Since a few people have followed me to this site, Lou and I have thought to bring this fun competition over here. We have done this on another site, and while most of the "main" people are also here, we are going to see if we can get some of you guys involved.
"Florida Bragging Rights"
This competition is based on the five biggest fish of the month. Yes, you have all month to gather your five biggest fish. How they are judged is not based on weight though, its based on the length. Here is how you get credit for the fish. Once the fish is caught you take a picture of the fish being measured on a measuring device. A few people have just used rulers, some have made their own devices(and quite inventive too), and some, including myself, have purchased the folding ruler from BPS for like $5. The pictures are then uploaded to the thread, and a little description of what you caught them on and maybe how you worked the bait. At the beginning of the week the numbers are added to the totals to post the standings so everyone knows where they are at for the month.
The whole purpose of the thread is to see how people are doing around the state, and what they are doing. Sometimes we will throw in a few curve balls to see what people will do in a given variable. We try to keep things fresh and interesting. The thread is not only full of pictures of fish that people have caught, but there are some pretty interesting conversations that may occur as well. I will say that since doing the competition, those of us that have stuck with it, like Lou, MCS, dsidle, gatorgirl, and myself, have become quite a close group. Since its hard to get any genuine information from the other site without bashing following soon behind, most have resorted to sticking to that thread. Well, at least here the can get the quality info they want, and thats why the have become members here.
The competition has been on a little hiatus recently, and we will start it back up soon. But for now we would just like to see who of all would be interested in joining in on the fun. Thank you for reading, and Lou and I look forward to playing again soon with you.

As you can see I got the message.... LOl. Hey Mutt! Good to see you. LMG your making it happen, awesome. It's too bad we can't get started, and give the contest a trial run over here. I was telling MCS, just the other day, that I made the right decision in taking a break. I have been very busy lately, and I have not fished much.

Went out today with the wife's Papa. Even though it was a bit cold, we surprisingly did pretty well. It was a light weight small bait presentation. Caught a lot with brush hogs and lizards. Mostly used the T3 with the 12# Cajun line, kind of like Ultra Light fishing for me. Most of the fish were in the 2-4# range, but was good fun. Totaled close to 40 fish between the 2 of us. Was a nice South Florida day on Lake Coral Springs.

43 and foggy this morning. Hit my buddies ace spot and nothing doing, spooked a few clod hopping around. He landed a couple small ones, sun was just peaking through the trees when I left, he staid to work my side, so I wonder if he finally hooked into a nice fish or two. freaking cold tho.
Update
He lasted another hour and no more bites.

Yes he needs to change his name. Martin was soo much.....well.....Martin, lol. The contests here are cool. They also give away some nice things. The sponsors are amazing, and we really are a tight group here. I'm glad you guys gave it a chance. I know Mike is really happy to have you. The man you need to talk to about rods and reels is Ron. You might know him from Valley Sports. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Any questions you have feel free to ask. We don't judge here and after all we are here to learn. I can't wait to get this thing rolling again, especially in a new field. Lou, you and I have a bit of planning to do to make this interesting, lol. Martin......well.......you know what to do. And I will see you next weekend. We need to get the word to Gator, even though she will be absent for a bit. Now I can't hide anymore, lol.

Well my morning didn't start off so well. Broken water main from 1:30 in the afternoon to 1:30 am.
Had to catch up on a few things around the house, off to my spot where I landed my avatar and a few others in the 4 or 5 range.....get to it, what is that thing sticking in the water...Haven't been in a few months...NO FISHING.....WTF I have fished here and seen other ocasionally fish for the last 2 yrs since I moved here...make a few casts, had a bump but I split, don't like being a douche bag that is disregarding the rules. Now here is my rant ~xyz ~rant ^-^ What is wrong with people today?!?! It is recreationally acceptable to smoke weed but F%$# fishing that S$%# needs to be stopped! And I like to thank all the other anglers out there, who aid in getting these signs place by leaving your line, used plastics or just being ignorant like fishing behind someones house or parking up on the grass because you don't want to park down the street(seen it at this particular spot) . Thanks for screwing the people that just want to be left alone and fish ~c~ .......~rant ~rant Rant over. Went to the spot up the road, it can be feast or famine there, get nothing or a whole lot of pot belly ones or two, then there is the ocasional 5 plus that you drag up. Well it was a famine day. Got there about 6:30 threw a jig for about 30 until the turtles stole the claws. Sun peaking up saw a few busting the surface, had a spinner bait so I gave that a go, fast slow top bottom over grass by culverts. Notta.....Supposed to be cold next couple days, looks like my next outting will be Friday

We have a lot of those signs down here to. I still fish them. Most people really don't bother me. Those signs are more meant for those "bucket fisherman" that bring their whole family there and leave their trash all over the place. Almost all the time I get asked if I was catching anything. They see someone that has a real fishing pole, they know you aren't there for grabs. I love it when I hook into something good that gives a nice fight, that's when people come out with curiosity to see what was bending the rod.

We have a lot of those signs down here to. I still fish them. Most people really don't bother me. Those signs are more meant for those "bucket fisherman" that bring their whole family there and leave their trash all over the place. Almost all the time I get asked if I was catching anything. They see someone that has a real fishing pole, they know you aren't there for grabs. I love it when I hook into something good that gives a nice fight, that's when people come out with curiosity to see what was bending the rod.

Yeah well I think this spot had 2 problems, someone (i have done it a few times but lost my lure) hooked the fountain rope and broke it and I think someone snagged the carp out of one pond.
It depends, I try not to push my luck at businesses. This place I might have stuck around as it was only one sign in the front....back half of the pond had no indication, also think they didn't like the fact of "outsiders" showing up. But the maintenance guy starts at like 7 so maybe on weekends I will hit it up early.

Florida Fishbooking huh.. I like the new name! Speaking of contests, we had our annual Christmas cruise for my company and I won 500 bucks in the raffle! Hello new fishing gear. First "contest" I've ever won!
What's up Boston!! Great to see you on here.

Yes he needs to change his name. Martin was soo much.....well.....Martin, lol. The contests here are cool. They also give away some nice things. The sponsors are amazing, and we really are a tight group here. I'm glad you guys gave it a chance. I know Mike is really happy to have you. The man you need to talk to about rods and reels is Ron. You might know him from Valley Sports. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Any questions you have feel free to ask. We don't judge here and after all we are here to learn. I can't wait to get this thing rolling again, especially in a new field. Lou, you and I have a bit of planning to do to make this interesting, lol. Martin......well.......you know what to do. And I will see you next weekend. We need to get the word to Gator, even though she will be absent for a bit. Now I can't hide anymore, lol.
LMG, you are right, when the time comes we definitely need to brain storm some. I am being approached about the contest and if I will be running both sites?? My answer was that I will be re-visiting the contest as May approaches. Right now I am focused on my upcoming season.

Well my morning didn't start off so well. Broken water main from 1:30 in the afternoon to 1:30 am.
Had to catch up on a few things around the house, off to my spot where I landed my avatar and a few others in the 4 or 5 range.....get to it, what is that thing sticking in the water...Haven't been in a few months...NO FISHING.....WTF I have fished here and seen other ocasionally fish for the last 2 yrs since I moved here...make a few casts, had a bump but I split, don't like being a douche bag that is disregarding the rules. Now here is my rant ~xyz ~rant ^-^ What is wrong with people today?!?! It is recreationally acceptable to smoke weed but F%$# fishing that S$%# needs to be stopped! And I like to thank all the other anglers out there, who aid in getting these signs place by leaving your line, used plastics or just being ignorant like fishing behind someones house or parking up on the grass because you don't want to park down the street(seen it at this particular spot) . Thanks for screwing the people that just want to be left alone and fish ~c~ .......~rant ~rant Rant over. Went to the spot up the road, it can be feast or famine there, get nothing or a whole lot of pot belly ones or two, then there is the ocasional 5 plus that you drag up. Well it was a famine day. Got there about 6:30 threw a jig for about 30 until the turtles stole the claws. Sun peaking up saw a few busting the surface, had a spinner bait so I gave that a go, fast slow top bottom over grass by culverts. Notta.....Supposed to be cold next couple days, looks like my next outting will be Friday
Sorry about your spot MCS. I had a similar thing occur at the park I fish at. They have placed no fishing signs around the biggest and most productive lake because a ski boat company has a contract with that park and I guess they want to keep fisherman out. Sucks big time!! That lake holds some pigs!!

Went out for a little while this morning. When I got to the park the wind and rain began. I said screw it. I put on a rain coat that have in the car and I went fishing. It was slow. I convinced 3 little guys to bite, and then I had to get going. Idk, when I will go out again.

hey guys ive been poking around both sites for a little here to try and decide where I like best lol I guess each has its benefits. As far as the fishing goes I haven't been getting out a whole lot, things are seriously slow around here so im keeping it to weekends until full on spawn kicks in. I went out on the boat Saturday to a small lake around my place. Didn't do terrible caught I think 6 between the two of us in about 2 hours and got chased off by the rain once. Today would have been my good day to go out with temps in the upper 60s/low 70s at 3 when I was off work but I didn't make it to the pond. Hopefully taking the boat out this weekend at some point so ill check back in.

The Snakeheads are still biting. I have noticed that they are a little slow to the chase sometimes. I caught one Sunday fishing with a brush hog style bait. It was weird because I was fishing pretty deep on a ledge and there was no violent head shaking going on.

Howdy Folks, I don't want to bust up a thread by getting off topic but did want to say welcome aboard. We are very excited to have you all checking us out.
Breezing through the thread I see that some of you have found the contest board, make sure to get involved there as I have a lot of great stuff to give away to include some Dobyns Rods and Rapsody Rods; tackle of all sorts and it's so easy to enter.
Also check out the main site for articles from everyday anglers that are sharing their little piece of the pie. I try to publish relevant news as well. Lots happening here on UB.
If there is anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable just let us know.

Heads up to my FL peeps. Due to the soon to be released CuradoHG, I will be selling a few things to get some funds together. I have a CiticaE that is on MINT condition. Yes I use it, and if you have been fishing with me, you know how I take care of my reels. I would like to get $80 for it, not including shipping. I will sell it with a Sellus rod MHF for $100, not including shipping. I am posting this here because it will be cheaper to ship in FL than out of state. And for those that live close enough, can pick it up, or meet up somewhere.

When is the release date? Do you have pics or a link to view the new reel curious to how it looks? Shimano always has a way of making their qulaity reels look like the smart girl at school. At least Daiwa are a little more to look at.

Well went out 7:15 to about 7:50 tried my proven baits when they are hugging the bottom in the summer, lot of dead sticking. cold and breezy, 37 degrees. couldn't take too much of that ~xyz so I called it a day. Monday supposed to be warmer morning near 50 right before a front pulls in.....So LMG you watch the weigh in? I was online looking at the leaderboard. Leader pulled in a 9-7 hawg! Didn't hear on what he was using did you?.....Also saw that next classic in 2015 will be in Hartwell, Wife's got family in Starr SC free place to stay and they have a pontoon boat too. Classics worth going to? I heard they have events off the water for the family but would like confirmation. I would love to take my kids to it, if so.

Yeah cuz it aint over yet. It usually comes out, Bassmaster was posting what like the top 3 or 5 used in the last few tourneys. That is what I find interesting, cuz I know the conditions, so I try to see how they solved the puzzle and file it away for later.

Nice catch - do you prefer the 3/4oz over the 1/2oz? Is that preference based on size of the baitfish or something else?

took the boat out today, pretty windy and in the upper 50s/low 60s water is still to cold up here in jax. Started out throwing cranks and topwater into the pads w no luck on either. buddy of mine switched up to the senko and pulled in two decent ones probably in the 3lb range. all I got was a crappie, however it was the biggest one ive caught ever and one of the bigger ones id seen before. Switched spots for the late afternoon and still not much luck, one 3lb 10oz on the senko was it. we desperately need a warm week here to warm up the waters and wake up some fish, but its not looking like were gonna get it this week.

Went out yesterday with the kids. bluegills were biting.
It was my daughters first time out with her first combo. Not quite Shimano
but it did the trick. ~gf
Had high hopes for this morning, slightly overcast, 50 degrees. And a big fat goose egg :'(. tried working brush and a flat with jig....then took a spoon and was running it over some grass. Try the pond that has been most productive the last month tomorrow. Throwing the baits I have gotten fish with, spinnerbait and t-rigged rattlesnake and see how that goes. then looks like too cold the rest of the week. hope the rain holds off for me ~rain

Went out this morning 6:45-8:05, started with a light drizzle then stopped. didn't get any on the spinnerbait or weightless rattlesnake. But did switch to the ol' gambler 7" in redshad green flake and landed a nice heathly 2 pounder. But didn't have much time left to continue fish, had to go to work.

I think Lou is heading out today and maybe mutt, good luck guys
I cannot wait for Monday morning, I know work day, but the warmer temps should have had a chance to set in.....even if I cannot figure out at least I will be comfortable doing it lol

So I took this crankbait out of its package to inspect it, and indeed. If you hold it up to your ear you can hear it croaking and red led lazer shoots out of its eyes. LOL.... Quoting Austin Powers Dr. Evil. "shooting freakin lazers out of its eyeballs" LOL....

Me and the boy got from 2:30-3:40 skunked tried a typically busy pond with lots of smaller active bass. Threw a spinnerbait, catch 5, grub and lipless. He got his first taste of a baitcaster and liked it. Abu ultra mag I lol you could tell he felt like a man using a caster lol. Good time.

Good question Mutt, MCS asked me the same question a little while ago. LOL.. I do not crankbait much, however I have been building up my arsenal of cranks lately for when I go out in the glades I can bang/deflect the crank on the ledges. I don't use the cranks for my everyday fishing for the simple reason if I get it stuck on something, I pretty much will lose it and I am too cheap for that. In the Glades I can just take my boat over to the spot that I am hung on and pop it the lure free.
I am happy i won this crankbait, because honestly I wouldn't spend the $$ on it. I may be singing a different tune if I come across some pigs while using this one though... LOL..

Went out on Lake Coral Springs for a few hours this morning with my wife's Grandfather. We caught a bunch, most on lizards and speed worms. Had a nice fight early with a Snakehead on my pad crusher. Sucker didn't want to give up.

spent a good part of today pond hopping in the boat. Had some good luck at the first spot but nothing big. I caught 1 on the popr and 3 more on a lizard. Got skunked at the second spot. Was hoping for some better action with this weather but hopefully a few more days of it will really bring them out to play.

Hit a couple small ponds this morning. Threw only a nickle 1/2 oz war eagle in mouse dbl willow.
Got a nice fish, survived 2 jumps and lost it a couple feet from shore in some slop. Had to be 3-3.5 which after this cold month was a nice solid fish, felt good to set a hook and tussle with. Dense fog this morning, feel like good things are happening this week.

Went out to a new spot with a buddy. Looked fishy, had pads and a ton of turtles. Took a while, and a lost spinnerbait, but finally got a little fatty, this suck had been eating well. Texas rigged rattlesnake was the bait of choice. Saw some massive blowups too. Promising spot, cant wait to get back there.

What's up gang. I know I have been MIA, as of late. I have been getting the line wet the last few days. Like you guys know I had to cx my Glades trip, this past SAT. So I went to the local canal on Sat, caught 0. Went out on Sunday, few blocks from my house, caught 5. 3 were decent. Went to the park for a little while this morning and caught 5. 4 were decent. Hopefully, I can report something really nice this Saturday.

Hi Hunter, the contest you that you keep hearing about is friendly competition that several of us on here participated in. Basically, you will bass fish all month, any bass you catch that you deem brag worthy, you measure its length and take a pic of it. You compare your longest 5 fish with that of others who are participating and the winner win's bragging rights for that month. Fun and simple. The contest can be pretty competitive and addicting. We are on a break for a little while.

Anyone using the big swimbaits like the hudds or the spro bbz's etc? A shell pit I fish has a lot of double digit bass in it but they've seen everything under the sun.
Thinking of trying these big baits.

Went out today (0730-1100). Partner and I put 10 in the boat. I had two in the 3-4lb range. Rest of fish were 1-2lbs with one dink under a pound.
Water temp 66-68°
Overcast with 10-15mph wind gust, steady wind.
All fish were caught on Gambler EZ swimmers. I tried a buzz frog and pop spro with slow presentation. None on spinderbait as well. All fish caught in 1-4' of water. Seen a few beds but no girls on them. Most bites were as soon as the bait hit the water on the edge of cover near the shore line. Two or three of the smaller fish were caught after hitting the bait two or three times in an row... they were angry lol
One of my good ones came off a point of vegetation and the other was in a patch of reeds in openish water. All fish were caught in coves off main lakes and mostly away from the wind current.
Had a great time out for sure.

Hey Mutt, remember the lure works effectively when placed in water. It will work sporatically if you shake it in your hand. And to answer your question, no I have not used mine yet, I will on Saturday. I will keep you posted.

Easiest thing to do is use photobucket.com or a site like that. You upload the picture then just copy and paste the (http:///%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3EHeres%20an%20example:%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/gomer_tnw/lake_zps1ff16ed3.jpg)

Mutt, when I shake mine it will croak. Then periodically the eyes will turn on and quickly turn off. I assuming the consistent movement of swimming in the water is what will activate and work properly. Have you fished yours yet? I will report tomorrow and let you know.

You will love the 683C. Got one from Ron after Christmas. Have already caught a ton of fish on it. Only caught a few today though, tough fishing on the Alley. At least where we were.

Fishing was way off today. It was bad, for me at least. We only caught 20 fish, and the biggest went for 3lbs. We started on the alley, fog was thick. Around 10 the fog lifted but the fishing was really slow. By 1130 I said screw it, and went to US 27. Fishing action was a little better. I saw a lot 4-5lb fish but they would not bite a thing. I tried the LL, it was cool. The lights lid up and it croaked, but that was it. Caught 0 fish on it. Most of my bigger fish was either on the frog or pitching.
Just got the call from my other BIL, going off shore fishing tomorrow. Man... you gotta love South Florida.

went out today on the boat from 3-6 after the rain cleared here in Jax. Still pretty cool out, air temps in the low 50s. Had a decent day though, caught 10 between my friend and I 5 each. Mine were 3 small ones, and 2 decent size but didn't weight any, id say somewhere in the 3lb range. All caught on a lizard w 3/16 bullet. Friend caught his on cranks and swim jigs. Heading out tomorrow to a new spot we have never boated before so hopefully well have some luck.

Went out today on Lake Coral Springs with Papa. Caught a bunch of 2# schoolies on the lake in the morning fog. Around 10ish we headed into the canal system looking for beds. We found them.some played, some laughed at me. We managed to each land a fish that was somewhere in the 5-6# range. Good day for both of us, and even better since it was his Birthday today. I got him a new reel, and a lunker for his Birthday. No pics right now, too tired to do any uploading, maybe tomorrow.

I posted in Catch of the Day.. brought in a decent 5.3lber today and a two 1-2lbers. Water was 60 compared to 67 earlier in the week and there was no wind... oddly enough it was warmer air temps as well.

I saw that West, nice catch. Maybe the lower temps had to do with the cool water from the rain?
So I went out today and had a skunkaroo. Nothing, not even a nibble.
spinnerbait and jig. Plan on tomorrow, front coming, hope bite is good.

I don't think I am ever going to sell this thing. Holy crap this reel is amazing! I would get rid of the Tatula and the T3 first. This Zillion is a casting machine! 30# braid and on a Dobyns Savvy 704 for now, and it slings a 1/4oz bait a country mile. I thought the Tatula Type-R was good, this thing makes it look like a Abu Black Max. Given the pricing it should, and it does.

I might be able to muster up the cash for that but then I have a rod not worthy. Right now I am in the spot to get a decent 60-80 dollar rod, 40 or 50 in tackle and then take the 6' lightning and find a cheaper BC reel off ebay or on sale for 40-50 to get my son going on it/use as a lipless setup. I mean I could sell the Quantum I just got, but selling stuff is always a hassle. Never get what you want out of it.

Why don't you wait for the Spring Classic at Bass Pro and get a Pro Qualifier for him. With the sale and the trade in you can get a great deal on a reel that is not a piece of ^-^ that will hold up to anything he does and will last a long time.
As far as the Zillion, I was gonna get a Dobyns Champion for it, but then I saw the new Abu Volatile rod that is more suitable for doing both fresh and inshore fishing. Plus its got the EVA foam grips that I like more.
Just go for it, you cant take the money with you, lo

Yeah the Volatiles are nice rods for the the price. If I got it I would look for a coastal XG or Lowrider Salt personally, and the Volatile would be number 2 on my list.
Yeah I looked at pro qualifiers. Do they usually drop them down to 79 or something at classic time? I have found some good deals on the out going Pfluegers and some deals on quantums. We will see. Man I don't have my $$$ yet so I can't count my chickens.

I can't stand the orange color. I have a lightning before they remodeled it that the Exceler is gonna go on. 6' MH with a short handle perfect for my son. I need a rod for the Energy now, another lighting or the Response in 7' MH.

Went out this morning with the boy to some new spots, too windy, didnt do well.
Salt water adventure cancel cuz wind. So we hit some local spots this evening. First spot didnt get a nibble second spot I got a little on the new h2o spinnerbait then my son wanted to pick the spot it paid off for me. He changed to a crank, pick his favorite color. I got a nice one on the spinnerbait then cast after picking a backlash out of the boys rig I got one on his crank. He enjoyed himself helping me get the fish out of the water and posing with them lol

Well the wind was howling at 20 knots, and the current was crazy. It was like someone opened the flood gates by the bridges! We managed a few grouper, some snappers, and also some grunts. It was fun fishing, but nothing big. We made friends with a pelican though. Coolest thing that I have ever seen though. This pelican was looking for a handout, and we gave him a little snapper. Then as I caught another one, he went airborn and was gliding in the wind next to the boat. So I wanted to see how talented he was, and yes he was able to catch the fish mid flight like a dog! Made for a good laugh. I am home now, and am awaiting work tomorrow, my Volatile rod should be here for my Zillion. Hopefully get out on the boat Saturday afternoon to get some good fishing in with the combo. Cant go Sunday since I am going down to Homestead Speedway for a race.

MH F 7'. Guides are really nice, high quality. Kind of like a Veritas, but with nicer grip area. Feels good in the hand, and sooooooooo light!. Put the Zillion on it and it balances perfectly. Made a few casts into the canal behind the shop, and its just like all other Abu rods, a little beefy, which is good. But no problem casting 1/4oz baits. I will have to take some pics of it later. It looks soo good with the Zillion on it. Abu did a really nice job with this rod.

For the life of me i don't know how that fished missed all those hooks. Then i switched to a spinnerbait and caught 3. Nothing to brag about though.

Stopped at a little spot in the Glades after work while the Wife was having dinner with the family. Managed a few Bass and a Warmouth while casting into the reeds and pads. I will say the Volatile rod is very sensative, and had no problems pulling the fish from the other side of the canal out of the vegetation. Very comfortable and very stout.

hey guys so this may be a repost for some of you that visit both sites but I wanted to get as many opinions as possible. So I decided to make the switch to baitcasters, figured id do it now while fishing is a little slow to get the hang of it for spring. now ive always been a spinner guy casting w the right hand and reeling w the left. I got a nice starter (abu silver max) right handed caster. I did good w it today first time using it but it just felt so weird to hold in the left hand and reel w the right. I couldn't get a good feel on my lures or rod. I understand its a big thing to get used to but im just curious if you all have any tips to get used to the change or should I just do the left handed caster?

It took me a while as well to get used to it. But it's way more accurate and just better lol! Come to the dark side lol
If it makes feel any better I have to swap spinning reels to right hand reel now lol
Maybe try that for a while and see what ya think? Takes 5 seconds to unscrew, reverse, and rescrew the handle on :-)

Got 3 on a lipless this morning, Longear was the color of choice. Didn't fish long on 30 minutes all bites where within the first 15. Did see lots of beds up by the culverts. This is a retention pond and there is nothing doing in the way of cover. I didn't have enough time to go and check out the back culvert where I pulled out some nice fish last year.

Was at Mikes house, from HawgTech, last night so he could take a few pics for his website. He mounted the handles on the T3 and the Zillion. The T3 looked really good with the curved handle on it. As far as the Zillion, its hard to say. The straight handle looked good, but I really like the way the blue anodized factory handle looks on it. I think Im gonna keep it that way for now. Who knows.

Got 3 on a lipless this morning, Longear was the color of choice. Didn't fish long on 30 minutes all bites where within the first 15. Did see lots of beds up by the culverts. This is a retention pond and there is nothing doing in the way of cover. I didn't have enough time to go and check out the back culvert where I pulled out some nice fish last year.
Time to get the trick worm out and piss off some females.

