So, the Bait Monkey got me again. Picked up a Shimano aldebaren JDM MG NIB this evening. Why, oh why does the bait monkey do that? lo. Maybe a few ~beer~ (s) were consumed, making the bait monkey that much more influential!!
With that, of course I needed a rod to go with it because you cannot just pick up a sweet reel and not have a sweet rod, right? ~roflmao. I will leave you all in suspense, so take your guesses. But, I will say that it is aimed at spinnerbaits.

Post by: caddyjoe77 on April 17, 2017, 04:35:20 PM
Wow, thats all I can say. The combo is so light and extremely accurate. Caught a few dinks, and one barely keeper, so the fish handling abilities have yet to be tested but I am sure that it will fare well.
I really like the length for those close is pitches.
So, now I have 2 rods/reels specifically aimed at spinnerbaits and chatterbaits -- the 736 with the HLC -- which is just a beast when it comes to hauling in bigger fish and the SB813/Aldy JDM. Also, there are 2 speeds -- HLC is 6.3 and aldy which is 5.8.

This thing is slick. Brand new as described.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170727/6caa876da9cf96d10c22823a5141ea76.jpg)
Needs a good tear down and clean/flush/lube to get rid of all the factory grease.

I have a 96mm black handle for it, CarbonTex drag and she will be ready for pitching jigs.

But, - I have not picked a favorite out of those 4 yet. --> Diawa Ito, SV103H, Shimano Excense DC, and Shimano Anteras
The exsence is just in a whole different class. it'll skip, it'll most definitely chuck them, and has some nice spool control features. I was only home for one day before getting back on a plane today....but I am really happy with all 3 I purchased.
Trying out the anteras next time I am home. Hopefully the Ito shows up by then.....

Oh man! Welcome to the Curado club baby! Thats got to be the sexiest reel Shimano ever made. I would give all my reels before i gave up my CU50E. And i have the parts inventory to prove it, plus frame and side plates on the way. Lol
<")))>{
OK, not hating here, a legitimate question.
What made those little 50E reels so damned special? I hear they're like finding hens teeth to get one.
Post by: LgMouthGambler on August 01, 2017, 03:28:53 AM
OK, not hating here, a legitimate question.The size and power of the reels. They were just the perfect reel in my eyes, and apparently everyone else's too. I don't think there has been a more popular Shimano out there. They tried to bring it back with the 70, but you can see most people are selling them off not long after owning them. The 50E platform had to be most solid built, ergonomic friendly reel out there. And the fact that you can't find them, and if you do you are gonna pay a pretty penny for them.

His obsession with the 50e is like mine with the Core 100 series. Shimano just did something right with those reels.
If memory serves me correct, the Curado 50e was the first in the E series 50's.
The 50e was so popular that they made the Chronarch 50e identical except for the color. I don't know if a company has had so many spin offs as Shimano has with the E series 50's.

That is correct, the CU50E was first. Then JDM Shimano brought the 09Aldebaran MG. Off that, USDM brought the Core50MG7. Then, when Shimano tried to pull a sly one with the Chronarch (painted Curado E series), they brought the 50 with it.

The whole Curado to Chronarch paint job pissed a lot of people off. Then to have Shimano say it was more than just a paint job made it worse.

I forgot to post this gem. Traded in my E6X 843 MBR and got a 2016 GLX 843 MBR. I can't say enough about how well this rod is built. About as close to a custom as you can get. Balance is amazing and the sensitivity is very close to my 7'3" PB rods. Dragging a 10" worm over timber felt great.

Keep in mind, you are going to spend $$ for that reel to cast light stuff. It's a bitch to dial in. Frogs weren't a problem though, but you don't know how to frog fish.. and there lies the problem.... ~roflmao

Sold:
Core MG
Lot of squarebill crankbaits
Lot of soft plastics, one other lot still for sale.
Purchased:
Metanium MG7 with ZPI drag star and custom ccc, knobs and handle nut. Got it from Japan for $110
Ray's studio drag star for the SV105
Big TW order including some replacement squarebills, plastic worms, reel covers, etc.
7 speed gear upgrade kit for said Metanium and some Fuji hook keepers from TTT
Small lot of large topwater baits for a super steal on another forum
Planning on picking up a few more plastics soon, I'm in the process of getting rid of miscellaneous stuff I've accumulated and paring it down to what I know works for me and I like.

Could anyone tell me if that's a small profile ? Would it be the same size as Curado 70 ? or is it 100 size ?
I'm slowing replacing them to 50/70 size on all of my arsenals.

No. I don't know the spool size, but overall size wise, it's the same as any Zillion. LMG says so but I swear my SV103 was thinner. Nothing to back that up though. It's much wider than a 70
Post by: cbburke on August 13, 2017, 09:28:26 PM
Speaking of that, My only zillion is the Daiwa Zillion 100SHA that I got off the forum years ago for a "great price" Its paired up with Dobyns Champion 705 CB.
Its just Purrrrffffffeeeccct !
I just throw it and it would go 50/60 yards using 1/4 or 1/2 oz Lipless which I dont have have to use the thumb to stop from going "bonk" (backlash). I love it when I get some "eyes" ( :shocking:) on me at the pier (shore fishing). They would come up and ask me how the "heck" I do that ?
Of course, they are using some big/thick rods from walmart thinking that those bluegills will break their 30 lbs mono line.
Post by: caddyjoe77 on August 13, 2017, 09:32:47 PM
Yeah - was reading about it and it looks like the same size as zillions.

Nice going man! What was the reel?
BTW I bought the 7 speed gear upgrade from TTT for my Metanium MG. Installed it and fished it for the first time today. That made a BIG difference in smoothness. A really big difference. Guess having like metals touching in the gears helps. Super glad I did that, and if I wind up using this rod as I think I will for squarebills, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and topwater, it will be handier to have it a little sped up.

BTW I bought the 7 speed gear upgrade from TTT for my Metanium MG. Installed it and fished it for the first time today. That made a BIG difference in smoothness. A really big difference. Guess having like metals touching in the gears helps. Super glad I did that, and if I wind up using this rod as I think I will for squarebills, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and topwater, it will be handier to have it a little sped up.
It's a huge upgrade for the platform. It bumps you from 26 IPT to 30 IPT.
It's a Chronarch 100 D7

Nice going man! What was the reel?Is this the MG you are selling? Also, brass is always gonna be smoother than aluminum. It's just the hardness of the metal that make aluminum more of a geary feel.

