What rod and reel combo are you throwing these on? These things are huge. I bought two. I took one out of the package and I think it is growing.

Haven't got one yet, but since it's technically a square bill, I'd expect I could handle it on a five power or medium heavy rod. You'll need a fast or extra fast tip to help with casting it though.

Yep Mike is spot on, I believe it's a 1/2 ounce less then the XD10 and I use a 7' 10" M cranking rod by Okuma for that,,,,, however for this one I'd got with one of my 7' 3" MH fast Kistlers to help bang it off stuff.  BTW I fish both the XD10's and my LC 2.5 squarebills on braid  ;) you can get deeper, don't have to worry about a good hook set and if you get hung the braid will help you get your cranks back most of the time  ~gf

No leader, direct tie.  30lbs PP on Fork was digging in 32ft of water on a cast, not strolling  ;)

My bet is the 10, knowing the feller that's throwin' it  lo

My partner and I use 50# PP on square bills and 30# on deep divers also  :-*

picked up the only two colors the tackle store had last night.  The Bluegill and Black Chart.  Looking to run these puppies near spawners this spring! Especially that Bluegill color.

I tied one on a 7'3" MH Kistler KLX. Sure feels like to much bait. I am going to see how it does this weekend.