I don't play well with others. Especially... LMG.... kidding... kidding...
Just came back from the park, winds were 15-20kts out of the east. Cloudy Skies. Pulled out the spinner bait. Fished it just under the waves, caught 6, lost 5. They were avg 2lbs. Sure was fun though.

LOL... Great question... I do actually believe it or not. I saw several clients today in the wee hours of the morning, and just got in a little while ago from practice at the H.S. I had a 2 hour window to burn today so I went fishing.

Went out this AM to "Saddlecreek" park over in Lakeland. Definitely my last time going there I have been 3-4 times and always get skunked. It's a old mine and looks awesome. It's stocked with crappie and catfish. I think it's just to over fished.
Tried all sorts of things with nothing to show for it. First time I have been out and went zero in quiteva while.
Clear skys, water at 67°, air temp in low-mid 70°s. Wind at 5-10 part of the trip.

Got the daiwa exceler today. It feels well um the side plates feel plastic. But I like the handle and grips. Can't wait to use it. Bait order should be in tomorrow. Very excited got lots of gambler and some grande bass goodies. Heading out in the am with a buddy, hope to score a big girl before the front.

Well I spoke with a FWC guy on a call a month or so back out at Tenoroc. I read in Bassmaster that a 17lber was pulled from there which would break our state record. He said they pulled it on a shock. He also said they have had like 80 over 8lbs pulled since July of last year!!!
So I got to watching a reading about it and wanted to fish it this AM.. only ro realize they aren't open on Thursday...
Maybe one day soon I'll hit there and pull a few out!

That must have been exciting. Mutt if you don't mind me asking, if you know they were bedding, why didn't you switch gears on them and try something different? Or were you just locked on the frog bite?

I get what your saying Mutt. Especially, if they are showing consistent life on the frog. I would be hesitant to put the frog down, if I was getting consistent looks on my froggy. I can't help it either. LOL..

Went out yesterday late afternoon. Caught 4 bass and a Mayan Cichlid on a the spinnerbait again. Best fish went for +3lbs. Unfortunately, no fishing for me today at all. Got some family commitments. LMG, you will be pleased to know I won't be fishing during the week because I am pretty busy. I won't wet my line again til next weekend.... LOL.
Here is the pic of the bigger bass I caught yesterday.

Attention LMG.... When you get your new Curado, can please give me your review. My interest has been peaked. I have some reward point accumulated at BPS as well as gift cards. Unfortunately, they are on back order and sounds like they will be for a while. In the mean time I will read up on reviews before I pull the trigger.

I hate to burst your bubble, but it may be a while before I have one in my hands. I am going to be blowing my $200 on a new rod and a bunch of much needed soft plastics. Seeing as how I accumulated the Zillion, I have all the reels I need, for now, lol. On a side note Down4Ttown has one and is doing a review.
On a fishing note, I took one of my customers up through Lake Coral Springs yesterday. He is rather new to Bass fishing, but I managed to get him to catch one. He was rather impressed with my frog skills. I managed to get a female to bite the frog as I watched her inch up to it right at the boat. That he was excited to watch. Also got to show him how to watch the wake as the fish swims to it before the strike. All in all I caught about 10 decent 3 lbers Saturday. I will tell you that using the Zillion/Volatile combo and then switching to my Curado/Savvy combo is soo weird and different.

Nice and over cast today. Unfortunately the top water bite wasn't on. Hit Lk Panzy from 4-7ish. Finally just switched to a worm and caught two small guys. Water was 74° wind gust at 5-10 maybe. It was beautiful regardless.
Had two other boats loading when I did. Out of the four of them the caught one small one on a worm. They said they tried a ratltrap, plastic frog, and worms.
I tried a buzz frog, popper frog, popper spook (which i have killed with on a similar day on this same lake), a gambler got two slaps, and finally two on a worm.

I have been reading about you guys and your new gear and have decided to get a bait caster setup, but not sure what, the spring sale are starting and would like to pickup something. I need suggestions about a rod and reel in the mid price range, the rod needs to be tough like an ugly stix cause i am hard on them,
I have been looking at a lews speed spool and a shimano reel both about 100.00 , are these too cheap, not sure???

If you can manage to get one of the CuradoG's for the $99 then go for it. If not then I would go for the Pro Qualifier. As far as the rod is concerned, a Carbonlite or a Veritas rod would suite you just fine.

That is a good deal and depending on price range for your rod you have the Shimano Sellus, Clarus or the best bang for buck out there is the BPS Carbonlite like LMG said. I think also at Gander the Veritas are 79.99 but I am not a fan of White sorry. lol

Got the exceller all spooled up. It is a nice little reel and I will admit I like palming it better than my Quantum. I spooled it with 30# and put on a 1/16 oz bullet and a 4" grande bass finesse worm. Chart with purple/red flake...looks like it is glowing goo. Those fiesty yearlings and bucks are gonna love it! my boys will have a blast with them! The Exceler cast is great, I set it up idiot proof though, running almost full break and tighten the spool tension so my boy should be backlash and overrun free ~gf
I hear Lou talk up the Lews and I am not jumping ship on Quantum yet now that I got this reel for bass I have no need to drop 200 on another reel for bass. My eye is on the Lexa 300 and a nice inshore stick 8).....This is of course after I get my new stick for the Quantum and maybe play around with that reel a little lo lo lo

This morning I dismounted one of my Chronarch50E's which I used for my spook rig. Unspooled the mono and spooled it up with 30# braid. Its new home will be on a Veritas M F for a weekender rig. I figure I want to take 2 solid rigs with me on my boat when I go out on the weekends that can cover my basics, which are frogs and t-rigs. The Zillion/Volatile combo will be great to tie a Booyah frog on as it has plenty of backbone and action, and the reel speed is fast. The Chronarch50/Veritas combo, AKA Storm Trooper rig, will be perfect for those lighter T-rigs and anything else that I decide to tie on. If the Veritas is anything like my M F Vendetta I will have plenty of backbone with that rod. I took my Tatula Type-R/Clarus rod and tied the spook onto that. I was using it for traps, but lets get real, I throw the plug more than a crankbait. Even if I need I will just tie one onto it. That Type-R can sling a spook quite the distance with 14# mono. Im just gonna use the Clarus rod that the Chronarch50 was originally mounted on for the rod trade in towards the Veritas. That Clarus rod had a tip repair anyway, so I will sacrifice it to the fishing Gods. Now rather than having to decide which of my rigs Im gonna take on the boat with me, I can leave my Tourney rigs home and take 2 to cover the day. Im gonna drop about $150 on tackle in 2 weeks at BPS for the Classic sale, so that should bring me back up to par since I am quite low on stock right now.

I bought some stickbaits I was short on. Replaced the spinnerbait I lost on Sunday, and picked up some scroungers. Paired with a fluke on top or mid depth, will seem to attract some attention around my neck of the woods. I was told the 500 pts will hit my account in 4-6 weeks.

I bought some stickbaits I was short on. Replaced the spinnerbait I lost on Sunday, and picked up some scroungers. Paired with a fluke on top or mid depth, will seem to attract some attention around my neck of the woods. I was told the 500 pts will hit my account in 4-6 weeks. Maybe I will allocate those points back to a new curado I, hmmmmmm....... :-*
Nice!....So what brand of spinnerbait did you decide to go with? Old faithful Boooyah or a new brand?

LOL.... Yes... a.... Shimano.... I am not married to one brand. The Curado caught my attention, because Down4 town, says it palms similar to Lews. That's the main reason i didn't go with Chronarch. I didn't like the way it palmed. Revo's and Lews agree with my hand. That new Curado does look pretty sweet as well..

For the moment yes, I did go with Booyah, I was on a budget and for $5.99 they are not bad (I figured out why my previous spinnerbait broke. It was pretty used and banged up). Some other Spinnerbaits caught my attention based on some of the recommendations that were given.

For me it is. With the rod and reel trade in, just use them garage sale rods and reels to cash in the savings. You mean to tell me they will give me $15 for a rod that I got 3 of them for $5, OK!

You should seriously try Mike's spinnerbaits over at Siebert Outdoors. The spinnerbaits are $5.50. Plus he puts them on an Owner hook and they are powder coated. Awesome skirt selection as well.

West, I am seriously considering Seiberts baits. The materials are definitely attractive and the skirt options are intriguing. I simply bought the Booyah because I needed to by something to redeem the 500 pts from BPS. Thanks for the recommendation.

I really like the products on the page...but here is what kills me, SHIPPING, I don't fish jigs much so I just get a couple colors on sale so the only thing I would order is 3 or 4 spinnerbaits and I got to pay like 8 bucks shipping on that. Those 5.50 baits go to 7 bucks a pop. It is much easier to pop into a store and grab a booyah or H2o spinnerbait or wait til I place my yearly online order(because I won't pay for shipping more than I have to) with a retailer that sells everything I want.

Went out this morning. Threw a chart 4" worm with prpl/red flake 3/0 vmc and a 1/16 bullet on a 6' m rod with Exceler....Like the reel a lot, it is very light and very comfortable to palm. got a couple small ones, bigger than dinks but nothing special. Fun time though. ~gf
So oh wise one, I want to use my new baits. Rainy here today front coming in gonna drop the temps lows like 40, 30's next day but nothing prolonged. What to throw? :-\ don't worry it is multiple choice
A) lizard - got the new Havoc Boss Dog in motor oil red flake.
B) Big EZ.
C) BB Cricket.
Opinions everyone? Anyone? Tell my why you would use it and how you would rig it etc.
Just something fun, since you guys are a barrel full of monkeys to begin with ~roflmao

Rig the EZ weightless and work it on the surface. If they don't go for that, then T-Rig the lizard and hop it along the bottom. If that doesn't work, C-4 8)

45 and 8 mph wind this morning. Got one early he was about 12" swallowed my Big EZ and 6/0 Lol
I missed one in the second pond that was a decent fish. It seemed like more of a defensive hit, didn't hold and before I could stop reeling and set the hook I pulled the bait out.

Well I have a week to think about whether I am going to get the Veritas rod or not. I mounted my Chronarch50 on my Carbonlite that was just sitting in the corner, and kind of like it. Caught a fish with it yesterday, and forgot how nice and sensitive it is. The only reason I wanted the Veritas was to match the Chronarch in color. I'm afraid it won't be balanced right for me. The Carbonlite is a 6'6 and fits and feels good. Ugh, decisions decisions. ~b~

Thank you!
We decided mid day to go out fishing last minute today. I seriously thought it would stink as it was hot and sunny. In caught five and DH caught four. All were small but ONE :D. I hooked up with a nice 20". I think it was 3.2 pounds although I swore it felt heavier of course. In this particular spot I wouldn't have thought there were any of decent size so that was a nice start back!

Nah. Let me tell you one of the best inshore reels I have used is the Cardiff. For $100 it's pretty tough. Been using mine for a few years now. Haven't serviced it yet, just rinsed after use. No problems yet. Landed a 30# red on it and had zero issues. I rather use that then my Zillion. No need to spend big bucks on inshore, it's not like Bass fishing. Some might say the opposite, but you have more room inshore since you don't have the slop like Bass fishing.

I honestly can't bring myself to buy a Quantum anymore. If you are looking for a low profile kind of reel, maybe the Curado300E? I would take that over a Quantum product myself. I know you like them though. If you are willing to spend that kind of money, go for it. Just remember though, selling it if you don't like it may be tough.

I am like you selling is NOT an option. Well either way I got a while to sit and decide. I finally think I decided with a rod, once I get that I will have 8 months or so to ponder my next purchase. Reviews of both the quantums should be in and I hear good things about the lexa 300 so far.

Honestly you don't need a 300 sized reel for inshore. Think about how much 30-40# braid you can hold on a 200 size reel. There is nothing that is gonna spool you im sure. I use a Cardiff 200A with 40# braid, and never come close to being spooled by anything. You can hold close to 200 yds of braid on a 200 size reel. I think the 300 may be overkill unless you are planning on spooling it with 20-25# mono or something thick like that. If this helps you at all.

Went out this AM for two hours afrer work with a coworker. We caught 7, 5 being keeper size. Biggest were 2-3lbs.
Overcast, foggy, water temp 70°. Slight breeze.
My biggest choking on a "KVD Perfect Swim Fluke".. which by the way is not great. I got them crazy cheap awhile back.

The 22-24 pounds of drag too. I like the size too.... good to chuck bigger baits.....what's she say "bigger is better" and "size matters"....Plus I am shore bound.....I don't like those creek trout size reels most you "pro" bass fisher "men" like. I got a 20 size spinning reel for my kid but us 35 and 40 for bass. ~rant .......Maybe a smoke inshore or the lews inshore?......Tour MG....like I said I like kicking around the tires before I buy something and it is just something to talk about.

The Smoke baitcaster is pretty similar to the older model Energy PT I have. I am liking it very much myself. A little noisy on cast but smooth retireve and no backplay. Ton of muscle/drag to pull them in and I don't find it hard to tune nor does it need to be adjusted once a lure is dialed in. I have a hunch that next yr we will see the smoke revised, since like I said it leans towards the older models design/style wise. (Which LMG is right when he says the new energy models arent the same, the Smoke fills the old energy slot while they downgraded the new one to fit the $150 slot) It is all timing and stuff with these model releases and stuff. When that happens you better believe me I will jump on one or two if they drop to $100 bucks.

Don't forget to make it extra shiney for me. Oh, and do you have a seat and post in the back of that boat?

Of course there is a seat in the back. Full back seat actually.

If the post seat is removable, may I remove it while I fish? I never use them anyway and they get in the way of me fishing.

Just dropped a few bucks at Bass Pro today. I think I made record time in there as I made a list of what I needed to be able to get what I wanted and get out before any other temptations. Zoom products sale and BPS hooks sale I made out on BIGtime. Some braid with free scissors, and a bunch of Pad Crushers too. Some good deals there.

No problem Lou. I went over to Mike's house today, ended up with another HawgHandle, lol. Guess what he had there? The CuradoI. It's a nice looking reel in person. It's kinda Daiwa ish in the fact of the external kind of adjustment it has. Also, the way the side plate opens kind of looks like the 3D brake adjustment on the Daiwa T3. I can live without the reel, but lets be serious, I will eventually end up with one I'm sure. For now I am still hoping for a killer deal on some 50Es. Oh well, in the mean time I got me a new swept handle for my other Chronarch50E.

Picked up an 7ft MH Avid and a Revo STX today, then caught 5 dinks with it using 5in junebug senkos. Saw a big one slowly swimming by but she wouldn't take the senko.

Had a good day with Martin yesterday. We boated close to 50 fish, with a few Snakeheads in the mix. I had one on that gave me a fight, but using only 30# braid, it managed to sever the line. If I would have had a heavier rig that beast would have been boated. Oh well, I wanted a little UL fishing this time around.

I did manage to catch a record Myan Cichlid. Must have weighed close to 3 lbs, lol. I hooked it on a 5/0 EWG hook, so you can imagine the size of the mouth to give you an idea of the size of the fish!

No just kidding lol it's a 4 bank extension cord that rolls up. Got it on sale a while back.. stuuuuppid handy lol. The onboard plug comes out the back right there so she's plugged and charging!
Finally got a bump board and installed it right in and got the rod straps in as well! Went with the BPS velcro ones instead of the cheap bungie ones.

They young lady at BPS told me that next week is the last week BPS will carry the G's. After next week the shipments of I's will be more consistent. Works for me!!

I was going to make a last ditch effort to try to go but had to take time off to go to South Dakota for father-in-laws funeral. Wife stayed to help her mother and I had to pick her up at airport about 3 hours ago so it wouldn't 't have worked out.
Only time I fished Toho was 14 or so years ago and only caught 2 fish in 3 days fishing in a BASS tourney as a co-angler so I feel your pain.

Canesfan, maybe one day our roads will cross. Big G, speaks well about you. As far as the frog goes, it's one of the baits that I have 100% confidence in when the conditions are right. When people say I don't have luck with frogs, my opinion is they are simply not throwing them enough, or they are fishing their "confidence baits" and neglecting the frog. I stumbled across the frog years ago, and I fell in love with it the first time I threw it. You just have to give it more time on the the water, and you will see how you will get better at it. Concentrate on mastering how to walk it, and working around dense and sparse cover. Right now is one of the best times imho, to throw frogs in the glades. Water levels are dropping and nice fish are roaming after they have spawned. Best time to learn how to use and work the hollow body frog . Good luck.

Well a co-worker of mine's uncle owns a private lake. While we were in Toho Roland Martin and some my coworkers family were out catching 8lbers all day. The pics are stupid.. this place is stupid. Also I'm taking the wife to fish it Thursday AM! Lolol I can't wait. My coworker has tons of pictures from this place he has been bragging about. Another coworker and him went 3 weeks ago and caught like 5 or 6 over 6 lbs and two at 8 lol. I've seen his uncle holding a 14.3 and another guy holding a 11.4 from the same lake within the past 6 month. I'm praying I have such luck. I'd looove to break my 8lb PB but I mainly want the wife to catch a ton of fish and have a great time out. Did I mention I'm excited? Lol

That's a hell of a arsenal! I switched to the koppers w/50 red power pro this year from the crashers just to try something new. I got the OS-7's for all those CU-I's just haven't dropped them in yet. I think a lot of people take the seals off but I don't think its all that serious I'm sure they will run great with them on.

The seals can sometimes rub the balls and slow them down, from what I hear. That's why most take the seas off, from what I hear. I don't buy the 7's due to I get plenty of performance out of the 5's. Careful with the 7's, they can make a reel pretty nuts, lol.

Pics. Man it has been a while since I got a pic worthy fish. Gonna be heading out in the wee hours.
Action was at day break, what to throw what to throw? Got the mirro twitch bait rigged. Maybe a pop r? Lipless or spinner bait gotta cover ground and work fast. I need some good quality fish!

Well decent first 30 from 6am to 630. Had a decent fish, couple pounds, missed two or three blow ups and then I missed a nice one that struck on a fast retreive. ~xyz All came on the Mirrolure twitch bait, blue back/chart belly. Mirro is starting to grow on me, my son has a mirro catch 5, nice suspending twitch bait. suspends at 12" perfect for working the grass.

Have any of you South FL guys seen a large wolf pack consisting of peacock bass and largemouth bass swimming together. I did this afternoon, and I must say it was impressive to see at least 12 juvenile pea's ranging 1-2.5lbs swimming in school and on the out skirts seeing nice 2-3.5lb LMB bringing up the rear. I have never seen that before.

Yeah, I have seen what you are mentioning MCS. It's impressive to see a wolfpack consisting of 4-6lbrs. If you can convince one to bite, it can get the other ones in a frenzy to compete for food.

Had a nice morning on the water with one of my customers Mike. He had just purchased himself a PQ/Carbonlite combo and was eager to catch some fish. They were a little lazy to bite, but managed about 25 between us, with some nice ones in there. We started throwing cranks in the open lake, and Mike pulled in 3 back to back in one area on a deep diver. I managed one nice 4 lber off a brush hawg. Was a nice day out today.

I just came in a little while ago, defeated and heart broken. I went out to my local canal throwing a spinnerbait, and it was slow. Water was really stained, no fish were hitting, and then big momma decided to come out to play. This thing was HUGE!!!! We were battling and she made a strong surge to some limestone out crops and sheared my line. This beauty after catching a glimpse of her, was easily my PB or very close to it. Man... that one hurt.

I went back to place where I had my battle with the big one this past Sunday. I replaced the spinnerbaits that I lost, so I decided to throw the 1/2oz'r this evening. I got one good strike from 3+ lb bass but it got unbuttoned. The beast did not show its self unfortunately. It would have been cool to have caught her this time and get my spinner bait back. ;PHO)

Yeah I seen in my little to large ponds no carp, some carp and too many carp. Too many carp are definitely the worst case. But in any case FWC should stock some carp instead of squirting round up every where. I would think carp would be a cheaper more permanent solution.

Went out today not as chilly as yesterday. Only got 45 minutes in. Throwing a 4" finesse in chart/prpl&red flake. Got a ton of pickups and drops, ton of beds. All small didnt see a fish over 2 or 3. Best was casting and dragging, most hookset no one home did manage one. Sometimes they would hit 4 or 5 times if I just left it. Pick up drop pick up drop.....hate this time of yr

What falcon u looking at? I like them, was looking at a lowrider split but enter Ron and dobyn and Fitzgerald. I like falcon for salt, cranks but I dunno about their heavy. The jason christie look slick, but just a bucoo with different color. I decided to go over $100 then it kept getting bigger and bigger lol ask Lou he is tired of talking rods lol I got about $250 to play with including reel kit and few bait/lure items. Got a couple weeks to decide.

Went out today for a couple of hours, few and far between. Missed a few, caught about 3 nothing to brag about, and then I missed the big one... again!!! This time it was a nice snook!! As soon as my spinnerbait hit the water and I began to retrieve I saw a huge flash of white and huge boil it was momentarily hooked and it spit the hook. I have been off this week.

She is not the monster of last week, but this one will do. She went for 5lb 13oz. I caught her 3 times and fortunately the 3rd time stuck real good. Caught her on a t-rigged u-vibe.
Too bad its not Tuesday, because this one would have kicked off the competition to a good start. ~c~

It rained like crazy yesterday and I could see the water clarity was worse. Unfortunately I didn't get to fish since the wife planned something I thought would be 2 maybe 3 hours and we still aren't home. Been a nice day but sometimes it's aggravating when you been waiting all week to fish one day and the weather and plans mess things up.

So I went out. Debated on stopping or not but I did cuz I am busy at work but I did. Worked it later than usual since the action seemed at day break. 6:45ish when I got started. After seeing the frenzy I thought topwater would be it, but was tempted to stick with the spinnerbait because air temp was a chilly 46, I threw a bone rebel jumpin minnow, walking the dog. WOW was it on! Started with this one couple shots of him. followed by a couple that came un buttoned. Then I landed another smaller one. And then made a long cast and got one more,see couple pics below, biggest of the day. all in all I had 5 fish on, landed 3 in about 45 minutes tho there was a long pause because I got a knot in the line. Had a blast, need to get some new trebles on that lure, but I love those jumpin minnows. They cast well on my energy with m/f rod and they walk easy and have a loud rattle. Not bad for 2 bucks at wally world. I did well on it last season too.

Maybe do Lake George on the St. Johns. Stay at one of the many Fish Camps in the Welatka area? Mid Mid to late March they should be coming up on the beds. Just need to make sure that it is the week before or after the Elite Tourny.

Yeah a week before might be good....but a week after we would know what works...all the good fish would be caught. But either way I am gonna try 75% sure I can make it unless something with the kids comes up. Looking forward to it because I have a whole yr to plan it. instead of 2 months. LOL

My son and I just got in from the glades a little over an hour ago. We had a really good time. We went from 1030 to 630. We caught 49 fish, 42 which were my son's catches. I caught 4 that were braggin rights worthy but I will post those pics tomorrow on the other thread. i am beat. My son made me work today, but it was all worth it. For 7 yr old to hang out in the sun today and just enjoy fishing is quite a accomplishment I would say.

He did great, he was patient and he took his time working the fluke, after a miss strike he would leave the fluke in the water for the fish to return. Most of the time the fish came back... LOl.. Then he wanted to cast and remove the fish by himself. I talked him through it and he did it. The highlight of the trip was when he landed a 6lb mudfish. He was going nuts fighting this thing. I will post the pic in the the morning.
Good luck out in the "O" tomorrow.

MCS you can go on your smart phone or computer and get a new fishing license. All you need is a debit card. Kinda cool, you enter your drivers license number and it will tell your date. Also they mail it out to you. If you get stopped until then FWC can just run your DL and see you got one. Happened to the wife and I once. Here it is: https://license.myfwc.com/Customer/CustomerLookup

I will tell you what, the more I used the Tatula/Savvy combo today, the more I fell in love with it. That combo really took a beating today. Talk about tossing a bait a good almost 40yds with 40# braid. And to think, it hasn't even been opened up and tuned yet, lol. Another thing, that Champion736 really shined tossing that Booyah Popping Pad Crusher. I was really surprised with the Super Duty also. Loaded with 65# braid, it tossed that frog pretty damn far. I think I'm gonna leave that combo for that and use my Savvy705 for something else. I had one fish come up out of some pepper grass and crush that frog. It tried to make a dive for it, but when I set that hook and used that rod for all it was, that fish had no chance. I can't wait till my Coalition704 gets here so I can mount my Chronarch50 on it.

So now that I am kind of thinning out the herd per say, I think I will make a setup for throwing very light baits. The baits I am referring to would be like small texas rigged soft plastics, like a baby brush hog and a 1/32oz weight, or small cranks or Zara Puppy spooks. I am going to use my Curado50E and my 6'6 Carbonlite rod. I have a spool of 10# YoZuri that I can use to spool it for this. I change crap around soo much, lol.

