I would suggest a 2/0 wide gap, light wire hook. Do make sure the drag is set so as its not locked down. A light wire hook,penetrates easier and you dont need to set the hook so hard, which will cause missed bites at times.

Ive used to add weight to hooks on swimbaits. And to crankbaits to get them alittle deeper. All though ive been using lead wire roll on cranks and jerkbaits. Its quicker with split shot and super glue on hooks.

I had really good luck with the Senshi- wish i could find more.

Just like the Humminbird graphs for 99.00 or something. Popped up on facebook

MAXIMA ULTRA GREEN in 15pd for me.

I have 2 of the same rod. I found them to be really nice rods for the money. Mine are 1 pc rods.

Your rod will be just fine. I think it will serve well for all 3.

I have this exact same thing. Its been money well spent

FALCON is really good.

Academy Sports,i believe its H20,blue and grey.

I use them,they start vibrating at the start of retrieve. Alot cheaper than zman. And it vibes better..

Academy has a terminal box. Same size as a 3700,cheaper than bass mafia.

I dont use anything,as most all my skirts are silicone. I do let them hang to dry before storing them if they are wet.

Ive been very happy with using CS coatingsPRO TECH. I only do 10-24 at a time though.

Keepem coming Glenn. Theres always someone gonna complain. Even if you hung them, with a golden rope

Lots of good info !

#7 and # 9 are what i use. They will catch fish just i florida just fine. But do yourself a favor. And grab some Rapala Suspending Shadraps. Clown and shad have been my best producers. Also i switched out the hooks,to the KVD1X2X.

Lead wire or suspend strips we used alot of back in the 80s. Still do at times now.

Mendit is your friend with those kietech.

When i set the hook my thumb automatically goes to the spool, and fish is played

Yes you can use straight braid. I have 20lb on one rod for crank/spinner baits. Keep an eye on your line for digging in itself. Also adjust you drag accordingly. With a properly set drag you wont be bending hooks. Thumb pressure on the spool can be added if need be, until the fish slows down. Theres really no reason any reels drag should be locked down.

Ive been using good 3m electrical tape, for the last 30 yrs,on rods that suffer from this. Never once had an issue, and easy to remove if needed.

Had 2 Lamaglass XP spinning, light still in the cart at TW, today. My cart still showed sale price, so they are on the way.

Done. ?
