Is the new CQ 100 smaller than the Calcutta Bfs? I just got the CQ bfs and now wonder if the CQ 100 would’ve been the better choice. Definitely getting the 200 for my glass setup. Thanks everyone!

Wow, that’s all i needed to see, thanks!

Hi, I’m looking to get a Shimano Calcutta Conquest to pair with a 7ft glass rod. I’ll be using it for shallow cranks, wake baits up to 1 ounce, and small swim baits like the Deps Slide Swimmer 115 and Gan Craft Jointed Claw 128…Which Calcutta would be better suited, the 100 size or the 200 size? I like to idea of the smaller 100 but I’m wondering if the 200 makes more sense…thanks!

I used to rely on the wacky rig before I discovered the ned rig...I did pretty well with the wacky rig, but I've had a lot more catches using ned. I also enjoy fishing it more than the wacky as I fish it a little bit faster.

Whenever I have a tough time getting a bite, no matter what the season is I almost always revert back to the ned rig...I can almost catch a fish at my local lake using this technique. If I can't catch one using the ned, I can't catch one that day...it really is my most confident bait to use by a mile. Near the end of August the bite dropped off on almost every other bait, but I could still land fish consistently using the trusty old ned rig. Now that it's cold, fish in my lake just aren't biting much of anything other than the ned...I typically catch dinks with this technique, though I have caught a few decent fish, though most are on the small size. That being said, they're still out there to be caught and the vast majority has been caught using this technique. I love the ned rig!