Love that Spinning Reel ! got the 2500 on my Wacky LTB Rod :)
I got the 3500, it weighs the same as the 2500 and it holds a bit more line. Guessing the spool is different, but if it weighs the same it can't possibly be a bigger reel.
Looking forward to trying it out.

LMG had his credit card stolen, and told Mrs. LMG. She decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than LMG was on reels. lo
The Ms' is happy but it's killing LMG cause the other guy is buying Lews. ;D

Match the line to the lure, right Rock?You have my attention now. I'm all about getting the job done without breaking the bank. Lew's have been serving well for me for a long time. And I really like the way the are reasonably priced, compact in size, along with generally one of the lighter weight reels in their class. Lots too like for me.

Lets see,
1st shot of Woodford at about 08:45, next shot of some unknown Scotch that was damned smooth at around 11:00, a couple of beers after that, then a couple more at the cafe, then a few more and a double of Makers Mark at the Tiki.........
Yep, I was hammered! lo lo
Post by: cojab on August 26, 2017, 05:24:59 PM
Caddy called him while we were sitting at the Tiki bar. It came up that we would have a beer for him. Lee says to have a drink of whiskey. Caddy says which should we have, Makers or Crown.
Lee replies George Dickle. Joe says they dont have Dickel, what should we do?
Lee says: Leave!
Cracked me up but hey, I was drunk by then.

And so is this (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170831/c14dbd4bf1d434f1afb9203d5188576a.jpg)My preferred drink. I was going through a half gallon a week, straight, poured at room temperature into a chilled glass. It was perfect.

I'd considered picking up just a little small bottle, something like an airplane serving. Then figured that'd probably quickly turn into one a week... one a day... a couple fifths... back to a half gallon...
Nope. I've had maybe 5 beers in the past three years on a few special occasions and managed to avoid letting it become a habit partly because I hate the particular beers I drank.

I bought some new tackle. The snakes look cool, not sure if they are going to catch any fish but heck why not try? The 4" Twin Tail Menace Grubs have already proven to be fish catches, and so I got the 3" version of them to add to my tackle bag for when the fish are honed in on a smaller bait.
Got new gloves that fit perfectly on my large hands and feel comfortable.

But the thing I was really waiting for was my NEW FROG ROD! That's right, I bought another frog rod as I search for the right rod to keep me frogging for a longer period of time without fatigue. Sure I liked the Tatula Frog Rod, its super light, very powerful and performs very well. But at 7'4" it not easy to cast when fishing out of the back of a boat, it is also not easy to walk or work a frog from back there, and it's not easy to do those things from land either.
For a bit I have been considering downsizing for these reasons. Then I watched Flukemasters video for a second time where he talks about the 13 Fishing Muse Black he helped design. His points all seemed valid, but they go against everything I have been told about frog rods. Regardless it sounded like a shorter rod would help in my situation. The more I thought about it the more it made sense. So I bought it. The rod is 6'5" and it feels great!
It is perfectly balanced with my Tatula CT, the shorter handle end of the rod seems comfortable and the rod is as light as the Tatula rod.
I suspect my cast distance will suffer some, but walking a frog should be easier, and the balance should help my carpel tunnel issues and back problems.
Wanted to try it out today after getting it but the weather is crap. So I'll have to wait till Friday or Saturday to put it to the test in my local pad field and hydrilla filled park lake.

This is Bella. She's not quite as happy that I got a rod. Cause that means she gets less time to spend with me if I go fishing lol

Rick,
You bought good stuff. Congratulations on the new rod! I hope it works for you.
It might take you some time to get used to it, but you’ll see that 6.6’ rods are easier to swing around, and should help with your hand and back issues. Enjoy!

Wouldn't it be easier to just order an LSCR?
Rodney
When I get an LSCR it will be an all around rod like my savvy 734 because it will be the rod that will spend the most time in my hands.

I have been seriously considering trying LH reels. I can't quite get over the idea that I use my non-dominant hand for all the important things in fishing, casting and working the bait, and relegate my dominant hand to, well, turning something.
Will probably start out with a Tatula SV, because I want to try one of them sometime.

Tatula SV in 7.3. Going to be using it for topwater and probably some spinnerbaits/chatterbaits.
A significant aspect of this reel is that it's my first LH baitcaster. The fact that I do all the delicate work of giving a bait action and playing a fish and landing it with my non dominant hand, while my trusty right hand keeps itself busy turning a crank, has always bugged me, so I figured I'd try lefties.
I put it on a rod and cranked it a bit, and I will say, wow what a weird feeling lol. Time will tell. If I don't like it I'm sure I can sell for good money.
But to make sure the LH experiment got a good chance, these were also in the box:
(https://i.imgur.com/0sEJYgf.jpg)
Three of those small bearings are for a buddy, and three are for the knobs and levelwind on this reel. Also included are ZPI SiC spool bearings. Hoping to make this thing a monster! :)

Been looking for a round reel for big cats and maybe musky. I got a Shimano Cardiff 400a for around $60 new. I hope it's halfway decent.I had a 200 that I used down here for inshore fishing, and it did quite well. It's actually a well built budget round reel for the money, and especially for $60! You got a really good deal.

So, then having such a good sale, I decided to grab a few more things. Was gonna wait till Guntersville, but the price is hard to pass on. I'll get the new model when Christmas comes around. For now, I'll grab these and see which ratio works best for me.

Those look nice!I'm not really sure how it's all working to do what it claims. It's kind a odd as the line tie is on a little metal arm that is kind a free floating. These are the first ones I've ever had. Mike might know more about how it actually works. I only bought these because he said he liked them so much.

I find it interesting that you are not a big fan of the SV103's? What dont you like about it besides the speed?
I was a big lews guy at one time and I thought the opposite. As soon as I had the sv103 in my hand it was over for the lews. I had a bunch of TP's that I was trying to unload a while ago but I ended up donating them.

I find it interesting that you are not a big fan of the SV103's? What dont you like about it besides the speed?Honestly it doesn't do anything the Lews don't and it was twice the price. It is smooth and it looks nice for sure.