So now that I am kind of thinning out the herd per say, I think I will make a setup for throwing very light baits. The baits I am referring to would be like small texas rigged soft plastics, like a baby brush hog and a 1/32oz weight, or small cranks or Zara Puppy spooks. I am going to use my Curado50E and my 6'6 Carbonlite rod. I have a spool of 10# YoZuri that I can use to spool it for this. I change crap around soo much, lol.

By 2:00pm you will probably decide to upgrade to another reel and rod... LOL ~roflmao

Got bored last night and decided to do some tinkering. Since I am retiring my CuradoE7 from frog duty, I decided to put it on display with my other reels. I swapped the HawgHandle to the Chronarch, along with the tension knob and drag star for a different look. Hopefully I have a CU200B trade coming with the CiticaE swap to go with my CU100B for display.

Funny I love white rods and reels. Not the pearl white though. I normally don't care for the plastic looking shimanos but that one looks decent in white.
That frog setup looks great Lou.

Wife's doctors appointment was yesterday to get her stitches out and check up. She is doing good, but still in minor pain. Everything seems to be normal, and she should be returning to work on Monday. Thank God! The cable and electronic bills are gonna be killer for the past few weeks, lol. In a few weeks we will be heading to Polk County to see her Grandfather, so that will be good for her.

Just finished lunch, and now I can type, lol..
I swapped out my Lews MG off my MH 7 ft Avid, and put on the Curado I to take it for a test drive out to the park this morning. Here are my initial impressions with the 2 hours of fishing I did with this reel. Right off the bat, I felt the weight difference. Before any one comments... that is not a bad thing. It feels like a very solid piece of equipment. I utilized only 2 brakes and the castability was great. I threw 1/2 oz and 3/8 oz spinnerbaits with ease and pretty darn far. I switched over to a 4" stickworm with a 1/16 weight and it threw that pretty good too. I had to adjust the brakes with the dial to a 2 because the wind was blowing pretty good, but the reel did great, small overrun but that's understandable. I was casting into the wind!!
The feature that actually stood out for me and I really, really enjoyed was the handle. The knobs are great and the length of the handle suited me well. If I had to nit pick, it would be one detail, that I corrected for already. The bottom right hand corner has an edge to it, that requires, at least me, to modify the way I hold the reel. Compared to the Revo's, LEWS, and Quantums that I own or have owned, that edge stands out to me. This is my first Shimano low profile reel I have ever owned, and I know that design is unique to this reel because I have fished with LMG's Chronarch's and they did not have that edge to them. Again.... it's not a big deal. After the first hour I forgot it was there.
The true test for this reel for me, will be when I take it out to the glades for some frog fishing. Although I think this reel is going to be awesome for that type of fishing. Lastly, the question if this reel will replace any more reels in my current line up? The answer would be yes, I see myself replacing my third gen Revo S for another Curado I. The only Abu reel in my arsenal that I do not see myself parting with is the 3rd Gen STX. This Curado I, will replace my 2nd Gen Abu SX that I use for froggin and the reel has already found a nice home that is anxiously waiting to accept it. ;)

Soooo... I put the curado back on to the champion. After fishing this reel for 2 days, this definitely going to be an awsome froggin reel. I used a booyah frog for a little while yesterday and I was just doing light wrist casts and the frog cruised across the canal. Now casting a koppers in the glades is going to be crazy!!

Went out this late afternoon looking to cull some of my catches and mother nature decided other wise. Got close to hour in before the heavens opened up. Nothing was happening. The top blade of spinnerbait broke right in the middle of the swivel. Never seen that before. Also last two days people have been in my stretch of a canal, where no one usually fishes. They even parked on the same exact spot I park on. LOL..

Hey LMG... the pairing of the Curado with the Champion 736 was unbelievable.. :o
The reel was great. I am glad I got it in the 7:2 ratio. Once I stuck a fish, i had complete control over them. I am going to enjoy this set up for years. Hope you had a good outing today.

Nah. They were all in the 13-15" range. I was just glad he caught a bunch with the way the water and conditions were. He is definitely a prodigy of the jig, lol. Gave him a $400 setup to use and he was slaying them. Another baitcaster conversion, lol. And to think, today was a slow day.

Sure no problem. It's not much a 1996 Crinchfield with a 1996 Evenrude 40 hp, with a 50 lb thrust Minn Kota Edge. 14 ft x 60", so it's not the most stable boat out there. I replaced the bad 6 gal tank with a 12 gal tank, but that made some weight issues. So I moved the battery from the compartment behind the driver to in front of the rear deck port side. I also made two pods that are foam filled and mounted to the transom which helps with extra rear flotation. There is a small livewell port side on the rear deck and I also converted the storage area in front of the consul into another bait/livewell. I can shut it off and usually do. There is a good size storage box, which has a plug in it and could be used for a lake fed live well, on the port side. It holds life jackets, throw cushion, misc other stuff. The forward deck is small and it holds the trolling battery, or I should say batteries as I have two hooked up in parallel which gives me more run time. I added a cooler, which I thought might give me more standing area, but I usually end up using the seat instead as it just feels more stabil and I can't stand for to long anymore anyway. I put my plastics bag and my cooler bag in the cooler and they both fit perfectly. I usually use the cooler to sit on when changing baits and such. The driver seat pulls up to use for the back deck if needed. I have a simple HB 190 Dual Cone FF, that is not shown as I take it off and put away when done.
I have learned to set the throttle froward and the lay the seat down once I started using 7 ft and longer rods. It was easy to catch the bait on them and cause a huge backlash if you weren't careful.
I'd love a bigger better boat, but she's all I've got so I do the best I can with it.
Anyways here are a few pics.

I'm done for the weekend. My back can't take anymore. I did pretty good this trip, since last time here in January I only caught about 5 fish total for the weekend. Nothing big, but at least they were more active. I really put a hurtin on them with my new Siebert Outdoors swim jigs. Running them through the grass was the ticket for getting them to bite this time. It's nap time, lol.

DUDE I must have passed it at least ten times in my life. last time was going to the college over there. But that is on the way down south. It was before I really fished seriously, chuck a dead shrimp off a dock with the BIL, lived in St. Pete at the time.
I supposed you heard the Hawgtech boys killed it at the tourney. 37 pounds.

So this is the stuff that KILLS me. I was looking around Cabelas(online) for deals, I see they have the new quantums so I look at the new KVD reel with DUAL(this will be important later) braking. The reviews terrible then one guy speaks up says the reel is good, and really good for the price point. The folks who are writing the horrible reviews are only setting the mag brakes lol they aren't opening and setting the ACS. People have NO CLUE about the product they purchase then want to bash them because you were too fricken stupid to figure it out. Now admittedly the good review said the instruction book is vague. But dude they have videos of every reel online. You telling me your knowledgeable enough to write a review but don't research products? Seriously people your stupid. ~b~ ^-^ ~xyz ~rant ~rant ~rant ~rant ~rant
I went to TW and the first review were the same. Folks don't know how to set brakes either if it aint got a knobby on the outside. ~rant ~xyz ^-^ ^-^ ~xyz ~rant ~rant ~rant ~xyz ^-^ >:( ~b~
And you wonder why Quantum has a bad reputation, the sheeple just flock to this crap. Blind lead the Blind. Maybe shimano isn't really any different performance(not quality or durability - different words) wise, (gasp) maybe it just is idiot proof. LMAO ~roflmao ~roflmao ~roflmao

Yeah I wasn't really bashing shimano either. I understand quantum, like a reel repair guy said, lacks certain refinements like high standard on the QC and maybe they use softer brass for the gear I dunno.
But they perform very good, and due to their price point they perform awesome. If you can stand a little blemish in the paint, taking a few extra steps to clean (or the assumption that basic instructions can be omitted) etc. It is just that if your are going to go to every website and bash a product at least it could be for a real failure or short coming not because you are too stupid to figure out how to use it. That's all.
Just shows you that folks these day want shit handed to them, whether it is casting a reel, figuring out how to catch fish or finding a good spot.

Right, seriously reviews are about useful as the good/bad karma button that they used to have here.
Do away with them, to are too many uniformed or un accurate reviews. I got into Quantums because I fished a friends, and I talked to buddies that had them not from reviews if you buy off reviews you might as buy blind folded. :-\ And I am not set on them(quantums) but right now you cannot beat the energy IV or is it VI and now the Smoke 100s going for less that a $100. ~shhh Given the oppoutunity I will google up a Revo SX or an closeout Exceler given the chance ;D

Interestingly enough LMG the folks I trust the most(other than you) don't really fish them(the darkside).
They are either Abu/Lews or Quantum users. If Lou don't blow me off for states, I am very interested
in fishing one and comparing. Also please do note, I only use Pflueger spinning reels as I have 3 and a couple have been submerged and in salt water and sand, mud. And still go, admittedly the templar only with a rinsing until I got the cleaning kit, my bad. So I am far from brand loyal to a point. I for sure pick an Advantage or Ballistic spinner up maybe a Cabo.

I one I like over the zillion is the Steez, They even have one in Ravens colors LOL. Both are outta my $$ league. But the casting distance claims on the Tatula and knowing Ron can score me one have peeked my interest.

make it sound like I don't need to spend the extra $$
So whats the big difference in your opinion on the R versus std tatula?

I agree on the Shimano "attitude" a lot of guys have. No clue why either. It's just another brand. I don't fish them because they look plasticity to me and don't fit my hand well. Just like I stopped fishing the circle style Abu Garcia reels.. they are no where near as comfortable as my Lew's. It's a just preference.

I was fishing with a buddy that had just gotten a new Lews TP and was bitching about it backlashing constantly. I asked him if he had set it first and he replied no it was just the way it came out of the box. Then he put it down and told me he was taking it back for another Speed Spool (which are great reels for the money).
Last time I was out with him I mentioned that I was thinking of moving up from Speed Spools to TP's and he said "that's what this one is. Did you know that it had brakes inside it too". Guess he didn't know what I meant when I asked him if he had set it up first.

I like lews too! I like the TP and the inshore. I really dig my energy but with all these brands/reels to try I dunno if I get another so soon unless it is a smoke. Some will boil cost vs want.

Lews is pretty good. I like my Super Duty, and they do palm really well with the small size. A little too small for my liking actually, but it serves well as a frog reel due to its construction.

Just got back from my work trip to Miami for 3 days. I only had the time to get out and go after my first peacock for only a few hours on Wed. I followed Lou's advice and stuck to the canal system off of the airport. There weren't a whole lot of bank fishing options. Everything is either fenced or posted. The few spots that I found were in the hood so I had to take my life into my own hands to try and catch my first peacock ~sweat . I managed to catch one about a 1 1/2 lbs. off of a silver Yozuri minnow fished on a fast retrieve under a bridge. Fought like a 3 lb largemouth! Pretty fun and lost one other. I wish that I had a little more time to fish and explore some other areas. Thanks Lou and LMG for the help and advice! ~c~

Going out Sunday morning with Speedy again to see if I can get him some frog and jig action. I have to call it quits by 11am because my Wifes friend decided to plan a little party from 12-3. WTF? Who the hell plans a party on a Sunday at that time! What a way top ruin a good Sunday for everybody.

Get one with dual brakes (centrifugal and magnetic) to help with the learning curve. Something like a BPS Pro Qualifier is a perfect one for a great price. Best advice a Pro Qualifier in a 6 speed, and a MH F Carbonlite rod.

LOL... I couldn't resist, so I took the gold shiner spinnerbait to the canal for a half hour. This time of day with this heat is a little challenging, but i wanted to see how the bait swam. It's really nice, and has tight compact profile. By surprise a peacock came out of no where and swiped at it, but it missed the hook. I will take the bluegill out for a swim later this evening. ~shhh

I learned not too long ago, been using it for about a year or so maybe longer. I prefer it now over spinning gear. Setup is the key and use your thumb. The spool tension adjustments are the biggest thing to dial it in. Start with cheap mono just in case, get braid when you are decent. Picking backlashes out with braid is waaay easier. Dont go too cheap on your first caster. IMO if I were you I would get a lews or tatula in the $150 range.(God forbid I say quantum >:D , LMG PoPo will lock this up and kick me out lo). IMO when casting it is more about a smooth effortless motion, over a spinning rig, if you try to umph it out there you will overrun. Other then that the resident experst should have more sound advice. I just like putting my 2 cents worth in......Get a quantum energy PT VI off ebay ~shhh great reel was 190 now since closed out under 100 nib. 8)

Yeah Gator listen to LMG on this one. I have never used a Pro qualifier, but from what I hear its a good reel. 6:4 ratio with 7ft MH/F rod like the Carbonlite and you are good to go.

I'm on my way home so I will check and see what it is. I know I asked here before he bought it as far as what to get. It's just been spooled up and sitting there because I've been so busy. When it comes time to fish I automatically grab my spinning gear.

When you get home, just let us know what you got. I am sure someone has or have had that reel at one point or another. Right now brand means nothing to you because you have 0 experience with a b/c. As soon has you start learning the ropes and your skillset improves, you will branch out and see what brand most suits you. ;)

Nice Setup. I have the 6-6 MH/F in spinning. It is a horse, light and sensative. I had it with my dobyns, granted that is a 7-3 and it is lighter than that combo even with my 40 size pflueger

Just go fish. Set the centrifugal brakes to 2 on, and the magnetic brakes at max. Set the spool tension knob so that the bait just about falls freely with the rod at a 45 degree angle. Back off the magnetic brakes as you get more comfortable.

^^^ This exactly..
Another trick if you are super bad is the tape trick. Cast out then pull off some extra line. Then wrap a piece of tape around the spool and reel it back in. If you get a bad bird nest you can cut the line there instead of destroying so much. I went out in the yard and practiced with a weighted swimbait and I hid the hook in the plastic. Aka a heavy bait..
Oh and a tip. Don't rip it out like more of a flick and thumb pressure will get you further. Also turn the mag down slightly as you improve. But a windy day casting into the wind. No shame on using the brakes... that's why you have them. I'd rather use brakes into the wind then dig knots out and get less water time.
Good luck!! Oh and perfect reel choice.

Fishing gator, I have only been fishing for about a year and I had never used a bait caster until I decided to get serious about bass fishing. Don't get discouraged when you get rats nest. It's going to happen. Just remember practice makes perfect and it will get better. After a year, I am finally getting better. I still use a spinning reel for flipping worms but everything else is now a casting reel.

It will be weird but u get used to it I tried to tell Dsidle. You will get so used to it you can switch and thumb with the left before your lure its the water. Practice makes perfect. Go slow at first and you with get faster later. Like riding a bike

Just remember, when using a spinning rig you control the fish with the rod, so that's in your dominant hand. With a baitcaster, dominant hand reels since its more of a winch. Like MCS says, it will come naturally.

You will just take 75 back towards 595/Sawgrass Expwy. Go North towards Coral Springs. Get off at Commercial Blvd. Go East (only direction you can go anyway) till you get to University Dr. and make a right. I think its the first light, which is 50th street, and go left. Take that road all the way down to my community, which is Hills of Inverarry. I will give you the exact address if you want so you can map it.

If you don't mind what do you do?....When I lived in VA I had a hour to hour thirty commute. ~b~ It sucked. I don't know how people do it. I hated it. ~xyz Now it is 15-25 minutes. :) The region as a whole sucks, it like that everywhere in MD and VA. I don't want to be a slave to my job.

I am a mid level provider in a medical office. Once we get the honeymoon over I'm going to brush up the old résumé and start looking. We can only move so far with his kids so even if we moved closer it wouldn't be close enough and this particular place is sucking the life out of me. I'm under contract but I can't wait two more years.

I know how it feels again, one of my other moves lo from LV back to MD I got a 2 yr contract. 1.5 hour commute, soul sucking boss and non inspiring work :'(....I broke that deal and paid it out with my next moving bonus so I had to eat some of the move costs but boy was it worth it! Can't put a price on stress free. I understand about the kids, and wouldn't want to be too far away myself if I was in that position......Good Luck with the job hunt.

Ok. This is the funniest thing ever! So you guys see the picture that I just posted. So read this. I'm on the driveway, and I'm pitching turnout in the grass. The wind is blowing a bit so I wanted to see what the Zillion needed for adjusting. I pitched the jig a few times. On the fourth pitch, this Damn bird comes out of the tree and picks up my jig! Just goes to show.....You really can catch anything off a jig. Lol

Anybody here have any decent baitcasters that they don't use anymore that they wouldn't mind parting with? Now that my friend Speedy has really got into fishing, I want to get him his own rig so he doesn't keep using my $$$ equipment. If something breaks within his possession he doesn't want that burden. I have a rod for him that he can have, but I have sold off all the reels I didn't need/use, so I have nothing to give him. He is going through a tough divorce, and has $0. I would just buy him one, but I am having a hard time scraping $$ for an outboard for my boat as it is. I just thought to maybe reach out to you fellow members. Maybe there is something I can trade?

I would just buy him one, but I am having a hard time scraping $$ for an outboard for my boat as it is. I just thought to maybe reach out to you fellow members. Maybe there is something I can trade?
I thought I saw a crappy greenish reel sitting on a shelf.....Give him that one :shocking: ~shade >:D ~roflmao

I always say do good for others and you will be rewarded in the end. A CuradoD that has needed some major attention. A worker at a parts store that is a great person asked me to fix his reel. No problem. Shot bearings, knobs, a few tension plates, and a new set of Bocas. This thing is gonna sing when I'm done.

I just sole my GT Performer BMX bike. I now have $325 towards the motor for my boat. I have to find the title for my other boat so the guy can take that away and give me $100. Gonna put the trailer for the old boat on Craigslist for $400 and hopefully sell it quick. Gonna redo the transome wood on my boat and put a 5 or 6 hp motor on the back. Hopefully within the next month or so. I will be able to put the deck back on the front of my boat the way I had planned.

I hit up one of my local lakes this week. I was hopeful for a good frog bite that didn't happen. It got bright and hot real quick so I started flipping. I managed a nice 5 pounder on a Bitters Bug! She fought like a freight train with about 4' of line out! I caught a couple more flipping a Bitters Muskrat and ended up upsizing to a Missile D Bomb because I was getting attacked by bream. It worked and I ended up with a couple more keepers and lost a 3 pounder at the boat. ~xyz I really liked the D Bomb after fishing with it for the first time. It is a little bigger and the body is super soft and hides the hook really well under the "rings". Great action too. I'm excited to fish them a little more.
Stay safe out there this weekend fellas. PoPo All of the crazies will be on the water. I may stick to pond hopping to avoid the crowds. :-*

Uhm ok...doesn't wow me
I think the best looking reels out there are daiwas, the zillion r, pixy r, steez...NOT shimanos or those 13 fishing.

Yeah. He wanted the Hawg Handle. Trade and cash for a BB1, maybe that reel will suit my style better. Always wanted to try one anyway, just couldn't pull the trigger on one. If I don't like it, I will try something else maybe. Just trying to thin the herd a bit. Im gonna try and sell the Crucial and Clarus for $200 shipped. They are like brand new.

Can we say "swept handle with blue accents"! Pics to come later! Also gonna add a bearing to the worm gear to make for one silky smooth reel when I am done with it.

Not likely. I have a special rod coming to match it. Will be my exclusive pitching rod. The zillion really is a bad mofo. Daiwa top end reels are really top end. Same goes for shimano too. Next project is to beef up my tatula and team Lews pro. May start on the stx too to make it fit my style.

From what I have been told the levelwind bearings are the same as the knob bearings in the Tat and the Shimanos. I have plenty of Shimano knob bearings to play with. Maybe while I do the Zillion I may do my Tat to. I will try to pick a few extras up from Mike tonight. Also, maybe to save you a few bucks, the consensus is that the bearing upgrade in the Tat (especially the Type-R) is barely noticeable in the performance gain.

Price? Have you seen what some of those other handles cost? If you ask me its one hell of a deal. They are more for the "enthusiast" fisher per say. They do make a hell of a difference though.

Lews comes with knobs and it is $50 bucks for carbon fiber.....Abu Garcia $50 with out knobs...
If I cannot use the stock knobs that puts the total cost of the handle up near $100. Forget that. I can get an Abu 95 mili handle that will make a "hell of a difference" for $30 bucks. I been shopping, I know. Them handles are dang near the price of the Japanese stuff but you only have two knobs you can use. :-\ ....Remember form follows function. lo

Not bad prices for those, but think about quality of the handle, and the advantage of the Hawg Handles is the added length for more torque and control.

Most stock handles are 80-90 mm the lews cf and the almn is 95 mm...The hawg tech is I think 100 mm right? So I am rolling with the alumn abu, especially since it is an abu reel. And the PVC grips won me over so I need not replace them....Just sayin. It is all personal preference. I ain;t gonna lie other than the shimano knobs the hawg tech looks sweet, especially the swept but not worth it for me....a basser on a budget.

It was the same time frame as the "chameleon chrome" energy PT. Little heavy but build like tanks. 2006ish....model before the red one, might not have the KVD moniker attached until the next version.

So I though yall would get a kick out of this.
I text Martin earlier. I asked him if he wanted to go fishing Sunday.
He text me back maybe, where?
I text him back, in the Glades.
He text back, why not Lake Coral Springs?
I said there are better fish right now in the Glades right now.
He text back, in your boat?
I said yes!
He said he said he would have to get back to me.
I said, Dont be a "woops".
I haven't heard back from him yet. Lol.
He buys a motorcycle and he is afraid to be on my boat in the Glades?
My boat holds better than most of the crap I see floating around out there. Lol
I dont know what to do with that poor soul. 😂

I hit up one of the local honey holes today. Started out with a Skinny Dipper in Houdini and started getting quite a few soft hits. Caught quite a few decent fish up to 3 lbs and lost just as many. Switched over to a Strike King swim jig in "woops"y shad since the water was pretty off colored. I started connecting a lot better and losing less fish. The quality upgraded as well. I found some wood and started flipping an All Terrain flipping jig 1 oz. in junebug with a Bitters Muskrat trailer in junebug and it was on! I had one hit that almost took the flipping stick out of my hand when I set the hook! I never saw her and saw the swirl and boil about the size of a trash can! ~xyz I ended up following up with several really good fish up to about 7 lbs all flipping standing timber. I felt like I was in Texas! lo I'm not to crazy about how well the All Terrain jig held up. The paint on the head was completely gone so I switched over to an All Terrain Black and Blue flipping jig 1 oz. with a Bitter's Muskrat trailer in blueberry. I did just as well on that color. I am really learning to gain confidence on flipping jigs into heavy cover. I heard great things about the Hack Attack and Oldham jigs for flipping grass so I am going to try them out. All and all it was a great day on the water. I feel blessed to have a little success and to gain more confidence in a new technique! Good luck to all fishing this weekend!

After speaking with him for a while and getting to know him, I purchased another Curado I and Dobyn's Savvy 703. The champion offer was attractive, however I had to subdue the bait monkey a little, lol... and go the Savvy route. I had to stay in budget. Needless to say I am very excited to say the least for this new outfit. Ron, is a pleasure speak to, and he really came up with a deal I could not pass up. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Pics in a few days.

Depends on the brand for the H rating. Like I said, every brand is different in the way they handle. Now if you are planning on using it for really light or finesse fishing, it will be great.

Back the spool with old unwanted braid (keeps the weight down, rather than using mono), then a piece of electrical tape. Then fill the rest of the spool with the regular braid you will use. Better for casting light baits.

No. It's just with a braid backing you want to separate them. In a mono backing, a lot of people will tie the two together with an Albright knot. I still don't even do that. I spool on the backing, the use a piece of tape long enough to wrap the spool and grab on to itself. Basically you are making the spool more shallow. You don't need say 180yds of 30# braid, but the only reason you are spoiling that on is for lighter baits. So back with a lighter line to make the spool spin faster quicker. 30# braid is like 8# diameter, so the spool is way to deep on say a Curado. Fill the spool 1/3 to 1/2 way with garbage braid, then an electrical tape seal, then the rest with your casting line. 1/8 to 1/4oz baits should sling easy with that 3 power Dobyns rod.

Not too bad. Now that there has been a total of 4 bearings added to this reel (2 for the wrom gear, and the Hawg Handle is 2 per knob when the stock handle only had 1 per knob), this thing is really smooth!!
They are the same bearings that can be found in all the Shimano knobs and the Tatula knobs.

Hey I noticed the line on your spool what line is it? My only dislike of power pro so far is how stiff and plastic feeling it stays, it is starting the break in. But the other brand I have been using breaks in and looks like what you got on your spool after a trip or two, though I am not sure if I can get it anymore.

