  1. I do the same, Except I dont use mono at all.
  2. I never know that they have such things, I always use Airplane life jacket out of my shop and they are very cheap and very light and you certainly can trust them as they are approved to be use in Arlines by FAA?.
  3. Personally I know about hollow core braid when I was deciding a line for my 14/0 for shark fishing. They are pretty much expensive(biggest reason that I didn't go by them). But there is so many benefits in having them and most important one is the line capacity, so if you use normal braid on my reel 125lb I can do 1500 yards but if I use hollow core it might do 2500yards even 3000 yards. So about leader, of course if you want to have leader you can do it very well with hollow core by splicing, But come on, really? I am just using good old trusty FG knot that I swear didn't failed me up to now. So I go with Nay on hollow core for bass.
  4. I just post that recently, I know what you mean. You can use Calcutta 100 or 200 sizes for that matter. I am using the BFS and they are the best for what you need. But how about you tell use why you looking for something like that?
  5. I had that problem with my website and my moderator fixed that in less than hour, I was thinking if it was the same in fishing and you could fix that 404 error in less than hour as well.
  6. they are not going tout your fingers, But sanding it like #40 or #60 sandpaper(feels like that haha).
  7. I am doing frog as top water. Jigging Soft Jerkbait and as always one Rod of spinning dropshot with me.
  8. I really really like him and I am so sad of his conditions. I wish he get well, I am hopeful always.
  9. Exsence 3000, I have it for few years now, It is working and looks completely like first day. I highly recommend it. The carbon buddies are lighter also. Read about the all models before you purchase. It is a $800reel in half price.
  10. I am using Calcutta Conquest BFS for my main BFS set up, This reel is a tank of BFS reels and I love it.thats the only round reel I am using for Bass/Trout fishing. The rest of my round reels for saltwater and catfish and carp.
  11. I did follow this video from glenn and now I feel I am tube expert :) in where you describing, I would go with weedless tube rig(3.5"). you can use no weight or use weighted tube jigs. https://youtu.be/EibSWhI6nbM
  12. No, I have CDC80XH 3 to 6oz, I am using it for frogging and also for Swavers and all the big Sebille for stripers. Anything below 6oz or 6" to 8" soft swimbaits like paddle tails and stuff. Anything higher than that ill use my swimbait rod.
  13. any picture?
  14. ill take better picture in morning light and share
  15. Thats what I think, since both of them cold blooded in some point the reaction to weather or moon phases will be the same.
  16. Guys I am about to share something to you that sounds crazy, I have a Carolina Diamondback Terrapin(turtle), Sometimes he is so active and eating food (live and packed/dry), But some days he is just In the corner and sleeping. I notice the days that he is eating and aggressive , I have bass bites as well and the days he is not eating, I also have no bass bites. Call me crazy or tell me it is coincidence , But is more like a pattern. Like last week till today he is really at corner and not in eating mood and I did catch zilch. If he is in eating mood he will eat up to 20 baitfish like creampuffs , But if not in mood, He will live with them for days and not paying attention to them. I was thinking that both of them cold blooded species and it can be related. Anyways if you read something about this or have info or idea please share. If not, Just disregard this post.
  17. I wish you could release him unharmed, coz he deserve it ?
  18. Stik O 5 3/4" the most identical lure to Senko with the same fall rate. you can give it a try.
  19. Hi, here is so many questions, Ill PM you and share you my exprience. Castaic is my lake and I have yearly pass, I visit about 100 times a year and rent boat only couple times a year. The rest I am fishing from bank. Tom is expert and if you lucky, he will help you and trust me he knows everything about SoCal Lakes.
  20. The only rod I have that they are exactly same power is my two conquest 842, I have casting and spinning. so when I bend them, they are identical about where they bend. also in fishing I didn't feel they are not the same. Only thing between them is the fact is one casting and the other spinning. but still I am going to do another side to side test with hanging 4oz weight and see how they both react and ill share it here.
  21. Shimano Chronarch MGL Shimano Expride That would be my choice. Good luck
  22. I also got sound last 4 times, I am only doing frog, I want to master it, So no frog bites for me. Next week I am going to have ned rig and drop shot as well to try to catch something and again ill start the frog.
  23. Thas sad that you dont like conquest and NRX, Both of them would be what you looking for. I have 842 SRG conquest and I cant ask for something better than that.