The settings for the braking is hard to adjust. Literally hard to change the dial. It backlashs more cause I'm used to the Lews as all the other rods have the same reels on them, so I grab that one and pow, nest lol. It does flick under docks and cover nicley.
It is also noticeably heavier. The LSCR does a fantastic job, but I can tell the Daiwa is a chunk in my hand compared to the Lews. I had to swap the Daiwa due to bad braid during the classic. Put a Lews on the LSCR and it was super sweet.
I also don't care if I toss the Lews on the ground while bank fishing and I worry about rashing up the SV lol ugh
I haven't decided yet though.

Makes sense. Im sure you are used to the dual brakes of the Lews. You interested in a basically NIB Tournament MB LFS?

We were discussing the TWSV103 Tatula series. selling for about $130.00
Post by: SFL BassHunter on October 16, 2017, 01:46:18 PM
Tom, I think you can tell that some of us are surprised at your response about the Daiwa. It has been almost uniform that most find the reel much easier to use and back lash scenarios are almost non existent. It is an ounce or two heaver but the price is fairly comparable to the Lews. Are we talking the same reels?

He is talking about the higher end SV103, not the Tatula.
It's a heftier reel than the Tatula, I think on the old Zillion frame that LMG likes.
I think this is why he is having more difficulty with it. I think he would be much happier with a Tatula SV. It sounds the SV103 he has is a little harder to get dialed in than our Tat SV.

He likes the smaller profile of the Lews reels, which I can see as a good argument. I dont know if he has held the LFS series yet, but they are more like a Shimano 50E size.

We were discussing the TWSV103 Tatula series. selling for about $130.00
It is a smooth nice reel. It fishes fine. Cast just fine. Palms fine as well. The dial literally is hard to click and one click does a lot which is nice.. but I never move it much as it adjust so heavy.
I am definitely used to dual braking and the Lews are more comfortable.
Plus if I toss a Lews on the bank or bed of the truck I don't worry about it as much lol. This thing is too pretty to beat up.
Kinda like owning a nice boat you are scared to bump a dock. Got an old tin boat and you'll drive it through the dock lol

Decided to try a Jackall frog cause the shape and color looked cool. Basically marketing got me lol.
Of course I’ve been waiting for my teckle sprinker Frog for months. Finally got it.
The arashi crank was on sale and I though the self tuning thing might be cool.
The fishhead spin should be useful when wanting to throw a smaller profile than a spinnerbait.
Of course was running low on tungsten and these were on sale so why not?

Not the huge ones but the 7" or so baits. I have one more reel coming, Lew's BB1, from Bud ;) and that completes every baitcaster rod I own.Whats the braking profile on that BB2?

i started this monstrosity of a thread lo lo
they were not on sale, those swimjigs are awesome, dont really get hung up in boat docks which is the primary cover in my lake. Not all true total tungsten, either. They are a tungsten resin, which is probably how they were able to get the shape of the head. Therefore not as durable as real tungsten but they are still pretty tough.
I got them at TW and they were about 6 bucks each.
Post by: SteveTX on October 17, 2017, 11:23:21 PM

:'( Dang it I hate buying tungsten. Its like diamonds so expensive for such a small item. >:D

no worries. I didnt think 6 was that bad for them. They are really sensitive and like i said they really glide over, under and through boat lifts and docks. Knock on wood, I have not hung one up yet. For reference I have used one for approximately 8 total hours of fishing over the course of a couple days.
one of our sponsors, I think its monster has good deals on tungsten usually. Like a couple dollars for a small pack of 1/8 oz and smaller weights. trash bomb ones are about 2 - 3 bucks apiece which is a dang good deal for a big ounce + size.

where did you get the spike-it?Brannons Bass Shop (http://www.brannansbass.com/)
Its called Spike-It Fix-A-Lure. Ive only used it once on a Live Target Gizzard Shad Swimbait. It worked great on it. But thought I needed something for the Convict baits I got. I only had heard of Mend-It but they didnt have that brand.

Not with the ZRs. It will not mess with the control factor, and thats one thing I really like about them. You would notice a bit of difference on "startup" abilities of spool. I dont think you will really see a difference in distance though.

So not really much of a benefit except for lighter lures. With a faster "startup" I suspect lighter lures would travel with more ease.

Gotta love it when the santa mailman delivers the new package of goods! I got something new to try out- soft rubber rat'l trap type of lures with glo sticks...
(https://s26.postimg.org/n1oimok6h/IMG_20171110_111925edited.jpg)
And just to stay out of trouble with the non-sponsor brand police, I have obscured all references to brand names and websites...
And here is a strictly Florida thang... something else just arrived and all new- now I get to take a pair of boobs fishing with me, and no it is not a couple of my buddies or a stripper or two or three... there is a new bait hitting the market with an interesting back story that is either funny or can make ya angry depending on how it is taken... but yeah, here it is... the all new Florida bass boobs! But will it catch bass as much as it might some fishermen???
And yes, this perky pair of boobs is real even if silicone! ~shade
These are actually hitting the market here in Florida. Will they take off or will they sag??? Pun intended.

These will be sold as a single pair or a bag of boobs!
(https://s26.postimg.org/9tkjfzx9l/IMG_20171109_140240edited.jpg)
And just for the record... I just got my hands on these and have not tried them out so I can not say yay or nay on them. Just showing what just arrived. These are about to hit Lake Toho very soon...
So Lip what would you do with these if you got your hands on some??? Play with them or fish with them??? :-*
And did I mention the company putting these out is 100% all women behind this product??? Not men. Apparently this is for men sort of like what Hugh Hefner did but without the magazine...

I imagine it will cleave thru the water. Will it only catch males? Looks like it will make the bass more perky. Does it guarantee big bags? Or is it like putting ^-^ on a boar? Please keep us abreast on how they perform.
(Oh, I'm gonna milk this for all its worth!)

Does this titillate the bass? Not sure how that guarantees big bags? Does this lure need to be worked like pop, wait, pop-pop, wait and pop again! or a different cadence like "bounce off the bottom" with a good strong lift, and let it down again to the bottom before repeating the process. ~roflmaoTitillate, nice! I wonder how they'll work with this nip in the air?