Its Sufix 832. Im not a big fan of it. Got a really good deal on a spool of it, and needed some in a pinch. I only use Power Pro on my other reels.

I like power pro and the stren because i can feels the weave. the sufix braid and 832 felt just like spider wire >:(
I plan to get a spool of stren and see how i compares to the stuff I have and like, then decide to stick with that or pp

I just keep giving up on fluoro due to the stiffness though. I was thinking either a 12# fluoro or a 14-15# mono. I'm gonna mount it on the Coalition704 and play with it this weekend. I should have the reel today, so I will open it and look to see if it is par for my liking first.

Since Curado's are the recent topic. I did some reel and rod swapping. I decided to make the 2nd Curado my pitching reel. I wanted to take advantage of those nice long handles and drag power. I also think because its a little beefy, it will balance out my LTB a little better. The TTpro I spooled up with 30lb pp and I will match that with the Savvy. The lighter Lews should make that 703 an interesting combo for light soft plastics. I will post pics when everything is set up.

Big time. And then when you get the handle, it spoils you. Makes every handle feel short, lol.

The donor reels. The B has Carbontex drag and Abec 5s. The E has the crank bearing. Since they will both be sitting on the shelf, they have to give up the goods to the D.

Come to find out that what I thought was a plastic gear is actually an aluminum gear that is painted for corrosion resistance from the factory. OK, guess I have to go swap the gears back out when I get home later. Its a good thing I didn't put the 100B back together, lol.

Are you still using the boat you and I fished out of for the 5HP motor or did you get another small aluminum boat?

well, I bought another little boat today, I wanted to get rid of my 12' jon for awhile but still wanted to fish small places, so i got a bass hunter baby bass, my friend has one and likes it a lot, very stable and light so i can pull it around without braking my back. it has wheels built into it, that makes it easy to move around, now i need to sell the jon boat and get a bigger boat for family outings v~

I am going to put new wood on the transom, and add a little touch to it so I can mount the new Mercury to it. Also, going to finally paint the inside of the boat and install the front deck that has been sitting in the garage for a year. Its gonna be like a whole new boat when I am done. Might take a few weeks. Im soo excited.

Just a snippet of a review of the new setup. I only fished with it for a little bit, but in that short time I can say that this is the style of rod I wanted. It is perfectly designed for finesse and light applications that's for sure. The tip is softer, there is no denying that. However, its that type of action that I like for finesse and light applications. Unfortunately though, I was not successful catching anything this evening so I cannot say right now how the rod handles playing or landing a fish. Hopefully that will change soon. Tomorrow Curado #2 arrives and I will be done with gear for a looong time.

Big time. Pretty much have a brand new truck, new factory motor, and new transmission. Redid the interior. Obviously you see what I have been doing to the boat. Finished painting the rest of the inside. Will do some fiinishing touching up Sunday morning. Got to go back to Home Depot to get the wood to make the transom plates. The deck I had built is gonna make this one hell of a Jon Boat. Pretty much gonna be a 13ft Bass Boat, lol. As long as it floats, I will catch fish.

I headed back to one of my local honey holes that I did really well last time. This time I was armed with an assortment of Seibert Grass Jigs! I put on a 3/4 oz Black/Blue Seibert Grass jig with a shadow blue glitter Bitters Muskrat Trailer. Boy do those jigs rock! Every fish that I set the hook on was hooked straight through the top of the mouth. I was impressed with how well the paint held up fishing through some pretty rough terrain. They still looked like new! Definitely give Seibert a try for your next jig purchase! I also bought a few Seibert Swim Jigs that I didn't try yet. I ended up with a few really decent fish for the day and lost a giant on a white chatterbait that hit with about 2' of line out. I think that it was my fault for not retying after a few fish. Will I ever learn???? ~b~ All in all a good day and gained a little more confidence flipping jigs!

One issue I have though is I always have a co, these guys fight over the seat lol. With that being said, the boat is a tiller so I would rather be on the back of the boat to take care of my outboard. Maybe I can figure out a way to mount it on the transom or gunnel but then I-Pilot would probly drive the boat backwards thus burning through more batteries. LMG, have you heard of pro controll?

Lift the deck up and take them out, lol. The hole is only so I can switch the trolling motor cables on the batteries, and hook up the charger. Easy access hatch really. The whole deck is removable. It just sits on top of the front and middle cross supports with rubber mats in between the deck and supports. Then I also have a toilet pipe assembly that I made as a center support pole to the hull.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on June 18, 2014, 07:27:53 AMIt is a servo device that mounts to your transom. Your transom mount TM mounts to it as if it were the transom. You tighten the screw down on the TM so the the pro controll device can steer it. It then has a foot pedal control that ties inline to the TM power source ultimately enabling to have full foot control. It cost right at 100 bucks.
Pro Control? I am the Pro Control, lol. No, never heard of it.

Well, so much for the sealing in the bumper sticker theory. Once the resin soaked into the decals they started peeling up. Oh well. It would have looked cool. I guess I will just have to stick them on top of the dry resin and replace them when they get ruined.

Grrrrr. Had to have a few extra drinks tonight due to the weather really messing with the resin. Humidity really screwed with the process. Hopefully tomorrow morning the resin will be dry so I can put a few coats on the other side of the wood. Need to get the wood sealed so that Sunday I can set the wood to the transom to seal and dry. I am missing my fishing time, and it is really screwing with me. FML.

Idk if this is a weird question but I'm going through my tackle box and I'm overwhelmed with the multitude of hooks I've acquired over time. Does anyone have a particular brand or type they prefer??? By looking at them I think the "cheaper" ones that I may have picked up at Walmart look like they are not as well made. I'm assuming that will matter when it comes to trauma to the fish???

Over the years I have narrowed down my hook brand choice to one, and that is Gamigatzu's EWG. Depending on the applications I use anywhere from 2/0 - 5/0. I mostly stick with 2/0 and 3/0 for most baits. I will use 5/0's on horny toads and 12-13" worms. On Gambler EZ baits I will use Gami swimbait hooks. Those are the hooks that have the lead melted on the belly of the hook. Gami's are great. Needle sharp and the points don't bend them on them easily. They may be pricey, but I found a place on-line that sells them in bulk and cheap.
There are other brands that are pretty good as well. Mustad, Owner, Daichii, just to name a few. Good luck on your hook quest.

Lets see.....been up since 4am to try and get the final coats on the wood so that I can let it dry good today to start with making sure the bolts go through the holes smoothly since I resined inside the holes to help protect the wood. Hopefully by Tuesday I can get everything bolted and painted so I can mount the motor on by Friday. Want to get the boat in the water this weekend, even if it kills me.

Transom is sealed, sanded, and fitted. Tomorrow it gets glued and bolted together. Then I can paint it.

So hear is a question for the peanut gallery. Frog and t-rig/jigs 1/2 to 3/4 oz Is there a huge difference in a savvy 735 vs. a Champion 735? I know either would work for frogs just wanted to hear from the guys that have both is there a significant drop off in sensitivity going with a savvy?

Can't help you there bud, but when I spoke with Ron about Dobyn rods he told me they get progressively better as you move up the line up. When he told me that the Extreme blows the champion away, I was amazed. You and I both know MCS that champions are great rods. So I would stand to reason that the 735 Champion has better feel to that of the Savvy. But I am curious what the others will comment.

1/8-1/4oz weight (and I am going by added weight, not total weight with bait, hook, and sinker) is different than just using a weightless bait, or adding a sinker that is 1/16-1/32oz. I am going to mount my CH50E on it with 20#PP. Slow fall, small bait applications. The 3 power is better for lighter baits. Otherwise its a 4 or higher for me.

So let me understand this.... if I am throwing a zoom centipede, with a 1/32oz weight, on a 2/0 hook. That is not considered lightweight fishing but just "normal fishing" ??

If that is what you are throwing, then that is "light weight". If you were throwing it with a 1/8-1/4oz weight, then I would say the 4 or 5 power would be better. If you are using the 703 for the centi with the 1/32oz weight, then that is perfect for the application.

A leek is unique. Can't compare it to anything, however it tastes buttery and it compliments the potatoes. I am nowhere like a Gordon Ramsey that is for sure. I know my way around the kitchen, and when I have the time I enjoy to cook.

We got out this morning and ran the motor for about 2 hours, and that was 1 gallon of gas. Lol. Got a bad phone call from my Mom while we were out. Had to come back in and see my Grandmother in the hospital. Tried to go back out around 5, but those clouds are rolling in quick. Didn't want to chance it. Oh well, next weekend.

Here we go, the first storm of the season. Looks like it could possibly put a damper on the fishing. I have told my Wife that I am not going to the 4th Parade in Margate in the morning. Rather than stand in the back ground and do nothing, she can go with the women and kids, Im going fishing. Hopefully the weather stays decent for me to get a few hours out on the boat.

Might as well while it is slow, good luck. Stick with it, if you use it enough in a few months it will be like you had been using it all your life. seriously you will forget spinning gear. I thought lou was full of it when he told me that.

Light weight. The only thing I throw weightless is my smaller swim baits. This is for 1/32 oz weight or 1/16oz weighted small plastics. Brush Hogs, small lizards, small worms. I have other set ups for EZ's and weightless bigger plastics.

Ultra Light? 20 lb Braid? That's not Ultra Light that's like "normal" to most of us. LOL.
Maybe put some 4-6 lb test on there and you can claim it as an Ultra Light!
Seriously though, I guess it's all relative. I used to fish with a guy that called his Speck Rod an Ultra Light because he "only used 12 lb test" on it. Where I grew up we used UL's for freshwater trout and panfish, most were 6' or 6'6" and had small spinning reels loaded with either 4 lb or 6 lb test.
We used 8 lb test for Bass until my early 20's when I stepped it up to 10 or 12 lb test. Now here in FL I mostly have 17 lb test Flouro on or 65 lb Braid, but I do have two spinning rods that have 10 & 12 lb test on.

Are you stepping on them? I have had Mikes handles since he started his pre-production and have never had that issue.

I kinda caught it today...it is using the new frame. Not the frame the regular/current smoke uses which was the same as my older energy. The smoke was the last reel to use the "old" frame and was billed the best offering in a long time if not ever. Wonder if the regular and inshore smoke gets updated? I am not keen on the name and the red handle. But I was telling lou I like the revo rocket but $299 whew! wonder if this "freak" will be around the $200 price point.

go to tackle direct they have a few views. I kinda like it, but it is hard to go away from the energy/smoke reel I know and love.....I am interested in the ACS. 13 settings should dail it in nice....And you will like this NO FLIPPING SWITCH! like the new energy, kvd and tour mg have. That drag with 65 pound braid you gonna straighten some hooks on those snakeheads. Gotta get some heavy gauge tuna hooks LOL

Trust me, you really don't need any more than 8-10#s of drag at any given time when fishing for Bass or Snakeheads. Hell, I fought a trophy Red with a reel with 10#s, and it wasn't even locked.

Yeah the red is like a matte, kinda looks like dried blood in those TD photos, brownish. lo It doesn't do it really for me either, I think the smoke inshore was the nicest looking. The best design deffinitely the old smoke, just why did they have to put that giant logo on the reel. :-\.....Any who...

Real daiwas are a little pricey for me. Looked at alphas.....I am liking the revo more and more....liking the newer quantums less and less. Never had a lews. It sounds like a good reel. They offer a lot in the 150 - 200 range. I like that.

MCS, regardless of what LEWS reel you end up choosing. It will be cheaper with Ron. Especially if you are purchasing a Dobyns combo. Like I just mentioned to you a little while ago. A Savvy with a TT pro is disgustingly light and formidable set up.

I don't think that is gonna happen with them. The T# things was because the price was ridiculous for a reel that was not metal, and many people wouldn't put up the $ for something like that. Didn't do well in the American market, so it was a bit of a flop.

The sale of the Super duty from what i can see only applies to 2 models. The 5.4:1 and a lefty 7.1:1. If those apply to you MCS then have at it. Did you ask Ron yet to price out a Superduty? I am sure he will beat any sale going on now.

If it is a whole new model it will get that low. You gotta find the mom and pop and hole in the walls that need to get rid of the shit. TW is just throwing a teaser out there, they never really have GREAT prices anyway...Better deals out there. :-*.....Oh and yeah it was a flop that is the only reason it got that low on TW :D

Experiment: 40# braid off the jig rig, and spooled 20# YoZuri on. I will spool the braid on my new Zillion when it gets here tomorrow, then mount that on the Savvy705 for my swim baits. Had the Tatula with 30# on it before.

12 or 15# should be good enough. I only use YoZuri coply, that P line sucks. 20# is not bad, as long as it's for heavier baits. I used 12# up in Maine and South Carolina, handles everything. Best all around line I have ever used.

COOL! I might pick some up this weekend then. I want to take my lighter trigs/spinnerbaits/lipless and see how throwing them on a more "invisible" line other than mono on a caster works. Right now all 3 reels have braid and I want to see if invisibleness helps, especially the finesse plastics that aren't moving all that much. I am just worried about it being a pain on the caster, not a fan of mono on a caster.

12# is a lot more manageable than the 15 if you are gonna use lighter baits. Make sure to use KVD L&L on the line, it will help you a lot if you are not good with throwing that type of line on a baitcaster.

my buddy had the L&L junk..."woops" that......I think 12 will do me fine, I never had a problem breaking off with 10 pound mono. I just want something with less stretch but less visibility than braid.

I am here with the family watching strong squall lines blowing through the beach. its amazing to see the people not respecting mother nature. Since we are on the 11th floor facing the beach we can see the lines while they are couple miles out. You can see the people watching the storm approach, has soon as the outer edge hits and they see beach chairs and canopy's being blown all over the beach then they decide to head for cover. Funny, but at the same time very dangerous. Especially when little kids are caught up in the melee.

Just stick to the Spook
I am not fond of spooks. The one I got is a balsa one from back in the 80's it sucks casting. Hate it. always getting line tangled or flopping. Hate it....Use a jumpin minnow by rebel better, but not the same. I want to try a gunfish 115 maybe.... :shocking:

Gunfish are ok, but the spook is WAY better. Get the one knocker, I had a couple tourney wins on that back in Cali still one of my go-to's. Lately been using the Megabass Giant Dog X but for the retail price I wouldnt buy em. Fooled that 4lber the other day, but I bet the spook would have too. Jackall makes some nice topwater as well. Im a sucker for JDM tackle, but it sure as heck better work if Im shelling out $20+ per bait!

You need to watch out for those "softer" braids like 832 and the like. They don't hold up well in the waters the have cover.

It did just fine in the glades. 8) It breaks in a lot easier than Power Pro. besides up here a culvert is the only cover I have to cut braid lo ;)

The other thing is it is not that flat dental floss like 832 or spider wire, it is the woven string/rope texture like power pro. Those are the only two braids I will use because of that. But the power pro has that waxy stiffness to it for many trips before it breaks in. The stren is a trip or two before it is nice and comfy on the reel. But it loses a little more color than power pro.

Heard about it, AMart swears by em has a box full of the originals. I never could get my hands on one, they want an arm and a leg for originals on ebay. I think Bub was going to put out a paycheck version, actually I think it is out. He bought the mold from them so should be exactly the same but I havent heard that it was. Who knows, that ones secretive.
I LOVE P-Line. I had nothing but breaks with Yozuri, I have a spool of hybrid still sitting in the garage. But heres the thing with P-Line, dont buy their cheap stuff, it sucks. Their fluoro is absolutely 100% the best, but its $20 a spool. Im NOT talking about the fluoro coated crap, that is junk. Has to be 100% fluoro. We are big on our fluoro in cali, trust me I have tried almost all of them kept going back to my beloved Halo. Now I just use straight braid, thinking about going with Halo leaders but not sure if it even matters here. I only use original Power Pro, from 20lb to 65lb rarely have issues. Super Slick is Super Suck.

Hahahaha I hear really good reviews on them too, but one person said the lime green ones finish cracked and flaked but RI made it right really quick. Other than that they come in sweet colors, even flitter shad that old spook color.

Cheaper than power pro? It looks like it priced similar to compete with power pro. Other than that, it might be good braid it might not. You can be the judge and report to us. Power pro has been been good to me for several years, I can get spools of it cheap at Walmart, so I think I am pretty much set unless they go out of business.... lo doubt it though....

Your right MCS, you did receive a bunch of that braid to test last year I think. You had to keep under wraps for certain period of time before you could talk about it. You have had favorable results with it. I completely forgot about that.

Ding ding ding...It is pretty good stuff. Very similar to power pro but MADE IN THE USA ~flag if that matters lo I kid I kid (one too many John Waynes growing up as a kid)...I just thought it was cool seeing it finally on market and being able to get more. Stren has been good to me. Another free spool of mono for a survey.

I found this:
In 2008, Shimano American Corporation completed its agreement to acquire Innovative Textiles, Inc. While maintaining manufacturing operations and staff at its facility in Grand Junction, CO Dave Pfeiffer, Shimano American President, notes that the Innovative Textiles sales and marketing efforts will be transitioned to Shimano American's operations in Irvine, CA. "The extensive background that Konrad Krauland and his team at Innovative Textiles have in braiding and textile engineering is one of the key assets of our acquisition," said Pfeiffer. "Krauland will join our management team as a vice president, focusing on production, coordinating manufacturing and new product development with Shimano offices worldwide."
Pfeiffer further notes that, "While Konrad and Innovative Textiles have become a leader in braided fishing lines here in the U.S., the connection now with Shimano will allow us to grow the business throughout Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and Latin America."
"To be able to make that next big leap, from a strong brand in the U.S. fishing market to one that will have solid global presence, we couldn't be happier now being part of Shimano American Corporation," says Krauland. "As we integrate our Grand Junction operations into Shimano's operation in Irvine and sales offices around the globe, we look forward to working on the next innovations in fishing line technology and other new products over the next years."

So it kinda makes me feel a little better. I am curious to see, but I would assume that expanding the global market means manufacturing in asia and not growning the home base here, then eventually phasing out the base here in the future. Smart, don't rip it away from the get go but gently pry it away over seas......Sorry one to many John Wayne movies as a kid. lo lo again I am joking. I buy chinee reels...or the new yorkers would say chiner

The Wife has already threatened me. The only future plans are maybe some tuning of the Zillion. Worm gear bearing upgrade, a nice custom anodized drag star, and maybe a new handle assembly.

I guess one of these days I will have to take a pic of my on deck line up. All Shimano, all lefty. Im right handed but fish lefty reels, so always been a bit limited. 2 Cores (50MG and 100MG), Chronarch E 5.5, Chronarch 50mg, Chronarch Ci4, and like 5 Curado G's. Not to mention the spinners, a Sustain, 2 saros, and a stradic ci4 that I dont use anymore. Those are pretty much all Alicia's now, she wont touch the baitcasters lol. I made the switch 3-4 years ago and never looked back.
Majority of my rods are custom built by yours truly, using Recoil or Fuji Alconite guides and North Fork Composites blanks. Thats Gary Loomis new company, since he sold GLoomis to Shimano. His new blanks put the GLoomis NRX to shame. Have one Dobyns Champ with that Chronarch 5.5 ratio I bought for deep cranking about 3 months before I moved that needs to be repurposed. Think I might switch it to a trap rod, I tried it last week and felt pretty good, its a 764 CB RM (Used to run in to RMac at cachuma all the time, good dude. His dad is a stick too) but I wonder if that reel is too slow for traps. Never been a big trap guy, but out here it seems like they eat em like crazy.
I met Gary up at the delta a couple times during the Yamamoto Big Bass challenge, if I didnt make my own rods his would be the way to go for sure. He's such a good dude too, helps people out whenever he can running charity tourneys and such. Did a tourney recently to get a guy back on his feet that was a guide and his boat was stolen, had almost 250 boats turn out. Puts a smile on your face to see everyone band together like that.

Had a buddy in Cali that built on those, he really liked em. He built up a Phenix drop shot rod that I ended up winning in a raffle, which I gave to Alicia. Its one of the Ultra MBX's, a 7-6 medium I believe. It has the stradic ci4 on it, very light and sensitive. Those are pretty nice blanks for the price.

I am really considering Phenix as the next purchase(may have to wait til Dec.) a M1 or Recon 2...Seeing the new Maxium is out, then I may go 7-6 Recon 2 dunno MH or H for pitching/jigs (not in super thick stuff) and then a Maxium H xfast for frogs. They seem to have good reviews and get the most features for the price

Take it back bro. That coated stuff is horrible. Its all the bad properties of both rolled into one package. The evolution copoly is OK, and both the 100% fluoro and the halo are amazing. I've tried everything else they make, wouldn't recommend it. Now if you want some sweet mono on the super cheap, the sunline super mono is awesome. Didn't like the shooter at all, really brittle.

I want something with low stretch decent manageability but mainly is less visible than braid for my slower presentations.I saw halo I was tempted but it was twice as much. I am not gonna be by bps anytime soon. I was going to try yozuri but bps didnt have it.

Hey Chris what size were u using? I have used 10 pound mono with minimal break offs so I tried to keep dia small at 12. What was the worst problem? I dread the random snaps in the line I hear with some fluro getting kinked. Coils I can deal with.

12. It wasn't horrible just doesn't seem to last. Gets memory coils after a few weeks and starts breaking on hooksets. Its fine if you respool monthly lol. The stren is really junk. Heard good things about seaguar abrazX or invisX one of those. Tatsu is good too. You get what you pay for when it comes to good line non braid

Even though yesterday was not that productive as far as size goes, I did give the new Zillion quite the workout. I will say that a levelwind bearing upgrade is in its near future. The difference between it and the Coastal is very noticeable when retrieving. The casting distance between it and the Tatula is big, and more effortless. Yes, I can say that is a fact due to it replaced my Tatula for my swimbait rig on the SS705. It also seems to balance a lot better on it.

Yes, I can say that is a fact due to it replaced my Tatula for my swimbait rig on the SS705. It also seems to balance a lot better on it.
So regarding your last statement of balancing how do you feel about the new zillion? It won't balance as nice or palm as nice? Isn't it based off the tatula basic frame? Whats the weight diff between the tat vs old zill and tat vs new zill. Just curious.

The current Zillion is 1.2oz heavier. Palmability, for me, is better with the Zillion since my hands are smaller. (I have sausage fingers, lol). The new Zillion is supposed to have Zion sides to reduce weight, just like the Tatula does. From what I have seen, the new Zillion is supposed to be a bit narrower in the front compared to the Tatula. I don't know what the weight is of the new Zillion, but Im sure its a bit lighter than the old one. I personally like a reel with an aluminum crank plate, it gives it a more solid feel, and helps with the balancing of the rod and reel. It all comes with a price. CuradoD, aluminum crank plate $199. CuradoE, composite crank plate $159.

Some interesting new lines coming to the market. Im sure you are going to be testing that Stren braid soon MCS.
Got the worm gear bearing upgrade for the Zillion today, and just finished installing it. Man I can feel a big difference in the reel before and after. I didnt realize it because the Coastal was ugraded right away. Actually using this reel for a day before the upgrade made me realize how much smoother it makes it. Decided to pull the braid off of it and spool it with 20# YoZuri as well. Gonna give it a shot this weekend and see how it works out. Getting kind of tired using braid on all my rigs, want to try something different. The YoZuri on my Jig rig has seemed to work out for the better. Casting distance has not really been affected, so I think I should be good using it with my swim rig.

I went out to the pond and threw it around for a bit after.
I have been on/off with the 20# for a while now. Used it on my old jig setup, and now again on the new one. The fact it works good for me is why I am deciding to use it for my swim rig too. It's not that bad. On a smaller reel it would be, but the Zillion manages it very well. Plus, I am throwing baits that are close to an ounce in weight, so I can get away with it. Otherwise, I would use 12-15#. I switched my CuradoD to 15#. The little stretch that YoZuri has helps to still make a good hookset. I personally know how strong that stuff is because I have seen it hold up to some things that 50# braid has failed me on. The abrasion resistance is far superior. As a matter of fact I have to buy some more since I have used the last of my spools. I just hope I don't have to order it from TW again.

It feels good, like less stretchy mono. Man I don't need abrasion resistence much but wish I had it the other day when I lost that fish onthe rock. ~rant

I just checked, to confirm what you said and I didn't see any shortage.
I did notice that even on sale that FC Sniper line is ridiculously expensive.

