Well, finally had the opportunity of fishing with one, a buddy purchased it recently and while he let me play a couple of hours with it I allowed him to play with my Alphas Itö . I liked the profile of the reel and the way it sits very low on the reel seat, even though heavy it 's quite comfortable and easy to palm, casts well the regular 1/4-3/4 oz baits but not the best small bait caster, not silky smooth but smooth enough, feels well built but not "refined", good powerful drag; good reel for the price and a quantum leap from those lousy EONs & Törnos, now the only question remaining is how durable it 's going to be.

When was the last time you oiled the spool bearings ?

BTW Matt, I lent my friends "Tapa" & "Zorro" a couple of my Matt 's BB for his trip last weekend and they anhilated them Zimapan big mommas, 1 8 pounder, 3 six pounders and several fish in the sub 5 class, not bad huh ?

We don 't care if you make money Matt , you deserve to make money after all the love you put in them. Now, when are you gonna pour me ones with a weedguard ? so I can fish them with confidence in that lake full of flooded timber and biguns.

I would go Japanese for a slow sinker in a "decent" size: Jackall 180 Jointed Pencil: Jackall Dekahamakaru ( not exactly a swimbait but a large jointed minnow ): Jackall Godon: Gan Craft Jointed Claw: All of those are good, cost between 20-30 bones and don 't weight a ton ( 1 1/2 oz) so you can fish them with a H power flipping stick, I catch a lot of medium sized fish with them ( 2-3 lbers ).

Rules come first.

Unethical, C&R only. You can 't choose which rules to obey or not.

Glad to serve.

There isn 't much to think about, the rules are crystal clear.

The marks are different. Look at the vertical stripes, between the wide stripes there 's a thin stripe in smalljaw, in the meanmouth that verical stripe is much wider almost like the wide ones. Look at the spots on the smalljaw 's back, it looks like a donut ( with a hole in the center ) in the meanmouth the spots don 't have that "hole".

Use The Force Luke !

I hear the BaitMonkey calling. :

Single nickle Colorado chartreuse & white 3/8 oz spinnerbait.

There are baits and colors that are not available to certain countries or continents T-rig with Storm & Rapala. For ex, the Rapala DT is not available in the States in Gold Fluorescent Orange, but it is available in Mexico. I haven 't seen that bait available here either.

When fishing extremely steep slopes or vertical cliffs you cast paralel to the face of the cliff, this doesn 't mean in any way that topwaters or jerkbaits, shallow running cranks do not work, on the contrary they are very productive ..... if you fish them right. Why does it gets hard to fish cliffs ? Because you are fishing them like you fish in lakes that do not have such degree of slope, while in lakes with not a lot of slope you cover terrain with the bait in lakes that look like the one in the pic you have to cover DEPTH, that 's the main difference TERRAIN vs DEPTH. First of all, slice the cliff by layers strating from the top and progressively increase the depth with yur baits until you find the depth at which the fish are holding, remember the fish are HANGING from the cliff and they are not going to chase your bait too far, that 's why you have to fish paralel to the cliff. Position your boat not too far from the cliff, you are not looking for depth, you are not looking for structure, depth is right below your feet and structure is right in front of you. When fishing cliffs with soft plastic baits remember that you are NOT COVERING THE BOTTOM, you are covering depth, the bottom may be in many cases hundreds of feet deep, a common mistake is pulling your bait to much with the rod tip, you pull a couple of inches and your bait sinks into oblivion. Small twitches to maintain the contact with the cliff surface are a must and eye contact with the line at all times is mandatory, fish in most cases hit the bait as it sinks, if you are not watching your line you will loose those fish. Dropshotting is taylor made for fishing cliffs too. Tubes, wacky rigged worms, weightless T-rigged worms are great baits for fishing the cliffs, if you feel that a worm doesn 't sink fast enough you can add a split shot on top of the hook eye. Be aware that what you are looking above the water level is the same of what 's under the water level, fish are hanging from the cliff so any slight imperfection on the composition and contour of the cliff will attract the fish, in another lake it would attract nothing. Look carefully, in places like that landslides are common and where there 's a landslide there 's a rupture in the continuity of the composition, that will attract the fish.

Got several, good baits with lots of sound.

ABT 's and Strike King 's are the same bait, ABT manufactures them for Strike King, the only difference is the color palette, each company has it 's own. You can find Strike Kings at BPS, *** carries ABTs.

If you can 't find anything about a specific object, for ex: P-line CX with the search engine it 's because nothing has been written about it. if you insert P-line CX in the search engine box and there 's nothing about it the search engine will first show you any thread where P-line was mentioned, then it will gather all the posts with the second in order line, then it will continue with the following CX and so on. P-line CX brought 8 results plus your own = 9 None of the 8 results showed any specifics about P-line CX.
