G-Loomise 844C is all year all around rod for me here in SoCal.

I just post the cranking combo for my son, SLX glass rod and SLX DC reel, It is very nice combo, I love it. Check the pictures. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/247059-my-sons-new-crankbait-combo/

Got new combo for my son for cranking(I am going to use it when he is not) ?. The cool thing about this combo is the rod and reel color and pattern are perfect match.

I changed the fins, to outcast V shape. They are way lighter. pair of this weight same as one US Rocket. Also I have my mustang life jacket here it is 38.

Sell it/Gift it/donate it or toss it in river ?

I am expert in JDM shops, You can never find 50% SCAM

hear that from couple of die hard striper fishermans.

Just go with clear for Bass Large and small mouth, somehow if you go after striper, some swears by red line.

I am right there with you. But I am also fishing it a lot.

Ok I fill it up and put the box together. But this front rod have no way to get in there(I swear). Look the diference the size of rod and the crack.

Just got my first Float tube, Going to make updates here about it.As first impression I just need to say it is heavier than what I was thinking it would be, But the quality is very good and I can feel that is one heavy duty float tube.

Sunland FC100 leader is the best for this application. I do remember that there is another leader material that have same properties but I cant remember which one, The Important about FC100 is. The line is Fluorocarbon with all properties PLUS it is stretching and make it very good for hard lures with tribal hooks.

Ive changed to new braid only if there is new line in market and I like, otherwise I have braids I put on some reels 7 years ago and they are still good.

I really like them but for me it was striper lure, I start to use them for bass after Glens video on YouTube about them couple years ago.

The older Exsence I have(CI4+) is from Japan, This new one is one is from USA. BTW I paired CI4 with new 6'6" rod and new reel with my 7' Conquest. I did that because the new 2020 Essence is heavier and it will really balance my 7', and The CI4 2018 model is 55 grams lighter and it will balance my 6'6' rod.

I have 10lb straight Tatsu on my 842C, But 842 SRJ whole different animal. Stella FK is not here yet> I wanted to get Stella actually but I need to save money ?, I spend so much in last few days.

The 7' is 8lb InvizX I did that on my other set up, You right, ill do the same for this one as well, Thanks

When I was on the boat last time, I had dificualty for under-hand pitch casting with my 802SJR(7'), So I decide to get my second spinning setup, Same G-Loomise Conquest but 782SJR (6'6") and again paired with Shimano Exsence 3000 but this time HG and not CI4+. So my two combos are almost identical. I am thinking to spool it with 4lb InvizX all the way, Without any braid backing, Any thoughts?

Carolina rig as well, BTW I found pack of 100 in dollar tree store. Look for them there.

Plano Z-Series Waterproof Backpack I have two of them, as you can see it has space for five 3700(one deep and four normal size), very compact and high quality, Plus a true waterproof. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Plano_Z-Series_Waterproof_Backpack/descpage-PWPB.html

Thats the rabbit hole that I didn't enter yet ?

Last year I answer this by JIG, And still the same I never catch on JIG yet ?

This are heavy, Going to wear my wader and try them out'

https://www.fishfindermounts.com/product-page/5ah-gamin-direct-tube-mount-up-to-5-screens Got this one for mounting my fish finder. I am still waiting for float tube, They might arrive same time next week.

I am glad you didn't do this with it ?