MCS and I have been conversing about the Florida Lunker Program and the prizes involved if you submit a nice trophy bass. They also have another category on other Big Fish. Native and Non-native. I was telling MCS I could have possibly won in the non-native category. Several months back I caught a 15" Jaguar that weighed close to if not just over 2lbs. That is considered a record category catch!! :'(

Drove to Delray to pick up 2 6 gallon tanks my friend was gonna give me for the boat. Ones that I could use the accessory port for. Damn, both have holes in them. Looks like its off to Bass Pro to get me a tank and line assembly some time this week. Some how the 2 1/2 gallon can I had in the boat leaked a bit into the boat while I was out yesterday. I thought I smelled gas, but thought it was someone elses boat. Once I got the boat on the trailer, I saw that there was liquid in the back of the boat. Damn cap must have been just loose enough to spill some out while I was loading the boat on the trailer. Im done with that ish, time for a regular tank. Think I am gonna go with the 3 gallon with the fuel level guage on it. 3 gallons is enough for me to run the motor for 4.5 hours. That should be enough, lol.

I decided to just go back to Bass Pro after dinner. So when I get there I explain to the guy that the fitting didnt fit. He said it was the right one, and we went to the outboards and he tried it out himself. It didnt fit. So then he got another one for the Merc, and it didnt fit either. Then he tried the ones for all the other brands with no luck. So after getting my refund, off to West Marine I went. I made it there by 8:55, and they closed at 9. The guy there helped me find the right fitting, and I made sure that it fit before I left. Got back home not to long ago and set up the gas tank in the boat, and tomorrow after work I am going to make sure that the connections dont leak.

100% fluoro or braid is all I trust. Some select copolys are ok like the yozuri hybrid the guys like and the PLine Evolution I thought wasnt horrible. The fluoro coated stuff I have never had good luck with.
Now if you are fishing clear lakes with cranks, thats a whole diff story. Good ole mono for that, Trilene XL or I really like the Sunline Super Mono (super cheap, super strong). Didnt like any of the Sunline fluoro I tried when TW had their annual Sunline sale. Still have a few spools of Sniper that are brand new that I wasnt a fan of.
Its all trial and error, find something you like that works for you thats all there is to it hehe

"Great for low-light and no-light conditions, the Lucky Craft Kerroll Max offers a unique topwater presentation that big bass will have no problem keying-in on, even at night. Designed with a huge, cupped resin mouth, the Lucky Craft Kerroll Max creates a prominent splash and a strong slapping sound as it's worked along the surface.
For increased visibility, the Lucky Craft Kerroll Max features a slot along the back that is made to fit a small glowstick (included in the package). To use the glow stick, just bend until it's activated, shake it up, and then slip it into the groove along the back. This added luminescent shine draws fish in from a distance and also acts as a bite indicator for anglers.
Complete with two trebles, one of which is feathered, the Lucky Craft Kerroll Max has a big presence that incites exciting topwater blow-ups from sundown-to-sunup."

Two years ago I was on the field staff for Megabass, only a couple guys on it they were just trying out the concept. They cancelled it after a year and went to Pro Staff only. Sad part is I STILL couldnt afford em. 40% off and you are still paying 18 bucks!!! sheesh. Thats what made me get into the Tungsten game. Wanted to make it more affordable and I started figuring out all these companies get their stuff from the same place. I found who makes the molds for Megabass, they are only like 1.50 each. So its the hand paintjob that is the other $26. Makes you want to take up painting baits yourself hehe. Trust me i thought about that too >:D

Best of luck to all you that may go out this weekend. I will not be fishing this weekend at all. The Mrs. has surprised me for my 40th with a weekend getaway just the two of us, without the kids. She is tight lipped on where we are going. Being a couple instead of parents sounds like fun, i don't remember how it is just being a couple... LOL!! I will however, have my laptop with me, so don't worry, everyone's catch will be documented. Happy Fishing!! ~gf

What kind of reels?
I'm sure a dumb question, I bet the answer is Lews, lol.
I usually charge local people $25 per reel, plus parts of they need it. You would have to ship the reels to me though.
Keep in mind, we have site sponsors too.

Don't even bother. Take the opportunity to upgrade. Trust me.
I'll probably upgrade but I'm gonna use them till they die.
Honestly I'll probably just take them apart and clean them myself.

It's not that hard. Just be systematic about it, and keep the schematic in front of you.

So my second surprise, is a bass fishing charter on the Magic kingdom lake. Very exciting!! Now before anyone comments on how there are better places in Central Fl to fish and the costs, to fish at Disney,keep in mind my wife knows 0 about bass fishing, and she wanted to surprise me. So ALL COMMENTS in regards to that matter keep to yourself. As far as the fishing, I will give my report and hopefully pics when I get back.

I am excited for this evening, we have some family from out of town, and they were fascinated with how beautiful the new Marlin stadium looked, from the outside. We explained to them its even more beautiful in the inside. So my wife made some calls and we got hooked up with Diamond club lounge seats right in front of 1st base and next to the dugout. Besides the perks these tickets have just being this close to the action sounds awesome!! I will post some pics tonight.

No on BBC one of the later posts....There are a couple near mint Sols for 120 too, think one might be sold....I dig the older daiwas like the viento, fuego and tierra. I really should have bought the left hand tierra on ebay 63 bucks woulda been worth a week on the couch.

I don't care for the pixy or tdz or ballistic too much. The steez, zillion, viento, tierra, alphas, fuego, old exceler I could all own. I really should just find a nice fuego that is really what I want. I don't need it yet, I just need to wait, april another new rod and fuego just keep my eyes peeled for a steal until then.

Spent a half and hour this morning hunting Snakeheads. Found 2 with a ball of fry, kept pitching a bait to the bubbles everytime they showed. They kept biting it, just couldn't get them to eat it. Oh well, it was entertaining. ~cf

Yes. It is a daiwa.....I am keeping the energy I have because it is a very good reel. I just think

Cant swing that man.
I have a couple prospects lined up at 45 and 50....old exceler and a td-pro....Only reason I am considering is because when I get my next rod I want a reel I like instead of whatever on it and I am afraid these won't be around....but then again if I wait who knows what I can scrounge up by then. :-\

new rod is a beast. I love it! ~heart I cannot wait to stick a fish pitching or working a big worm. Missed 3 frogs strikes this morning, the rain got them active though. The first one was small, he had it. I waited too long to set, the other two were not that great of strikes to begin with. I did find my new frog color, pad crasher in bullfrog. Like the pearl yellow solid belly... 8)

Those arent rare, theyre NEW :-*
Gary is putting out a full line, Dicks is carrying a bunch of them. I kinda like em, come with good hooks that dont need changin' since those are the ones I normally change my cranks to anyway. I hate that the Strike Kings come with such junk hooks. KVD's name on the bait, but no KVD Triple Grip hooks? Cmon now!

Like I said before, you could get those blanks from China for CHEAPPPPPpppp and paint them yourself. Some even come already painted generic like that one if you want. Then just throw hooks on em and box em up easy peasy. I found Megabass blanks from the company that makes em in China for 2 bucks a bait. Then MB just puts a stunning paint job on em and marks em up $25 bucks more ~shade

It didnt click that someone swapped the lure! Alicia picked up a few of those GYCB cranks the other day and the paint was just ok looking, just like the strike kings really similar paint job. Probably the only difference is the hooks, and they want a couple bucks more I think. So I thought it was the Yama crank in the box still, and you just hadnt seen em yet hehe. Duh to me!! ~b~

Ugh, more cleaning, a bit of rearranging. Wondering what I am going to do this Sunday. I am thinking of doing a trip on the C-14 for some mix of Bass and Snakeheads. Kind of just want to make it a simple trip with maybe 3 rods, and some simple canal fishing. I think with the amount of water that has been coming in and out of the Glades mixed with the on/off storms, the fish have been really screwed up lately out there. Time to hit the ledged canals for some basic fishing.

They look nice, too nice $$ for this bank beater. lo But the D I like the color, shape, I could roll with that add a better handle and better knobs. It be good to go.

Those E's are workhorses. I am going to start upgrading the bearings in mine to make them frog launchers. Ive already polished all the internal brass washers and upgraded them all to Carbon drags with Cals grease. Flushed the bearings in brake kleen and lubed with yellow rocket fuel. Did the same to my 2 cores, and they run great. The Chronarch E after I cleaned it just never felt right. Not sure why. It feels smooth as silk when reeling slack line, but as soon as there is pressure it feels like im reeling mud in the reel. Very weird. New Chronarch ci4 feels exactly the same, only its just always mud. It was way worse when I got it, cleaned it because it was LOADED with grease and its better now. But not like the Curado Es or Cores. Think I need to reclean those, or let LMG take a look at them. I'll give you a ring later LMG, I am about due for a cleaning on all my reels. Wondering what you use to flush.

Your E's launched, and fishing the flats at Lox I can see the need for sure. Even the bigger ponds I am fishing at home, those fish are chasing bait out in the middle just out of reach. The smaller ones is where Im getting my better fish, where I can bomb a cast to them while they are schooling under those shad balls on the surface.
The Chornarch E initially didnt have enough grease on the gears. I read some instructions and it talked about not using alot. I took that too literally. Felt like the teeth were grinding when I put it back together. Opened it up and put a bit more grease on the gear teeth, and it smoothed back up. Thing casts a mile, it just feels kinda weird under load.

Well at least with you, LMG, Deadeye with a bad back and Evo Chris out for sept doing non fishing things. My path to bragging rights champ is becoming more clear cut. Now I only have to hope Lou and CCR find better more important things to do and I will be all set >:D ~roflmao ~roflmao

ok so maybe this will get some chat....Cores....I don't like coremg 100 or mg50 that look like the curado I the one I like is the MG7 what is it? and why does it look different from the two others I mentioned? I am going off TW site....
Next topic.....Curado D or Fuego which would you choose? Why?
Next Statement I like the Jackall(eventhough they are shimano) scissor comb they look sooo awesome in the videos swiming, hopping and falling striaght down.
Damiki....anyone of yall use their topwater stuff? Dolphin and Rambler....Also have a soft bait the monster Miki...looks cool not as cool as the jackall though....
So please thoughts

Found out why my 3 Curado E's had no distance. Somehow an extra brake popped out on all of them! Two I might have done, becuase they were set correctly perpendicular to each other. Think I was throwing some big swimbaits at one time and had them set to 3 on. But the other one was randomly set to two right next to each other and one across. That aint right! Fixed those and they are bombing frogs again!
So MCS, to your questions on the core. The Core100 and Core 50's all look the same. The MG7 is just a core100 with a faster gear ratio, and the spool is black. Its still on the same exact frame as the Core100. The 50MG is my favorite of all my reels, hands down. Second favorite is my Core100, and I wish I could run MG7 gearing in it but I cant since its a lefty. MG7 doesnt come in lefty ~rant
I never rocked a D, but my E's are workhorses! Going to upgrade the bearings in all of them in the next few weeks and soup em up a bit. They all have Carbontex upgrades already, and a light supertune polishing.

Oh my bad I guess a 7 footer is like a 7-6 for the vertically challenged :D ;) so the 50 size shimano are they smaller than a smoke 100? I get you point though, it's a small reel (for tiny hands :D ) so balances well with the shorter rod...;)

Im out of things that I can trade. I think its just the "not fishing" thoughts getting to me. Damn horrible summer has put me in a stuper. To be honest, what made me make the decision is that I kept walking in the room and seeing the CU50E sitting on the shelf. The thought of how much I really enjoyed fishing the reel made me finally make a decision. I had to bring it back, and what a better way than a dream rod that would make me put it back in service. Going to be a Happy Birthday to me-self. ~shade

You fish with one of them ever? I am curious, honestly that is the only reason I think I would maybe do a custom rod. I will tell you after 30 yrs of spinning reels before converting to casting, I don't enjoy fishing with spinning reels anymore, but I do miss the spinning rods and fighting a fish on those. The spiral look neat, and in theory offer more. But I wonder if it does increase the crisp and sensitive feeling all the better. It is supposed to be the best of both spinning and casting rods. :-\

I could see a nice daiwa mounted on one. ;D Maybe a D or E series curado ??? but first I need to get a rod for this exceler. I want a shorter (6-3 to 6-8) topwater rod for poppers and jerkbaits.

Just ordered some Shimano parts to keep in my stock from eparts. Man, they have just about anything. Mostly got some small things that tend to wear with time. Some things that I fortunately never have had to change, but since I plan on using my 50Es for quite some time, the parts were cheap enough to get to have around.

They feel cheap. I had this Volkswagen Jetta that felt just like that shit and I peeled off. Hate the stuff. And the shape is weird. Daiwa has it right, quantums not bad, even take lews over that. But dude some blue and carbon zpi or avail on the zillion would be sick : D just sayin

Comes by plane. Has to go through Japan customs, then US customs. I don't really know how long it all takes. My best guess would be a couple of weeks. Its OK though, the rod wont be done till the end of the month. Hopefully get it all back in time to put the parts in, spool it up, and bring it along on the trip with me. ;D

So I am mulling. I think I got a spinning rod picked out, not big budget but for panfish and bass. Gander or Cabelas 2 piece Light in 7 or 7-6....there is a lews 1 piece thats a maybe trying to keep it 40-60 range.
So I am back and forth on a casting rod. Denali, Daiwa.....I dunno. under 150 under 100 I dunno. Just need it for topwaters and jerkbaits.....
But here is my new desire. Aird costal and daiwa DXI costal rod. 8)
I wouldn't mind a DXI spinning rod to go with my President XT either ;D
Looked at the tat reels ok, looked at the new zillions ok....I still want a old zillion or fuego
The one I want is the new ballistic spinning reel....she is purdy.... ~lu
Just thinking out loud here lo

Pheonix blanks are sweet, I have one I won in a raffle from the guy who taught me a bit about wrapping when I first started. Alicia uses it since its a Drop Shot rod. He built all his rods on Pheonix though, they are nice and light!
You were right, this is a game changer haha. I see Dobyns rods for sale in your future. It may sound blasphemous now, but once it hits your lips you just gotta have more! Its so good! Frank the Tank! Now I just need to show you how to wrap your own and the beast will be unleashed lol. That and it works out way cheaper than store bought stuff when you do it yourself. Think Im going to buy a few more blanks to build out after all that OT in Germany myself >:D
I didnt have you try any of mine out, but no joke my Core51MG/North Fork MB705 setup is like 9 oz tops. Like a feather, and I can feel a bass fart on my fluke. Yours will be exactly the same, hard to put down bro. Put a nice light reel on it!

What do you think about the Recon 2 and the M1? I still toy with getting one for flipping maybe, I like the full handle eva Recon. I seriously could buy about 20 rods. I like rods way better than reels.

Im the opposite I like reels, I build my own rod candy hehe.
I dunno about their manufactured products, Ive handled their blanks and they are nice but cant say anything on a fully built rod that wasnt custom.
That 50e will be money, I love mine. Upgraded the bearings on the Core and didnt notice a difference yesterday. Actually think it casted less with the abec 7's. Think I'll put the SARB's back in there and use those bearings on a curado instead.

I hear the blanks are awesome, but the rods are sloppy built. Just wondering if you heard or had any friends with them from the left coast. Man I am gearing up an order, but it is on hold....house hunting.... so for the time my weights and plastics will have to wait but with good cause.

100 bucks to spend....Take a look at the new daiwa s rods or better yet is the daiwa lexa rods. They both have a 7-4 frogging model. he frog rod is actually rated to handle heavier weight than the flipping stick and both are Fast tips. If you wanted a couple more inches then the lexa flipping stick would work too.Another option is Denali J2 in the 7-6 flipping model. Dark 3 uses this as a frog stick as well, think he might have the original jadewood, talk to him. If you go Denali talk to Ron at Valley sports he has good prices shipped

Thanks MCS. I did some reading on the Daiwa S Casting Rod 7'4" Heavy, I think that is a good choice. I feel like I am losing fish because im not using the right rod to frog (7' Med/F). Maybe this will help land more fish. Thanks again. I want to order a rod tomorrow afternoon, so if anyone else has a better option, im all ears.

Yep that rod will definitely help you set the hook hard to make sure it sticks. If your bank fishing my buddy here at work said you can get by with a shorter rod for flipping, he flips all the time and has taught me a lot. 3/4 to 1-1/2 is probably the heaviest your would flip. You should be pleanty good. 3/4 to 1 is what he told me is the most used from the bank since you don't encounter the mats you do out on the water. He has several daiwa rods that are 10 plus yrs old too. I am looking at those some of those same rods for another purpose though.

Yeah, I mostly bank fish and get out on the boat with my FIL once in a while. The rod will mostly be used for frogging, so that rod should be perfect. I plan to get a flipping set up around christmas ;D. I have another question about a reel now. I made up my mind but dont know what to get, its between the Tatula or Tatula Type-R. Is there that much of a difference in the type R? I found the tatula for $100 and the type r for 140, is it worth spending the extra cash for the type r?

Better spool, better bearings, better look. Add 2 bearings to the levelwind and you are good to go.

Check out the thread in reels, there is a dude who frogs with the tatula and is having problems with the t-wing and braid....LMG probably could explain it better. Just a heads up somehting to think about before you buy. Lews super duty is a good alternative too...... I use an older model Daiwa Exceler.....mag force z free floating spool and 7.1 ratio paid 53 shipped NIB.

I use my T3 Ballistics to frog now and probably will keep using to frog when I get the new rod. I never have had any problems what so ever with my T3 with 50# braid on it (power pro if that matters). I wanted to get the tatula to throw swimbaits and what not.

Yes. The spool itself is more than $40. If you are reel savvy, use 2 Shimano knob bearings and change the bushings in the levelwind. Trust me, it makes a hell of a difference. Not a fan of the T3 for a frog reel, not a very strong chassis. Better off with an aluminum frame reel.

Haha me savvy, no way.Im very afraid to take apart any reel and change or really do anything with them. It was either the Revo S gen3, BPS Bionic (POS), or the T3, i chose the T3. I just really started finishing about a year ago, so I have no clue on whats good and what is not good. One thing i do know is I really like the T3 8.1 with the bigger knob handles lol. The Bionic and Revo S were both presents to really get me started.

I am officially out of the ghetto! Everything is moved. Now I need to finish setting things up. That's gonna be a week long process. While the wife was at the concert last night I managed to get the bedroom set up, and got started on my new man cave.
You sure move a lot, lol.

Just found out that I am not allowed to park a boat in my garage at the new place. Feel like someone just shot my dog. Now to figure out where I am going to keep it. Selling it is NOT an option.

One would think that your landlord (or whomever) would have told you that before you moved in, the idiots ! If it is behind a closed garage door, personally can't see what the problem is. >:(

I would fight that tooth and nail. And if it isnt in the lease, they dont have a pot to pee in. And if he wants to be a douche about it, I would be like OK then you are violating the lease by imposing rules that are not in writing and the lease is null and void. HOA's or county ordinance can only enforce parking a boat outside, what you keep in your garage is your business. And if he REALLY wants to be a douche about it, he would be violating the fair privacy act in the lease (where it says they cant bother you for stuff without notice).
I went through a bunch of this crap when we left Coral Springs. Landlord lost the house in a foreclosure and had to go through all kinds of junk with new owner, old landlord, etc. Its a nightmare. If I wasnt so far away, I would offer up the other half of my garage. Dunno if both would fit though, mine is already sideways haha

Its in the association rules that the garage is for car storage only, not even supposed to be for storage. Everything should be on shelves so that a car can be stored in the garage. This is due to limited parking in the complex. Either way, a car is not going in my garage, so they can suck it.

Piss on it then. It takes someone complaining you pulling the boat out of the garage for them to know. Just keep the garage closed, and load and unload the boat lickety splickety when you go out fishin.
An association penalty first one is like 100-150 (it should be in the rules, I would find out how much it is first before I did anything ~read). I would do that until you got one, because its still cheaper than boat storage. And one might never come, cuz your neighbors might be cool. I would tell the dude Im putting my boat in the garage until the association says something, since you didnt say anything about it when we signed the lease (especially if its NOT in the lease). Tell him if he gets a letter you will pay it. Usually they warn like 4 times first hehe. We used to get letters like crazy about our trash cans being visible. I wasnt about to put trash in the garage with my boat, where I like to hang out and tinker. So we would move them and play this game of hide and go seek with the trash cans. Never got a penalty, but like 3 letters came.
HOA's are ~b~ cant stand em, but the neighborhoods without em are crap. Catch 22

My new place has a boat parking area.. it's free. The docknhas 11 slips.. they are free. Plus there is a ramp by the boat storage area anyway. Very boat friendly and nothing about our garages. Ain't no way I'd let that one fly lol
We have the trash can one but our yard is on a corner lot with a fence and hedges so you can't see one whole side unless you walk into my yard. Rules just say neighbors shouldn't be able to see it from thier yard.
Good luck. At least you got a spot lol

I literally did the same thing last night! New Cardiff 301a came in, so I stuck the spool bearings in it from the Core50 I put the Boca's in. Cleaned it all up and regreased it with Cals, polished the metal drag washers with the dremel and greased up the carbon ones, and its running like a champ now. Going to stick it on the temp swimbait rod and make a few chucks with the slammer today at the pond see how she rolls. Trying out some Yozuri Hybrid green in 25lb to see how I like it on the big reel. Need to grab some carbontex for it next time I make an order. One disc was carbon already, other wasnt so its probably fine for now.

The Cardiff is actually a pretty good reel for the money. I have been using mine for inshore purposes. I don't know what I am going to use it for yet. May just spool some 14# Red Cajun on it and keep it in the truck, or use it for guests.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I need more rod advice. Seems that the Megabass rod that I ordered was out of stock. Now I'm having second thoughts, lol. This will be ordered from Bass Pro as I have a few gift cards to burn up. I was wondering if I should try a St. Croix rod. Legend Elite or Legend Tournament maybe? Was hoping that some of you guys had personal experience with one of the rods. Really want to try the Megabass, but I would rather have the better rod if possible.

Partly what I bought it for as well, when we go fish on the pier I'll take that instead of the bass reels. Actually going out on a charter trip tomorrow, Dane is turning 9 and wanted to go out saltwater fishing so Alicia and I are taking him out on a cattle boat. Should be fun, wish I had a big enough rod to strap the Cardiff to. They recommend a 20-30lb rod for the trip, and the my Heavy flipping stick is only 12-25. Hopefully their rods are decent, I hate borrowing rods and have them end up being junk when Im used to my stuff!

Gimme a sec bro, I'll go see what BPS carries. Dobyns if they have it would be great, or you could do an NRX those are sweet just a little pricey. But so is that Orochi hehe. I'll go peek

Man BPS selection is horrible. How can they call themselves Bass Pro Shops and carry that few of a rod selection? And ONLINE no less! wow. Im pretty shocked actually.
I would go with the Croix. Ive held the Legend Tourney, they are nice sticks for the price. Croix builds a nice blank. Either the Tourney or Elite would be nice, I havent held an Elite though so not sure if they are worth the extra price. Go to Croix's website first and take a look at the specs is what I would do.
They have some Daiwa Steez rods too, not sure if those are nice or not. They sure are priced heavily.
Other than those, pretty dismal. I like the GLoomis stuff, and I have had a couple IMX's and they are nice but I think they are 50-100 priced too high. I build that same rod for $125, same blank and everything. No GLX's or NRX's at all, Ive had both those before I started building as well, very nice rods. Couldnt stomach the price though.

Other than those, pretty dismal. I like the GLoomis stuff, and I have had a couple IMX's and they are nice but I think they are 50-100 priced too high. I build that same rod for $125, same blank and everything. No GLX's or NRX's at all, Ive had both those before I started building as well, very nice rods. Couldnt stomach the price though.

I'm with you on the Loomis stuff. No more for me unless I get a steal like my other two. Yeah, their(BPS) selection kinda sucks! I like the Tournament's split grip, but would rather have the better blank. Not sure if it's worth the additional paper, like you stated. Should I stick with my original selection(Megabass OrochiXX Tournament Versatile? Decisions........ ~b~

CCR, I wanted to jump on this thread as soon as I saw it. I have 2 LTB's. One is a MH and the other is H. I really like these two rods. I have an AVID also, which is another great rod. My nod goes to the LTB. The one thing that jumps out at me is, that it's tip heavy. If you ask between an LTB and Dobyns Champion. My nod will go to the Dobyns. For that same reason. I have one of my Curado's on the Champion and another Curado on the LTB, and the Champion is straight as an arrow. LTB, tip dive bombs toward the ground. Besides that, the rod is really good. I don't know if those are factors that you look at, but I wanted to share with you either way, because these rods are $$.

Bass Pro doesn't sell Dobyns rods unfortunately. A good Champion series is more than enough to take on the fish. A DX is nice, but how much money you really want to shell out for a rod?

Alright fellas.......... Didn't mean to stir things up, lol. I have $200.00 in gift cards, so I thought I'd add some cash and get something nice. I would be getting a Dobyns, but I want to use the gift cards that I've forgotten about. Now I'm wanting an ultra sensitive mh rod for Texas rigs and smaller jigs. 7'- 7'4" would be great. The reason why I switched to the Megabass was because of the tapers. Figured the rod I chose would be close to the Dobyns Champion 735.

