But for me I cast with right hand and retrieve with left, So I am lefty when it comes to fishing.

That is what I am planning to do, thank you for sharring.

Thank you so much Tom. I found it very interesting and I am sure something coming out of it, for now 4 days a week I am at Castaic, usually from opening to noon. going to do it soon, but Castaic is king of snag places.

thank you for strange yet effective tip, I am going to do it

I hope because I just got 20 of them delivered , going to start once my reel delivers next week.

I wasn't brand loyal at first but now only Shimano and g-loomis.

I just finish watching it for around 10 times, I cant say how timing was perfect, because I wanted to use weightless flukes, Thank You

I meant if there is no way to remove the hook, and in that case I think hook is way down there, going to read it again.

So if you cant get to the hook from under the gills, just cut the line and let it go, stomach acid will do the job, thats what I would do.

That was the topic I was discussing few days back when I changed my mind about getting Metanum MGL, what happened to me I used Metanium DC all day and make about 200 cast against the wind (the go home wind), and I never had single backlash let alone bird nest. in my idea if you can use the same reel with braid and fluorocarbon leather if applicable and it will change your life. it is my idea and I would like to share it with you. you can still play and use adjustments to your reels but that is what works for me. I hope it could be help.

WOW, That is incridable, Unless you see it. I am so glad it works for you and made me very happy about my purchase. I knew I wouldn't go wrong by getting it. Just unfortunately I am waiting for my reel to get here next week to spool up and hit the lake.

Shimano Sahara 1000 reel

Yes I tried but when I didn't get any just put them in my sons tackle box LOL. But this time I am going to go for it, whole day jigs, till I catch on it, also as it proven you'll catch big ones on it.

I am here to confess that I never catch any Bass(any fish), on Jig and Drop Shot. I know you will think I am crazy, but at first when I start I had no chance with this two technics, and I left it there. for me I'll get my hard baits especially jerk bait then crank baits and I'll get back to you with Bass. But I never, Ever had on Jig which is crazy. So last week I got some jigs from TW and now I am watching non stop tips about them and I am going to do it till I master it. Is there any technic that you didn't catch bass on yet?

I=I was amazed how a H power rod can be light. I am going to wait for reel to arrive from Japan, I cant wait to get on water with it.

It is here , And I found this YouTube link of my exact Rod. I am going to unbox it and send pictures after unboxing as well.

ok then it is good, see if it is fits your fishing lake. I have two rods, one on 16lb leader the other one 10lb all the way. good luck

Sunline Shooter 10lb test, going for tastu next, I hear so many gi=ood things about it.

Yes I believe it happened in some situation, ive had that exprience in Thailand and Philippines,if you throe anything with that hook you'll catch fish. but ive personally see the color diffrence, one day I was casting seiko 297 to spot of lake I knew there is big bass there, I didn't have any chance, I change that to another seiko same size but gray color, and immediately I got bites, few short strikes then I add treble trailer and I land her. I mean it is really about the situation.

I never done that, but I am sure alcohol and acetone will do the job, ill go with rubbing alcohol to be safe. the sharpies and markers are alcohol base ink.

despite some colors are to hooking fisherman not the fish, COLOR still very important factor. just couple days ago I was sending SP jerk bait and no bite, I grabbed it and use sharpie and make some CHRT/RED on it9as you can see in the picture), And man same place same time same retrieve action, same lure start to get bites lost 3 landed 3, (15" the biggest)

You are very right, thats is the reason beside being Fluorocarbon. Thank you

Thank you for the correction, thank you so much, I wasn't sleep good last night because of this , HAHA

I never have more fun fishing, than going to fishing with my son. BTW his PB in higher than mine LOL. Very nice catch, good luck young man and tight lines.

Bearing are not the same here, plus after reading your review I decided to buy the JDM, but still confused about the bearings.