If I brought something in the house like that my wife don't have a sense of hummer and would go to the kitchen and (http://imageshack.com/a/img923/6710/DeIn19.gif) (https://imageshack.com/i/pnDeIn19g)(http://imageshack.com/a/img923/6710/DeIn19.gif) (https://imageshack.com/i/pnDeIn19g) ~roflmao ~roflmao So FFF keep them down in Florida ;D
Lip, I really have to question the creation of these new boob lures. I mean, what sort of motivation is behind the creation of them? Clearly the women behind these lures want to make money selling them, but what sort of thought went into their creation?
Most lure companies make lures that in some way resemble various naturally occurring foods that fish are already feeding on. And lure companies go out of their way to tank test their lures to create life like movements, shapes, and other characteristics designed to entice a fish to eat it or attack it.
But I have to really wonder what sort of natural food for fish does this lure resemble or is it even created to resemble anything at all in the fish world?
It seems to me by making the lure shaped like a nude woman laying on her back with boobs is not really designed for the fish. It really appears to be a design to attract male fishermen.
So I really have to question the legitimacy of a product like this one. And I have to really question the motivations behind its creation. It clearly appears to me to be a product designed for men by women to extract money from the pockets of men. It is sexism in lure form.
So for us men we can either laugh at it as some sort of a joke, or also be kind of peeved that someone is trying to manipulate us men for money with sexism in the same way Hugh Hefner made his career and fortune.
It seems the people behind this lure design are trying to make fools of us men for profit. Imagine if the situation were the gender reverse? We would never hear the end of it! ~bb And we would never hear the end of the wiggle the worm jokes either!
(https://s26.postimg.org/4d1vlm3vt/IMG_20171109_140130.jpg)
And just out of curiosity... how would we go about rigging this lure? If weedless, then boobs up or boobs down? And where do we bury the hook barb? Should the hook slide down between the boobs? Yeah. I can see what sort of thought went into the creation of this new lure.
Wouldn't it be kind of funny if some national tournaments were won using this lure and some professional bass fisherman had to show on camera how to rig one of these and use it??? ~b~
With lures like this one, the joke is on us it seems if we buy into it. I don't plan on making these a regular purchase type of thing. I would use this for the joke it appears to be. It would be kind of funny to 1)have something other fishermen don't and then 2)whip up on them with it.

FFF you know the ol saying "THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE" and there are a lot of suckers out there who would buy anything. lo lo
You are so right Lip. And I think that is precisely what the people behind this product are counting on. Making suckers out of us fishermen, but I honestly don't think a product like this one will go very far. I think if they truly want to be successful with their brand then they need to drop the sexism and get in on the realistic life like product game plan.

I often laugh watching YouTube videos when the tuber insinuates a particular lure is imitating _____ . Seriously has anyone stood back and really looked at a jig with no trailer. It looks absolutely like what sitting there? Now as fishermen we can dream of it as what ever but to the rest of the world that has never known what one was remove the hook and id bet money they couldn't guess what the hell it is. OK want to argue that one try this look up Yoshihiko Ando Lures, Jackall Pompadour, or the Mepps Black Fury. If not for the hooks someone that was not a angler wouldn't know what a ton of this stuff was. The list goes on and on.
All that said In the configuration it is in I wouldn't try it. Although I bet you money I can catch fish with it. Make that bad girl white and buoyant (put air in the breasts maybe have a air valve? ) where I can float it through the lilly pad fields and I can make a case its a top water catcher. Finish her feet and Ill make her swim face down and I guarantee Ill catch fish with her. Heck finished like that I might buy one just to say I did and to post a pic with my fish.

I have to argue that most lure companies may follow a traditional method to their madness. However that is truly not the case of some very successful lures though history. Innovation be it "woops" driven or fish driven can a good thing. I am not saying this particular attempt will out fish a worm or not, but there are many many lures id be willing to say lack the look of a typical fish meal.Check out the Kong. I have one in my display case. Lol

Got the Storm Squarebill and 12 packs of the Paca toads off eBay dirt cheap. Ive never used the Paca toad its huge and looks like it is just a huge version of their craw. I think it will work great for my lake. They love white and topwater and these were much cheaper than $3.89 I think a pack for the Zoom or Stanley Ribbit brands.

He's saving up for right before the Christmas rush or Black Friday. lo loYeah the jigs surprised me they are really nice. The lady that owns the place is always marking stuff down if it doesn't sell. She has some system where they use colored price tags and each year the color changes. If they have been on the shelf to long she cuts the price hard and will only special order if you want it after that. They sell a lot of Santone jigs around here its a Texas based company and they have nice jigs reasonably priced. I'm guessing that didn't help these sell as they were several bucks more each normally. The eBay Netbait toads I got 12 packs for $11 and change shipped to my door. So less than a buck a pack delivered is nice. And the discontinued squarebill I didn't have one that color and I got it for like $4 at my door.
Yup looking forward to getting a deal on something on sale maybe a reel.

Ok, just for you, Lip.
I know there are some pretty awesome rods that are on this forum, and I was seriously thinking about spending the whole 200 on that ALX I was looking at. I thought about it, and figured I can get a really nice rod with great reviews, and get some line and some frogs and other cool stuff. I know there are better ones, but this is a big deal for me, going over the 100 price point for a rod. So without further ado, may I present my new
7'1" M fast Omen Black 2...

The main thing that I like is this:
Cal Coast Fishing Rod Mule (40 bucks)
I tried this the other day and it's a MUST for everyone to have. It will make your life easier to transport.
This is not me, I am not that SKINNY !

For a not real expensive rod that Powell 7'3" Mag Hvy Frog is a pretty good rod. I picked one up used and its stout. Doesn't have quite the tip for casting some really light small frogs but definitely a stick for the full size frogs or toads and pitching a 1/2oz or bigger jig if you like. Its actually pretty decent for pitchin jigs I was kind of surprised.

I have a small amount of money available at the moment. Two things holding me back right now are
1) I don't know if I could talk the boss lady into agreeing, and
2) with the cancer diagnosis I don't know what treatment is going to be yet so if I end up in bed for a month or so I'm going to need to get a new laptop so I can stay connected with UB.
I started putting the money away for the purpose of a laptop if I need it, but I know Joe has one of the mis-labeled 736 CB Glass rods and that is calling my name. I'm sure he would make me a good deal that we could both live with but I may not end up being able to fish until June or July anyway so I can't see spending the $$ now for a rod I may not even get to use this year.

from my understanding there was a run of 735 labeled glass rods that were actually 736 glass rods. The ones labeled 736 were actually 735. Both are glass and both are awesome. They were available on the Dobyns refurbished store about a year ago I would say.
I am not selling mine, perfect length and power to pull big girls from under docks and boat lifts.
If you see one, pick one up.
But, I do have some that I want to sell all at one time and for a great price. the 784 ML is not made anymore and its a dang good jig rod. 734, no explanation necessary, 765 CB glass, great deep cranking stick, 733 savvy, good all around rods. The St. Croix are just because I think they dont feel right in my hand. I will make a bulk purchase deal :)

I'm guilty of to much buying and I didn't buy near what some of you spent. My little Keitech order came in and I was at the local tackle shop and the 50% off on the mop jigs is just too hard to pass up. Wire tied living rubber with 2 rattles and a decent size very sharp hook. $2.40 each I had to grab a hand full.

