New to bass spinnerbait fishing
I’ve only been fishing spinner baits since this spring and the z man ones have out produced others I’ve tried so far. The bluegill and spot remover work the best for me. In the dirty water the strike king midnight special works great. You can run that one so slow it’s unreal.

Nice job, is it possible for me to get into making jigs/ spinner baits without pouring my own heads. Just to play with over the winter.

Thoughts on two setups
Yup, with 30# braid.

Those White Rods
Me to, I think I’m gonna stick with them for a while. I love the combo with the currado.

Thoughts on two setups
Try going down to one break. 2 on the bottom and spool tension as needed. I can easily cast a weightless six inch u tail worm 40 feet on a 6’6” mh. I know that’s not super light or ideal but it gets it done when I only want to bring one rod.

Casting rod newbie experience, Curado DC
It took a little playing around when I got mine. I casted a few lures off. I found the spool tension wants to be a little tighter then you think. Put it on the setting they require for the line your using. The distance difference is not as big as you would think from the k. But it is effortless consistent distance. This is only my second summer using casting gear so at first the distance difference was noticeable, not nearly as much now. It’s still allot of fun on a crankbait rod or for any moving baits. That’s where I think it shines. Love to hear it sing.

Nice find rekindled old memories
Good score. Sorry about your neighbor.

More versatile spinning rod
I think a 6’6” medium fast spinning is the most versatile rod there is.

What a morning!
Good for you man, sounds like a good morning.

As a lefty if I get a right hand reel is there any reason I need to switch hands after casts?
I’m a lefty, cast left reel right. Casting and spinning. Feels perfectly natural.

School me on swim jigs!
I just started playing with them myself I have a keitec one I use with kietec trailer. Ran out of trailers and used a rage craw and still caught fish.

Dragonfly Lures
I had the lunker hunter one. It was terrible fell apart after a few casts.

Looking for a wake bait.
I have the 30 and the 40. I love throwing them just haven’t caught anything with them yet.

How would you feel about this situation?
That’s a real bummer. Not sure what kind those are but the look pretty big. There’s something different lurking down below.

Looking for a wake bait.
Thanks for all the info guys. Nothing new really struck my fancy. I have a couple of the rats and the egg. I ended grabbing a few replacement spinner baits, some more rage craws/swimmers. Some heads for them and the Berkley version of the shower blows. Nothing exciting.

Looking for a wake bait.
Heading to bass pro to spend a gift card. Gonna grab some plastics and for some reason a wake bait is on my mind. I don’t know why it works that way.

Strike King Rage Tail Craw Alternatives
I don’t care how much they are or what else works as good. I’m happy to buy a couple packs any time I see them. The green pumpkin purple seems to work best for me, but I’ve tried to force the blue sapphire just because I can’t walk past it.

Best Reel for new Rod - maybe Curado DC or something else?
I have the both the k and the dc. The dc is definitely better on moving baits where you want to cover water.

How does a medium casting rod rate with you guys.
Lol
