Anyone fish these?? How are they ?

The Hook Up has been running a 2 of 99.99 deal on on these rods for a bit. I thinned my herd a bit too much this winter and needed a new magdraft/tournament rod. Sensitivity is a non-issue for that bait so I could do without something expensive. I've owned Combat Sticks, Levante and Orochi rods that fit the bill for frogs and Magdrafts. So I thought what the heck and ordered a 7ft5in H med fast (up to 2 ounces) and a 66 Mf spinning rod for drop shotting. I've had them out a couple times... the short? No Brainer buy if they have a model you need. The Heavy is nearly identical in feel and performance to the 73Hmf Combat Stick. Awesome for Osakana Slides and Magdrafts for basically 50 bucks. The spinning rod feels nice and was plenty sensitive for drop shot or tiny jigs. If you're on a budget or are being pragmatic, you are not making a mistake with these rods.

I saw a picture on Instagram of the monkey hold you like a bass. "Worked this one for months, finally got him."

I live on the edge... Carolina Rig

Tatula 103 SV. Lh 6 and 8 ratios for $125 @ hook up

Speak of the Devil... MAY25 will get you 25% off at Kittery now.

A Levante Brailist will work for t rigs and chatterbait. It's a touch softer than a Orochi. Kittery Trading Post has 15-25% off sales fairly frequently and includes Megabass. I don't think I've ever paid more than 165 for a Levante.

Evergreen Combat Stick 7ft2in Moving Bait/Shower Blows rod.

Buy the scheels deal the save the $$ for ffs if you desire it. The garmin black box and lv32 transducer are 700 used all day.

Bait has consistently gotten bites for over a decade. Swimbaits that don't perform typically die a quiet fast death. S-waver is still kicking.

Any Daiwa in the last 20 years. E series Shimano too

If you're over 1/2oz most of the time the 7ft2in Moving Bait/Shower Blows rod from Evergreen is amazing. Like I bought 2, good.

Imakatsu Popper Mouse would be great over the top Jig Big weedless swimbait like magdraft freestyle just busting through

50ish is when they come out for me

I'm 95% sure Kage rods are tatulas with different color trim. Anything about the tatula version should apply

762 Phenix Recon is amazing for hair and neds.

Spend 250 on 2 nice setups 7ft Medium fast 7ft Medium Heavy fast 2500 or 3000 sized reel

Dawn in hot water and an old electric toothbrush

Enforcer?

Those weights are too light for my Brailist. X-bites is the rod in megabass. I use a 71 MHxf Tatula for those weights and it's been great.

Stretch your hips and back a lot

You can get a Tatula 200 for like 140 and it is a great swimbait reel.

I used outdoor carpet from Lowe's or something. Take off the old carpet delicately and use as a template.

Cals for drag Phil Wood grease for gears/clutch Rem oil for frame bearings Tsi 321 for spool bearings

Whichever is like 7" long
