Where did I ever say I never threw one or that I'm pointing fingers at people and trying to start a flame war? Yall need to take a step back and reassess your own contributions to this thread. A rigs can and do entangle bass. Yes you drew a strike. How often do trebles from a jerk bait get tangled in a bass's tail and you haul him in sideways without a fight? Outside of some dinks, that never happens to me. I still use a rigs and find them interesting...but there are questions surrounding it.

So it doesn't happen?

Anyone ever order one? Would make a great present for my dad. Not sure how useful they are.

I've watched numerous shows, tournaments, and youtube videos of a rigs. A large number of bass brought in are snagged from trying to bust the bait ball. Simply not sporting or ethical.

This, didn't have time to type it out

I don't plan on knocking cans out of the air while on the lake. Doesn't quite translate to softly landing a crankbait over a laydown.

It's not a rumor

1.5

Yup

Not what you might think from title... Does anyone ever buy used reels, fix them up and resell (flip) them?

I'll have my African friend throw some chicken bones tomorrow and I'll get back to yall.

Not neccessary. Sometimes you may want to tone down bright colors though depending on water clarity. A baked firetiger for instance

I have more confidence with rage chunk. The added length doesn't do much for me.

Was she cute?

Has anyone got their hands on these yet? Been out a couple months. Little disappointed in lack of options but it's first quarter of sales. Need a MH and theirs are xfast and I want fast...However my team Daiwa t was xfast and fished like a true fast.

Do they sell stock?

Doesn't help too much. Rattles are better subsurface. Noise has difficulty breaking water surface

Locating fish, punching, jig fishing, crankbaiting have all improved tremendously. Cranking use to be my biggest weakness, now its my strength.

Thanks bud, if I get the time I may check it out.

I have recoils on my ***...no issues and I love them.

Anyone use these? What's the verdict?

My father has a motorguide bulldog 54# and we recently acquired an older bass tracker with a motorguide tracker 37#. In a slight breeze 3rd is required and a stiff breeze 5th my keep you in one spot...1 is basically off. Is there a way to convert the bulldog to the bow mount? It is long enough, I just haven't had opportunity to look at it.

How would the owner not realize his guides were destroyed and murdering his line? Wow

Stick to cheap cranks for shore fishing...much easier to lose them from shore so buy something you arent afraid to throw in a jungle and never get back. Go for something that runs at a medium depth so you can dig up bottom and get in strike zone on a long cast.

Field and Stream opened here. One of the opening days I just got there and was browsing when an employee came up and asked if I needed help...I said No I'm good. Girlfriend was with me and apparently my resting mean face and deep tone spooked him because he looked at her and mouthed sorry and backed away in in a joking manner. Didn't even realize I did anything wrong! Then later I was " considerably nicer" to another employee which prompted my girl to tell me about the previous encounter. I also noticed in their fancy reel wall that the $600 steez was actually a Regular tatula...which I immediately notified staffing and watched them fix it. As for people working the reel display being the most knowledgable...I approached one and asked about the *** reels that had just been released...she had zero clue and I just shrugged it off.
