Lews LFS speedspool
For $100 it was a great reel. New MSRP at $129 is tough. JDM tatula 100 can still be had for ~$150, $50 delta with the lfs makes it a good deal, $20 makes stepping up to a tatula a lot more appealing. Edit new MSRP is $139 even worse, no way I'd buy one over a tat 100 currently.

Yup the coupon offers seem totally random. Maybe location based since friends in the same area are seeing it.

Favorite jig colors
I have some shad and fire craw swim jigs and plenty of bladed jig colors but for casting/football type jigs it's just those 3 for me.

Is there a lure or technique you would like to master, but just can't seem to figure it out?
Crank baits. As a primary bank angler they just feel like a way to constantly snag and throw cash into the river. When I do get the opportunity to fish off a boat I focus on what I know.

Tough overnight at the lake. Reaction bite was not happening, lots of jig/drop shot seemed to be the answer.

BSF is a game changer
I run my slx bfs with no tension but the aldebaran bfs punishes me if I try. I need just a bit to keep that reel controlled.

Spearhead?
Haven't used the 70 but I have a couple 60s and 51s. Just think of it like a fancy JDM rapala countdown. It's a duo realis bait, polar opposite of temu

First cast curse was real today, got this guy on a bfs swimbait and that was it for about 2.5 hours. 2nd (and third) fish doubled up on the Karashi, thought it was a big striper at first with the way it was shaking around. Broke me off at the bank and I lost the 2nd fish but I got the bigger of the two and he still had the lure so win win. Destroyed my first set of Karashi hooks, poor lure did not like 2 fish at the same time. couple dropshot dinks to wrap up the morning

VMC Crossover Ring sizing
I've seen a fry guarding bass suck a senko out of a 7mm band, why I switched to the 6 originally. But I agree at least for me it's almost always gills ripping worms out of the ring.

This one might actually be on Dobyns unless Amazon is swapping rods between tubes. Original shipping label from GSM and product label both show 702SF One hand written label showing 702C. I had already opened the tube and confirmed it was the casting model. Rod was still in the original plastic with 5 sections of bubble wrap in different areas around the blank, definitely not an Amazon packing job, tube end caps were also secured with heavy duty staples. So who knows, hopefully the next one is correct like you said.

Poor folks in the Amazon warehouse probably have about 15 seconds to pull the order. The only identifying marks on the tube is a hand written sticker with the model number. Someone grabbed 702c instead of 702s oh well. Replacement will be here Friday and they're picking up the incorrect one tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/Kaden-CRANKBAIT-8-14-LINE-Cork-Full/dp/B0D4W93XSB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1RNFQI4AXRZVB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f0_VqVt9GXNUW-n73fsN1na4wyvuPMakZ2sinh78KtipIT57mS8WgqeINIEf3PcSNUN7zahXN5NBIAMa8BbjpC4KIx1-QRBJgI6NqQ7ylrX3omqUBAqzOBlnaeT2OEPD.n6GG7q5mwSkGXCK2AdZAvb7Jx099JzILq-KYaWAZYSA&dib_tag=se&keywords=kaden%2Brod&qid=1752089406&sprefix=kaden%2Brod%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1 It's hidden have to scroll over to the right and select featured or unavailable options and it will show up in stock.
