To me they were too big in hand, didn’t feel as nice, and were super finicky to dial in.

The only Winn grips I’ve used wore out in about 6 trips. Then they became fuzz grips. My (at the time) 11 year old son wore his winns out as well. So yeah, that sucked therefore they sucked. Had to get grip replacements for both rods.

Bought two original Team Daiwa Fuegos. They sucked. Sold them and got some SVs. So I say sell if you don’t like.

@VolFan That’s the one! It looks pretty legit I just don’t like the color!

I didn’t bring them up first. Re-read.

I’ve never felt “memory foam”-like Eva. That would be way too soft. Also Winn grips suck.

Doesn’t look the same to me at all. It’s longer, more worm like, and probably less weight. I want the tanuki for pitching into cover. I don’t think I would use the neko macho for that.

Probably a better regular top water rod than It is a frog rod.

Got this in a door prize package and since apparently no one wants the whole lot for $35 I’m stuck with this thing. Anyone thrown one or had any luck? Where and when would you throw this ugly thing?

Won this bait as a door price. Bucca baby bull Shad. How are these?

4/0 rebarb medium wire

It’s a Dobyns Maverick 734c

What’s the difference in the armilo and regular defier pictured above?

I believe that. I’ve seen that too on this lake. Today I was in a more sandy/submerged tree area with chunk rock on the bank. But the rock only extended a few feet into the lake in the super shallow. Water visibility was 10-12’. They weren’t up that shallow yet. At least not in the clear water I was in. Other areas of the lake have huge rocks that they hide in. I can usually swim a bait by a couple times and they’ll show themselves. Then I can pick It apart. Haven’t done that much yet since I just got ffs.

What’s the least stretchy mono? I know big game is strong but it’s super stretchy to me.

It was just a question.

Absolutely loving my Livescope. Made my fishing waaaaay more efficient. No more throwing at dead water. Every fish I caught today came in submerged trees behind (deeper into the lake) where I would have normally had the boat positioned to throw at the bank. Therefore I was never even putting a bait passed these spots. Some of the spots I thought looked good had nothing there at all. Like nothing as in sand. I 100% would have wasted time in those areas without ffs.

I’m done with Braid on bc reels (except heavy vegetation Punching). What line for spooks, buzzbait, toads? Armilo defier? 20lb?

My buddy and I fished a benefit tournament today. There was about 50 boats. Not sure where we ended up but I think 20th or so. I usually just fish my club which is no where near the level of fisherman I saw today. Some of the best in our area fished. We ended up at 16lbs which we were super excited about. Winning bag was 30.5! Lol Big bass for the tournament was 9.78 and the guy won $1440 for It. Here we are. Got free lunch and I made out like a bandit on door prizes too. Great day.

This forum is 100% social media.

The day they became available on TW, which is the day I ordered direct from baits.com, I saw that at least the baby bass color were in stock on there for a while.

Once you do that then what? I tried It and I can drag around the screen but as soon as I let go It goes back to original.

Man that’s some bs! I Probably could have ordered from TW and had them by now. What a joke. I was still holding out hope of having them soon for some upcoming tournaments.

So if the little mono section breaks you lose your fish?

Do you have a picture of this?
