dmat, it appears 4 of your pictures failed.

Sorry, Bro. I had to.

Yep, it comes that way.

Ito is a pretty distinguished designer. If I am not confusing him with another, he also does (or did) work for Megabass on some of their cooler looking baits.

I have an Ito Pop Max that is just sick looking.

Yuki Ito is the head designer and owns Megabass.

SoFla, what size braid are you using?

Spinning: 20lb braid w/8lb to 12lb fluoro or co-poly leader

Worm/Jig rod: 30lb braid w/12lb to 14lb fluoro leader

Flippin/Froggin: 40lb braid (I'll put a 14lb fluoro leader on if the cover is thinner)

General use: 40lb braid w/12lb to 14lb fluoro leader

I don't think you ever need anything heavier than that unless you are in some seriously nasty stuff.

Once I break down and buy a rod thats Heavy or Extra heavy, I'll probably stick 50-65 on that one. I learned my lesson at Okeechobee about needing at least one really stout rod.

Oh okay thanks I've been using 65# just for the safety of really never losing a rig, but I wanna downsize and didn't know whats about right. Does thinner line cast easier?

40 casts fine for me.  You're probably fine with 65 to be totally honest.  It's still a super thin diameter.  I wouldn't go any lower than 30 on a casting reel though.  It does dig in a hair.

great pics guys.

i use 20/6 powerpro w/ 6lb cxx leader on my spinning reel and 50/12 PP with 10lb cxx leader on casting. no problems here.

Nothing special as alot of guys here

The farthest baitcaster from the camera was my first baitcaster I got after I learned on one of my dads when I was 13....

the second was another baitcaster I got as a gift a few years ago because I stopped using baitcasters for some reason.... The curado I just bought..

Shimano Caenan 100

Falcon HD 7ft mh (any recomendation on a rod to put it on?)

12 pound big game.

Im a Daiwa guy Wont ever touch anything but a Daiwa... but Bantam1 was talking great praise about the Caenan it at its price point I just gotta know!... How do you like your?

I have not had a chance to use it yet but its lighter than the citica and curado, and i love the foam grips! I will post a review after i get a chance to use it.

Russ, i'm still super jealous of your Fuego! And im glad im not the only one who electrical tapes their spools when not in use ! ;D

How about some lures...

Micro, how ya liking the Ima's?
