  1. I have a pair of polarized oakley offshoots that are fantastic but $200. The frame is large and blocks out peripheral light so on a sunny day you feel like your eyes are in a cave. Be warned, these are for large noggins and they just barely fit my oversized melon. I had a pair of bottle rockets that blocked little light and would cause headaches from being so tight. The offshoots let me fish in comfort and style all day.
  2. The thing with fishing logs is that you gotta bounce a crankbait into it and if that doesn't work drag a jig alongside it.
  3. Got optimum kahara split ring pliers, lil john dd, duo realis jerkbait and sunglass retainers. Just about set for tournaments
  4. I was at a pond last year where they weren't hitting normal frogs. Switched to king daddy and even dinks were trying to choke it
  5. I prefer the hissy fit
  6. Weigh them
  7. Yeah they welcomed me with open arms. Very excited
  8. Dry and wet gave the same results
  9. I punch cattails from bank and catch bass in them in a foot of water. Just be stealthy walking up!
  10. Yeah I cleaned it. It was bad but now it's smoother and quieter. Not sure how that would affect free spool though.
  11. It casted well before the upgrade, but haven't had it out since. I know free spool isn't the final answer but if there is something wrong I need to fix it before I'm on the water. Maybe I'll do some yard fishing with it later. And I did remove the seals. Saw a td ito freespool for more than 15 seconds with boca abec7 on youtube.
  12. I replaced bearings with boca orange seals in my used 103h. I noticed that freespool is 7 to 8 seconds. Didn't think to test beforehand but it seems like it shoulder be longer. What are yall experiences? Is mine abnormal?
  13. My 7'7" tatula should be here today. Just need to order another reel, pliers, soft plastics, jigs, sunglass retainer, rod sock, couple crankbaits, umbrella rig, buzzbait, 20 lb line, and on and on and on. It's getting out of hand
  14. I considered one before going with okuma tcs. Let me know what it's like
  15. What's the largest reel handle yall are comfortable with for bass fishing? I want a tatula hd that has a 100mm handle but I'm considering putting the lexa 400 120mm handle on it for swimbaits and punching and taking the stock handle and putting it on my t3 1016 to take it from 80 to 100mm.
  16. I'm not going by what the website or package says, just his interview with the bait. I never found the newer wiggle warts to hunt much either but the two have very similar profiles.
  17. If you want expensive flouro to sit unused in a tight coil and go to waste go for it. If you ever use the flouro near bottom of your spool then you are killing your inches per turn. Buy cheap braid or mono and put 80 or 90 yards of flouro on top. You can't cast that far and it gives you room for quite a few lure changes. And if you overrun, you don't have to dig through as much line. Also the line will have less memory due to laying in a larger diameter.
  18. He meant, than tecklewerehouse
  19. Just ordered the 771 for cranks. Hope the action is similar to my okuma tcs apc rod.
  20. Mike said they've been in development for a couple of years and that he wasn't going for a wiggle wart action. He wanted something with similar profile that deflects off rocks like a champ
  21. I have a first gen frontier. Going up a steep grade on interstate is difficult with nothing in the truck...add a boat and I'll be limping.
  22. Regular is a moderate action
  23. I've seen the stuff destroy ink in slacks.
  24. I got one. Ice is in though. Has a real subtle knock to it.
