Where do you see it for 670? A google search shows it’s still 550 everywhere

Never had any shipping issues with TW. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to ship out but that doesn’t bother me at all.

I use a Uni knot for everything

Not fond of Dobyns rods braided line chatterbaits Senkos any type of finesse fishing

I held both them at the store. Went with the Vanford because of the weight difference. I did have to change my grip on the rod due to the short stem.

Zillion SV 7.1

Hard to beat the Tatula for $150

Sending prayers

Mine is adjusted all the way up in the pic I posted. Most of the time I lean on it but sometimes I’ll lower it all the way down and sit on it.

I use an adjustable 24-30 inch

I really like mine.

Up to 25 foot deep

Straight Flouro for me. No leaders

I have 3 Zillion SV’s on crankbait setups. I also have an Elite. I have no problems with distance using the Zillions. The Elite is pretty smooth but the Zillions are in a different league.

Kistler or Daiwa

Backing down the boat ramp is easy for me, I was backing hay wagons up into the barn when I was 14 years old.

I have no experience with the Expride. I do have a Steez Power Pitch and a Zillion MH. I am really impressed with Zillion. It has a great feel and sensitivity. I would definitely buy the 7’2 Heavy Zillion.

No headache for me. If you buy a good quality line it doesn’t need line conditioner and always wet your knots when tying.

My favorite jig rod is my Steez Power Pitch which is close to NRX money. Second favorite is my Zillion 7’3 MH

I would give Diawa a call and see what they say.

Crankbaits Jig texas rig worm

I just bought a 7’ M/R full cork on close out after using the OG version for several years.No problems with mine.

Bill Lewis Rattle trap for me. Most of my bass caught between 5 and 8 pounds were caught on one.

Anything finesse. I get bored too easy with it. Crankbaits are my best producers in spring and fall.

LMH Kistler Helium would be perfect for those.
