Thanks for all the information.

Thanks. Compared to windbuster, since it is the one you won’t sell, in which aspect do you think it is better? Why do you keep it since you have windbuster? I am trying to find an excuse to persuade me to buy it.

How do you like your 843S SJR. I am also considering this rod. What is the lightest lure do you think this rod can handle comfortably? I have the Megabass wind buster (lure rating 1/4 - 5/8oz) and considering to add a rod that can handle slightly heavier than wind buster. That's the reason I am considering this one (lure rating 3/16 - 3/4 oz). Do you think this 843S SJR's lure rating is accurate? Besides the jerkbaits, do you throw other triple hook lures? Thanks.

Most of my p5s are bought from Japan, so there is no warranty when I get them. They are pretty tough and not that weak, but there is no layers or something on the carbon material (the carbon material is exposed, I guess this reduces weight) so you still need to take good care of the rod. I always use rod gloves to transport my rods. When I land the fish, I will not put my rod directly on the ground because my buddy might step on it. Actually even if you get a new rod from US, the warranty is also not as good as others. Only three years. By the way, windbuster is very very great and versatile. It’s my favorite P5 rod. I can almost throw anything from 1/4oz to 1/2oz comfortably.

Thank you very much, Sir. You are so nice to type so many words to explain this to me. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the information. Do you have the Megabass P5 oneten special? How about the oneten special? Except for the Jerkbait, can you use it for other hard baits ? Thanks Except for top water? Is it good for other lures, say chartterbaits, spinning baits, jigs, and soft plastics? Considering buying a versatile bait casting rod. Thanks

How about the casting distance? I mainly fish from bank and cares a lot of the casting distance.

How do you think the oneten stick casting distance? I have the windbuster for Jerkbait, but I want to have my first casting rod for Jerkbait. I want to try oneten stick but a little bit worried about the casting distance because it is much shorter compared to windbuster. What do you think? Thanks

Sorry that I forgot to mention the lure. I used the 1/8oz jig head with Megabass Hazedong 3 inch swimbait. I learned from hook up tackle YouTube video that people use baby plugging for okashira screw head before Flyssa released. The line is 8lbs Daiwa J braid with a 6lbs FC leader. Any tips on the hook set? I used the baby plugging on small Jerkbaits like Megabass X80, X80+1. Both are 1/4oz. It feels great, very similar feel with windbuster when playing jerkbaits. But I didn’t land any fish on the hard baits today. I will continue using it today. Hope I can get some fishes.

Hello, it takes me some time to have a chance to try the Baby Plugging rod because the rod was broken during shipping and the seller sent me another one. I like the rod very much and it is super sensitive and light. But, it is only good for fish, which are not super large or strong. I used it for bass and stripper fishing, I lost all the large strippers (over 17inch, like 4 or 5) due to lack of power to set the hook. I did land a 17.5inch spotted bass. The rod is too weak to set the hook, so when the fish is on, I feel like dragging a mop and the fish struggles to make the hook penetrating to its mouth. During this process, it is very likely to lose the fish. This is totally opposite to Landsat, which has strong backbone to set the hook. Except for the hook setting, I think it is super comfortable to fish with light lures. Casting and sensitivity are good. I will try the small plugs this weekend, like Megabass x70 or x80 to see how it works. By the way, I have the Flyssa, which is very similar to Zangetsu. Many people say baby plugging is a light version of Flyssa. But from my opinion, they are totally different. Flyssa has backbone, there is no issue to fight large fish with Flyssa, but I would say Baby plugging has 0 power compared to Flyssa. I like Flyssa very much, casting is excellent. Very sensitive. Hook set is also ok. (Not as strong as Landsat but Flyssa has second action to avoid losing fish compared to Landsat).

Thanks for the information. The whippet power is 2 and the baby plugging is 1.5 even more light than whippet. So I guess the baby plugging should be able to handle 1/16oz jig head. I don’t know why Megabass rate the lure starting from 3/32oz. I was also considering whippet but since I fishing from band most of the time. The length is important to me. I have ordered one and hope it works for my both bass and crappie fishing.

Have you tried the baby plugging with 1/16oz jig or lure? Considering bought a rod for both bass and crappie fishing, was wondering if baby plugging is good for crappie fishing especially using 1/16oz jig. What do you think? Thanks.
