Used to but no longer, I even owned an aquarium store. Mexico's largest tropical fish importer ( Acuario Echegaray ) owner is a friend of mine.

You bet it is specially when I worked my entire summer vacations in order to purchase it, that and a 5'6" Silstar MH rod to go along with it, my very first BC combo, caught a lot of fish with both.

One picture says more than a thousand words, post a picture.

Less visibility ----> more sound, more vibration, larger hydrodynamic signature, more flash.

No matter that has SHIMANO stamped on it I will never again purchase a "composite" frame reel, that's the promise I made to myself the day my cherished Silstar Starlite Pro bc sccidentally slipped from my hands and landed from waist height and broke it's reelfoot.

Hmmm, I've fished for over two decades with Big Game, have caught thousands of fish with jerkbaits, actually my first 10 lber was caught with a jerkbait and .... godang, I never thought I was fishing with the "wrong" line. If you feel 12 lbs is too stiff then use 10 lbs. Of course, what the hell do I know ? I have only been in this sport for just over 40 years .....

Man, if you are going to try FC get REAL FC.

WHUT ?!? There ain't nuthin' similar to BR in the entire universe.

Both are important to me, my reel costs about the same the cost of the rod.

I already have that combo .... several times, GLoomis CR/MBR 723/4/783/4 IMX + Shimano Chronarch 50 Mg/Scorpion 1000 Mg/Daiwa Alphas Type F/Itö.

I have several GL2 from the previous generation, I wouldn't bet against me I with one of them and you with a NRX.

Spinnerbaits, lipless cranks and above all, Jitterbug, why Jitterbug ? Not because it's the most productive, it's because I love the sound and the suspense ..... gurgle, gurgle, wham !, I could catch 3 or 4 more times with spinnerbats and lipless crank but those don't gurgle.

Yanks age well, we us dudes in the deep south need all the protection we can get specially when you are white or you'll end up looking as "fresh" as a 3000 year old Egyptian mummy by the time you turn 50. Seldomly I take a look at my face in the mirror, yesterday I did and for crying out loud, I never was good looking but let me tell you ..... that sob I saw is down right fugly ! He had wrinkles everywhere .... not a pretty sight.

What a bunch of nonsense.

Of course it is possible, any decent baitcaster can throw that sucker with the right line and the right rod.

Bare hands ?

I can whup butt with one setup and I want it to be real good.

Hell, yeah, the world is full of them crazy people.

I want one, not kidding !

Hmmm, more finesse, interesting, I fish T-rigged worms with as light as 1/16 oz bullet weights ....

Shimano, why, cuz it's Shimano dude !

Man, that danged BaitMonkey is a sneaky lil sob, he'll always get you.

It's called GYCB Senko, 4" to be more specific, watermelon red flake. I got swimbaits, several of them, soft and hard, haven't had any luck catching biguns with them, jis and worms are a different history.

My thoughts exactly.

I had a Kunnan rod, 5'6" MH with Fuji reel seat which I purchased after I broke my Silstar rod. It's the only rod I ever sold, a friend of mine liked it very much and repeteadly asked me to sell him the rod.
