I just noticed that they were 40% off. That’s an excellent deal. You won’t find another rod in that price range that’s as light and sensitive, assuming that the new blanks are as good as the NFC blanks.

I have a MH Helium 3. Best jig rod I’ve ever owned. I bought it on sale a couple years ago for around $220 I believe. I have no experience with the new blanks but they’ve raised the price on them too much for me.

I use 7lb Sniper and I have no issues.

I’d find some rocks and throw a Spro Rockcrawler 55

I use a Uni knot with FC and I can’t recall ever having a knot fail. Also be sure that you wet it really good before you cinch it down.

I use straight FC for jigs, I like the slack line sensitivity it gives.

I use mine for shallow to medium diving crankbaits. Great rod for the price

I’d take the Alphas SV over any Tatula.

No small shops around here so I do all of my shopping online

Jig or a Texas rig

I’d recommend the pond prowler. I fished out of one for 5 years. They are four foot wide which makes them very stable. I never had a problem with wind in mine. I used mine on an 3100 acre lake regularly. I stayed back in the creeks mostly but when I wasn’t I’d just turn and face the wake if a big boat went by. Never had a problem. The pond prowler is also easier to mount a trolling motor to and you don’t have to worry about paddling . I used a utility trailer to haul mine though because I left the motor, batteries and fish finder on it all the time.

SPRO Little John and Rock Crawler have been working really well for me.

Cashion Icon 7’ ML.

I throw crankbaits all year

No braid for crankbaits. You want something with a little give to it. I use 10lb copoly.

Miller Lite no matter what season it is.

Worms- Berkley Power Worm, Zoom Ole Monster, Mag II, and Ultravibe Speed worm Jig Trailers= Rage Craw, Ultravibe Speed Craw and Missile Mini D chunk Dropshot- Zoom Finesse worms and Roboworm

I only like braid for frogs.

I’ve been doing really well with a Missle Mini D Chunk on a finesse jig lately.

I use 7.1 for bottom contact and frogs. 6.3 for everything else

I love mowing grass. I find it very relaxing

Crankbait for me all of the time. I’ve given up on Chatterbaits, never had any luck with them and they snag too much where I fish.

St Croix changed there warranty policy. You don’t have to send the broken rod back. Just pictures of the break, serial number and model number