No worries CCR you didn't stir things up. We just never know who is going to be the target person for the day or week. MCS volunteered to be that person today. lo. As far as your new rod goes. I know you rather unload those BPS cards before you have to spend your own $$. Look into the AVIDS. They are nice work horse rods. With limited lifetime warranty. St. Croix is good when it comes to their warranties. I have utilized them in the past for that. With 2 Rage rods I had. That's the reason I ended up with the LTB's. I just had to pay the difference to upgrade, if not I couldn't touch those rods... lo

I think they are just swapping to the new gen of the Veritas. I have a Dobyns that I enjoy. Just a savvy of course. But at $160 bucks and the $99 Veritas is more sensitive and sturdy.. I'll be buying more Abu's. I have pulled a ton of fish out of heavy cover on the Veritas. My buddy has some $$$ Loomis rods and I let him borrow one. He now owns two lol he also went to a smaller profile BC instead of the old style circle ones he always loved.

I'm odd I guess I have BPS PQ's, one Abu silver max, and three Lew's reels. I also have two Abu Vendettas, two Abu Veritas, a BPS PQ rod and my Dobyns.
Only reason I didn't buy more Veritas with my last gift cards.. cause I told the wife I'd next need a reel lol
What you need to do is go to a good rod place. Most will let you put a reel on a rod to check it out. Then buy the rod you like. That's how I got what I own. At first I read a ton of reviews.. but in the end the BPS PQ reels aren't as comfortable and I use them less.... lesson learned. Back to my Lew's lol

LOL... it shows the bubble I am in when it comes to bass fishing. There is always another level to gear. For example, on the other site there is long discussion about swimbaits. I am not much of a swimbait fisherman, but the curiosity and discussion got the best of me and I looked at swimbaits. There are swimbaits out there that cost $250!! 1 lure!! And people have a couple of them!! Which brings me to CCR's rod discussion. I have heard of megabass, mainly thru Aaron Martens. Never looked into them until a little while ago. There was some Orochi rod that was running $1000. Wow!! My thoughts are the following. If you can swing rods, reels, and baits in the realms that i call "rare air" then good for you. Enjoy them and I hope they catch you tons of fish. For me, at this stage of my life, Curado's, Lews, Gambler's, and Champions will suit me just fine. ;)

Quote from: Bassinlou on September 20, 2014, 06:40:30 PMNo worries, Lou! Wish I knew the colors of the rod. I think they're green, gold, and black/grey? I would love to put a, wait for it....................................................., Metanium on this rod. That would be a little pricey for my pockets. Plus, Im not sure about the aluminum drive gear with all of the heavy cover fishing that I get myself into trying to keep up with you guys and girls.
CCR... I know there are entry levels Megabass rods, I was just commenting how your current rod shopping made me stumble across a brand I know so little about.

Quote from: ccr425 on September 21, 2014, 10:10:01 AMYeah. .. that combo sure would be pricey!! I would think that a metanium's aluminum drive gear can handle the rigors of fishing in slop.

Gonna try and hit another one of the lakes at my development. Had about 30 minutes yesterday in between rain storms, managed to catch a fish on almost every cast. Burned a whole bag of speed worms. Man those little buggers were hitting hard. They were only yearlings, but was fun for the time.

Maybe one or all of you can answer me this. I just came back from Sears and purchased a new deep cycle battery. I went from a 24 to 27, just to have the piece of mind for the classic. Hehehe. Online at the Sears website the battery was on sale for $88. At the store it was $127. I walk in with my trusty smart phone in hand and I asked to purchase the battery. The associate told me it was $127 plus tax. I told him i understood that, but their website is stating $88. The associate told me he understood that as well, but that was for online purchases only. I told him what's the difference? Isn't Sears online, and Sears real world the same? He didn't know how to answer that. On top of that, if I were to have purchased the battery on-line I would have had to come into the store to exchange my older battery and they would give me the new one I purchased for the sale price of $88. Long story short, since I had the price online on my phone they did a "price match" from the same company mind you, Sears!! and I got the battery for $88. They also made it point to emphasize 4 times that this was a one time exemption and they even put that in writing on my receipt and records on their database. What the heck?? Can someone pls explain the logic here? :-\

Well....well...well.... look who has come back. I shop at Sears from time to time. I have one a few miles from my house. I like craftsman tools and lawn equipment, its convenient to pop into the store. Recently I had a long time Craftsman socket wrench go bad, I walked into the store and walked out with a new socket no questions asked. Craftsman lifetime warranty is no joke. (Before you and LMG chime in, no I didn't steal it....) >:D

I've actually read that elsewhere. I'll be checking often. It's very smooth and will sling a 3/8oz lure a mile with just a flick of the wrist. Heading to a park to try it again. Gonna try a t-rig.

Good news fellas! I usually enter a bunch of different sweepstakes usually without any luck. This time I entered a sweepstakes that I saw on Bassmaster Elite Series Pro, Brandon Card's Facebook page. Guess who won??? ;D I did!!! ;D I won an Abu Garcia Revo STX and a Veritas 7' MH Rod!!! Wahoo!! I'm more than excited!! The best part is that I actually met him at a show a few months ago and talked to him for a long time. He was really cool and down to earth. One of my favorite up and comers! That makes it extra special. I will post a review once I get them.

Got me a few things with some gift cards I got for my birthday. Needed some gloves to protect my hands. I am also determined to put my signature rig through every possible type of fishing, so I got me some little frogs to use with it. I want to prove that this thing can do it all.

I say the same thing about chucking and winding a Uvibe
That's what I liked about the glades and from what I seen on some parts of the river up here.
All different kinds of cover and scenery. Not just a big flat lake.....that's why pond fishing is fun too, a different mini lake to break down. :D

OK. I have decided to fish at Lox today after work. Problem, water is high, and the fish are in the flats. I have 2 rigs with me. My Sig Rig, and a 704 with a CH50E and 40# braid. I am gonna give the 12# YoZuri a run for its money and see just how strong it will be to the weeds. Got to go tie a frog to the 704. Gonna have to make due. I feel like I am bringing a knife to a gun fight. :help:

Well I was finally able to put my Orochi XX/Metanium(spooled with 15lb InvisX) through its paces. I forgot to use the KVD line conditioner, so I had to fiddle with the reel somewhat to find a good balance of distance and a tight spool. We were in a friends boat and fished a local river for a change. Started out with a bang! Fishing a T-rig and something nailed it so I set the hook. It was a good fish and pulled me into a laydown and broke me off! Oh well, retie and try again. I caught 2 small bass and 2 big bowfin. New rig handled all with ease. Threw it all day from 8:00am-7:00pm and really enjoyed using it. Rod had great sensitivity and the reel casted great considering the line. I also had a monster bowfin hooked and had him to the boat when the hook popped loose. He was huge, probably around 20 pounds! Rod was awesome and never broke a sweat. Really liking this combo for T-rigs or C-rigs. Nibbles feel sharp and crisp compared to my other rods. Used a 3/16oz weight with a 4/0 hook and 10" Culprit worm. Seemed to be in the sweet spot of the rod as far as casting was concerned. The rod is the Tour Versatile and feels like a medium heavy/heavy with an extra fast tip to me. I like it!

Man I been looking for a Clear option to braid but went the copolymer route. I tried Pline fluroclear and it sucked, any kink and it would snap......yozuri is better. it won't break and it is really clear. Only side affects are it has a ton of memory and is stretchy. My next option is flouro. I would only try it because of the strecthy feeling yozuri still has. Other than that might as well use mono. lo

It doesn't break as easy and is clearer, less stretch than mono but not that big of a difference and it has more memory.....I fought buying it for a while. The only reason I still use it over mono and other copoly is it is some strong shit other than that, it isn't my favorite line. I debate flouro, but you have fraying and other issues just to have less stretch I dunno if it is worth it. And this is coming from a guy who tries not to listen to the hype.

I use it on my Sig Rig. 12# all afternoon on Saturday to catch all the fish. I forgot to hit it with line conditioner, so it was sitting on the spool since the Kissimmee trip without it. I had 20mph winds, and had very minor amount of issues with it. Sometimes took a bit of thumb control, but no problem. Get rid of that fluoro crap.

I'm not sure what to think about InvisX. I was broke off once in a laydown and once on a hook set. This is my first time using flourocarbon so I can't compare this line to any other flouro. I want to try Gama Edge and Tatsu before I go away from flourocarbon all together. I did notice some stretch with the InvisX.

Hey LMG does your Walmart sell segar? I think mine sells redlabel or invisx dunno red box
I think line conditioner is suspect. How can something make something more "manageable" without a chemical reaction or a change in properties....and work on multiple types of line.....maybe it's the engineer in me but it is suspect or just water lo but I smell scam. But I don't have the time to argue with nimrods on here. Just call me crazy and ignore me like usual.

Here is my hypothesis. It works, lol. I don't know how, but it does. I have no negative effects on my line what so ever. Just make sure you use the KVDs line conditioner.

I haven't used Fluro in quite a while. I have narrowed down my lines to 2. Yozuri hybrid and Power Pro. These 2 lines are the lines that have given me the least problems.

Hey LMG does your Walmart sell segar? I think mine sells redlabel or invisx dunno red box
I think line conditioner is suspect. How can something make something more "manageable" without a chemical reaction or a change in properties....and work on multiple types of line.....maybe it's the engineer in me but it is suspect or just water lo but I smell scam. But I don't have the time to argue with nimrods on here. Just call me crazy and ignore me like usual.
I thought the same thing, but I have used it for years and it just plain works. I dont know why, or how, but it seriously does. It could be snake oil, but its high quality snake oil!

All I use is 17 lb Fluro and 65 lb Braid, except for my Topwater Rod which has 17 lb Mono. The Brand may change but the rest doesn't.
Braid for my Heavy Punch, Frog, Jig Rods and Fluro on everything else.
I really don't have any issues with it.

Just ordered some Missile baits products from BPS since they have free shipping this week on any order amount. Gonna try D bombs and Tomahawks. I like John Crews since he is from Va and once I saw he had the autism awareness support on his site I was sold. The missile baits website is nice too, like the product videos alot. Good apparel section too.

I think that you will really like the D Bombs. I really like the rings on the body. They seem to hide the hook point a little better. They also seem to last a bit longer than my other beaver style baits. I really like the Black & Blue. I think it is called Bruiser Flash or something like that.

Cool, that is the color I picked out. My buddy raves about Gamblers Bowens silver so this was close I figure I would try it. I was thinking the ribs would be good for skin hooking too. Can't wait to try these

Ultra soft is not very strong though. Down here with the weeds I need strength. How does it compare to the regular YoZuri?

The first light switch when you come in the room is to this outlet as in for lamps. The ceiling fan and closet light is over in the room. So this will be our lamp. It's awesome for sure.

Nice reel but.................................................Not my number one choice..........
Now my number one wish list reel......IS NOT THIS lo I am dying to get a JDM Tatula 8.1 and a Tatula flipping stick ~bb :shocking:.....Fuego, pixy and alphas are on z list too......but I need to prioritize 8)
Get a Zillion, way better than the Tatula in build and performance.

The new zillions too much money. Maybe on ebay....but I like the look of JDM tatula better than the zillion old zillions. However I would never buy a US Tat over a zillion...Besides why piss an extra 100 bucks away, I mean shoot no point in getting an over built reel. The funny thing is I hear most fishing "gurus" or "smarty pants" say "I buy shimano or diawa or brand X cuz it is quality and lasts forever" then in 6 months they are buying the next new reel from that company ~roflmao ~roflmao It's like dude you used the reel for 6 months or a year, no wonder it has lasted 5 yrs because it is sitting around lo lo lo The JDM Tatula or a Fuego or Pixy would be an upgrade to the reels I am using, which aren't bad, they get the job done pretty flawlessly too. I like the JDM Tat look and knobs over the paddles, plus it matches the Tat rod.

I tend to agree....I will stick to 100-200 as my range.....I see no reason to buy a zillion or tour mg or whatever for that much. If so I will look used in the above price range.

AGREE! I have thrown their uvide(better than zooms has hook slot and thicker tail) flukes, gators and trick worms with success. My buddy loves the muskrat says better than ri because the plastic gives more action. The colors are second to none too

The old ones were beefy and so sensitive. I'm not lying when I say I wish I would have bought 2 of them instead of the Dobyns Savvy I have. Because they are more sensitive and have more back bone.

Cool. Did you have the micros or normal size guides? I seen you can still get the old ones around. I might hunt around and keep an eye on these. I need two rods one for topwater/jerks and a flipping stick.....I wonder how different 2.0 is from the original.
But that said I can never make up my mind looking for things until I actually make the purchase.

Everyone, I would like some advice on a couple of setups of mine. I have a 6'6" medium/fast St. Croix Premier rod paired with a Shimano Curado I 7.2:1 reel that's spooled with 12lb mono. I'm using it to throw senkos, flukes, and small top water plugs. Also have the exact same rig only the rod is 7' and I throw square bills, small spinnerbaits, small chatterbaits, rattle traps, and senkos with it. I use these two rigs around lighter cover. Am I utilizing thes 2 setups correctly? They feel right while using them for what I listed above, but would like to hear the opinions of others.

I would spool one with mono to take care of the treble hook lures, and one with braid to handle the rest, especially flukes and spinnerbaits where braid will excel.

Right now I have a 7'2" mh/ef with 50lb braid for 99% of my hollow body frog/buzz frog fishing. The other 1% of my frogging is done with my flipping stick with 65lb braid for super heavy cover. If I need braid it has to be one of those. My friend destroyed me while fishing flukes once. He was using fluorocarbon and I had braid. Ever since then I haven't used braid unless fishing in or around heavier cover. I've had no real trouble with mono, except for the nice rubber band effect. In my experience the stretch in mono helps keep fish hooked when using moving baits. I guess I could fish the same stuff on each rig. I feel like the flukes work better on the short rod because a lot of the time I'll fish them with the tip down while twitching them around the surface. Really don't want any more braid for now.

Yeah that is why I like the shorter rod for topwater/jerkbaits...But the longer you cast farther I rather chuck a fluke and SB farther, especially with braid get a nice distance. You can always do a 2-3 foot fluoro or mono leader too. I tend to agree with you on the mono, but with the SB I just feel the hook sets are easier with the braid, really drive it home quickly.
Here is a little theory on the braid vs mono fluke IMHO fishing both for a good while, all I used to fish was mono, then went to braid more with casters. The way you work a lure needs to be adjusted. The less movement is transmitted greater with braid, so a slight twitch is a jerk, where as in mono a hard snap is a jerk of the bait. You see what I mean? Just like if you ever work a topwater with a mod/fast rod then switch to a xfast with the same bait, there is a adjustment there. They might have liked your friends rythm or movement that day. He had the right depth on the water column....many more factors than the braid v mono. That is just food for thought, we all tend to over think why we didn't get the big one today lo

I bet you that if I fished the same bait as your friend, on the same body of water, and I use 30# Power Pro, I would outfish him. Fish aren't as smart as you think. If you feel that it really does make a difference, put a leader on. It really wont though.

I'll give it a shot. I need to let y'all help with all of my setups. I have couple that have been fished once or twice since purchased.

We should have a separate thread for setup advice. I'd rather keep it here in the FL section because of the similarities of our conditions and cover. I'd really like to hear what everyone prefers for each type of lure and each type of cover. I used to hate anything stiffer than medium/fast, but now I see that medium heavy/fast or extra fast really helps get fish out of cover for most of what I throw.

Yes for the most part, but like dark said, you could throw the traps on the long rod and braid.
if you let the trap sink and get into the weeds braid is a must imo to rip it out, but hold on.
A trap depending on retireve is different because alot of hits are on the fall down. I watched a good video on bass master, scott martin maybe, talking about the different lipless and when to throw what and how to retrieve each brand....
Found vid scott martin.

We should have a separate thread for setup advice. I'd rather keep it here in the FL section because of the similarities of our conditions and cover. I'd really like to hear what everyone prefers for each type of lure and each type of cover. I used to hate anything stiffer than medium/fast, but now I see that medium heavy/fast or extra fast really helps get fish out of cover for most of what I throw.
You are gonna get many different answers even though we fish similar waters. Some like M rods for treble hook baits, where as some are more comfortable throwing with a MH rod. Also, each rod brand is gonna have a different feel to it.

Nothing like laying into a fish as hard as you can with a 6 power rod and it just stops dead lol. I was bending grip spindles for awhile from my hand still on the handle. Im trying to work on that and mike at hawgtech beefed up my handles for me.

We do this already, only we have to go digging for the info. I'm sure everyone would benefit from all of that info being in one spot. I'm always willing to try different approaches to catch fish!

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 29, 2014, 08:11:58 PMI like my CH E's better than my CU I's. The E's cast so effortlessly and are almost dead silent to me. I can feel the difference with the X ship in the I's, so I guess it's a toss up. Don't really care for white reels, but man they feel good.
Yeah. I hear ya. I still think the E's were a better reel.

Im really interested in diawas SV air brakes but I have read some mixed things. Apparently they are on a whole other level but I guess some bugs need to be worked out because the magnet sticks or something. Most diawas have gone to the sv now

I don't know. I am kind of up in arms about whether I want to do that to this reel. Might just be a display model for a while. I want to customize my other reels that I use first.

No won't buy, lexas don't have magforce z, daiwa got smart and quit putting it on the cheap reels. I got two old exceler a with z and aluminum frame both for under 50. Plastic side plates and 8 something oz but strong and smooth. I need to step it up, get a fuego or JDM tat.....or smoke.

The star and the spool tension knob on the zonda are painted I think....The spool looks cool as hell anyway. I would got JDM all the way with that. AVAIL....ZPI.... I like the aluminum handles better than CF but If you do hawgtech on the handle since they use shimano spindles then you can a shit ton of jdm knobs thats what I would do. Get an Avail drag star.

joe wanted to buy a motorcycle.
he doesn't have much luck, until one day, he comes across o harley with a for sale sign on it.
the bike seems even better than a new one, although its 10 yrs old.
its shiny and in absolute mint condition.
he immediately buys it and asked the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years.
well, its quiet simple really, says the seller, when ever the bike is outside and its gunna rain, rub some Vaseline on the chrome.
it protects it from the rain(true story).
and he hands joe a jar of Vaseline.
that night, his girlfriend, Sandra invites him over to meet her parents. naturally they take the bike.
but before they enter, Sandra stops him and says, I have to tell you something about my family before we go in.
when we eat dinner, we don't talk. in fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes.
no problem, he says...and in they go.
joe is shocked.
right smack I the middle of the living room is a huge stack of dirty dishes.
in the kitchen is another stack of dishes.
piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks is dirty dishes.
they sit down for dinner, and sure enough. no one says a word.
as dinner progresses, joe decides to take advantage of the situation.
so he leans over and kisses Sandra.
not a word.
so he reaches over and fondles her.
not a word.
so he stands her up, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table and has his way with her, right in front of her parents.
his girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid and her mom horrified when he sits back down.
but no one says a word.
he looks at her mom. she has a great body so he thinks.
he grabs the mom , bends her over the table , pulls down her panties, turns her every which way but loose. right there on the dinner table.
after she has a big orgasm , he sits down again.
now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, the mom is pleasantly beaming.
but still....total silence
all of a sudden there is a thunder, and it starts to rain.
joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket.
suddenly the father shouts...
ill do the f@%K*N dishes!!

you have no idea! not to insult Gambler, i love his boat, but it's tiny! going over the waves today i seriously though that swimming back to boat ramp was a real possibility!!! that thing was jumping all over the place for a small stretch before he found some cover form the wind. but overall it was a great time on the water with great friend! i've neglected our friendship and fishing last few months, let's just say life/work/everything was rough last few months, but i'm back to fishing now, at least till april or may when the temps get to a point of ridiculousness and the fishing will once again come to a grinding halt :)

No won't buy, lexas don't have magforce z, daiwa got smart and quit putting it on the cheap reels. I got two old exceler a with z and aluminum frame both for under 50. Plastic side plates and 8 something oz but strong and smooth. I need to step it up, get a fuego or JDM tat.....or smoke.

Well see if it sells. I am mulling, seeing the interest. I rather get a longer flipping rod that load better. Not a fan of the x-fast time. Personal preference is more that just what something says on paper. You see the dobyns flipping rods are all fast taper like the 734..... ;) I frogged with the 734 and put it to test, it will do as infrequent as I frog. The 735 is a beast though, nice stout rod.

Yes. I like using the softer tip of the 734 better the 735 is like a spring board. 734 loads much nicer ;)....when you say jigging I think casting jigs and working them on the bottom. That ain't me and that don't happen. lo

That was my initial impression in the store a few yrs back....couple folks though keep telling me they are great for the $ and consider them. My advice to PZ is try them for yourself but the blanks are supposed to be very good and sensitive.

Made a mock order for Hedgehog Studios. Purple parts to finish off the Chronarch, and all the red accents and a star drag for the Team Zillion. Total came to about $90 with the shipping. Sold the Super Duty for $120, so that's a good trade off. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to leave the other Chronarch with the stock colors. I just will leave the swept Hawg Handle on it the way it is.

You cant just flick the handle and have it make any revolutions before stopping. May be because of the light weight of the spool. And yea the brakes and tension are off. Again just stupid small and light. Cant weight to feel it on the champ 706cb!!!

Ok guys I need some help. I just recently got my boat back that my father stolen from me, we bought the boat together and he took it and wouldnt let me use it after we had a fight. Anyway, I got it back with no trolling motor. I think there was a 101# thrust on it and was looking at new one and was wondering if a 70# would work. The boat is a 1991 Storm 20.5 foot if that helps. Thanks in advance.

With that big of a boat, you are gonna need at least 90-100#s. A 70 may work, but if you have any wind or current, you are gonna tax that thing.

Actually no. I hate umbrella rigs. I use to use a similare rig with jerk baits. Worked very good. The two swivels help the line from getting tangled. It unravels itself if two fish hop on it.
I just seen it in a FLW tournament. Thought id give it a shot.

A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day at sea, a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them shit in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird shit."
"It was my first day with the hook."

An illegal immigrant picks up a hooker. "Hey, how much you charge for da hour, sister?" he asks. "$100" she replies. In broken English, he says, "Do you do immigrant style?" "No" she says. "I pay you $200 to do immigrant style." "No," she says, not knowing what immigrant style is. "I pay you $300." "No," she says. "I pay you $400." "No," she says. So finally he says, "OK, I pay $1,000 to do immigrant style". She thinks, "Well, I've been in the game for over 10 years now. I've had every kind of request from weirdoes from every part of the world. How bad could immigrant style be?", so she agrees and has "woops" with him. Finally, after two hours, they finish. Exhausted, the hooker turns to him and says, "Hey, I was expecting something perverted and disgusting. But that was ok. So, what exactly is immigrant style?" The illegal immigrant replies, "You send bill to Government."

Received the Money Order today for the Super Duty. Shipped it off after work, so now I officially do not own anything other than Shimano or Daiwa again. Time to order some more custom parts for my Team Daiwa Zillion. Going for a red drag star, level wind guide, pawl cap, and screws. Also, when Mike gets my purple end caps in, I think I am going to pick up a few sets of his abec 7 spool bearings to mess with.

Well I got a jig tied onto this 735 since it looks like everyone else hates the thing too.
No school Monday so get to fish mon and tue. I am serious contemplating cutting the jig and going with a why knot and 1/2 oz. got two nights to sleep on it. One thing fo sho is the spinnerbait is gonna get thrown on the 734......this place is "woops"ing dead, y'all meet up at the classic and it's been crickets ever since. Guess we all are busy though I know I am.

I just dropped some of my last bit of play coinage on about 20 LC baits. Sammys, pointers, SBs, and D10s and also a couple jackall Girons in the sparkle shad color.
Im on the fence about buying line. I know what I want (fc sniper, suffix seige, and sunline fx2 braid) but I gotta figure out if im gonna fish when i get there or wait till like march. The latter obviously blows

Well.... the more I use this reel, the more that its just not doing it for me. LMG, worked on it, and he did an awesome job, but the time is quickly approaching where I will be unloading my last Abu reel. The STX is just not cutting it for my taste. What to pick.... what to pick.... that's the reel question now. (Ha.. ha.. see what I did there).

On a side note, keep Ron in your thoughts tomorrow. He is having surgery tomorrow.

Buy them now. Once I get the deal done on the house I will. They were giving the old energies away for 99 even 60 bucks some places and now they are back up in the 100-130 range nib because u can find em and they were great reels.

