Usually 2-3 rods for 3 different baits.

I wish there were more CO in NJ, people will take a fish the size of a guppy and most don't even have a license. In this day and age I don't like to confront any one about a license, since you could possibly lose your life over it. I am 70 and in NJ you are exempt from the trout stamp and license, you just need proof of age.

I was given this link awhile ago. Don't know if it will be of help https://www.pattayafishing.net/fishing-reel-line-capacity-estimator/

The Yum dingers seem to hold up better then the GYS. Just my opinion.

This what I use Cuda 3" Titanium Bonded Braid & Mono Scissor.

I just used one thin coat the wiped the brush dry and went over everything again.

Just one thin coat does it.

Went out today adjusted spool tension based on lure I was using, then set brakes at about 50% percent plus or minus. Casted had a small backlash adjusted the brakes until there was virtually none. Still using thumb, I don't think that will ever change. The more confidence I get the less braking I will need. LOL Thanks everyone for the help.

Welcome to my world

I have a Dobyns FR 705CB very nice rod for the price point. I mated it with KK Assassin and 12# Copolymer line.

When adjusting a bait caster do you set spool tension first then brakes or vice versa? I read doing it both ways, just looking for the correct way.

I also like to use the spin shot hooks, maybe more expensive, but easier to use for me.

Maybe $59.95 I would rather support the bait monkey

I have a Dobyns FR733C mated with a KastKing Assassin. Rod was on sale $109.00 and Reel was under 50 bucks. Just because it is a 50 dollar reel don't sell it short. Also KK makes reels that much more expensive.

Been raining here on and off for a whole week, now the humidity is here.

Plus right now 15% off coupon on the rods, not the combos

The link is working now

They seem legit, I never heard of them before

Good to hear that bass fishing is helping you.

I agree with @greentrout I purchased one of their Perigee II Ultralights, Not a bad rod for the price point.

I use magic eraser, didn't have to scrub too hard, then a very light coat of U40 Cork Sealer. I didn't feel any difference in the grip.

I use Deep Woods with 40% Deet, I also carry this in my work truck just in case I have to check some utility poles in tall grass and weeds.

I am using my FR703SF for T Rigs and Drop Shot and my FR733C for an all purpose rod, I also have the FR705CB and FR735C for froggin. So far so good

Yesterday the doc found three pre cancerous spots on my head, reminded me again to wear a hat and use sun screen. I should listen to her since I am outside with my job.

Yes it did Thank you
