Kast King has a few line of rods from $24.95 up. Rods aren't too bad for the price point. I have a Perigee , Calamus and Speed Demon Pro. https://www.kastking.com/c/casting-rods_0386

Look at the new KastKing https://www.kastking.com/new-kastking-krome-salmon-steelhead-fishing-rods_p0216.html

KastKing just released a Speed Demon Pro Plier in 7"and 9" with a straight nose or split ring nose.

Yes they have, Manasquan Reservoir, Howell, NJ. they do not allow any swimming, wading and pets in the water here, Yeah right. I haven't fished here since the first out break now there is a second one. Better safe then sorry.

As others have said the tell tale line could be blocked, bad water pump or line is disconnected. Probably have to drop the lower unit unit again.

I agree with you. I am using 10# for my ned setup and 50# for froggin, No issues

I ordered some X Zone Ned jig heads. Look pretty similar to the Z-Mann ones. The price was good so I figured I would give them a shot. Also bought some of the offset Ned Rigs from Harmony. I will try just about anything

I am using a Kast King Calamus and Perigee ll rods for trout.

Should be around Labor Day.

You did a nice job on the rod.

I got a rod from Amazon, the tube was busted in half, to my surprise there wasn't any damage to the rod. This was shipped USPS. Also had rods shipped by TW and Academy much better packaging. TW uses some heavy duty tubes.

Did a search on finesse fishing, that is what came up . The internet doesn't lie LOL

Definition of Finesse Finesse presentations are for fish that, for whatever reason (seasonal pattern, lack of forage, etc.), are in the mood to eat. Unlike power fishing where you are trying to excite them into biting a bait, with finesse fishing you are trying to convince them that the bait is actually food.? I am using a Dobyns FR702SF with 10#braid and 8# FC leader. This is my NED setup.

Just like to report back that the KK 10# braid and 8# Segaur FC leader and the Alberto knot worked just fine. Nice casting and was able to feel the NED rig without any problem. Thank you for everyone's input.

I have 5 Dobyns and 3 KK, 1 Okuma, I like them all.

I have the 702 and 703 in the Fury line. 702 is my NED rod and the 703 is my jig/worm rod.

I have the same illness " see something say something" I'll buy it. ?

Thanks Hopefully I don't have to use it.

As others have send back to KK for warranty replacement.

I have a FR 735C very happy with it using with KK Speed demon and 50# braid with a mono backing. Works well for me.

I have been using 12 and 15 . I use the Palomar and Improved Clinch Knot. I haven't noticed any knot slippage.

I had 8000 bucks charged on my card to Groupon. The day before I was leaving on vacation , out of the country, glad we had another card.

The reservoir where I fish has been contaminated with with toxic algae bloom. "A confirmed Harmful Algae Bloom is present with levels quantified at or above the NJ Health Advisory Guidance,” a post on the Manasquan Reservoir Facebook page stated. The post warned people to not drink or make direct contact with untreated water. “Fish caught in this water body should not be eaten,” the post stated. “Pets and livestock should not contact or drink the water.” The algae can cause a skin rash if touched, and if water containing the cyanobacteria — also called blue-green algae — is consumed, it can cause abdominal pain, headaches, vomiting, nausea, blistering around the mouth and flu-like symptoms, according to health officials. Pets can also be harmed by the bacteria.

Getting off the topic what heads do you prefer?
