I'm excited about the 10XD. Especially since it's big. I tried the 30+ last summer, and was not much impressed because it caught the same small fish I was catching on senkos. I also tried a couple of musky crankbaits I bought from Ebay. Never caught anything on them, so that's even worse.
May I suggest you take a look at the Powells? The Max 753 jig rod to be specific. Exceptionally sensitive rod, and very well-balanced unlike the longer spinning Powell Maxes. Disclaimer is I don't own any $200+ (regular bass) rods.
Find a big bucket, and a stopwatch, and count the sink rates after rigging trailers, skirts etc. Nerd info: In vacuum, they all will have identical sink rates.
I know what you're saying. I got rid of a Revo Toro Winch and then a Daiwa Luna because I wasn't in love with them. Got a Curado 301DSV, and now everything is perfect!
When was this?
A similar thing happened to me once; I was the buyer. USPS website said "delivered", and I never received anything. After a few phone calls (to USPS managers/ postman), and about three or four days, the reel I bought turned up on my doorstep.
This.
I own and fish plenty of ragetails myself; but there are days when a less-action trailer (I like chigger craws) have produced better fish (not necessarily more).
Glad to see you were able to go out Sam.
P.S. No wonder it's a "double secret" location. (Just funning around. I'm sure you're good enough to catch numbers and size anywhere.)
There's no such thing as too small or too big a lure IMO. If the bass are feeding on 2" baitfish, I won't try to catch them with a 10" bait; and viceversa,
