I use 6lb trilene xl. I’ve also used 10-15lb braid but prefer mono.

Mine are usually 3-4’ I just eyeball it.

My Dobyns furys are the same way. It’s normal wear and tear imo

How do you guys rig these for trout under float? I am fishing small ponds and lakes for stocked browns and rainbows 9-14”. Float with split shot then hook? Or float with a small jighead below it?

Same thing here in Southeast NY

I either use 50 for frogging and punching or 15 on my spinning reel...yes I keep it that simple

Yes i Use it for traps and shallow cranks especially around grass and cover

None. Berkley big game on my casting reels. Cheap strong and effective. I change it often

Tungsten! You’ll never go back to lead. Super compact and sensitive. I fish me pegged and unpegged never had an issue with line fray.I like the vmc ones

I figured it out when you take the spool off you are supposed to add the clear/white washer given in the pack right above the red one

I recently bought a daiwa bg 3000 for light saltwater fishing and having some issues with loading the extra spool washers to adjust line lay. With my Shimanos I just added the washers directly to the shaft and put the spool back on, not the case with the daiwa. If I put the washer on directly below the spool the spool does not sit properly. I know Daiwas are designed to have a reverse taper line lay (line loaded more towards top of spool) but it seems a bit excessive thanks

Dobyns fury 795 swimbait rod is what I use for wakebaits and magnum top waters. Generally the baits I throw on this rod are 2-3oz.

Dobyns fury 703

Berkeley big game $8 a spool. I use 20lb for my swimbaitS

Spawn is the toughest conditions? Not for me. Nov-March for me here in NY. I used to do real good in March, last few years not so much. I guess it has something to do with the unseasonably cold and snowy/wet march weather we’ve had the last few years.

Yah my bad. Haha was tired

Check guides for cracks and nicks. If the guides are fine I would up your line size to 10-12lb and fish mono.

Exactly. Daiwa magforce braking system is a lot less forgiving

Depends on the reel. if I do that with my shimano I backlash every time. I Adjust accordingly by bait, line type/size and wind; not a sound

When I used one the 7’ MH was a good spinnerbait rod. And the 6’6” M was a good squarebill rod.

Great weightless senko rod especially around grass

That rod is too soft for frogs IMO

this ^^ cant kill mine

Are you making sure the line is coming off the filler spool counter clockwise?
