If you let them sink for a couple seconds before you start reeling that will normally help with keeping them “right” side up

I have the Fury 703C and 704C, I really like them both but agree with previous posters that if I was only going to have one I would go with the 4 power.

Another vote for Accu-Cull, has always been reliable for me and price is very reasonable

Senko or Ned Rig

I am doing this same thing right now - focusing the last couple weeks on fishing mainly Senko Swim Jig Whopper Plopper unless it is a night trip, then i always throw a black spinnerbait and magnum uv speed worm

1. Ned Rig 2. Swim jig 3. Senko Night = 10” black n blue power worm

Went night fishing on Friday in Central IL, threw topwater, had to clean my reel the next day because it was all gunked up with white fuzz

Thanks everyone for the replies, i have a fury 703c with 12# YZH on it, sounds like I need to use that for summer Senko duties when the veggies are thick, and try my best to keep them from diving as they approach the bank. The good thing is this is only a 13 acre pond, and I know that fish is in there somewhere so now it gives me something to chase this summer!

I hooked and then lost what might have been my PB largemouth yesterday, looking for some advice. I was fishing from the bank so standing about 3 ft above water level, it hit my senko, I set the hook and first played it with my rod tip high until it made a big jump out of the water. I dropped my rod tip after the jump to try and keep it from jumping again, and it then dove straight into the thick vegetation about 10 yards from the shore. I tried horsing it out of there with my medium medium power spinning rod and 6# test, and sure enough after giving it a really strong pull my knot broke off and the hawg got away. In hindsight i probably should have kept the rod tip high to avoid the weeds as that was more of a risk than the jumping, but once it buried deep in the weeds what should I have done? maybe just keep the line as gently taught as possible and see if I can wait it out until it swims itself out of the weeds?

I started using it this year and have had good luck so far. Got tired of wasting so much line tying a palomar around a swim jig with the trailer already on. The tag end not collecting junk is a nice feature when fishing through vegetation.
