Shimano DC Models
Man I love that sound. I like smaller reels overall. How does the size compare between metanium DC and Antares DC? I have a steez SV which I love, wondering if I should switch? Anyone have both the steez SV and the Antares DC that can comment on pros and cons?

Shimano DC Models
I love the sound of the DC model. I want to try one. Right now I have some Zillion SV and Steez SV Reels. So I have a few questions 1) Anyone have both, how do they compare? 2) What are the differences of the DC models? I see a Curado DC, an SLX DC, and a Metanium DC? 3) Do they all make that sound?

Megabass P5 Destroyer vs G. Loomis Conquest
Overkill? What do you mean by that? Do you mean capable but there are other cheaper alternatives? Or do you think the CNQ line is more geared for bottom contact?

G. Loomis Conquest 843c vs 893c
I am looking to pick up a 3 powered Conquest. Which would you pick and why? I generally fish ponds, and smaller bodies of water - Def not a deepwater or lake/reservoir fisherman. That is the only thing I can say that may be relevant.

Bottom Bass Rigs
how many casts, how much time till you change technique? if you fish an area with no luck do you move to a diff area with same lure/technique or change technique or lire and keep fishing same area? if fishing bottom rig, with no luck, do switch to a completely different technique like top water or plug i want to catch more bigger bass and last year i caught some but had no idea what i was doing. I always associated bass with top water so that’s how i started in the summer all i threw, then i learned about texas rig and had some success with that, now i’ve learned a lot more but don’t know how to make sense of it all. i want to be more deficient and effective it now but the more i learn the more confusing it gets as to use what and why? thanks for the help, any other insight would be great.

Bottom Bass Rigs
I dont see the difference between drop shot and bubba other than the bat used. Hooks and weights seem to be the same, is that right? Why arent there larger drop shot hooks or weights? The largest drop shot weights I can find (i like the ones with the swivel so I dont have to tie it, are 3/0.

Bottom Bass Rigs
So I am new to bass fishing, started last year. I have fished my whole life mostly spinning and trout, never seriously focused on bass until last year. So I have some questions, if you don't mind, I would like to hear from you on all these questions and issues. Thanks in advance. Bottom Bass Rigs. So I've done some research and there are quite a few different bass rigs out there. Here is the list I came up with form reading. Ned Rigs - Weighted Hook, Bait stands up - appears lighter in nature maybe geared to spinning or lighter applications. Shaky Head - Weighted hook, Bait stands up, appears for longer worms and plastics than ned rigs. Rage Rig or Weighted hook - basically a belly weighted hooks with a plastic bait. Drop Shot - seems a lot of poeple prefer to use on spinning gear Power shot or Bubba shot - super sized drop shot (but to me it seems the only thing that changes is the size of bait) Wakcy Rig - weightless worm hooked in the middle or with o-ring Neko Rig - wacky rig with a weight pinned to one side. Texas Rig - We all know that Free Rig - Similar to Texas Rig with a O-ring weight instead of a slip weight. Supposedly allows weight to move free-er. Carolina Rig, Basically a Texas rig with the weight pinned ahead of the bait at a fixed distance Punch Rig. Basically a beefier Texas rig with the weight staying put at the tip of the bait, with a bobber stop, and used to punch through heavy weeds. Jika Rig - Basically a drop shot with the weight attached to the hook directly instead of below it Tokyo Rig - Simialr to Jika Rig, with the weight dangled below by a short wire. 1) Are there any others I am missing? 2) How do you determine when to use what? 3) For each one - do you prefer to us on spinning or casting gear AND what rod power? 4) Which of these work the best for you? 5) Which of these do not work in your experience? 6) Anything else I should know about these or others?