When you go to the Dobyns site click on the store at the top. There you will see mislabeled rods and refurbished rods. All are still under warranty.

Aint nothin I cant fix with a gear swap from a Super Duty though.Yeah it would be sweet if it came with brass but its plenty light so adding brass gears its still a light weight reel with some nice features and man for $119.00 it was a smoking deal.
It fixes the hook hanger issue since my one real complaint on the Dobyns rods is they have a closed hook hanger this fixes that issue. ;)

I forgot it had that funky hook thingy behind the gear box.lo Yeah they did a really good job on it. If you don't know its there you wont even know about it. Its hidden that well. However if you want it its easy to deploy and keeps the hooks off the rod and reel. Also all my plastics don't have to have the hooks pulled out to put them away. To me that is a great feature.

The gold on the reel and even the carbon handle seem to blend in well also. I was really surprised with the looks of it.

One of these is on the way to me. Gonna see how it does for a punching reel. Stout drag and brass gears, along with a profile the size of a 50E Shimano makes it a nice option to try out. And, as if I need to say, I got a really good deal to give it a shot in the arsenal.What was it you just told me," Woah, lets not get our hopes up." ~roflmao

Got a mislabeled 735cb glass on the way. It will be my only crankbait rod, although it will probably throw more spinnerbaits and topwaters.
Never liked the feel of glass rods but Mike convinced me with his review of the 736.

You’re gonna love that one. Spinnerbait is perfect on it to pitch. Perfect. Rod is accurate pitching around docks and boat lifts. I’m about to start using mine a ton in about a month.

Negative. Nothing to beef up. Drag is powerful enough, and really just gonna be locked down as its gonna be used for punching mats. No need for spool bearings, as Im not making casts with it. I have a carbon fiber handle from Lews that Im gonna put on it, but thats about it. Not even gonna open it up. I was using a $400 reel for this, then realized, I really dont need that kind of reel for what Im utilizing it for. So I sold it, and got this. (and another reel, but youre gonna have to wait and see when it gets here. I will say, its a very pretty, solid, and bullet proof reel.) ~shade

I thought it was always WISE to open and check the grease and lube done by the factory wasn't over done?
Or is that more important if the reel's goiing to be used more for casting distances.
But couldn't 'over lubing' cause challenges even if your only 'pitching'?
Post by: LgMouthGambler on February 09, 2018, 07:07:11 PM
Not even gonna open it up.Yes, and no. When you are flipping mats with a 1.5oz tungsten weight, the added friction can be a blessing. Lol.

LMG looks like a beast slayer now get it on a rod and go catch some beast. ~bbActually the rod its going on is a Lee Smith Custom Rods 734 Liberty he built me a while back. Its got spiral wrapped torzite guides on it. That thing, even though its rated a 4 power, is insanely strong. What i really like about it is the tip allows the fish to grab a hold of the bait, and its gives a little bend at the tip. Then, I set the hook and its all over. Lol. I really love that rod. Its not the lightest thing, but man it is really freaking strong!

As for the squarebills I only have a few places with rock or structure that I feel like they wont get hung every cast so mine dont get used but on certain occasions.
Pretty much could take both completely out of my arsenal and I would survive no problem. Unlike my jigs, soft plastics, and my spinnerbaits. ;D

Yep, it is strange. Confidence I guess.
Chatterbaits and squarebills probably accounted for half my fish last year. At least a quarter on frogs and the rest on plastics and a few other cranks.
I have a spring trip to Missouri coming up and you can bet squarebills will be used a bunch. I would really like to figure out jigs though.

I'll be slinging those squarebills with this as soon as the water softens up a bit.

Grabbed a St Croix Mojo Bass in a 7ft MH F. After the trade in, it came to $105 plus tax. I think that was a pretty good deal on a really nice redesigned rod.

Wally world had Netbait baby paca in balck/blue and watermelon red for 1.50 a pack. Got the last 8.Man that is a great buy. I use the baby and the regular paca craws a lot. In my mud colored water I stuff a Gene Larew 7mm glass rattle in them and they are deadly. The only issue is the glass rattles are a little fragile I’ve had bass crush them but it’s worth it they are loud.

Was the rack full of the Gen 1 rods? Because they are heavy and feel horrible.Hey matt how much does BPS give you per rod? I looked at the add and can’t make heads or tails of what they mean.

What do you throw spooks on? Medium or medium heavy?I throw my spooks cranks spinnerbaits on a 13 fishing Defy MH M crank rod.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It’s not ideal for the big topwaters I find the tip to be a little too slow.
I bought it though cause it’s rated for the big lures.
It might actually be the right rod for the job, I don’t know. I’ve yet to miss or lose a fish on it and I’ve caught a few good ones on the spook. But they’ve basically hooked themselves. Between the mono and the slow tip there’s a lot of give. :-/

Sorry for cutting in on the question to Matt but it depends on the value of the rod your buying as
I understand it.
Turn in a working rod or reel and if your new rod cost $30-49, you get $5.00 off. All the way up to the new rod being $500, you get $100 off.
The reel Im getting is $179. If I turn in an old reel, I get $30 off.

Oh I see, thanks for the answer. Thats what I was confused about. So it doesn't matter if the rod you turn in is a cheap rod or expensive rod, they are valued depending on what you get.
Cool. I've got a berkley lightning rod I don't use that I may take over there then.
Figured I'd get a bigger discount if I took 2 or 3 rods but thats not the case I guess.

Not as sweet as those older SV103s, but I picked up five of the Tatula SV103 reels last week and I was impressed with how they felt right out of the box. I will have to get them spooled and on the water soon.
I have 5 and want more. Pair them with those Dobyn's and you will be set.

