10lb Sufix 832

In for more results…

Couple weeks ago I fished a similar situation in a different state. It was one of the rare occasions I fished off a boat and also that type of cover. Some trees/branches were clearly visible and some were submerged. I ran a spinnerbait and swimjig on the outsides with no luck. Finally caught one using a jig. My friend who fishes there often used a Texas rigged creature bait with 1/4 oz weight pegged. He was dragging it all over the place and was able to catch a few. He also got hung up a lot. As a bank guy, it was a learning experience for me for sure.

I have the VMC pliers and love it. Got it on sale for $10. The VMC saddles have holes in them for either wacky or neko rigging. There are 2 compartments to store the saddles too. I think it all depends what type of wacky saddles/rings you are going with.

I recently got an Alphas SV (Thanks to the recommendation by @Bass_Fishing_Socal) and mine absolutely bombs Keitechs on 3/16 and 1/4oz Guppy heads. I have it paired with a ALX Zolo Dream which is a 7’ M/F. I also have couple Tatula SVs and they are very different casting wise to me.

I recently got two Zillion SV Gs myself. I loosened the knobs on both reels and I could tell that both were set differently from the factory.

When I fished at night, Watermelon senkos would constantly produce and green pumpkin never did. I let different friends that never fished before use the watermelon and I would use the green pumpkin. They would catch and I wouldn’t. Different nights and different spots. Only other color that was as effective at the watermelon at night was junebug.

Used to tie Alberto’s but now I do the FG with Rizzuto finish. 2 things that make tying FG easier - keep constant tension - hold the knot the entire time while going over/under.

Year round for me too.

I just ordered and received 300 yards of Sufix 30lb braid. Going through my stuff, I find an unopened box of 300 yds of Sufix 30lb braid. Not the first time I ordered something I didn’t know I already had and I’m sure won’t be my last.

I’ve heard this elsewhere before and in your opinion, what about the single flapper vs two makes it more effective? Planning on using swimjigs more this year and been debating about the whole vertical vs horizontal menace thing.

Just wasn’t impressed and felt it wasn’t worth the price. I guess my expectations were too high. The 2017 SVs at $150 and the Tatula 100 at $113 were way better value to me. If you offered me the Elite and the SV at the same price, I would still go with the SV. Just my preference.

I’m a Tatula guy but didn’t care for the Elites. Had 3 and sold them and bought more 100’s and 150’s. My favorite are the SV’s.

Baits with orange belly’s and also 2 tones.

I already have a few of these. Haven’t tested them out yet. Only some colors/sizes are currently available. They look like they have potential. I’m a big sleeper guy myself and have been waiting for these since they were announced. I’ll be waiting for the Bluegill sleepers too.

Looking for a new or used ALX Zolo Toadface. Let me know. Thanks!

I like Cool baits. Also have Flashy Swimmers.

I use the same Accu Cull scale as @A-Jay and @jbsoonerfan and it’s awesome. Wish I found out about it long time ago! Highly recommend it.

My BPS has them available on a consistent basis but the weird thing is they only have 1 color in at a time. First it was Goby, then smoke then green pumpkin.

Academy has buy 1 get the second 1/2 off on all Magellan shirts. Includes various SPF 30/50 long sleeved fishing shirts. Ends Sunday
