to brought up a lot but I’ve read that it has a lot of memory. That’s why I’m leaning more towards Izorline xxx or Big game.

Same here. I’m lucky to have caught a 5 1/2.

I’ll try. Thank you.

I already have one but the first two guides and the top three inches already broke in a couple months. Yea, I have all treble hook swimbaits right now. I don’t know if I want to go that light in line. I fish from the bank and occasionally get stuck in trees. I kind of need a heavier line so I can rip it out.

Right now I’m fishing a S-waver 168, Jackall Gantarel jr., and a savage gear 3D bluegill. I’m probably going to be getting a bbz-1 rat, iSlide 135, and a magslowl. Nothing too big just yet.

Thank you for the suggestions. But for cxx I’ve heard that you would need a bigger reel to hold the line because it’s thicker or some thing like that. Is this true?

You’re right. Maybe not up to 2.5. I’m just dipping my toes into swimbait fishing and trying to get used to heavier baits. I already have a swaver 168, a savage gear 3D bluegill, and a Jackall Gantarel. I’m thinking of getting a islide 135 also. What brand line do you use? And you SHOULD fish swimbaits on Fluoro right?

I follow his YouTube channel also. I like the look and the price of the Browser but I don’t know if it will be too heavy of an action for jigs.

I’ve been looking into getting a swimbait rod recently. The most weight I’ll be throwing will probably be 2 1/2 ounces. I’ve been eyeing the Daiwa Dx or the Savage Gear Browser. I have no experience buying a rod from either of these companies. Also, I would like to know if there is a rod that can double as a jig/swimbait rod. Preferably, 3/8 - 2 1/2 or something along those lines. Would a standard MH/F rod be able to throw a 2 ounce swimbait or am I better off getting a dedicated swimbait rod?

What rod did you get?

The guide that is in between the tip top and the third one is still missing. Any tips on how to fix that?

Alright, I know i’ve posted this problem earlier but now the situation is a little different. For you guys who haven’t read my previous post, the problem is that the first three inches of the rod broke off as well as the second guide down. However, I have managed to find the broken piece. It still includes the tip top guide.Would this make it any easier or cheaper to repair? Any help will be appreciated. Edit: BTW this is a Dobyns Fury rod. 7,3 Medium Heavy.

just wanted to try out some new baits

Oops, sorry but I forgot to mention that I still have the piece of the blank that broke off with the tiptop guide. If that makes it easier for anyone.

How much would it cost to send it back for a replacement? I’m not sure if I have any people who can repair it around me. Maybe DSG but I doubt it,

My Dobyns fury rod recently had the top of the rod break. i lost two guides and about four inches of the actual rod blank. Where should i go to get this fixed without having to replace the whole rod?

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Yeah, there's a lot of little panfish and the water around here is mostly stained.
