sorry it was Shimano, the one I lost: https://www.amazon.com/SHIMANO-0068-2692-Atad006Bk-Stainless-Power/dp/B01J6AV10W/ref=asc_df_B01J6AV10W/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312065559007&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18165072616031307199&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031158&hvtargid=pla-570418233544&psc=1

I had gamigatsu smaller size, it was very good till I lost it, and I got this one which I found is for bigger split rings, So make sure you get the right size, because bigger ones cant open up small rings easy.

if you want high end, I have this rod for few years and I cant say enough about it, https://www.amazon.com/World-SHAULA-Tour-Edition-1652R-4/dp/B00SZKVVLE/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=shimano+world+shaula+tour+edition&qid=1618836248&sr=8-4 if you want to go cheap but good rod, go with St. Croix Legend Trek, I have some for sale in Flea market also. Take look at it.Like new excellent condition.

I am full cork guy, But sometimes you don't have that option, Like my 908 Dobyns champion, or my spinning Conquest 842 that split cork handle. I really don't know why but I feel much better using full cork handles.

Shimano of course, And if I have choice ill go with DC first, But if for my application no DC available, I would go with MGL. Excence 3000 (Spinning) Antares DC 16 Antares DC 18 Metanium DC 15 Curado DC Aldebaran BFS Aldebaran 70 MGL Calcutta BFS Tranx 300 Antares DC 21 (I am on waiting list).

maybe its a question need to be answer from some site administers.

Daiwa J Braid X8 15lb will be perfect.

welcome to bass resource, no you don't need to, you can do it right away.

G-Loomis Conquest, You want to go cheaper, do G-Loomis E6X

There is a pond near my home, anytime I need some tackle ill go there to harvest LOL, I get lucky crafts jerk bait and lipless and bunch of crank baits , I am not kidding, every harvest is worth $100 plus. I don't name my tackle farm but you going to believe me.

I am planing to get a pot and mold for pouring weight, I need advice on both, Specially pricing. I am trying to make heavy weights out of Bismuth, Non toxic and eco friendly. Same thing works for Lead, Will work for bismuth as well. Please help me to get good brands for them to have longer life and also better result. Thank You for helping.

As uncle Roland always said, 297 only, works everywhere.

I did ned rig jighead twice, one time from the bend and one time from where shaft attached to jighead. those two where fish but I broke 7/0 mustard circle hook by a log LOL

welcome to bass resource

cant wait for mine, congratulations to you.

Use crushed bread, strawberry jello with sweet corn, mix them all and you’ll have best carp dough(secret is to use same lake water to mix them all). When you make your egg and want to push hooks inside, just put couple corns to the shank of hook. They are so fun to catch.

I have friend that he is carp fisherman and he likes that lake, also the lake is near my work, anyways I have that ear plug for emergency if I get to same situation again.

Thats funny, I just add this to my tackle box yesterday

oh he was looking for small ones

I only throw Huddlestone Swimbaits when it comes to boot tail, Get the 68. It is 6" and have tail of 8".

welcome to bass resource

Yup, And thats what we did, we wrapped up and left for the day.

Some kinda hip hop/rap, the kind that have no lyrics, Only F words and B words hahaha....

almost all my reels are JDM, they are very good specially the Antares line up. Go for it and you'll be happy fisherman.
