  1. I have large sized hands. My TDZ is engulfed in my hand. The tatula, not so much but it doesn't bother me. Really isn't a factor in why I choose a reel.
  2. Got my tatula hd and onyx pfd in mail. Also went to DSG and got some keitech impacts, missile dstroyers, rage craw chunks and columbia PFG long sleeve
  3. 3/4oz works for me. Just enough to get through thick pads. Gotta remember they aren't like punching inches of grass.
  4. I have a spool of 12. Haven't used it yet.
  5. Check timestamp on original post
  6. When fishing beds, do yall have a bag of white soft plastics on deck in case they are not taking usual colors? Is the white more for the fisherman so he can see it on the bed, or is it for ticking off the fish?
  7. Funny, just got my jigs in. Falcon craw, black green pumpkin, bullshoal craw are all legit. BGP should be a great color all year long
  8. What colors are available?
  9. I haven't fished it but I will in early april. I'll let ya know what I find out
  10. I won't third that. I've bent those gamas on moderate size bass, they certainly aren't their better trebles. As for hook size...stock with 4, and even those are nearly too big.
  11. Inactive fish eat inactive baits Active fish eat active baits It's your job to determine which it is for the day. I'll just say poppers can and are worked quickly on surface.
  12. They may have different inches per turn if that matters. I'd go with the lews they have really reclaimed their glory
  13. Tatula hd 6.3 and an onyx pfd. That is just about it for the season. Probably do one more order for hooks and soft plastics but I won't need them until after pre spawn.
  14. Love missile products, and this appears to be John's take on a brush hog. Its like a mix between a dbomb and a tomahawk. I'll try it out but there is very little info out about this.
  15. Red leather? C'mon man I think my girlfriend has me watching too much property brothers
  16. At least stingray has good taste in reels, because that furniture would drive a man to drink.
  17. Abu garcia makes a nice little pack with a rod holder.
  18. Shooter tested as low stretch by TT. That and abrasion resistance makes it good for pitching. I may have to revisit copoly though, just doubt it can top shooter for what I use it for.
  19. I've heard similar results (rip beat me too it). There is more to flouro and lines in general than its stretch. But it's still something to consider. Makes me think of using 20 pound copoly for pitching rather than FC. Wonder how sunline reaction and shooter stack up.
  20. They don't have much action When I'm sliding them across ice
  21. Unless it ties the knot for me, I'm not buying
  22. Makes no difference, it's really just a confidence thing for people.
  23. If you plan or ripping them out of submerged grass I'd say braid. Anything else flouro. Sunline makes reaction fc which will stretch more than other fc, which is becoming popular.
  24. Exceptionally long weed guards get trimmed. They do get stiffer the shorter they are so I usually pull out a few strands and then I bend them a bit to spread them out to make the guard about a 1/4 inch wide.
  25. 1. Everyone has practice and high quality sonar 2. The bass weren't relating to cover 3. This convo is off topic I learned that Swindle is great with snot.
