    Those guides alone retail for $25.

    On a fresh water rod, line wt ratings are practically meaningless. The advantages of braid to bass fishing has nothing to do with pound test. Use your drag and common sense and your rods will be fine.

    We as consumers would be better off if these manufacturers would work out the bugs and improve upon models and lay off the generations, gimmicks, redundant models etc.

    You certainly can use co-poly for cranks and it may be the best choice in cover and around zebra mussels

    Rather than fret over drag setting if you're worried about breaking off, concentrate on tying good knots and re-tying often.
  6. Delaware Valley Tackle
    No problem. If you find the braid fouling the bait add a short stiff leader.
  7. Delaware Valley Tackle
    I don't get the concept even. Why would you crank the reel with the bail open?
  8. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Do you need tape to keep it from slipping or does the stretch of the main line prevent that? I've only used Dacron backing on fly reels.

    From the looks of it that threaded barrel just cam loose from the blank. Easy fix. If you want to tackle it email or call me and I'll walk you through it.

    If i had to guess I'd suspect that the knot between the two 12# lines created a bump and caused the issue. Check that to see that it's as slim a knot as you can get.

    Not all frags require grease. Sounds like yours might have gotten oil or grease on it inadvertently
  12. Delaware Valley Tackle
    A quality reel with an aluminum frame and good drag (not necessarily 20# worth) will do fine

    I've used some Rodgeeks glass/ carbon composite blanks that are nice. GOOD glass blanks are the best of both worlds. The old Lamiglass SR705 for example. I like mod fast carbon blanks for shallow cranks and popping off weeds

    It depends on your reason for using a leader at all.
  16. Delaware Valley Tackle
    It depends on the way you grip the rod. As I do, with the stem between the middle and ring finger the weight is right at the fulcrum and makes little to no noticeable difference.

    Ya a well done build on a quality blank will outshine a poor build on a top end blank. I did a rebuild on an LTB blank that had overly large , poorly spaced guides and it was night and day.
  18. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Yup, in fact you can add Pflueger to that list. Welcome by the way.
  19. Delaware Valley Tackle
    They're all on the same platform and built in the same factory. If the PQ has the features you like and is most economical.....

    No one uses a loop knot on hard baits in place of the split ring?
  22. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Trimming the threads gives a cleaner look and a more comfortable grip allowing your finger to rest on the blank as opposed to the threads.
  23. Delaware Valley Tackle
    That's a no brainer
  24. Delaware Valley Tackle
    The Core is Great bang for the buck higher end reel.

    The beauty of the old centrifugal brake system was the set it and forget it. An ultra adjustable cent brake is pointless to me. If you need more, dual breaking is a better system imo.