The monkey got me today. Monster tackle has a 10% off and they finally got the spinnerbaits I like in the color I like in stock! Woohoo. Ordered 2 of them threadfin shad and 2 blue gill colored. Then I gave in and bought the 4 1/2 inch SWaver and the 6 inch SWaver! I'd been eyeing those things for a long time. The fact that I didn't want to pay 6.50 for shipping made me go and get the wavers that were on sale + the 10% off.Yelp that monkey has been busy. lo lo The only thing that's saving me is that they don't have the LT Frog in the Albino color I want. ~sweat

Anyways the thing wasn't even in good shape. The vinyl on a few of the lockers was all warped and looked bad.
So I went inside. I'm used to seeing a bunch of stuff with discounts. I walked the isles and found very few items with discounts.
I did get some tungstens on sale, yum dingers on sale (They had just 2 bags of 4" dingers...)so i got those and a 4 bags of the 5". Got some pliers, a mini fish grip from rapala that was on sale, and some owner wacky hooks I was running low on.
I did go check out the reels. Held a couple Lews, held a couple Shimanos. Really liked the Chronarch MGL size and weight. There is a high chance I may end up getting one at some point when I am ready to pair a reel to a custom rod. As much as I like the Tatula's, the Chronarch feels sooo much lighter.
Anyways that is a decision for another day. lol

Went to BPS to check out their Classic sale. What a major disappointment. Not sure if they are all this crappy or just the one by me. For one, they had 3 trackers. I always like to go look at them and dream a little. All they had was the Crappie one, a 160 and a 170 (from 2015 brand new...WHAT?)

Chronarch is lighter because its not a metal frame.

Chronarch is lighter because its not a metal frame.That's disappointing. Meh, I hate reels that flex. How does the Chronarch do as far as rigidity?
What is it some sort of carbon frame? Doubt its graphite at that price range.
Shimano calls their aluminum frames "Hagane" right?

No, Hagane refers to being aluminum. Whether that means the frame, gears, etc. Again, Hagane is a fancy gimmicky name used by Shimano for aluminum.
Post by: analfisherman on February 21, 2018, 04:51:04 PM
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation of in-built toughness and durability, working alongside Shimano’s precision engineering. (Shimano's words, not mine)
This is directly from Shimano itself.
http://www.shimanofish.com.au/articles/shimano-s-new-hagane-concept.html
They never mention 'what' the stuff is made of BUT at the same time don't refer to it as a 'material' AT ALL.
With the exception of the words, 'forged metal' used ONCE in the whole link.
Strictly MARKETING terminology.
Nothing more...nothing less.
It's just their 'concept' or company's 'Mission Statement'.
Not really addressing a material at all.......check the link out.
NO MENTION OF MATERIALS USED IN THE WHOLE LINK?

I bought a Favorite Fishing Balance ultralight combo on Black Friday and let me tell you that reel is garbage. So far the rod has been great but that reel had to go. Traded it in today towards the Nasci 1000.I love my Nasci too

Feels weird the handle is in the way.I'm a righty, I cast and reel with my right, but I've forced myself to learn how to pitch with my left. Pitching is where it's "too much work" (too slow) to switch hands for me, I like to have control as my bait hits the water. But casting with my right, I can switch hands while it's still on the fly.
There's about a 99% chance my rod and reel is going in the lake if I try to cast leftie, I know from experience.

I'm thinking of selling one of the reel I got recently (shimano Chronarch CI4 6.2.1) to get another SV103H.
I got this reel (CI4) for chatterbait on the Dobyns 736CB Glass. But this one might just take the cake.

I'm real happy with the ones I have, they're a real good reel for the money. I put the PROLITE I got off ebay on the CL2.0 it really feels nice and casts a 1/4 ounce bait nicely also. The ugly little furball aint done with me yet either!! :'( :surrender:

St Croix rods to me always seem a little on the fast side. I haven't had a ton of them or even fished a lot but the ones I did seemed that way.I was told by analfisherman that the St Croix's fish heavy.

I was very disappointed in it.
I've always wanted a heavy spinning rod but never found one I could see paying the price they wanted for it. I always wondered why they are kind of rare too. All the spinning rods have a wet noodle feel to them imho. One reason I cant and don't fish spinning gear I need something that doesn't fold up like a cheap suitcase when I get a fish on.

I’d have to go look but forget casting a 1/16oz weight and worm on it. You need at least 1/8.
My dobyns champion 704 is perfect. I can cast 1/16 oz all day on it with good distance.
I think a MF in the avid x would have been better. But we don’t buy medium rods down here.

I may be wrong but I think it's a bit older than my latest 2 which are 10 bearing reels, really nice for light baits.

The Gambler sale got me good.
I really like their creature baits and they make in my opinion the best swimming swimbait out there. Other than the one I pour myself which pretty much is a close replica of the ez swimmer.
Hard to pass up a big bag of swimbaits at the price they were being sold at.
Though I think I would have been better off using the money I spent on the 6” stick baits on something else. Not many stick baits in each bag.
We will see how they perform.

Not all stick baits are created equal either. BPS makes in my opinion the best stick bait. The Sticko.
I recently tried the YUM brand and liked them, but the rate of fall is different. I've tried many brands. Never Gamblers though. So we will see.

St. Croix Mojo Bass Casting Rod - MJC71MHF
SKU:2244812
In Stock
Length : 7'1"
Power : Medium Heavy
Action : Fast
1
$129.99 in six EZ payments! It's on its way!!!!!
Rick, I took your advice and went against my instincts and went with the shorter rod. I could have got a 6'8", but it just felt too weird; believe me, I mulled it over for days. I also have read MANY reviews that say the St. Croix H power is like a broomstick (specifically, the 7'4" HF, what Mojo Bass call it's Slop N Frog rod), and that a lot of folks use the MH for frogging. Apparently, it takes quite a bit of weight to load the heavy rod well enough for casting. Now I just need to drive down south and have Lou show me how to use it.

A froggin' we will go...Cool! I think the 7’1 is a good size. Especially for you a bank fisherman. You should find it much easier to use than your current 7’6”.

