Hey guys been reading a lot on this topic but am placing an order this week for some stuff and want a solid answer on split rings. I am looking to order a bunch of the owner split rings to upgrade a lot of my lures. I have a veriaty of crank baits but am mainly going to start with my giant collection of red eye shad. I’ll be doing rings and hooks. Question is what size split ring for the hooks and what size for the oval line tie ring?? I see mixed answers on these. Any input is much apriaciated! Mike

Thank you for all the comments so far. A couple things I had in mind of what I think I should do( let me know if I’m on the right path) st croix mojo bass 6’8 medium extra fast.. I plan to keep throwing wacky and drop shot along with a lot of the finesse stuff. Like I said this combo is power pro 15-20 backed with mono with 8 pound floro the 7’1 mojo mh fast - some plans I had where for cranking, spinnerbaits. This includes some extra deep diving as well. This is where I didn’t know what line? Keep braid with leader and if so what leader especially for deep diving. the 5’10 not all sure what techniques it is best suited for. I hear short rods are good for jerkbaits. Anything I should focus on? Last thought at the moment. One of my favorite things to throw are red eye shad 1/2. What setup would you prefer to throw these on?

Hey guys little back round. Used to do freshwater fishing when I was younger with my dad. Then I fished inshore saltwater in Florida during the summer for years. Been about 9 years since I touched a pole. Few months back went out and caught a lmb on my first cast. Since then the bug hit me and I’ve gone hard at it ever since. This is where my questions are starting. I picked up a 6’8 mojo bass with a ci4+ 2500. I currently have 20lb power pro and run seguar floro as leader. Been using this as an all purpose. Now Christmas came and the misses was very giving! She picked me up 7’1 mojo bass with a ci4+ 3000 which I was eyeing up and she also picked up a st croix bass tournament series that will be getting another ci4 2500 on it. I have always been a peer pro guy but now as I’m getting deep in the bass game I’m open to all kinds of different things and also will eventually start practicing some bait casting. But for now my questions is what line and what kind of baits would you throw on each setup?? St croix mojo bass 6’8 medium extra fast St croix mojo bass 7’1 meadium heavy fast St croix legend tournament bass 5’10 medium extra fast Thanks everyone one for the input. Love this site learning a lot.

Hey guys just look for some advice because I see it all over the place. I plan on adding another setup to my stable this week.My current mojo setup is a 6-8 mxf. I have been happy with the mojo bass lineup. Been doing research back and forth. I was going to pick up another mojo bass 7-1mh fast. Think I changed my mind to a legend tournament bass spinning rod. My huge conflict is m fast or mh fast? I see people saying the mh is to strong. This setup is going to be mainly lipless cranks. I throw a lot of redeye shad. I would also like to throw some other cranks with it. Going to be a more all around cranking setup if there is such thing. Thank you for the input, Mike

I'm still on all spinning. Atleast for now. I've always loved it.
