E6X and questions
I did do it ?? I’ll pick it up this week. They also had an Evergreen Combat Stick 7’3” Heavy (RCSC-73H). Do you guys think that’s too heavy for 3/8 chatterbaits? It’s rated 3/8-1 1/2.

E6X and questions
It’s Tackle Supply Depot that got posted in the sale thread today. They’re local for me so I don’t have to pay the crazy shipping.

E6X and questions
843C MBR for $125, is there a better rod? I know I saw reviews saying that for $200 there were better options, but is there a better option for $125? Edit to add: They also had an Evergreen Combat Stick 7’3” Heavy (RCSC-73H). Do you guys think that’s too heavy for 3/8 chatterbaits? It’s rated 3/8-1 1/2.

reasonable pocket knife
This. I’ve had a bunch of kershaws, never had one break but I’ve lost a few. The ones with assisted opening are nice when you’re holding something with one hand.

For some reason I thought there was another one but I couldn’t remember when, which probably means I’m wrong

Jig size vs trailer size
Thanks! I didn’t know if the size of the jig would limit the size of the trailer, but I guess not. So many options for trailers I’ll have to try a couple and see what works

Jig size vs trailer size
I mostly fish ponds and small lakes for largemouth bass. I’ve never fished a jig before but I recently picked up a couple 3/8oz jigs to try out, and I’ll probably pick up a couple 1/2oz too. How do I know what size trailer? Or how do I know if a trailer is too big? 3”? 4”? 5”? I have some Missile baits d bomb, is that too big for 3/8oz jig?

Tatula Reels
I don’t have any experience with the Tatula XT rods, I don’t have a ton of experience in general but I have fished a regular Tatula and they are fantastic rods. I don’t think I’ve heard anything bad about them. If you can swing it, I would go for the regular Tatula. It’s probably Daiwa’s best band for the buck rod

Good deals on Dobyns at TW right now

Shimano vs. Lew's Reels
It’s really just a matter of preference. Different braking systems perform differently, which style you like is your preference. Even things like weight, some people notice the difference a few ounces makes, and some people don’t. Quality control isn’t perfect, no matter what company it is, sometimes things slip through that shouldn’t. I would have no problem buying a Shimano, or Daiwa, or Lews etc
-
First casting rod!
This is the exact reason I haven’t bought a Tatula rod, I have a Curado 150 MGL that needs a rod and I can’t bring myself to put it on a Tatula haha

They get $40 back or you do? I didn’t think with the referrals that both people get it.

If you’re new to Rakuten, you get 15% cash back on Academy, plus if you spend over $25 you get $15 cash back. So including the 20% off at Academy you could pick up a Daiwa Fuego for just over $50

Shimano Curado K or Curado DC
Isn’t that basically the Curado MGL 150? I would recommend one, I’ve only had it a couple months but I’ve thrown everything, even down to a 1/10th Ned Rig, without issue.

Shimano Rods
If you want to give some away I’m happy to volunteer haha I agree that you don’t NEED a bunch of different rods for each technique, but if you want to have a rod for each go for it. There’s no denying that certain types of rods are better suited for certain techniques. I have one casting rod (because I’m newer) and I do everything with it, but I know that there’s other rods that would be better suited for some of the techniques I prefer.