There is also the fact that they are more reliable, better built, more upgrades and tuning parts available. But no, they are not worth it. I will still be dwelling on my Shimano Es when I'm 60 and still using them. Lol

Lou, drink the cool aid..... I love my ch200e's. My frog rig has an e7 and it outcasts every other reel that I own! Will be getting it back from its 36 month service, lol. Three years of fishing the absolute piss out of that reel without so much as a drop of oil. Mike from DVT said it looked excellent inside and out. She was cleaned, lubed, super tuned, and received carbontex drag washers. She deserves the pampering because she's caught hundreds of fish with zero fuss. 100% pleased with both of my 200e's! Very smooth casting and reeling. I will be gifting my Super Duty soon, lol.

Everybody throws the reliability out there lol. As much as use guys buy reels and the ten or fifteen combos it will take you til your 60 to get the time in lol upgrades? Bearings and drag are available for quantum. They come with 92 mm handles. There ain't really nothing you need ;) :D the shimanos come in some of the plain Jane colors and styling that can be lo lo I see why you need to take a 200 reel and drop another 200 in handles and colored bits to aid in personalization >:D one thing you can say about quantum or daiwa they have some good looking reels you pay the $ you ain't got to do shit but fish. ~bb

Bearings and drag are available for quantum. They come with 92 mm handles. There ain't really nothing you need ;) :D the shimanos come in some of the plain Jane colors and styling that can be lo lo I see why you need to take a 200 reel and drop another 200 in handles and colored bits to aid in personalization >:D one thing you can say about quantum or daiwa they have some good looking reels you pay the $ you ain't got to do shit but fish. ~bb
The extra money in personalization is dropped in them because it can be done. The cool aftermarket things are available, therefore, they get customized. Otherwise, they would get left alone. But hey, that's just me because I rather enjoy that stuff. As far as buying and selling, notice what mostly gets sold off, and it ain't Shimano reels. Don't worry Mike, one of these days you will figure it out.

Sorry I will never jump on the Shimano band wagon. I buy a reel to be used the way it comes and get use out of it. I can guarantee my $99 (paid 75 on ebay). Lew's speed spools have pulled more fish that are 20-30 feet back in large lilly pads than your $150 + $$$ parts and shipping JDM tuned Shi*manos..
They have lasted with no issue and I'm not easy on reels... keep my drag set harsh and literally ski ski 5lbers on top of lillys and grass. Plus they come with excellent comfortable handles, small easy palmable reels and no "jdm" koolaid. I prefer sweet tea regardless :-/

I dont think anybody but me even owns a jdm shimano unless Im mistaken amd no thats not a slop reel. Its about 10 times more refined. Its like comparing a old lifted F150 against a porsche Carrera. Thats just not what its for
Thats the usdm curados lane and they are great at it.

Well I can agree personalization is fun to a point. In reality it is not even considered when I purchase a reel. Dude you have sold and traded soooo many shimanos. You got reals retired on the wall of fame, come out of retirement. No wonder they last forever LOL. I do have this figured out. Certain options on a reel, EI weight, retire speed, how it palms are important. If a brand performs at the same levels why pay for a name.

Not soo much sold and traded, I like to think of it as "sacrificed", lol. If it were a perfect situation, I would still have all my Shimanos to this day. But, there are some things a man must do to obtain what you want.

I can say Ive owned every competing brand and can say this..Shimano= bland styling, quality components that provide reliability and they feel light and refined. Cost of ownership can be high. Lews=feels similar to shimano but seems to me to be less refined and built of lesser quality components. Reasonable cost of ownwrship. Daiwa=seems very refined and light, also has good styling built of quality and research. Cost of ownership can be high. Some may be uncomfortable to palm. Quantum=feels light and refined but quality of some internals gears and such have plaqued them overtime with moderate use. Quantam has good styling. Cost of ownership can vary but overall very reasonable

I would agree with this. ~c~ finally an honest man. ~shhh I hear the quantum gears are softer brass, but the offer a lot of bang for the buck, with good styling and some innovative design(neither I have yet to see in shimano ::) ) The only problem I have with daiwa is their stuff is expensive so I go older. they built the cheaper stuff with better features, and the high end older stuff is affordable.

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people
Who remarked it was a shame the old man
Was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
So they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,
'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'
So they then decided they'd both walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought
They were stupid to walk when they had a
Decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people
Who shamed them by saying how awful to
Put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right,
So they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge,
They lost their grip on the animal
And he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone,
You might as well..
Kiss your ass goodbye!

Lew's reels work. They get the job done without much crying. I bought an SD and a CuradoI for the same price this year. They have seen about the same amount of action and they have been used in the same VERY HARSH environment. The CuradoI basically feels new with no slop and I have zero issues at this time. The SD feels like I have been using it for years. The handle has tons of slop in it and somehow my hooks always fall off of the hook keeper on the rod its mounted on. I like how the SD fishes, but that's it. The slop bothers me and so does the fact that I can see the main shaft that supports the handle and drag star. I have no problem fishing Lew's, but will not buy another........ I know, I know.... I really have to pee from all the kool-aid, lol.

Havent really been able to focus on catching fish recently but figured it was a good idea to start working on my tackle collection. Maybe christmas ill visit bitters and load up on all my plastics.
Until then ill keep working on hard baits. These BPS Xps jerk baits look great in the water. This Plano box really caught my attention. Nice balance of size and storage.

Don't worry no drive buys... no need to waste good ammo and end up committing a "hate crime" on the pink hat/short super stars... lol
JDM or not you get my point. Sheep-mano's are ugly and way over priced.
Comparing a F150 to a Porsche is not a good comparison for the reels.
It's more like comparing a Chevy Silverado (looks better) to a Toyota Tacoma.. sure the Tacoma will run 300,000,000 miles and on one tank too but it's ugly. The Chevy may wear a little bit but she'll make a good long haul while towing all the broken F150's along the way....

Quote from: West6550 on November 10, 2014, 03:13:48 PMNo it is a good comparison really. See tbe f150 (your lews) is built for offroad (mats) fishing. 99% of jdm reels (porsche) are built for the track (finnesse to moderate) fishing. There are exceptions to this. Thats why comparing the performance of a jdm reel to the mats doesnt make any sense. Like I said thats what the curados amd chronarchs arw for

Honestly I think 90% percent of equipment failures or should I say supposed failures are due to user negligence or error.(side rant: I mean seriously guys step on a rod or swing a fish how is that a warranty and they bitch about shimano's lifetime going away cuz yall cheated the system. ~rant ) The reliability of a curado is probably not that much different then a comparable lews. Just like reels some shmuck don't know it has an internal brake or they don't know how to set it. I mean there is this one dipshit on another forum whos reel looked horrid, like the beat it into a gravel driveway, and when it finally snapped wants to post it as an equipment failure, writes all the reviews as it failed...now that clown who lou knows very well should be in the circus ~roflmao

So you are saying Shimanos are for soft hands and light use. But if you want a Shimano that is actually useful in Florida then instead of buying a $99 Lew's you need to drop the $180 on a Curado... I see.
Kinda like buying a 400hp Ferrari for 250,000 instead of a 80,000 Corvette with 600hp...
Yep next you'll tell me to buy Ferrari brand soap to wash my golf balls with lol nah I'll stick with a blue collar proven work horse that's prettier, stronger, and likes sweet tea like I do.

It is compared to most other high end reels, and a Curado is in the mid range category. As far as CHEAP, I was referring to the quality of Lews reels in the same category.

Boost the koolaid all you want. I have fished with plasticity bulky Shimanos before. I thought they were just old cause they were my buds reels.. but no.. that's just the 90's styling still in place.

None of it is neccesary, just some of us have to put a little pimp in everything. I guarantee my curados with the abec 7s will chuck a crank or spinnerbait further than almost any reel on tbe market. Sometimes that makes the difference especially when your sharing a boat

This.....
I have been fishing for 25 years, and have been servicing my own reels for 20 of them. Yes, I have been servicing my reels since I was 12, no mistake on the math. I am a gear head, and there is nothing I pretty much can't take apart and put back together. Have I seen the internal differences and advances in reels all along the way?............

I really wish I could. The boat is beautiful and it hauls arse pretty good. I think it had power poles if I am not mistaken. Unfortunately, me and glass will not mix. As long as I live in South FL, tin will always be my boat of choice. I bang my boat alot especially while fishing in the glades. Rocks and glass are no..no's... tin and rocks and you can get away with some things. I do regret not taking a ride on West's boat when he offered during the classic but I was low on gas $$ :P.... ~roflmao..... >:D

I would have but I already picked up 6 -3 packs of all terrain jig skirts. I am fond of those rubber skirts. When you checked out the hubs did you look at http://www.fishboss.com/ (http://www.fishboss.com/)Really nice stuff. Their the ones who make them. Although cant click on anything??At 50 cents a piece plus a cheap jig skirt and a piece of floral wire you have homemade punch rigs. I already have tons of tungsten all the way up to 1 1/2 so im good on the punch weights.

What I swap out are cosmetics, not internals. Which is where the difference is. Cheap Chinese VS quality Japanese.
Mmmmm. Better rethink that thought. While I was still working the SG Dept all the new Shimanos we were getting all said "made in Malaysia" I believe it was. I held an older Curado and a brand new Curado side-by-side and you could see the difference. They REALLY cheapened them down. Plastic internals and such.
If fact we set up three outfits to "test out" for the Customers to try. One was a KVD Quatnum MH Rod with the KVD Reel, one was a Skeete Reese MH Rod with the Victory Skeete Reese Reel, One was a Falcon Bucco withe a Shimano Curado Reel. All brand new and all set up with the same line, same lure.
Took them out to the Auto Dept Parking lot and gave them a test. KVD Scored the lowest for feel and throwing distance. Falcon/Shimano scored in the middle, and the Skeete Reese consistently scored the highest among the employees and customers.
Was quite a shock. No one expected that. We sold a lot of the Skeete Reese rods (had one come back broke after the guy's kid flopped a 6 lber onto it while it lay over two jon boat seats, not the rods fault), sold several of the KVD's both rods and reels, some Falcons, but only a few of the Shimanos.
After trying them no one wanted to pay that much for a reel that couldn't out preform a $100.00 Reel.
My local Lews Dealer sells them quite a bit under retail. Takes stuff on trade too. Many of the Local Bass Club guys have converted from the Shimano's over to the Lews. Used Shimanos in his shop all the time.
Lews all the way for me. Shimanos are good reels too, but WAY overpriced.

I was referring to the reels that are still made in Japan. I know what you mean though about the Malaysian reels. There is no comparison in quality. However, Shimano had to make sacrifices in the product to maintain the pricepoint. Me, I would rather pay a $200 price tag to keep the quality. This is the reason I did not sell off my 50E's. There is not a reel that can ever replace that legend.

Quote from: ccr425 on November 11, 2014, 07:07:37 AMIm also thinking the tests should have all been done on the same rod as the rod makes up about 30 percent or more of the casting distance
Must have been a Curado G. Took a friend fishing once to "where reels go to die" and his G didn't last the whole hour and a half! The Curado I reels are still made in Malaysia, but are made up to par with the Japan reels. The G's were bad. So glad I didn't make that mistake!

I was referring to the reels that are still made in Japan. I know what you mean though about the Malaysian reels. There is no comparison in quality. However, Shimano had to make sacrifices in the product to maintain the pricepoint. Me, I would rather pay a $200 price tag to keep the quality. This is the reason I did not sell off my 50E's. There is not a reel that can ever replace that legend.
Just because a reel is MADE in japan doesn't mean all the parts are made there. Only a few parts need to be made there to qualify. Many of the gears, screws and springs are mass made in China or Malaysia and sent to factories. All over the world. Your Japaneese reel is probably half chineese, just like lou's engrish. ;) 8) ~roflmao
Edit:
Many of the low end daiwa and our beloved dobyns are from china. Now if you read the rod handle it says Korean parts, assembled in china. Two things get companies in trouble...poor quality of materials that go into making the parts and poor QC/finish( ehm ehm quantum) when making in china.
Yall just read they are gonna let our processed chicken be made in china and shipped here, GOOD BYE TYSON TENDERS....Chinas chicken doesn';t meat USDA standards so they must buy and import from south/north america make said product and export to us for consumption. Me hopes this proves inefficient.

Mmmmm. Better rethink that thought. While I was still working the SG Dept all the new Shimanos we were getting all said "made in Malaysia" I believe it was. I held an older Curado and a brand new Curado side-by-side and you could see the difference. They REALLY cheapened them down. Plastic internals and such.
If fact we set up three outfits to "test out" for the Customers to try. One was a KVD Quatnum MH Rod with the KVD Reel, one was a Skeete Reese MH Rod with the Victory Skeete Reese Reel, One was a Falcon Bucco withe a Shimano Curado Reel. All brand new and all set up with the same line, same lure.
Took them out to the Auto Dept Parking lot and gave them a test. KVD Scored the lowest for feel and throwing distance. Falcon/Shimano scored in the middle, and the Skeete Reese consistently scored the highest among the employees and customers.
Was quite a shock. No one expected that. We sold a lot of the Skeete Reese rods (had one come back broke after the guy's kid flopped a 6 lber onto it while it lay over two jon boat seats, not the rods fault), sold several of the KVD's both rods and reels, some Falcons, but only a few of the Shimanos.
After trying them no one wanted to pay that much for a reel that couldn't out preform a $100.00 Reel.
My local Lews Dealer sells them quite a bit under retail. Takes stuff on trade too. Many of the Local Bass Club guys have converted from the Shimano's over to the Lews. Used Shimanos in his shop all the time.
Lews all the way for me. Shimanos are good reels too, but WAY overpriced.
Good post. It is mostly a name (hyped by fools like LMG) that you pay for when you buy a shimano or Daiwa.
Same goes for spinning reels, is a stradic or a prycon better than a president....Uhm no. LOL not for 100 dollars more.

Correction. All parts for Japanese reels from Shimano and Daiwa are manufactured in Japan. Shimano has moved the assembly plant to Malaysia to save on labor and taxes. Do I feel that has made a difference in the QC? Yes. I still don't believe the newer Shimanos are up to par with the E's and prior. Now, as far as your "other" reels. Yes, they are Chinese parts/assembly. There in lies the quality problem.

Knowing the the manufacturing industry from the inside. I will tell you every screw nut bolt and gear damn near impossible is not made in japan. Those parts are wholesaled from a couple factories in Malaysia and china. Now LMG where are most failures? in the small parts....screws, clips, springs.......I am not as dumb as I play on here, bro.

I have been working on reels for quite some time, I will tell you that it is NOT the screws, clips, or springs that fail. Those go missing because of people that have no idea what they are doing. What does fail are: plastic gears and brass gears, bearings, worm gears, and pawls. Most of this stuff is wear and tear. Now, depending on the make up of the parts, and the quality of the materials, is going to determine how long they last. I will tell you that I replace more parts in Doyo/Pure Fishing reels than any other reels. I have seen Shimano reels take quite the abuse with no failures.

What about the exchange rate? I know that when I raced nitro RC cars the Japanese brand Kyosho was a lot more expensive than other brands. Part of the extra cost was quality and the other part was the exchange rate. RC has the same debate. Haters jabbing at Kyosho all the time. If they ever raced a Kyosho or better yet worked on a Kyosho they would see the light. They were worth every penny, just like Shimano....... ~b~ That's my last post on the subject. ~c~

OK OK my last post too...Now no one said that Japanese reels were bad or not as good or not good at all. Just Shimano is boring, bland, way overrated, over priced and break just as much as any other reel. Daiwa makes a great reel and they are better shimano.... styling, innovation, price they have shimano beat in all catagories and far more popular in Japan. That has to tell you something right there. But cost versus what you get if you are budget minded or just not into throwing away dollars on "over engineering" Lews and quantum are the way to go...That is the point West, deadeye and myself were trying to make. :P

No, I simply ignored your statement completely. And your experience really means nothing to this friendly debate. It is irrelevant because this whole thing is a matter of opinion.

::) Trust me they have the hands in the parts bag.

On a lighter note:
An old KY hillbilly entered a poetry contest. Surprisingly he made the finals along with a Harvard grad.
For the final they had 10 minutes to come up with their best piece of work using the word "Timbuktu".
The Harvard man went first:
He writes "out in the desert, alone in the sand, traveling onward, a lone caravan.
Camels marching two by two on their way to Timbuktu.
The crowd goes wild, thinking no way that hillbilly can beat this.
The hillbilly recites:
Me and Tim a camping went. Met two "woops"s with a pop-up tent.
They was three and we was two, so I bucked one and Tim bucked two.
Pure silence from the crowd.

Only 55% of the F-150 is made in the USA, 15% from mx. and the rest from various countries including china and malaysia.........That's not what I said numb nuts. All manufacturers have different specs/designs. But they come from alot the same facilities in mexico, china, Malaysia. You keep harping that shimano is manufactured in japan or malaysia like they build every single nut and bolt. But in reality probably only half the reel is acutally made on site is my point, they use chineese parts, they just don't have the ballz to say it >:D ~roflmao ~roflmao ~roflmao

I don't care about nuts and bolts. Im talking about the important guts of the reels. Gears, bearings, body, spool, hard parts, and the parts that mean something. I would bet to say that 95% is manufactured and assembled in Japan. We are not talking Doyo reels here, we are talking Shimano/Daiwa. You know, real reel manufacturers. ~shade

And you "bet to say" .....so no you freely admit that these "facts" are merely your interpretation and day dream of this fictitious reel you have con-cocked in your little head. I rest my case as yours has little merit.

Definitely a must do. Use magic eraser to get rid of the crap first. Then a thin coat of U40 sealer. A little goes a long way, I learned that lesson already. ~roflmao

It may darken the cork a tad. Nothing drastic. It actually looks better, not being so chalky looking (especially the Champs cork).

I vote no. I like the aged look, I told you before I don't like selling shit so I don't worry about resale value.
Actually I will be a little more honest. "woops" spending the money on that shit. If I had some laying around or a friend with it close by, doubt LMG is gonna stop by the house tonight, maybe.

Then tell me why Shimano and Daiwa gears are stronger?
Edit:
I have a Abu Silver max.. which is horrible in my opinion. Odd corners and horrible handles. But it came with a rod I bought a few years back. I use this reel for top water spooks and cranks. It's the only rig that has mono on it. But because I don't use it harshly (knowing it's not powerful like a Shimano isn't) it has lasted several years now... my point being a Zebco 33 on a ugly stick will last years if you are easy on it.

BOOM! also dudes that shell 200-400 hundred for a reel are probably a little more anal about cleaning and maintenance. Hence they probably would enjoy oiling the brake drum after every use rather than fishing longer. Another reason why they claim they last longer ;) ::)

Quote from: Bassinlou on November 11, 2014, 06:18:44 PMI know. It took me several weeks to find one that the bid didn't shoot up at the end. But I was on a budget so the patience paid off :-) It was actually sold by a Sporting goods store that also has a store on ebay. Worked out great for me. Also got a Lews speed spool from them for $75 when they were $99 normally. Both wih free shipping. But that was when Lew's first came back out a few years back now.
I also have a couple a LEWS and they are comfortable reels. A TTpro for $137 is a great find.

I know of a couple on-line retailers that sell TTpro's and the new LFT's for $149. If your patient and look around there can be some surprise deals around.

Ok lets here your mixed emotions on the 13? I like somethings but not others. But at 170's and finding them cheaper and cheaper might be an equal to a smoke. My biggest gripe is the ugly knobs with fishes on them....But I do like the size and shape, and now I dig the fish on the thumb bar that is a nice touch that shimano would have never thought of cuz they are stuck in a box. ~roflmao

They look OK. I think they have nice aggressive handles, but the drag star looks cheap. I am with you on the knobs. I just think they are way over priced for a Doyo reel. I would take the Smoke over it any day.

That is one awesome reel. function is power. Everything from the handle nut to drag, can I call it a star anymore, adjustment is rediculous....Including the 500 bones it would take to procure it. That sure would look great on a Lee Smith rod. ;)

One lazy Sunday morning the wife and I were quiet and thoughtful, sitting around the breakfast table when I said to her
unexpectedly,
"When I die, I want you to sell all my fishing stuff, immediately."
"Now why would you want me to do something like that?" she asked.
"I figure a woman as fine as yourself would eventually remarry and I don't want some other azzhole using my fishing stuff."
She looked at me intently and said:
"What makes you think I'd marry another azzhole?"

Correct me if I am wrong LMG that aird, if you got the right things should fit a lot of the same parts as a fuego and zillion due to the similar shaft and frame? Just like the new ones that are on the same platform as the zillion and tatula right.

Using reel butter, abu, etc...
Seems like all oil and greese will break each other apart. Even using small amounts of oil tends to get mixed up.
Anyone found some really good, long lasting, dry polymer based lubricants?
I cant help but think about this rifle lube I used on my M4 and glock 20. Ive been tempted to try it on a reel.

Either cals or shimano grease on drags, shimano grease on gears and such. Ive been using the oil that comes with shimano reels (the best reels) for a medium viscosity oil for worm gear, internal bearings and anything that is not a spool bearing. For spool bearings ive been using boca lightning lube. The lightning lube is extremely thin and reaplication very often.

Yea I think you might mean to say carbon fiber look. The section above the reel seat has it for a few inches. I think the split handles look better for sure but for me, full handle is the way to go. Only downfall for me is more cork to keep clean. You know me, resale value is definatly a concern with everything I have however I am gonna try to calm down lol

Kevlar is typically the yellow/yellow and black fibers especially in the fabric form before epoxy is applied. just looked like kevlar to me on the dx handles.

The one on the right looks like a carbontex to me. The one on the left is the Shimano Dartanium. Maybe they couldnt get it to fit, only one way to find out and thats to pop it open. The paper that came with those is definitely what came in all my carbontex kits, just a plain piece of colored paper with what reels it fits on. Ive done all my reels, but never really noticed a difference other than the stop/start being alot smoother. I have had one that I ordered that said it fit the reel and only one washer fit, and I had to reuse the old washer again just like what is pictured. So possible thats what they did.

Quote from: EvolutionTungsten on November 15, 2014, 06:37:26 PMThe small washer is definitely Carbontex. Just found a good picture on Google. I sent an email to DVT inquiring about it. Thanks guys.
The one on the right looks like a carbontex to me. The one on the left is the Shimano Dartanium. Maybe they couldnt get it to fit, only one way to find out and thats to pop it open. The paper that came with those is definitely what came in all my carbontex kits, just a plain piece of colored paper with what reels it fits on. Ive done all my reels, but never really noticed a difference other than the stop/start being alot smoother. I have had one that I ordered that said it fit the reel and only one washer fit, and I had to reuse the old washer again just like what is pictured. So possible thats what they did.

Probably start with a T-rig, either a ribbon tail or leaning more to a rattlesnake. Going light for slow easy falls. Taking a lipless and might burn and rip it through the grass after it lights up.

Will do ;D I still have all my coats from the great white north lo
I was reading in the Fuego for sale a bunch of the guys dumbfounded that reels are going cheap. I am not putting my spinning reel on ebay. That fuego on ebay went for 105 and a smoke inshore NIB went for 112 the other day. Looks like it is a tough time to sell, I know your reel isn't getting any love either. I am not willing to drop price so I will keep the reel and the CW and move on.

Sometimes all they do is open their mouths. I had a gator once that got hooked by a frog on one of its back legs. Fought him to the boat. However when we got him to the boat he came up tail first. That was crazy!! I lost that frog and fortunately i did not lose my head in the process.

This is the accused abuser. I saw him responding and I have taken all phone privelages and locked him away in a closet where he belongs. If any further text messages are received reaching out to help these extraneous accusations of abuse one finger at a time will be sent to you and your family. Starting with his Shimanos!

Hey guys. Im still alive.

I have wasted $23 on a handle lock nut set that I cant use because I use HawgTech handles. I will however do a post on this site for a "dress up" tutorial, and use the stock handle to show a difference a little "bling" can make.

I am telling you though.....before I spend 200 on a reel. I would buy another 734....or maybe a 704....That is just one versatile rod, though I probably could find one for half as much that did just the same. I dunno if it would be as light or balanced.....

Everyone who doesn't use Shimanos always hates on em. Its a little thing called jealousy! It also always seems to be the guys with 3 different reel manufacturers in their arsenal. Can't find what they want in a reel but don't want to fork out the money for quality. Can't help ya there playa!
My cores are the smoothest, longest casting reels I have ever seen. And I've had a lot of guys fishing in the back of my boat with all kinds of junk. While they are picking lashes I'm catching fish lol. My curados are just plain workhorses, and I've put em to the test. Don't hate on that 50e, I caught a 25 lb striper on the delta last year with mine and 30lb braid and a MH rod. Hit a senko, and screamed drag like crazy on a five minute fight. I thought it was a Largemouth and was screaming like a girl the whole time haha. I've had ally curados for 4-5 years, and do the bare min maintenance and they are still strong as day one. Not quite sure how you can knock that, but you guys go ahead and keep jumpin on that Shimano hate wagon. I'll keep laughing at ya while you pick out lashes!

