Wel, nowhere is written you were going to do it right the first times.

Not just you, thousands have gone through the same issues, so unless you suffer from some sort of neuromuscular pathology you'll finally end up handling the reel properly.

And 1 13.5 lber .....

Old news. btw, I caught my first 10+ lber from shore and have caught a few ones later also from shore.

It depends, only fools would go with nothing less than 30 lbs braid in my neck of the woods.

1 good combo always.

It depends, I do have one of them deep spinnerbait boxes with dividers from where to hang up to 100+ sbs, so if you are not going to drag that sucker ( other than drag it to the boat ) that's a good option. If I'm going to fish from the bank I carry with me a Flambeau spinnerbait box ( like a tiny version of the big momma ) it can hold up to 6 spinnerbaits.

4" any more questions ?

NO

That was fast !

There's nothing wrong with trying different options, how can you find what you like if you don't ?

Yup, import taxes ( 17% ) and sales tax ( 16% ) rise the cost heavily, the only good part is that in orders above $100 from that vendor I get free shipping, incredibly enough, I have purchased even more expensive reels from Japan and not paid import taxes. Yeah, I know, the funny thing is that I haven't felt the need to purchase reels in at least two or three years, my last purchase was a SS SV.

It's an old Bomber A model, the smallest one had that shallow running lip.

Hmmmm, why would I want to do that ? Got 3 Pixies, Alphas Type F, Alphas Itö, Alphas R Edition, 2 TDZ 105H, Zonda 68, SS SV, Scorpion 1000 Mg and Chronarch 50 Mg, those are plenty finesse baitcasters; btw, 2,600 Mex aren't 70 US.

Trolling, not on a cast, on a cast you would be lucky to hit the 20 ft mark and only for a few yards.

Well, photoshop or not, no matter how you look at it, it's still one friggin huge gator !

Professional Hitman for El Chapo. Brave !

Anybody got one ? Not that I "need" one but for whatever reason it caught my eye, it's very reasonably priced too ( 2,600 Mex vs 3,300 for a Tatula ) and looks nice.

Necroing a 4 YEAR OLD POST ?

Now that's a real knuckle buster. Stren Magnathin, man that line handled beautifully and :........had ZERO abrassion resistance !

I don't fish tournaments so any tournament rule doesn't apply to me, it's not illegal in my neck of the woods and, well, if I'm in spot A and I'm going to move to spot B, then I have no problem in trolling from A to B, hell, who knows, maybe I discover a spot where fish are holding in the process.

Magnum 7-20 & 14-40 made SPECIFICALLY FOR BAITCASTERS, that POS should have a stellar position in bass fishing's Hall Of Shame of fishing products.
