I fish crankbaits a lot. I’ll usually throw 2 different ones and if I don’t get bit in a hour or so, I’ll slow down and throw a jig or a worm.

I like my 5.5 Zillion

Same price now as it was a few months ago when I ordered 3 reels from them.

I ordered a rod back in February and it was shipped USPS. Tracking said it was supposed to take 4 days to ship but it took 30 days. Had a couple of packages make it to my local distribution center and tracking say out for delivery, then the next day it’s in another state. Fed Ex is just as bad. Ordered a couple of Mustang PDFs and they were shipped separately. Received one of them 3 days later but never received the other one. I called Fed Ex and they lost it so I had to get a refund.

50 lb braid for frogs 12 lb copoly for top waters 10=12 FC for everything else

I’ve tried several brands of long sleeve sun shirts and I burn up in them. It’s shorts, short sleeves and flip flops for me.

I think it helps me catch more fish because of the slack line sensitivity. I’ve caught fish that I probably wouldn’t have detected the bite with mono or braid.

Just one. Zillion SV 5.5 for deep cranks

Fulton has went out of business. Was told this when I ordered my new Phoenix

I have that model Tatula. It’s one of the best shallow to mid crankbait rods I’ve ever used.

Picked up my new Phoenix 819 ZXL today. It’s my first glass boat and can’t wait to get it on the water.

I have 2 of them. Swapped spools with a SV in one of them on my pitching setup. Really nice reels. I also just bought 2 Steez A2’s. So far I haven’t noticed much difference performance wise between the Steez and the Zillions.

I had about a foot of keel guard come loose on my Tracker. I used 3M 5200 and cut 2x4s to hold it in place. After that dried I ran a bead of clear Marine Silicone around the edge.

I put them on my Tracker 175. It was a great upgrade
