I have a Zodias 6ft med/light casting rod and i can't say i have had it for a really long time i have only have it about 6 or 7 months. But what i can say is that it has held up really good with all the fish it has caught. They seem to be true to what they say to (which is amazing) when it says medium light it means medium light not to much but not to little perfect for me. Even tho I do not have a 7'5 or 7'3 to tell you how those do, i really like my 6ft rod and im happy with the rod.

I would do some of these, ned rig, a jig with a craw on it, just a craw, curly tail, jerk bait, and or a small bait maybe like a rooster tail.

Im guessing not? im not 100% sure tho i do know there good rods tho ?

The way I do mine is get a pyrex 2 cup measuring cup and just put in the pieces and then put it in the microwave for 30-45 sec intervals mixing it until it gets to be about 350-400 degrees f but i found out that 360-375 degrees works best for me.

it would not let me create an account it said that i was banned and that i was a spammer can you help me with this?

okay thanks

yea not 100% sure sorry i didn't see that it was in Canada.

yes i understand but the version of the rod i was telling him about was this one below and is only 50$ and can get it at Cabelas (cabelas and bass pro shops are now joined together) so thats where i got 50$ from. here is a link. https://www.cabelas.ca/product/137028/bass-pro-shops-crankin-stick-split-grip-eva-casting-rod

sorry wrong rod i got mine for 30$ a couple of years ago but they have it on an ad for 50 but still 50$ for a really good rod that lasts long is not bad at all. I still use 2 of mine all the time they last a long time heres the ad.

I tell you if you are new to fishing and trying to build up your soft plastic collection these bins are amazing there cheaper and have a good selection.

Right now they are marked down to 30$ you just cant beat it. I personally love these rods there amazing for the price and there pretty good quality if you can buy more than one i would get 2 or 3. In my opion there just great rods.

your best bet is under docks and back in coves in my time fishing here lizards wacky rigs and a Texas rigged have worked for late morning and all afternoon. A frog does really well in the early morning. Also if you are kinda on the main channel casting under the docs then throw out a all white jerk bait i have caught a lot on that and a couple of nice 3-4 pounders on that.

There is lots of fish in the coves not to many big ones but you might get a big one here and there then under the docks is a good one.

It used to be better back then than it is now just really over fished and not to many big ones anymore. But if you fish back in the coves there are lots of them now there only a pound or so must still lots of them.

Your best bet if your fishing from a boat is to go into the coves just go a little farther back in them and pay attention to what the water looks like.

They are not wrong there so many tournments here and now all the big fish die because there 1 not put back where there from, 2 kept in a small live well with many other fish, 3 these fish could not be fizzed the correct way, 4 there is 4 or 5 bass kept in a bag filled 6 inches of water in 90 degree heat waiting on a boat ramp for 20 min. There is just a lot of reasons why theres not many big bass here anymore and its just over fished badly.

theres honestly theres not that many you will be better off going to an academy which is about 25-30 min from Lake Wylie. The reason for me saying this is because the rusty is over priced so if you want good deals but still high quality just go to academy because they are cheap.

Thank you i did the math for the front deck it would somewhere around 20 pounds

I'm not quite sure if i should do that and i would not have the seats on there i just need it to float and do good with a front deck. with two people.

I get that but i will only be paddling in a 2-3 acer pond

Oh wow yea i'm not 100% sure what i'm going to do yet i was really wanting a front and back deck but thats just wayyy to much weight so i'm thinking about only a front deck. Not quite sure yet but this is kinda the build i was going for, except i'm not putting a troll motor on mine.

The brand/model is a sears Gamefisher my mom bought it for my dad brand new (10 or 11 years ago) the boat isn't in bad condition not quite sure if they make this exact boat anymore

yes mine has a rating and it says 230 pounds or 2 people. It was my dads old Jon boat and he is a bigger guy (around 285) and he and my grandpa (around 145) took it out i think with just paddles to get them around. Im not saying this is a good weight for the boat by any means (also not sure how it performed with that weight) just wondering what you guys think and how much weight you guys have seen or experinced with it.

Do you think i should just leave the boat how it is and not do anything to it? If you had to guess what do you think the total weight on your boat was?
