Check out the California tournament trail. It's a pro am setup with a shared weight. Believe the 2016 seasons over though

So this past weekend I took my kayak out to Clear Lake. Pretty much all my fish came on a chatterbait. Here were my observations: - initially had the chatterbait tied to my trebled baits rod: a 3-powered mod-fast graphite rod paired with 6:4 reel with 40lb braid with 12lb mono leader. - hook up ratio with that setup was god awful. - switched the chatterbait to my frog rod, dobyns 735 with 65lb braid and landed almost all - I'm thinking because I was fishing sitting down, and wasn't able to get the leverage of a full hookset that the heavier setup compensated for this.

First time out on Clear Lake

Not the best picture wanted to get her back in the water. d**n you thehooligan for making me pick up the zpi knobs.

I was fishing with a guy who was really good at skipping 1/2 oz football jigs. He said he liked the brakes really loose and the cast control tight.

Thanks! Gonna order a pair

Quick question for you guys with the slim ZPI knobs. Do they come with end caps?

This combo has me playing favorites. Need more steezs in my life.

Lotta nice shimanos on this page! Sweet rods all around too thehooligan how do you like those zpi knobs? I'm debating between those and some black avail wood knobs. Would love something with a similar shape but with EVA foam.

Don't know either! But it feels so right. Thanks man.

Here's another equally blurry pic

In love with this setup.

I've had to deal with their warranty department and the experience was top notch. My KLX snapped a couple guides down on a cast. I contacted Kistler and they told to me to cut the handle off the rod and only send that to them. This cut costs on shipping the rod way down (to about $7) and they sent me a new replacement very quickly. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from them, you'll love the KLX.

My first choice would be a Kistler KLX. 2nd choice would be a Phenix Recon 2.

First year building confidence on topwater, but the topwater bite has been on post spawn.
