I have had no problems with 20lb Smackdown and 6 or 8lb Blue Label or 8lb Tatsu for leaders. Use this on all my 2500 Stradics and NRX spinning outfits. Super sensitive and good knot strength

Al Engling with Hawkeye Custom Rods does a great job

I think they are wearing masks

I bend the barb down and you really don’t lose fish this way

Thanks a lot guys. And I do have good electronics, 2 HDS 12 Live on a 619 Ranger. And will be there for 6 days

Going to be fishing Hubbard lake late August and early September. Never fished this lake before just looking for suggestions. Thanks

20 lb Smackdown to 8 llb floro or mono leader. 832 in 10 lb is good line but I like Smackdown better

I’m trying it this year. 10lb 832 with 12lb Advance leader. Read David Fritts articles about using it

Stradic 2500fk and a Stradic 1000

Been using 20lb for 2 years now on Stradics and it is great to fish with. Great feel and casting distance plus eliminates line twist

I have a Loomis GLX 821 shr that is really nice for this

I use GLX 822 syr and NRX 852s JWR both with 20lb Smackdown or 10lb 832 with an 8lb floro leader. Works well for me

I think you would be surprised as to how well it works with 1/8 and 3/16. I have done a lot of bait checking in my pond to see how well it works with different baits and in my opinion it fishes a little heavier than a 1 power since it is in their JWR series

I just got the NXS 901s JWR and Stradic FL 3000 and its pretty nice. 1/15 oz ned head and Z Man craw, handles it very well. 3 pond bass yesterday in cold water when nothing else worked

Can't go wrong with a Loomis 852 in whichever model you want price wise and the 2500

check Secret Lures stupid tube

NRX 852c is pretty sweet for lighter jigs and worms also weightless Senkos

I’m using Loomis GLX 821 and 822 shakey head and NRX 852s JWR all work great and 821 should work well for trout. Using 20lb Smackdown with leader. Have fun John

Black 5” Senko for both

Catch lots of largemouth on 3.5” stupid tubes

Check Kuiu or Sitka website. They make high end hunting clothes and some really good base layers and layering clothes. Duluth Trading also has some good ones

What is your favorite jerkbait rod for 110s and LC 78s and 97s

Is anyone using a G Loomis NRX 802c jwr for jerkbaits, if so how do you like it

Carhartt Rain Defenders are pretty nice and around $250-300 for jacket and bibs

Gamakatsu 3/0 offset won’t miss them
