First off they look suprised because I nuck up on them.lol
And yea that big one was 5.1# and it should have gone back... I was so happy to catch it I never thought about it.
I have theown back a 35# flathead before for what its worth.
And yes that is a new R&R = lews TP reel and a 7' micro Kistler.
I am trying some 15# X50 and it is stiff, casts poorly & I had a knot slip Today ... I don't understand and it has memory ! I am not ready to give up on it yet but I will bet you it becomes leaders...
Sorry just my $.02
How well can a weightless 5' Senko be casted with 50# braid ?
I have 1 reel with 10# 832 and it digs a bit but it has caused no problems yet but I guess I will need to keep an eye on it?
I ended up buying a Kistler.
After 1 day of use it is OK the grip is a bit fatter than I like but it's light and sensitive and has a cork grip.
I also got a new reel (Lew's TP) and I haven't seen an increase in casting distance but I am going to try just setting 1 break instead of 2 and see if I can't get more out of it.
All & all I'm happy with it and may buy another Microguide rod.
I got to handle both of them Yesterday and I sure like how the grip on the Loomis is a small diameter. I just got a Kistler with Microguides I've only fished it 1 day so far so I am trying to decide if I want to buy another micro rod or one of the 2 I started the thread about.
I got to try my new TP reel Yesterday for the first tine and it's great & has some nice features but the regular speed spool is all the reel you need and 1/2 price. By all means if you have the cash get the TP but if not the Speed Spool is still awesome.
I have a tournament pro on the way
I have a Speed spool and it is great ! Very small and light but if I had it to do again I'd just get the TP to start with .
Can someone tell me about the Savvy line of rods ? I'm looking at the Dobyns Savvy Cast Rod 7'3" Med Hvy 733 to be exact .
I am wanting to get either that rod or a G. Loomis GL2 Cast Jig and Worm Rod 7'5" Med Hvy
Thanks
I see a lot of rods around with Microguides And don't know anything about them . Do the small guides affect the casting distance ?
I understand they are lighter but other than that ...
