i vote megabass flap slap. can fish like a jerkbait and crankbait with much success.

I have watched videos and read about the KC7 vs KC8 carbon fiber blanks and still undecided on the Argon vs KLX. Any input on the two? I currently am using Lamiglas XP Bass series rods which to be honest I have enjoyed after "downgrading" from Fenwick HMG rods.

Got to throw the new Daiwa baitcasters and spinning reels today. Fluoro on baitcasters worked awesome. fluoro on spinning reels worked well. I actually had more issues with the spinning reel that I put straight braid on. It kept getting tangled/knotted up.

how does the straight flurocarbon work for you? and which one are you using?

Thank you. So basically the idea is for the joining knot to not enter the spool.

Thanks all for the info. assuming you all are using the FG knot for braid to fc? How long of a leader? Length of the rod?

Hey all, new member. Everytime I google search a bass fishing topic, I see very informative threads pop up on this forum. Figured I would join finally. So I just got done upgrading all my baitcasters and spinning reels. Got the Daiwa Tatulas SV103TW baitcasters (and a 200HL Tatula for swimbaits) and I have some ballistic 2500D-xh on the way for spinning gear. I have always just been a straight mono guy and one baitcaster with some heavy braid for jig fishing. I am now upgrading to some fc. I bought some Seaguar InvizX 10lb and 8lb and also some suffix 832 10lb braid. i always use the KVD line conditioner Here is what I have: Baitcaster: i spooled straight 10lb invizx on my crank/jerkbait rod (with some mono backing of course), I am going to try this i do have two more baitcasters that I think I will do the same as above for texas rig/plastics rod on one for sure, mono backing with 10lb invizx. Spinning: Here I cannot decide if to do some mono backing to suffix 10lb braid to 8lb invizx or just some mono backing straight to 8lb invizx I have seen a lot of posts about with invizx you can just put it right on the spool and use some line conditioner. Do you gain distance with the braid?
