My old man. We butted heads alot growing up. Fishing and pheasant hunting were about the only things we agreed and got along doing. After I finally grew up, he got me onto law enforcement so we had another common. Dad became and will always be my best friend ever and most trusted partner in crime. Since he passed 2 months ago it just seems fitting to pass it all on to my son.

I spray the main spool when it get. I mean very liberally. It may drip off but I soak it big time. When I spool up, I run about 20 feet of line and spray 2-3 squirts on the spool. I do this until I'm done. I spray each reel down the night before I hit the water and afterwards when I get home. Seems to be working pretty good so far.

I haven't used mine yet. I bought them cause the deal was too good to be true. They are smooth though. I would like to upgrade the bearings to the boca but it's gonna run like 80 bucks a reel.

What were you using to pick the backlash out? I hated red label. Had way to much memory for me. I have some invizix I'm trying out. I am about ready to just say screw it and stick with braid and a fluoro leader. Hopefully the invizix will fair better

You could always buy it and write up a review on it. Save me from having to do it as I have been wondering the same thing. Lol For what it worth, I bought 300 yards of 12# P-line fluoro clear to give a run. It's gotten fairly decent reviews too. Not used near as much as the yo-zuri on this board though.

I got my Pro max sold but can't get a bite on the Silver and Black x2. The Pro was the only one I didn't want to sell lol. O well if they dont sell they can always become back ups or finesse rigs

Also remember charges are not convictions.

I'm not your dad, but someone with more than one arrest or incident of theft can't be trusted in my opinion. Once is a fluke, oops I was being a stupid sumbitc* but twice shows intent and a pattern. Cut your losses now and don't risk anything else. If you confront him and things go south, your post here and the fact that have not alerted the authorities of this shows premeditation on your part if things really go south. Not worth sitting in jail for beating him down or as Dale.m put it, slapping him with a 10" worm.

I had to move up to a Heavy for my 1/2oz jigs. The MH was just about right but I wanted something more stout to through 1oz if I needed to.

I'm selling off my Max series reels to make way for the new S and pair it with a Veritas 7'3" MH. Will be my dedicated Texas Rig!

I try and order all my jigs with them. The ones that don't come with them, I add them to. I have some really dirty waters here in Central Oklahoma so anything I can do to give me that edge I do.

Colors look great. The menance would look good on a NS jig

They are closing out of certain colors. They drop the price big time to make room. On the bomber cranks, they said Bomber discontinued the color.

Everyone will have a different opinion but for me I use a total of 6: Top water rig Pitching rig Texas rig for heavier weights Cranking rig Light jig light Texas rig Spinnging rod for light weight plastics or drop shot. It may be overkill but works well for me

I went back again today. Found zoom worms like the Rage anaconda's in 10 packs for 48 cents. Found the "bait" brand senkos in about 10 different colors for 48 cents a pack too. Also found about 12 packs of green pumpkin with gold and black flake 3.5" Stike King tubes for 12 cents a 6 pack. These are the coffee sent and heavy salt. By god if your into fly fishing, there is flys line etc dirt cheap there too.

Thanks for the review. One thing I really like about this place is the reviews.

If your looking for mono with the hodini power of fluoro give the co-ploymers a try. The Yozri gets rave reviews here. No one stocks it locally, even my Bass Pro, so I haven't gotten a chance to use it. I did buy some P-line fluoroclear in 12# to test as a buddy wants a review on it.

I loose to much braid when I use the palomar knot. I really really like the improved clinch knot for braid. After I tie and before I cut the tag line, I wrap the line around my hand 3-4 times and pull like a sumbuck. It will cinch down some. I cut the tag with a 1/4" left and have no problems. I got hung up a few times on a lake yesterday pitching into some ugly nasty cover. Each time i straightened the hook and was able to save my jigs. I did retie each time cause common sense told me to, but the tag was still 1/4" long.

I found a seller on eBay that has the Veritas series for 79.99 with free shipping. He ships them in a huge PVC pipe. One of the ones I bought was the 7' medium with micro guides. I couldn't have been happier. I think it's the best and most true medium I have ever had. I loved it so much I have bought 3 more from him. They also provide a true receipt if you wanted warranty work or the free hoodie. To answer your question, I use my medium for mainly top water. Poppers, small jerk baits. Until I can afford another medium setup, I also use it for up to 5" swim baits with 1/8 hooks, larger senkos, larger jitterbugs. I was using it for smaller jigs and Texas rigs but it just seemed to much for the tip. I moved up to a 7' MH fast tip and am very happy.

Agree 100% with the above. Only problem I ran into with spooling line was either using too much or too little. There should be 1/16-1/8" of spool left after you spool up. Too much and the line can come off to fast. Too little and it affects distance.

What application will the line be used for? If you do a search there is a ton or recommendations for fluorocarbon lines. Bass Pro XPS and Seaguar Abrazix and Invizx are my favorites. No matter what you get it will have memory so make sure to use some line conditioner on it.

Thanks guys. I have the STX now and 7'11" Heavy rod coming so I will make that my pitching and jig rod and wait for the S to come out.

I have a Revo STX in 7.1:1 and am thinking about pre ordering one of the new Revo S models. Which reel would make a better top water/light swim bait/weightless plastics reel? And which would make a better Jig/Texas rig reel? I have rods for both all ready but just wondering which would make the better reel for the tech. Thanks in advance

I just spooled a new reel with 30# 832 last light. Fished it this morning along side 2 different set ups using #50. Kinda windy this morning. My 30# didn't catch near as much wind as my 50# did. I love the smaller pound.
