To expand on my comment. ..I've tried most brands on TW (they just got new ones in I'll try) and they either did not stay in place or ripped when coming through cover. I actually threw vike punch stops away. Eagle claw is OK but you need to put 2 on.
Looking at a 6'9" citrix spinning rod and wanted to know others experience. Im8 and good price and good style. Lots of positive reviews. I'm looking for a finesse spinning rod for shakey (1/8oz+) and drop shot under 7 foot and under 150.
My C. Rod is actually okuma tcs.
I'm just worried that the H would be underpowered because the MH fishes like a medium. I do already have it on Amazon wishlist though. I also really like daiwa products and wanted to try to consolidate my gear to Daiwa.
I'm looking for a sub $100 multitool for fishing with needlenose pliers. Gerber no longer makes the flik fisherman, the hook sharpener and braid cutters would have been nice. Anyone have any suggestions?
My dad just got one and I'm curious what cheapish modifications you can do with her. She is practically stock. I know rod lock is very short and only good for paddles and telescoping push poles. Is it easy to remove middle seat too make it easier to step up/down to back deck?
1. Smack her in the face with a swimjig (not crank or spinnerbait as she will spook)
2. Downsize and put something in front of her but not too close. Weightless trig or shakey head perhaps.
My father just got his first bass boat and it allows me to carry more setups and I'm itching to expand my arsenal.
Currently I have 3 baitcasters
A. 7'3" xfast H 1.5 oz
B. 7' fast MH for up to 1.25 oz
C. 7' modfast M for 5/8 oz.
I'm thinking a spinning rod is up next. I've had some success with shakey on BC and it is effective with WV bass. I was thinking a 6'10" rod with xfast action for 1/8 oz and up as my smallest shakey is 1/8oz. I like the new daiwa s rods but they have either 6'6" or 7' and rated for 1/4oz. I doubt it would overpower the 1/8 oz but I'm not sure.
Also I'm considering another H rod. Daiwa s has a 7'4" H rated for 2 oz (should handle 1.5oz black dog g2 better than my current heavy) and it has a fast action which will help play fish. I've also read where people punch a lot with fast action instead of xfast. Last weekend I was punching and ripped bait out of 4 fish mouth before hook up with xfast rod not sure if it was my technique or the rod. If I go this route my current H would make perfect frog rod.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated. Brand/model recommendation (under $150) is also welcome.
I have the shellcracker g2 and I throw it on a 7'3" heavy xfast with 65 pound braid.
1. I can dive it deeper due to thin line diameter.
2. I can rip it out of weeds easier (boom!)
3. Loosen your drag and really play them to the boat....haven't lost one yet.
4. I roll cast nice and easy. Overhead cast is too wippy and plunks the water too loud!
I have a few xcalibur, but I am a huge spro fan and thinking of swapping. I have already traded my xcal crankbaits for spro johns.
The hooks alone make the aruku more attractive than most lipless
