ATA

that was a funny pose there, Great catches.

My Ned setup is Conquest 842C with Antares dc21 and tatsu 10lb line.

im going to get this one, thanks

I am arranging my soft plastics and I came across mine and I was thinking to take picture and share with you, This are some of my favorites.

Guys, What is the one every angler attaching to the wall and hang soft plastics and lure boxes? Please include amazon link as well. To be exact I want to apply that behind my cabinet door, So when I open my fishing cabinet, everything will be attached to back of the door.

I believe that 3500 size reel is like MH 7' Rod, You can use that reel for so many situation but it is not perfect for every situation. So if you going to have only one spinning reel you need to get that 3500 size.

I Just told you the spec so you get something like that in your budget, Any XH or (1oz to 3oz) rod 7'1 to 7'6. Any reel can handle heavy fish, I think Glenn talk about a quantum he using always that have 18lb drag and it was really good price. he using it in his videos on YouTube, you can look it up there.

I have special rod and reel for that, Tranx300 and st.croix legend terek XH(1-3oz).

My suggestion Shimano SLX Combo, 7' to 7'2" MH Rod ans SLX DC Relu and you'll thanks me later

That make sense, Very good point.

The promise I make is not buying with no reason, For example if got forbid one of my rod breaks, for sure I am going to replace it.

I promised that to myself ?

Guys, Today I am waiting for last rod I purchase in my life (I hope), I went to get the u-40 and get ready for delivery so I can apply it on my rod as soon as possible and can use the rod sooner. But I saw the color is somehow more milky, Please see the pictures and tell me if it is ok to use or I need to buy new u-40? I remind you again, I swear it will be my last rod and I dont have plan to buy any rod in future. I am happy with nearly 50 combos I have and I dont want to add any anymore.

I do the same

I have so many rods and reels like you, BUT unlike you I am enjoying every single of them

I start with frog, Then Jig then weighted T ring then wacky and weightless T rig and cranks and findlly if nothing, Ill cry out loud and get mt spinning set uo and I do drop shots ///;-D

Got that in marina, dont know the name, My other friend took it and set it ?

Of course all of them will work, This is some of my creek trout fishing lures.

I have this one, You can have both spinnerbait and buzzbait. https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Spinner-Bait-Organizer-3600/dp/B00469E980/ref=asc_df_B00469AX9O/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312830415552&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6915014600217077485&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031112&hvtargid=pla-595470477045&th=1

Here I saw great recommendations from fellow members replying you and all of them are good and proven recommendations. I would do the same and agree with them. Since you said you are braid to leader fisherman I want to share my experience with you. I was braid to leader(fluoro) on all my 10 set ups and reason for that was mostly backlashes, I had backlash with flouro always. after couple years and study and look after pros ive seen almost 80% of them using flouro and they use braid or mono on special application. So I start with 10lb fluoro on my 802 set up(medium power) and I really liked it, Now I am about to spool my MH set up all the way fluoro as well. and my large swimbaits rod and frog rod are all the way braid. so now I only have 5 rods with braid to leader, 3 rods(XH, XXH and XXXH) only Braid. and two only fluoro. Always remember where you fish most and how you fish. Is it grass? so you need braid to leader, is it rocks or open water ? you need to go all the way fluoro. sometimes you need to have very long leader of fluoro, Like my spinning set up, I have 15lb samurai braid and 10 to 20 yards of 6lb test fluorocarbon leader. I know you only have 3 set ups, But here comes the side effects of bass fishing, buying more specific combos for every situation. Anyways I hope I could be helpful for you to decide your choice of line. At the end, Yes I dont use mono at all, I use mono only on saltwater fishing.

Trilene XL is really limp, I use that for couple years now and it is really good.

Shimano curado, I really love it. try to read reviews and you will be agree with me.
