I knew most weren't manufactured here, i just trust them because they stand behind them and more or less guarantee the Abec rating. I would rather spend money knowing what it is being spent on. Good right up though.

Thanks bud, appreciate the heads up.

Hey all, I did a search and found some generic topics on upgrading bearings but nothing about the different brands and if there is a difference from brand to brand differences or comparisons. I was thinking about putting some Hedgehog BFS Air bearings in one of my Zonda reels for lightweight applications but was told that the hawgtech bearings are really great too. So it got me wondering what is the best option and if there is really a difference in the name brand/ well known manufactures that stand behind their Abec ratings. So for those of you who have upgraded and experimented with different brands of bearings chime in. What did you prefer?

sweet thanks guys.

I am looking for baits that for more of a roll than a tight wiggle. I have a few Arashi crank baits now and they do good for a tighter wiggle but does anyone know if the action of the Spro series has a "roll" type of presentation?

yep, lots of great wake baits out there, The Shellcracker G2 that Bass_Fanatic mentioned is another great bait.

I use morning wood rats, spro rats, slammes etc. (lots of wakers 5 to 9 inches) and catch fish in Mid Missouri on them all the time. Dont hesitate.

To each his own, that's why it's a forum. But I take most of tackle tours tests with a grain of salt because like we are doing here they are giving their opinion.

Easy to adjust speed depending on your crank, some true st Hugh speeds some lay over. AM knows every baits he uses like the back of his hand, I'm sure he likes the high speed because he knows the lure and can adjust the speed of retrieve easily based on each lure with a high speed reel.

I'd stick with RW on this, or find a mono for those trebles, gunna want some give to keep those fish buttoned up.

Palomar and SD jam is what I use one everything. Make sure the line is lubed and you are properly tying that palomar. Don't cross the line when tying keep everything side by side. If you don't it gives the line somewhere to dig into itself causing a weak point.

Did a search and dint find anything. Was thinking of getting some but wanted input from people who use it. What's it like? I plan to use the 6lb with finesse jigs 1/8 or less on one of my Zondas. Anyone?

Does anyone know why one chip is 179.00and the other 199.00, the specs seem the same to me? Anyone using garmin I would appreciate some insight.

I always used 100mph until last year when huk introduced their line up. I fished all season in the huk gear and it is fantastic. Not a drop of water got inside. The only downfall for me is the fact that I'm 6'7" and have longarms, they fit everywhere but I could use another half inch in the arms. For most this won't be a problem and really wasn't a problem I just would have liked them a tad longer there. They break the wind great and hold heat very well. The 100mph is a tad thicker and would be warmer in freezing temps, but they do good, but the stitching is crap. The huk gear is built well and has no stitching issues yet. I'd go Huk they are lightweight, warm , well built and keep you dry. That's my .02

Twain is full of ditches and creek channels around the standing timber too, I have lots of limits on black and gold flek brush hogs t rigged with a half ounce tungsten pegged in thesearch subtle bottoman changes. Better late than never.

I am agreeing with this for his original post. But with the clear water added I would tie on that FC leader.

Come spring they will find their way back to the areas they like and live in, as of now they are freaking out like everyone else I would Imagine. I would not be near a river this week. MISSOURI IS CLOSED. Ha but in all seriousness i don't think you could see a boat ramp by a river right now if you tried.

Lol, BPS never has a good fishing sale

Does anyone know the weight of the rods. I'm assuming the dx line is a tad heavier

I do not have them but I do know that you will have to go to a local dealer to handle that. They do not do it online.you can get online and put your zip code in and they will show you the closest dealer.

So I ran over my Costas and they are going to replace them for the price of the lenses. I have always used 580G green lenses here in Missouri and fish Dingy to Muddy water in the central state area and when I fish in the south portion of the state the water is clear. The rep at Costa informed me that the green were for streams, flats and Rivers and their Silver lens is for sight fishing. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on if I should switch or opinions on the silver glass lenses?

thank you sir.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

I would do what WW2 stated. Seafoam has great water reduction properties.

Hey guys, I have a question for you. So there must have been a bit of moisture under my cover or in the shed I stored my boat over the winter because my pretty clear blue water leds I installed before I stored it turned white. The plastic is now cloudy white, and it looks like the cludiness runs pretty deep. They still work, bit they look very bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing them?
