So, spooled it up with 20lb Izor and took it on a test run. Paired it with a Low Down Customs MH 1-5oz tossing around a Tiny Klash (2oz), Roman Made Nego (2oz) and a Doomrider Glide. First impressions..I’m not impressed. Casting distance I feel is sub par compared to my Lexa 300..had it on brake setting 6, tossing into slight wind but nothing to bad to hinder a cast. Hopefully in time with more use it’ll break in and my opinion will change lol. Looks nice though

 

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to open the reel up, and check for proper grease, and oiled bearings, mainly the spool bearings.? Sometimes Dawa's come a little dry. Anyhow, thanks for the report, hopefully in time you get more performance from it.

Well.. I didnt feel I needed to because it felt fine out the box. The retrieve and the overall feel of it felt buttery smooth. I’ll give it more time on the water and hopefully it gets better in time.

My new crankbait rod.  

 

Geez 2 days since anyone received a tackle order? I got this one yesterday was a small gift card I needed to burn up. I had completely forgot what I ordered except for the swivels, so it was like Christmas when I opened it yesterday. ?

What great looking rod decals man, such a nice blue!

Scored a couple of OG's at BPS yesterday.

Other than one rod and one reel that have already been paid for - this is the last of this winter's purchases. Couple more colors of Trick Worms, a selection of Finesse Worms and some swimbait hooks

Ahhhh........ the good stuff........

 

that should easily check the Texas rig off your bucket list. 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz bullet sinker in any of those will work, especially slithered through veg or brush

Thought I’d use the Black Friday and end of year sale to finally try out 6th sense next season

Try? In my neck of the woods that supply is called "all in"! Tight lines!

As they're also floaters - shakey head or Gamy Finesse Jig

Well I’m sure that would work but that won’t help the never caught one with a Texas rig problem ...........

ive fished those zoom worms my whole life and never knew they floated

True - they will see T-Rigs - but I like having plastics that can fulfill more than one role.

They also work very well weightless with a thin hook (very slow sink with a shimmy), and on a jig head, and Carolina rig, and as a jig trailer, and wacky rig......... good worms!

They are advertised as the first floating worm, but in all honesty they very seldom actually float. Some of them will suspend slightly. It depends on how much salt they contain.  Most will slowly sink. I have fished trick worms, since they were introduced. They are a great worm , but if I am looking for a true floater they are not my first choice.

I would love if I could place orders in November and schedule them for delivery in March. It would be like buying presents for future me!

It's a pain waiting - placed an order for a Fury 703SF when Legacy had their 25% off sale before BF. Still waiting for them to get the rod in stock and ship it to me.

Well, at least your lakes are unfishable. The wait would be much worse if it were the warm season. If I order a rod in December, I don't really care how slow the shipping is. If I order a rod in May, then the ludacris overnight shipping costs seem like a reasonable expense, lol.

see, you started something.  

My 3-g XUL lures and some good braid for a surf reel

all heavy sinking, freshwater trout lures, while some have stainless hooks, all have light wire.  

Will end up replacing the bronze and light wire hooks with good salty hooks, like the spoon, and the 50 mm crankbait on the bottom.  

Winter is a great time for tinkering tackle - especially the blow that's coming this weekend.  

I finally bought some braid suitable for a spinning reel. 8lbs Berkley X9. Also bought a chatterbait. I'm broke, so I just buy something occasionally.

Bought a freedom chatter bait and a couple packs of Zakos today

Added a couple of what I'd call more subtle patterns, to the box.

Going for the stealth attack I see...interesting.
