Is it ok to use a Med Mod Glass to troll? or should I go to Med Heavy Mod glass rod?

Buy American only.

UL rods usually tire the fish out to much and when you think the fish is revived you release it and the current is to strong usually and the fish will get pinned and drown or belly up, I've seen happen to many times, so I went to a light 6'4 fast action panfish series rod from st criox 1pcs and haven't seen it happen yet. Now with that being said st criox has upgraded there rods and made the rods stronger in the back end so could now probably go to there new Ul rods trout or pan fish, I like the panfish a little better.

Handle isn't carbon, you can't beet the 25lbs of max drag, most reels don't even come close to that. Same features except the jeweled pin and the handle I think. I use the smoke s3 8.1:1 for flippn, pitching and froggn.

Perfect on mine, most solid or durables reals I've ever used, you can use for just about any dish even salt water.

I use a st criox 6'4" light power, fast action panfish series 4lbs floro or mono suffix advance. Good for tight stram areas and good for long open cast and very sensitive with a backbone also, great bend to fling under docks or tight areas, over grown trees etc

Yeah, I have two smokes and two tours and the tours are smoother. But I like them both if I would choose it probably be the tour, unless your need an 8.1:1 then you have go with the smoke because they done sell the in the tour model.

Yeah my favorite reals own 2 smokes and 2 tours casting and 3 spinning ?

That's what I kinda thought, I was told different, thanks for your insight.

On the handle of the reel it has a clicker for what size line you have on it so it balances the "weight" to help prevent backlash. It reads, 8, 10, 14, 17, 20, 30, 50, and 65lbs, let's say you put 12lbs line on, do you set the clicker on 10lbs or 14 does 10 cover the weight till 14? It's confusing me.

17-25lbs florocarbon in tournaments you'll keep more fish on, but on a fun messing around day on a lake or river you can go down to 10lbs it's not going to hurt anything.

So how's the flexibility and sensitivity on the Heavy? Can you tell me a little more about that one

Maybe I'll just buy them all, lol:)

Flush the heck out of it with a lucas reel oil or a Hot sauce, barely use any grease. Make sure your real is tunes right with your brakes and tuner knob and make sure you use the right line and good line. If nothing works buy a quantum pt smoke s3, you'll never have any problems in any situation, good luck.
