  1. Berkley Big Game Green! Been there done that and can't go wrong with it. It is always easy to find, cheap, and works!
  2. I am glad I am not the only one. For the past 3 years I have tried Seagur Invisx, Trilene 100% floro, Berkley Vanish, BPS brand, and Vicious. I went back the Trilene Big Game green in 10, 12 15lb on my baitcasters. I use P-line Cx premium copoly on spinning, and Power Pro braid on swim jigs and frogs. I will never go back to floro. They all have one characteristic tha no one can argue with -- if you have even the slightest bit of fray in floro it is going to snap. I fish around 90 days a year and compete in several tournaments. I can't stand floro and won't use it just because the pros use it.
  3. Will the Mustad 32796 fit in the Do It mold flat eye Arkie Jig mold that the 32798 goes into?
  4. I have the roundhead weedless mold and two shakey head molds. I use roundhead jigs for casting jigs. I would like a jig mold for flipping wood, water willow, docks, any nasty stuff. What mold is best? I like the looks of the arkie mold that uses the 32798 mustad hook, but I don't know if that hook is strong enough. I need some opionions.
  5. I used 15 lb Seaguar before with no problems, but had two break offs with the 8 lb test on my shakey head rig. I always retie and check my line for abrasion. I won't use Seaguar again for this application.
  6. I use big game for most of my applications (10 cranks, 12 light worm and jig, 15 spinnerbaits, bigger jigs and worms) so could big game 8 lb work for shakey head fishing? I have been using Seaguar Invisx in 8-10 lb but it keeps breaking off and not neccassarily at the knot every time. I have never had a problem with big game breaking, but is the 8lb big game to visible in clear water? What do you guys think?
  7. I had a Shimano Crucial drop shot casting rod that I used for shakey heads and drop shot. I broke the tip of that rod and am exchanging it for a G-loomis. I am getting a loomis because I have several of them and like the expeditor warranty because I fish a lot of tournaments and if I break a rod I need another one quick. I really liked the Shimano Crucial drop shot rod. My quiestion is this, which G-loomis rod should I get? The lighter 820 rated for 1/8 to 3/8 mag light or the 822 rated for 3/16 to 1/2 mag medium. I usually use an 1/8 to 1/4 oz shakey head or drop shot. Do any of you guys have these rods? If so which one do you prefer and why? Thanks in advance for replies.
  8. Sweet! I just needed one person to tell me it was good. That gives me a good excuse to spend more of my kid's college money. Thanks Ronnie.
  9. Does anyone have this rod? Can I also throw a shakey head on it? Do you like the rod?
  10. I contacted them and they are sending me a return shipping label to me to send the rod back. TW is very good in the customer service department.
  11. I bought a Shimano Crucial Drop Shot rod from Tackle Warehouse about a month ago. Today I went fishing and hooked a fish about 2lbs and it made a run under the boat and the tip of the rod broke. I was furious. I take care of all of my equipment and hate it when stuff like this happens. I have never flipped a fish in the boat or anything like that with this rod. My question is will Tackle Warehouse refund or replace my rod or does Shimano? I really don't want another Shimano rod so what do I do. By the way I am not bashing Shimano I will continue to use Shimano reels but I have never broken a rod like this before so I plan on buying another brand rod. Thanks in advance for replies.
  12. I am a confessed line ho. I came back to Trilene Big Game 10,12, and 15 pound test. For heavier applications I use Power Pro braid. As far as memory, anything that is 20 pound or bigger is going to have memory.
  13. I went fishing with a guy yesterday and he stored all of his plastics out of the bags in plano 3700 boxes. Will the plastics stay in good shape? Have any of you done this?