St. Croix Mojo Bass Casting Rod - MJC71MHF
SKU:2244812
In Stock
Length : 7'1"
Power : Medium Heavy
Action : Fast
1
$129.99in six EZ payments! It's on its way!!!!!
Rick, I took your advice and went against my instincts and went with the shorter rod. I could have got a 6'8", but it just felt too weird; believe me, I mulled it over for days. I also have read MANY reviews that say the St. Croix H power is like a broomstick (specifically, the 7'4" HF, what Mojo Bass call it's Slop N Frog rod), and that a lot of folks use the MH for frogging. Apparently, it takes quite a bit of weight to load the heavy rod well enough for casting. Now I just need to drive down south and have Lou show me how to use it.
By the way....does anyone remember that group in the 80's, Aldo Nova? I think they had a song about a monkey on your back...help me out, LMG
Yeah I don’t know about the mojo rods. My avid x MHF feels like a MHXF or. HXF. I’m actually going to try and sell it. I’ll take a little hit on it but I just don’t need anything that freaking stiff for spinning.
If the Mojo series is similar then the MHF will probably work just fine for frog.
Hope it works out for you. It’s tough making rod purchases online. Not being able to see them and hold them.

You should find it much easier to use than your current 7’6”.Oh I went to BPS and looked at the 7'4"HF, it was very stiff, and I looked at the 6'8", which was fine, but like I said, it was weird short. They didn't have what I ordered in the store, but I went with it.

I was thinking I need to sell off some stuff as well. If you don't mind sharing where did you list your stuff? I was thinking about Ebay but its been a long time since I used eBay as a seller. By now I figure they take a considerable chunk.
Ebay is the last resouce that I would use due to fees. but There are some advanages on that. On the BBC Board, Shimano Core 50MG7 is averaging $225 to $245 TYD. On Ebay, The last one that I saw was sold for $266 plus 8 buck shipping. SO it's kinda of the same to me but fees.
I sold all of mine on the BBC Board. They all met my "asking price".

Yeah imagine my 6’5” lol it is weird short till you get used to it.
Even though I’ve used it a bunch when I first pick it up after using my longer rods I always feel that weird feeling like it’s not the right height. Get over it quick when I land a bass on a frog though lol.

Cool thing is I ordered it about an hour and a half ago and got a text about a half hour ago that they already created the shipping label - on a Sunday!Are you gonna make a "waiting on my order" thread?

I lost my 5 inch bluegill swimbait at Vista View (not on a tree, I was slow rolling it at the bottom and musta wedged itself in a rock) . Before I lost it though I hooked up with a big ol bass but the hook sucks on the weedless huddleston. I suspect thats why I lost the fish.
This Gantarel is for Vista View, and whatever other place I can chuck it.

I also got a couple spools of 50lb BPS Hyper Braid to try. It was BOGO free. Man this stuff looks extremely thin. I actually went back and looked at the box thinking it was labeled wrong. Actually I think it still is but its measuring very close to the .28mm that it says its suppose to be.

the monkey had got me and I was excited to get home and see my lures and put them in the tackle bag for the weekend. Well I get home and no box anywhere to be found. I looked and looked and looked. Nada.
So I call up UPS and they tell me they are going to contact my local ups location to get more info and get a hold of the driver to find out where the box was placed.
They didn’t call back yesterday. Today I call again and they tell me they will call me Monday with more details.
So I go fishing. Get home today and there’s a box in my mailbox that wasn’t there before. Trust me I checked lol.
Get a look and it says TW! Sooo it seems UPS must have found the box that they say they had delivered yesterday and actually made the delivery.
The color of their trucks represents them well if you know what I mean...
Anyways on to my new toys!

That’s right I got me some popper frogs from live target. Wasn't gonna let Lou corner the south Florida market catching big bass on those.
Got me a new lure from lunkerhunt. It’s a 3 inch dragonfly. The lure is bigger than I expected. But it’s a topwater and made of a bouyant foam that’s supposed to be durable. Can’t mix it with other plastics like the zman baits.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/49c149acb83230dcafea30565c2558f4.jpg)
Got 2 swinging swim jigs.
A live target sunfish swimbait because I am impressed with the sardine version I have.
I also got a free topwater sunfish with the purchase of my 2 popper frogs.

I got a few reels that Ive been eyeing to get, and looking to get them for $100-150 range. I completed that with the Gen4 SX, Super Duty Speed Speel, Revo Rocket, and now the Tournament Pro G. I even got the really good deal with the Fuego CT. Trying to get a few reels in my "budget challenge" arsenal. However, the Abu LV7, which is a JDM reel, I couldnt manage to get at a better price than I could from Japan Lure Shop, and dont really trust other ebay sellers with JDM purchases. That reel is just a hair over the $150 budget, but I figured the Fuego CT offset the difference. lo

Heres the thing with the LV7, its the JDM version of the ALX. What it has are better bearings, brass gears instead of aluminum (and a 7 ratio), and the braking system has more magnets, that are more varied in power. All this, with a lighter ported spool, will help to accel it in the light bait category.

Um, thats a big negative. lo But, it will be a staple in my arsenal of fun. Nothing will "replace" my 50E Shimano reels. There is not a reel to this date that has the "it" factor that my 50s have, especially the way I have them set up. If you cant tell, I just have a reel obsession. :surrender:

Big mistake...
You just fell into the trap. Now he's going to tell you how awesome the reel is, and you're going to get one. Then next week he will tell you about another reel and how awesome it is then you'll get that one too. Next thing you know you'll be making a list like LMG with 15 reels he wants to buy and the funny thing is you'll never use them.
Anyways you're done. :surrender:

Big mistake...Here's the big difference in that scenario...Matt can always trick out the reel and get his money back, once I buy it, it's money spent buh bye, see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya, a fishing fool and his money are soon parted, and any other money gone cliche.

Favorite reel?No, my curado k is first, with the Rocket a very very close second. When I finally catch a fish on it, if the drag performs as well as the K, it may move up to first. When I caught that 11 lber, my drag was loose from catching dinks that morning, and she ran. The drag peeled out line smoothly, and when I slammed down the star, it stopped that big girl in her tracks. I am a big fan of Shimano drag systems.

Doyo has a stronger drag system than Shimano, but its not as smooth. Locked down, you cant budge the Doyo.

Just noticed you got the 6.8:1? Or are you planning a change on the gears when you order brass? If you change the gear ratio dont forget to order a new star drag.I dont think im gonna change the gears right away. Not planning on using this reel for braid or real heavy applications. Pretty much using all the budget reels with 20lb Senshi to test them the same. All but the Fuego CT, OG Super Duty, and Gen4 Revo X. Since these reels just scream braid. Lol. The SV105HS, Gen4 SX, LV7, Revo Rocket, and Tournament Pro G are all Senshi spooled to get a somewhat similar comparison. Wow, now that I really look at the list, I went a little nuts. I think I need to order another reel bag. Lol

LOL this is what I was saying when I said you needed an intervention! I wasn't kidding. You should get a few reel bags so that you can fill the other one soon.

