Does any know if they discontinued the Perch color in the DT line. The one with yellow sides and orange belly. The one on all the websites that says perch no longer has yellow and only Orange a little around the lip. I swung by DSG and they had the non perch colored perch and it has a NEW sticker on it. I hope they didn't do away with it.
Don't get me wrong I like the line(invizx) when I don't get a bad spool. The fact seaguar, as reported by me and countless others, does not as a company stand behind their product in the realm of manufacturers defects, is what sways everyone to other brands.
Won lunker yesterday cranking with 10# red label. Must've retied 50-60 times. Smfh lol
Question: how much more abrasion resistant is Shooter over Sniper. All treble baits except lipless I throw 10#. If I do bulk I'm not doing a bulk of both with sniper for jerkbaits and shooter for everything else. If it's much more abrasion resistant I may go shooter but if it's minimal I'll stick with sniper
The thread I made is here somewhere but in a nutshell. No one at the time had bulk 10# Invizx for a reasonable price. So I ordered 3 200 yard spools on sale at TW. All 3 spools every 15 inches or so was the littlest almost like a crimp. Not a knick or bump. Just looked like someone pinched it with needle nose pliers. I was thinking maybe I was bumping the edge of that weird lip on the spools the line comes on. Got home after losing some lures and sure enough the remaining line on yes, all 3 spools had the crimps. Utter BS. I was given the runaround on the phone. Emailed never got a response. Finally got ahold of someone a few weeks or so and they said its TWs fault and return it to them.
Any how have the 12# sniper tied on and gonna give it a whirl.
My mom got me the $50 Trokar box loaded with hooks for Christmas '13. I like them a lot but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them in general except maybe the flipping hook. I typically go for Mustad, if they're not available then gamakatsu or owner.
Example I throw senkos wacky rigged with a size 1 hook in a ML rod with 6# Invizx. There's times I get hung up skipping around trees and I can't break the stuff. Crank down, grab spool and pull for dear life and no break. Lol
Wait a min. Is sniper Invizx and shooter abrazx in comparison? That's what I'm getting from reading up on Sunline. What's the deal with defier $34 for 300 yards of a mono?
While a lot of you guys are hot on the FC discussion.
Have any of you guys used both in 6#?
I've been using Invizx and their 6# feels like it's a 10# or more breaking strength... Is Sniper legitimate 6# or under rated as well? Is the durability similar as in it just breaks or does it peel like red label?
Seaguar ticked me off when I had the 3 bad spools of 10# last year. They didn't want to know nothing. Like TW is gonna take back 3 spools worth of line in a ball lol smh
Have been debating on switching it up and testing the waters elsewhere. The 6# comparison should give me a good ball park comparison for the other #s as well.
Skipping a jig on a baitcaster is like doing wheelies on sport bikes. Lol once you do it and get past that initial point of fear, back lashing(crashing) it becomes second nature.
Dobyns without a doubt. Well balanced, sensitive, great build quality, premium cork, and your supporting a family owned business.
I tried a buddies e6x, way too tip heavy, I don't like it. If I were to buy a Loomis it would be a Edge.
supposedly they upgraded them. Idk who makes them but I never have a issue with them. Hell, I have one bait I must've change the hooks on a dozen times or so. Bait is best to hell but it produces. O rings still hold their shape excellent.
This girl was peeling drag pretty good. And the rod was bent to the reel seat lol. The fight was a good couple minutes when she started tiring is when I started getting her closer to the boat and that's when she gave the one last ditch effort to break free. I've caught 100s of fish if not 1,000s on jerkbaits over the years. This is the first time this has happened to me. As I said I use mustads 99% of the time unless it's already got owners or gamakatsus on it.