Nobody hating but the shimano knobs. Get something else on there there are A TON of cool knobs. You even busted CCR chops for the shimano on the megabass rod. How can you live like this, your living a lie LMG don't deny that beautiful zillion the knobs it deserves. 8) >:D ~roflmao

That's what I don't get, who's shit backlashes? My quantum and daiwas don't frequently enough to be annoying?

All good, and in my opinion to each his own. I just chimed in because it always cracks me up how much Shimano hate there is. And its usually by people who have never owned one and have no real beef. Bandwagon is all hehe. And just for the record, I think daiwas are cool too just never owned one. Never needed to, yet to have a Shimano fail on me. Ever.

You started out shimano or did you gravitate to that brand after a few other brands?....I guess my point is my reels have never failed me so we are looking at it from the same ground for now. time will tell though.

Wicked cold here too!!! No I've always used shimanos, with the exception of a few Mitchell's when I was like 10 yrs old my dad bought me. Started with Shimano spinning, still have 2 saros, a stradic ci4, and a sustain. When I switched to baitcaster it was all Shimano.
I did buy a quantum once. It was the first quality reel I ever bought myself, a spinning energy PT because I thought that monochromatic finish was sick. The guy at BPS told me not to do it actually, and about 40 days later I brought it back because the bail wasn't clicking over all the way, it was junk. It was past return, so he gave me a tongue lashing and walked me over to the counter so they would let me exchange it for a saros. Other than wal mart Mitchell's that was the first name brander I bought and it broke on me. Hence my love for sheemano, not a single issue since and I fish a ton and hard on my gear

If you look at my post all I say is they are ugly.. cause they are. They are overpriced.. again they are. I poke fun at the handles cause you buy a $$$ reel then a $$ handle and im here catching fish no worries with no backlashes?? That's called people who don't know how to set up the stuff yet..
I never said they aren't quality reels. Any reels in the $200 are that.. each have thier issues. Like Shimanos cheap plastic and crap handles apparently.
My #1 reason I'm anti-Shimano is 99% of people who use then a d-bags who say everything else sucks... funny cause I've been using my $75 Lews for two years now.. they need cleaned is all. But they still cast a mile and ski fish out of places most reels wouldn't dare to go.

Me either, but some older reels like that fuego with the stracthed up sub frame work good they just need paint. I really really love the Ito Zillion, first reel (if I had cash to drop, this reel, a zonda like you have, and a purple alphas and a zillion PE would be my four daiwas)...Some of the round reels are cool too. But what I get off on is the few that are the solid machined block, that is sick. The handles and knobs are cool too. See that is why I tell LMG get some different knobs on that zillion. They are all about 4 times my price range LMAO

+1 to this.
If you look at my post all I say is they are ugly.. cause they are. They are overpriced.. again they are. I poke fun at the handles cause you buy a $$$ reel then a $$ handle and im here catching fish no worries with no backlashes?? That's called people who don't know how to set up the stuff yet..
I never said they aren't quality reels. Any reels in the $200 are that.. each have thier issues. Like Shimanos cheap plastic and crap handles apparently.
My #1 reason I'm anti-Shimano is 99% of people who use then a d-bags who say everything else sucks... funny cause I've been using my $75 Lews for two years now.. they need cleaned is all. But they still cast a mile and ski fish out of places most reels wouldn't dare to go.
Only thing I want to ask here is what cheap plastic and crap handles are you talking about? All shimano handles are aluminum or magnesium, so you lost me there. You talking plastic side plates? All reels on the market have either plastic or magnesium side plates. You lost me on that one.
Overpriced? Have you seen Daiwa's lineup? The Steez is worth $600? ALL REELS are overpriced in my opinion. Even Lew's prices are slowly creeping up, and I remember when they came out I had the opportunity to Pro Staff with them (My tourney partner got on with them really early) but I didnt want to give up fishing with my Shimanos. Their first reels were all in the 100-150 range, now they are 200+ for some models. Hate to say it but the recurring theme lately in ALL manufacturers lately is to charge an arm and a freaking leg for a quality reel that doesnt weigh down like a brick.
I defend Shimano because too many guys out there want to talk smack that have never owned one. I mean ACTIVELY hate on shimanos though. Hey man, I get you dont like em thats cool, (and this isnt directed towards any of you guys here btw, this post is really directed toward BR forum posts) but do you really need to go OUT OF YOUR WAY to post how much you hate shimanos and check out your new xxx reel here, because it is SO MUCH BETTER than any shimano offering? Its almost like the guy who buys the big truck then lifts it 9 inches but has never been off road. We call that short man syndrome haha
So I do appologize, not meaning to go off on you guys because its not like that. Just really chaps my hide when someone says I hate this or those suck when they really have no idea or no reason to say it. If you have legit gripe, like you used shimanos in the past and you lost xx amount of fish because of xx reason, that would be totally legit. I dont go around posting how horrible xxx reel is, because I just dont have the experience. No, I wasnt impressed with my tourney partners lews. They seemed light and nice, and honestly I think he DIDNT know how to set them up right so that was probably it, but he had a lot of problems with em while I fished away in the front. We were doing major stuff in Cali, $600 entry fee tourneys, so when he was picking a lash for 20 minutes I would get pretty fired up lol. No line in the water and fishing against Lintner, Randy McAbee Jr, etc we didnt stand a chance with just me fishing.

I agree all reels are overpriced as well. Your old tourney partner must not have set them up. The last time I spent 20 minutes undoing a backlash was when I first started fishing lolol
I have owned several brands of reels. But never a Shimano. I have fished with them several times using buddies rigs.
To each thier own. Like I said I have straight had people say on a random post about stuff where people are providing help "Blank reels suck get Shimano" then they will literally give no help lol like Shimano is an all mighty gift to all fishermen and will solve the problem lol
I jokingly bash them to tease you guys on here. But if you read back you will see I never say they aren't quality reels. But sure are ugly lol even you didn't defend that lol In my opinion most brands once you get up in the $150-200 range are good reels and brand is a choice.

Its not that we don't like them, it's that cool stuff is available for them. I get killer deals on certain things, IE having HawgTech handles. Notice all my reels have them. Cheap plastic? Not Shimano, try your Doyo Chinese reels. It's called being a enthusiast.

The handles provide me a better mechanical advantage to wrestle nice bass out of cover compared to stock handles. MCS, i doubt you have used that abu long enough on the water with the new longer handle to see what i am referencing. i can tell you with that same Abu, since I used it for about 2 yrs, if I would have used it with the nice handle you bought for it, I would have noticed a significant difference in handling bass. Pls, do not take this the wrong way, I am not saying this to attack you. Reels can be worked on for various reasons. Many like bling, many like upgrades to give them an edge, for example bearings. My changes on my shimano's are mechanical in nature, not for aethetics.

I think your probably right to a degree. But I don't think it is worth another $100 for a handle. The Abu was 30. It doesn't make a big deal in normal fishing. Even when the bass dive into hydrilla the stock 90's on the energy, pull it out. I don't normally deal with the top cover you do in the glades. I mean even you scoffed at the hawgtech price when I brought it up. As far as reel upgrades I would like to tune a reel and get some bearings and see, no lie. Just like the copolymer and the handle I tried it, I don't think either are great improvements nor to I think they are total wastes. But unless your tourney fishing and splitting the hair on a fish or two a handle is mostly cosmetic for a guy like you and me. Lo I will skip the flouro though because I don't tourney fish and after pissing money away on copolymer. Learned braid and mono are all an average guy needs. Any way I digress. Have a good one.

What can i say the orientals have small hands. The Abu was 85 I went to 95. The Mercian daiwas and quantum are 90 and 92 respectively as I measure. You see even with the tatulas the put a longer handle on the is models. What me and west are saying is a freaking hundred dollar handle ain't gonna wet my noodle enough to buy it. It ain't a game changer, if it was so crucial it would be standard. Lo

What the 2 of you don't understand is that some of the things we do to our reels is basically what people who drive sports cars do. Sure you can buy a $60,000 Corvette, but you are still gonna put an exhaust on it and change the rims. You get what I am saying? Not changing parts because they are crap, but rather that we like to customize and tune them.

Sure I understand it. I used to do super street before the G*y azz fast n furious. I just have grown to realize a) I ain't got money for exhaust and b) a stock corvette with me behind the wheel will still beat 9 out of 10 of these jokers on the road so why bother with an exhaust.
Speaking of vettes I keep seeing the commercial with the blue drop top....NASTY.

Who cares.... People can buy what they want with their money. Bottom line! Some people enjoy tinkering with things and I'm one of those people. I enjoy trying new lines and flushing bearings and trying out new drag washers. I'm an enthusiast. Do I NEED to do anything to my reels, of course not. I just enjoy tinkering and learning about what WORKS BEST FOR ME. If I had a boat I would be doing a lot of tinkering! Y'all would laugh if you knew about some of my flashlights..... :shocking:

All stock.
And this is what I don't get. That reel is just to plain for me, and looks like every other Lews reel. They are all the same. I would have to add color or something to that reel.
Now, 100K Vette? Yes please!

The guy that I work with got a light off eBay that was like 2,000 lumens for almost nothing. I think it was $15 with a charger and extra battery. I don't know how long its gonna last, but it works awesome. Also got some kind of green lazer, and it will ignite a match. Cool stuff.

Missed like a million pages of stuff to read lol.
First of all LMG... it looks like a honda civic. Had to get that strait first.
Next up.... Dark3. Nice sleeve and that surefire is a beast. In all honest though....
The AN/Peq 2 laser with Night vision is a bad ass combo. I use to use that IR flood light and light up whole mountain sides or villages if I suspected some bad guys were moving.
They would be none the wiser plus it works wonder for calling in airstrikes or close air support. Pressure switch too.
Loved that thing.

I must have put 50-100 miles wearing snow shoes. My unit was a global response force with a 96 hour deplyement notice to cold mountainous environments

I talked with my Brother in Law yesterday and found out that they live about 10 minutes, if you are running, away from the lake. He said I could come up and stay for the Classic if I wanted to.
BUT, I have an important meeting that weekend that I can not miss ~rant.
Oh well, maybe I'll run up with the boat and fish it sometime.

Yeah my wife's grandparents/aunt are about 10-15 away. In June we got out on the lake in their pontoon but no fishing just cruised, lots if little islands and a TON of riprap banks to work. I have also heard the docks are the place to work too. Big stripers in there I heard also. It be a nice change of pace from florida fishing for sure.
It is a little disappointing as I think this would be the closest classic to me(us) and would love to take my kids. But I can't complain it's a good reason to miss. I jokingly told the wife if its a boy we should name it after who wins :-* Ish, Ott, Shaw...lo She didn't think it was amusing as I did. ;D

I have a long wat to go beforw sge will be ready. The motor needs service bad and the boat is all stripped down to bare bones so we could carry it.

Yeah, since I changed brands the mounts are different. This time around since its a much stronger motor I decided to bolt through the bow instead of using the t mounts that pop off periodically.

But seriously with your taste in rods and reels that is maybe half a handle and maybe two guides...only a dozen more Christmas' and you will have fancy combo

Cheeseburger in Paradise
I went into a new burger joint yesterday called "Barry's" and I noticed an interesting item on the menu called, "The Obama Burger". It looked pretty good in the picture but there was no price listed on the menu so I asked the young girl behind the counter what was on it and how much it cost.
She said it was delicious but I'd have to order it to find out what was on it and not to worry about the price because the guy in line behind me would be charged for it.
It sounded too good to be true but I figured, what the heck, IT'S FREE. If I don't like it, I'm not out anything, so I ordered one Obama Burger and stepped aside.
After a few minutes, the server told me that there was a problem with the register and that it would be a few minutes before my order could be processed so I patiently waited.
After a few more minutes the girl told me that my order must have been deleted and I would have to order again.
This happened several times and each time I ordered the same thing.
"O-BA-MA-BUR-GER" I said for the fifth time.
"Oh yeah, that's right" She said."It'll be right up. You're gonna' love it. It's awesome."
After several delays and apologies but no Obama Burger, another employee approached me and handed me a bill for $12.70.
"What's this?" I asked.
"It's your bill" She quipped.
"But I ordered the Obama Burger and she said that the guy in line behind me had to pay for it" now noticing that the guy in line behind me was complaining about an additional charge on his credit card receipt.
She said "That's correct sir, the person in line behind you was charged for the burger but YOU are responsible for the taxes and processing fees associated with the Obama Burger and your total is $12.70."
As you might imagine, I was becoming a bit frustrated at this point so I said;
"Look, if I had known I was gonna' have to pay $12.70 in taxes and fees for a burger when I don't even know what's on it, I would have ordered something else! Just give me a chicken sandwich"
She glared back at me and said; "That's not how it works, sir. You already ordered an O-BA-MA-BUR-GER"
Suddenly the guy who had been complaining behind me began shouting; "I WANT TO TALK TO THE MANAGER!"
"The manager is on vacation, sir" the young girl responded.
The guy was becoming belligerent and continued shouting even louder "I NEED SOMEBODY TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THERE'S A $50.00 CHARGE ON MY CARD!"
No one behind the counter paid much attention to his shouting, it seemed they had heard it all before.
The young girl rolled her eyes "I already told you sir, the man in front of you ordered the Obama Burger" .
"WHAT THE #*@% HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?" He screamed, now waving his receipt wildly.
The young girl dutifully responded "Everybody has to pay their fair share"
Just then, a family of Mexicans walked in, approached the counter and began speaking in Spanish while pointing at the menu.
They were promptly escorted to the dining area and served fresh burgers, fries and soft drinks for which they were charged NOTHING!
"Did...did...did you see that?" I said to the guy behind me. We just looked at each other, dumbfounded. . ..
"I'll have what they're having" I said, pointing to the Mexican family.
"I'm sorry sir but we're all out of that." said the young girl.
At this point, I just wanted out of this insane asylum. I was tired, hungry and felt like I had been robbed.
I turned toward the door and was headed out when I noticed an older gentleman in a military uniform sitting quietly in the corner.
He looked a bit bewildered so I approached him and asked if he was okay.
"Just waiting for my food" he sighed as he slowly raised his receipt.
"How long have YOU been waiting? I asked.
I could see the confusion in his eyes. "A few days I think." he said.
I couldn't just leave him there like that so I returned to the counter to inquire about the gentleman's food but there was no one at the counter.
I looked at the guy who had been charged for my burger and asked "Where did everybody go?"
He just looked at the floor and said "They're on a union break. They said they'd be back in about 30 minutes".
"But it's right in the middle of the lunch rush hour!" I said as I noticed heavy smoke beginning to roll out of the back.
". . .AND THE KITCHEN"S ON FIRE!"
Apparently, the cook had left the grill on and a grease fire was spreading through the kitchen but nobody seemed alarmed but me!
The family of Mexicans were too busy enjoying their free meal.
The gentleman in the military uniform had passed out from hunger.
The guy who got charged $50.00 for my burger was so pissed-off that he didn't care.
The employees were on break
....and the manager was on vacation.
Suddenly, I realized what "The Obama Burger" was all about

Wow... looks like the battle lines have been marked and every one is in their respective corner. Hmmmm. Who knew!! ~roflmao
Reel threads always have the tendency to be heated. Considering the threads I have witnessed in the past over at other places, you guys kept it civil. lo
Sooooo.... to change topics, what are you guys doing over the Xmas holidays? Me.. I am staying local, all my family and wife's family are local so we celebrate close by. Hopefully, I can sneak out and fish out in the glades couple times this month. ;)

Hey guys hope all is well. I managed to get the outboard on today. Alaways scary getting lined up on that sealant just right. Your transom doesnt have a "Im getting a little wet back here alarm" lol. Im dropping the boat off at a local marina to get the tahatsu post break in service done. Im gonna have tgem look everything over and change all the fluids for about 100 bucks. IMO thats money well spent. Im gonna try to hit the bank tomorrow with a new friend I met already. Just gonna spool up one rod and head out for a much needed break from working on the new house.

My cores and curado E's didnt need a thing, but man the white chronarch and the new CI4 were F'ing TERRIBLE out of the box. So bad I thought about returning them. Took two bearing flushes to work out the issues with both of them. My white chronarch I didnt put enough cals on the teeth of the gears, never had that issue before. Had to slather it on, and now it feels like butter. When I first got it was coated with shimano grease, I guess thats why. Haters can hate, and Im sure they will use that as fuel to the fire but they do purr now. I agree you shouldnt have to do that on a brand new $200+ reel but I like to clean em up and put rocket fuel in anyway. That CI4 Curado I was seriously on the fence with keeping or not, even threw it up on BR for sale for a while. Now that I re-cleaned it and really soaked the crap out of the bearings it feels right. Great for a flipping reel, need that high speed to power em out. Still have a Metanium in the cards though, thats next :P
I put ceramics in the Core50 about two months ago, holy crap does that thing launch now. Im running it with only one brake on, and throwing 1/8 oz texas rigs a frickin mile. The curados are getting bocas next, I know LMG doesnt like the ceramics but they arent loud to me at all and the performance is crazy. Stuck the cores bearings in a new Cardiff A for swimbaits, really opened that thing up too. Round reel is growing on me! Took it out on a charter boat for our oldests 9th bday and it handled the Blue Runners on my swimbait rod no prob hehe

@Lou I agree not enough of frogs or anything lol. 1/4th and 1/8ths. But two different brands. They do look huge.
@West
These baits are almost as big as gambler big EZs. Im liking it. A 4/o might work since they are softer but im going to be safe and go with the 5/o. My car wont smell like garlic anymore though lol.

Im jelous! Lol looks nice.

If it does manage to float as soon as you throttle forward the engine would probably roll the boat up and to the bottom you go likr a piggy in a blanket.

So looks like I am fishing with Jasper Engines sponsored Bassmaster Pro Chad Morgenthaler January 4th in Central Florida. Depending on the conditions he said we can figure out which lake to fish when it gets closer to the date. Funny thing is that next weekend I will be back up in Lake Wales to her Grandfathers house to fish his lake again. Should be a good month for me. Oh, by the way, he told me he is a big time "flipper", so you know what that means. ~shade

They call it a sol II.....they are all over ebay when you are looking for original sols. I believe the additional $ is they bill it as fresh/salt so there may be some corrosion resistant parts....Now Don't say a Orange tat...because the zillion, exceller, aird, etc. etc. all use the same frame as the tat LOL so they are all techincally tats. lo lo I see it is a different handle, wonder if the guts are better or same as a tat.

My go to toy was my Craftsman 12 inch table saw when I lived in Fl. Built a lot of things with that thing. I learned to use one to its fullest from my Dad. Had to sell it when I left, hopefully some day I can get my hands on another one.
I got an 8 inch one in storage, but it needs bearings and a shaft, it is so worn out that it has a 1/2 inch kerf, and chatters badly. But then again it is probably a late 60s model. In its time it was a fantastic saw.

My grandfather was big into wood working. His shop was so insane. He was a jack of all trades. Heck he owned a tackle shop and tied flys I actually got a few from his keeper.
Nothing better than building stuff with your hands and getting it's full use.

What do you guys look for in a good Senko rod? I'm gonna get a new rod soon and it will be used for Senko fishing, among other things. I'm trying to cut down to 4 combos.

Something that can cast light baits obviously. Gonna need good sensitivity, I would go for a 3 power Champion if money lets you, or you can go to the Savvy for a bit less.

I was wanting to stay with the Orochi XX line. Was thinking about the Extreme Mission Type F. Heard it did pretty well with Senkos as well as several other lures. The only drawback in my eyes is that it's 7'5". I'm sure I could get used to it if it fishes well! ;D

Well... my son's fall baseball season is over. Unfortunately they lost in semifinals series but won 1 game out of a 3 game series. This was his first season playing and he was recognized has the most improved player. He was beaming from ear to ear. Now i have a month or so of breathing room before the spring season starts.

They are desigmed for ONE impact. Once it falls of the bike once it can jeopardize its functionality when you really need it. I think its shoe that you can send it in annually and they run it through a imaging machine to check for fractures

If yoy see any negative reviews on the quality or longevity of the internals, dont forget you can always change parts out for cheap like brass gears and such. Its actually a very good looking reel right off the bat. Kinda a poor man steez

If you need to use a leader, so be it. 12lb yozuri leader compliments the braid. Just don't do a crazy hook set. Enjoy the new rod!!

Quote from: Bassinlou on December 18, 2014, 04:43:05 PMI stuck with the same line from MB. It's the Extreme Mission Type F. So I'm guessing that you don't care for a leader while fishing bottom contact lures or Senkos?? I had a catastrophic failure with InvizX..... I'm over fluorocarbon! Lol.
Sooooo???? What did you get? 40lb braid is fine, that's exactly what i am throwing. It doesn't dig like 30lb has a tendency to do. If you need to use a leader, so be it. 12lb yozuri leader compliments the braid. Just don't do a crazy hook set. Enjoy the new rod!!

Quote from: Bassinlou on December 18, 2014, 06:34:52 PMYeah, when I'm fishing on the flats I use braid with a fluorocarbon leader. I get tired of hearing the knot slap the rod eyes! I'm going straight braid for Senkos and T-Rigs. I'm only using mono for topwater, spinnerbaits, and cranks. Soon to try Yozuri Hybrid and Sunline Defier. Heard good things about both. Hopefully I can fish some Saturday!

You know sometimes it easy to take for granted how many fish I do catch. My mother grew up eating these fish and always begs me to keep them for her. So I did keep a couple the last few months. We chowed down and it made her christmas.

Well, looks like a trip to the ole Bass Pro tonight is in my future. I have $165 to blow, and believe $100 of that is going to a rod for the Daiwa reel the Wife got me. Like I need another combo, but hey, what the hell right? I know I am going to be doing quite the amount of flipping and pitching next month with Chad Morgenthaler, so I may need to dedicate the Zillion Coastal rig to that, and have another stout rig for frogging. Thinking maybe a Veritas 2.0 for the Lexa. Could be spooled with 50# Power Pro and double as a swim jig rig too. I know I am bringing 4 rigs only with the trip on his boat. Got to figure out what is gonna make a combo for this reel.

WEST, thank you for the links, I saw one of them already. I also went ahead and ordered the extended battery pack that this gentleman Scott M, uses. Not bad $$ on Amazon. With Prime it will be here on Monday.
My wife also got me the clamp with the extended arm attached to it. I can clamp it on the windguard of my boat and get a whole shot of the front of the bow. I was messing with the editing features last night. Just finished mounting a clip on a hat, and see if I can shoot my first vid at the canal a little later.

The Mrs. and I had very good time last night. Unfortunately, the restaurant I originally intended to dine at had been closed for quite some time now. Since I do not frequent that area much I was unaware that it has been since changed into a school!! :o So we had dinner at another restaurant and enjoyed the performances at Cirque de soleil. Quiet time without kids every once in while can be refreshing. lo

lo Thought I should report this. The make shift Go Pro hat mount, did not work. Unless the brim of the hat stays straight constantly then maybe. My cap is more like a baseball cap where the brim curves. It wasn't like the more modern hats youth's wear today that its a straight brimmed hat. Oh well, plan B. I will get the head mount piece and attach it to the hat vs wearing a strap around my head. I still want my eyes shielded from up above vs just wearing a strap attached to my head. Stay tuned.

Well fishin with the Girl didnt work in her favor. I got two and we went walking I spotted 3-4 fish around 12-14".
She tried her best but spooked 3 and couldnt get the accuracy to get the last one (between some sticks).
Was fun though. I'll have to keep teaching her. :)
About my jerry rigged go pro lol.

As far as cameras for UAVs I seen used in site survey. The GoPro are a the lightest with the best resolution for the best price. I am sure you can get better resolution or cheaper but most are heavier or more expensive. So I mean if they are good enough to use in the A/E field they should be good enough for Joe Shmo to film himself plucking a couple of dinks out of Toho or sneaking the dink in his old lady on date night lo lo

Nice now you can join us in tbe frustration of trying to figure out what your looking at lol. I have a 898hd si unit which Ive had for q good while now and still dont know what the heck im looking at most of the time on imaging. Does that unit have some sort of gps capability?

They do have Elite 4X's with GPS capability, but I purchased mine without that feature. I do not fish open water alot. The majority of my fishing is done on canals in the Glades.

Its really cool when there is a gator under the water. I was pretty fascinated by it when I caught it on the screen.
