    You got lucky. Some bails are a nightmare to get the springs in right.

    If the guide came apart the first few uses you could blame defect. After a year it’s at best questionable and at worst unlikely. A tip top is <$5 part two way shipping would be 10x that or more.
  3. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Warranty it. Just take it to the store and swap it.
  4. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Yup that color is $$ Keepin that one under my hat lol
  5. Delaware Valley Tackle
    In my experience gin clear water usually means smaller profile, natural colors and long casts.
  6. Delaware Valley Tackle
    "Expect" should be 100%. Real results, I never measured, but If I miss or loose multiples in a short time I'll change something. What depends on conditions.
  7. Delaware Valley Tackle
    The only application where a 7:1 reel might have a mechanical disadvantage would be deep cranking and/or high resistance bait retrieve.
  8. Delaware Valley Tackle
    There are just too many variables and preferences for any kind of generalized concept of 'balance" to be valid. Like JF said, trial and error and decide for yourself what you like.
  9. Delaware Valley Tackle
    You should be fine. The limits of each rod will have to be determined through trial and error. "Med" etc varies from brand to brand and sometimes line to line within brands. It's all subjective.
  10. Delaware Valley Tackle
    "Micro" covers a range of guide sizes so It's hard to say for certain, but your line is really light so I wouldn't expect any problem. You also skipped an option, straight braid. I use it all the time in very clear water with no problem.

    Hey man I agree 100%. That’s what I meant about it being over thought. The varying grip part applies more to spinning rods. I was generalizing about the whole balance thing. Nothing aimed at you or your post. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
  12. Delaware Valley Tackle
    This has got to be the most over-thought topic in bass fishing. There is no right or wrong, 100% personal preference. Then the variables of how you grip the rod. In the end you have a bait, wind, current all pulling at times.
  13. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Just resist the urge to lock it down. Let it do its job.
  14. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Nothing by definition. It’s all subjective so it depends on the makers. Spinning rods in the same line may run less powerful than a casting rod with similar labels.
  15. Delaware Valley Tackle
    If it rains and you get warm runoff try tight to the bank with Colorado blade spinners.
  16. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Hair jig time
  17. Delaware Valley Tackle
    The bearing needs to insert into the spool if I remember correctly. Therefore the spacer must go underneath.
  18. Delaware Valley Tackle
    I like the stiff, light bail Daiwa uses as well.
  19. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Right. Rod power choice should be driven by bait, presentation and cover. Species may play a part but the differences between the basses is irrelevant here.
  20. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Those are PacBay Minima guides. They’re good budget guides. Not junk at all. I use them occasionally mostly on light power rods and/or for weights savings on finesse rods.
  21. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Unless you grip the rod forward of the reel, it’s size will have little or no affect on balance. The preferred feel of a setup is too personal for others opinions to be very helpful in my experience. It doesn’t hurt to ask but you’ll have to be the final judge.
  22. Delaware Valley Tackle
    I think we talked on the phone. Anyway Fuji is a brand with offerings across the spectrum. No worries
  23. Delaware Valley Tackle
    My concern with top water and jerk-baits is imparting the desired action. My preference is a fast action but soft tip. They are not mutually exclusive. A moderate action can work if it’s not too soft. I want bites first, then worry about landing them.
  24. Delaware Valley Tackle
    More than chance of breakage, the rod may be overpowered by too heavy of a bait making the retrieve feel labored and/or mushy.
  25. Delaware Valley Tackle
    That’s a recurring myth to explain why those tend to get louder once the factory grease gets cleaned out. Not a bad reel just unrealistic expectations imo.
