The Rod Locker is advertising the Zillion rods 40% off
-
A longer rod will always have more leverage to set the hook, but with finesse applications/light wire hooks it's negligible. Can't comment on sensitivity, I've never tried two identical mfr actions/powers in different lengths.

The tackle warehouse Evo Minimax has done well for me this year, great bait at $10, stock up if TW ever has another actual sale Spunk Shad is pretty much all I ever use as a trailer. The bladed jig/Spunk shad caught my current PB 5lb14oz so that will always have a special place, but definitely only stock up when DSG sells them half price. When the water is calm I do still prefer the weedless underspin swimbait. Probably should have weighed this one

The TB mini rig isn't all that mini, I usually throw it on a 2oz swimbait rod. The micro is pretty effortless to throw on any medium heavy rod.
-
Hayabusa WRM201 is my goto, size 1 or 1/0
-
TW daily doorbuster is InvizX fluoro 50% off. get it while it lasts.
-
On the budget side of reels the new ark bfs avid casts a karashi like a champ and is on sale at TW for $80. No experience with the pop x stick but the cashion icon 7L is a hard bait bfs beast.

Only one bass from the forebay this morning, but it was a solid chunk.
-
I'm a big fan of Invizx in 10+lb test but I haven't had good results using it as a BFS mainline. Abrasion resistance in the 6lb test was really bad compared to Tatsu or Daiwa Samurai.
-
Holes or not I always do the same 2 wraps around the spool and finish with an arbor knot.

The new panfish destroyer. Dobyns Sierra trout/panfish 700, Stradic C2500S, 0.185mm braid and leader.

Hookup tackle 27% off site wide with some restrictions

Been on a bit of an ultralight kick recently, some highlights from Saturday. One eyed kitty on an ultralight rod with a 1/28oz #12 ice fishing jig head was a heck of a fight.

Anyone seeing a file download on mobile when hitting the first level of the forums? All the sub forums load fine but the main forum just triggers a file download. Android/chrome.

New PR smallest bass ever hooked, not in the mouth so I guess I can't count it. Bonus crappie
-
Post gsm I've had to source rod tips from them and it was painless and took less than a week to receive new tip guides at no cost. Buddy also did a post gsm warranty on a Kaden and swapped to a different model via the warranty upgrade. He also had no issues and received the new rod in about a week.

Just arrived from Digitaka. Signature was required, I think that has been a topic lately.

I cover up as much as possible but the face still needs sunscreen no matter what. Sun reflection off the water will burn you just as quick as direct exposure.
-
Not every manufacturer uses the same hooks and hardware but you're probably good to go with a #3 split ring. That's what's on a lucky craft lc1.5
-
Popper, karashi, silent spook. Fuzzy Senko has also worked exceptionally well as a top water lol but that requires hanging your line over a tree branch.
-
I run soft plastics until they won't stay on a hook. Old stuff catches just as good as new.
-
I'm not a big braid to leader guy on casting but that might be worth looking into if you want a do it all setup. Or go down the rabbit hole and end up with 3 bfs combos, or more
-
6lb daiwa samurai fluoro or 6lb maxima ultra green if I want to throw top waters.