And I bought five pair of "polarized" sunglasses for $4 a pop. I know they junk polarized, but you can't buy even $5 sunglasses any more.
Got bit by that Monkey, for sure.

I bought twenty-three packages of Berkley Power Worms, and some sort of Trick worms too, for .75 and 1.00 a pack... I own a hundred pounds of plastic or more, with a Doc Irving order still in the mix. My gawd.I very seldom see them kind of deals in my Wal Mart and I'm in there at least once a week buying food and stuff that I can eat like Pecans and chips. I keep looking though.

I've had some good days at my Walmart but seems they don't come around like they use to. Also the brands and baits they have started carrying aren't really to my liking that much. However they do have a full isle of "stuff" so I do have some choices if I go there.Yours and Ricks store sound just like mine. I have never bought 23 bags at one time either. The most I have bought was 10 bags of GY Senkos when I founds a great deal on them but they were all different colors. ;D

Four buck sunglasses, and JIMMY HOUSTON's too! They GOT to be good! Well, they're darn cheap "everyday" glasses, for sure. And there's the $1.50 DT-10.
The Berkleys were .75 for the Power Worms, and $1 for the Shakey Snakes... Never used them, but that's a pretty good price. And while takin' the pic just now I find that one of the packs of Power Worms is TEN-INCHERS. Must have been a mistake- all the Wal Marts around here carry the 7" version.
Okay. Doc Irv is pouring my next order right now. I need a little bit of fishin' line. Then come May I'll probably order some more of Doc's BIG worms. So, I'm pretty much done for the season. Yep.

Sold a few reels off that didnt fit the bill i was looking for. Got a gift certificate to Tacklewarehouse from my mother in law, so I decided to order a 6'8 MH Powell Endurance rod to add to the rod selection. Soon may be adding another light reels to the mix.What do you mean by this may be stuff we will be looking for them ;PHO) when you get it. lo lo

Depends. If my friend can get me this particular reel for what I think he can, then yes. And, if thats the case, I will sell off the other reel.

Got me some nutech jig heads and 3” roboworms for those days where a smaller profile works best.
Cranks I decided to try a few that are 0-3 feet so the bomber in 2 different sizes stood out.
The Rápala DT Fat swims at about a foot and is a bigger profile
The Mann’s 1 minus I got cause I’ve heard people rave about them. Also shallow runners
The snaps for quick swaps.
Quite a bit of stuff and I sure as heck didn’t need it all but the monkey got me and I wanted to try different brands to see which I preferred.

New stuffs!!!The Mann’s 1 minus I can say beyond a doubt are stellar baits for me. They are one of my first crankbaits and one of my first "go to" baits. My father in law was always amazed how I could take a day where we both were getting skunked and turn it into a several catch day chunking one in Baby Bass color. I don't have a ton of them but I have the usual dark, light, bright, and natural color selection of them. Awesome baits.

How are the hooks on the minus 1? Do you guys upgrade them?I've never had a problem with them. If you see them in stores looks at the back of the package. The ones marked "elite" have better hooks.

I haven't had a issue with the actual hook on the Baby but I didn't like that they would tangle more than I liked. So I swapped mine to a combination that helped a lot but I don't remember what combination I went with. I think a 6 and a 4 but don't recall the brand or style. :( Mine are probably needing changed just from age at this point. I havent used them in almost a year.

Yeah with mono I don't worry about bent hooks, more like do the fish stay hooked.
Depending on the trebles I will sometimes switch to the KVD Triplegrips. Yet to lose a fish on those things.
But I don't need to switch them if they work fine.
For example I refuse to use the hooks on a spook. I always swap those out after I bent the hooks on a 1lb fish (in their defense I was using braid on that one). I also lost several fish on them. Never again!

At least it's not a 200+ dollar problem. But still a problem lol.

I can't help it. I have a problem.I hear you Rick and I just bought some Nu Tech Crappie jigs for my upcoming Crappie trip at the end of this month so I can put them to the test by throwing them up in some Christmas Trees and Rip Rap to see if I can get them hung up. ~bb It's spots like that that we throw our regular 1/8 oz Crappie jigs close to but try to keep from getting right in them. Oh I also just bought another one of them Fatsack measuring rulers too. ;D

I got a chance to try out some of my new toys yesterday.
Caught 2 dinks on the nutech, one with a small swimbait on it and the other with a ribbontail worm.
The roboworm on the nutech drew no bites.Neither did a texas rigged senko, so I am thinking the fish wanted the bait on the bottom and with a tail.
I did catch a 3rd dink on a trig and uvibe.
I also threw the Minus 1 and really liked it. It swims true out the box. I did have the hooks intertwine once on me. So I could see myself changing the hooks to avoid this. I just want to make sure I don't change the action.
The minus 1 got the attention of a dink that came over and bumped it but never ate it. No hookup.
I tried the Bomber A (the small one) and I did not like it out the box. The crank did not run true. I tweeked it and got it running right, but unlike the minus 1 it didn't go through the vegetation quite as well. I found that strange since the bill is square and bigger than the minus 1. It grabbed more stuff.
The minus 1 cranked through the stuff and picked up very little of it. A quick jerk of the rod and the bait was cleaned off. Not so with the bomber.

I got a chance to try out some of my new toys yesterday.I just got in my Nu Tch Crappie Jigs that I just ordered and they didn't have the Black colored ones in stock. After I placed my order I received an email from Bo and said sorry but when he was filling the order he said we are also out of chartreuse heads. if you will take red in place of those, i will send a couple extra for the trouble. I just got them in and can't wait to get out there and put them to the test by throwing them up in them Christmas Trees and Rip Rap to see if they will get hung up. They look great but the jury is still out on if they will make it back to the boat. I will do a full report after I test them at the end of the month.

Nice! That's a good assortment.
Down here in our limestone bottom lakes no jig is 100% safe from getting hung. It's just the nature of the beast. I did get hung with the nutech but was able to get it free. Of course these lakes are fished from the bank which always adds an extra layer of difficulty to the recovery of lures.
With that said, I do prefer the nutech shape and the dual weed guards. I think it gets over rock much easier (reducing the chance of getting hung) and got through milfoil and other clumps of vegetation really well.
