Born 2 fish

I have a few I catch more on the 90 and 110 so I don’t use the 130s often.

I agree about 4 lbs

Welcome Brandon. One thing about Florida is any retention pond there could have a giant swimming in it .

Don’t give up on them I’ve had some great days with a bone color 90. Actually had a giant bass pull the split ring off the bait and I caught probably 50 over 3 pounds that week I was in Florida on that one Bait.

You paid 25 bucks for a whopper plopper?

I use a 7’ medium bps crankin stick for walking baits and chug bugs. it loads nice and keeps them pined. I also use the same set up for jerkbaits.

Want a cheaper option try a bass pro cranking stick in 7 or 7’6 mh.

You could tow that it’s nothing. No different than having a 200lb passenger

I don’t like it I get more wind knots with it.

I throw a lot of pad crashers and live target. I mainly only use black,white & brown if I’m not getting bit on those colors. I stop frogging and go to something else.

I would recommend humminbird 2 helix 7 or bigger depending on budget. You could get a side imagining unit at counsel and a standard helix sonar at the bow and share side images data to the bow with linking the units together.

Kayak I got mine on a Black Friday sale for 180 bucks. Or you can keep your eye on marketplace and Craigslist.

I sent you a message.

Also the arid x has a soft tip my 7’3 mh seems more like a moderate medium.

There is no comparison between the two I have a few og tatula rods and just got a arid x. The og tatula is a awesome rod the arid x is a good budget rod but nowhere near a og tatula.

I just ordered a 10’ bass raider today.

I went from a 7’ m/h to a 7’2 heavy and have not had a problem. I like it much more I use 15lb fluorocarbon.

Should be good I use the super duty wide spool.

It could be the anti reverse bearing or it could be normal if it’s not moving a lot. You can contact Lews and tell them what it’s doing. Might have to send it in for service.They have great customer service but I think they are still closed due to covid 19.

What model reel is it?

I think your just about spot on only thing I would change is the line I’d go to 14 lb line I like suffix siege.

I really like my dobyns 795 I throw spro rat 50s 9” slammers basically up to 3.5 oz baits.

I use a 7’ m/h moderate now but wanting more distance I’m thinking about going to a longer rod. like a 7’6 or 7’10 m/h cranking stick. I usually throw a 1/2 oz bait on a bb1 6.3 with 50lb braid.

I use a 7’2,heavy for jigs c-rig buzz frogs.

Your gonna get a few different answers. But I’ve had great success with the alberto knot.
