Lol, Ben indeed. Ben talkin bs about the effectiveness of his product. Seriously, though, something like that for splices would be awesome. If it was way smaller and thinner and worked on braid... If it was a completely different product

bet that kills the action of your bait... http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/gear/post/never-tie-knots-again

No way, man. Not in OK, anyway. Fishing is always more difficult after heavy rain, but here it's drying out and I've been slayin' 'em. The bite is on between 8-2, after that it gets too hot and they take afternoon naps. The other thing is that they fight harder right now. More heat, more forage, and more energy equates to pounders pitting up epic fights. Just gotta match the hatch. Sounds like you should be fishing chartreuse rattling squarebills right now.

the width of all tatulas is the same as the zillion because it's practically the same frame.

maybe it does have some zillion parts... The t wing guide looks zillion, and the cast control knob looks clicky. Hmmm....

I'm sure it's no different from a regular tatula aside from the longer handle, handle nut, and paint job. The only thing a zillion really has over a tatula is a beefier t wing trip lever and a floating spool, anyway.

yeah, it sounds like a hybrid of a type r and hd with a sleek stealth paint job. I want one.

Well, I have a Tatula 7'7" M glass that is awesome for anything with a treble hook up to about an ounce, (it's rated 1/4-3/4 oz) but the lightest deep crank I've seen is a 1.25 oz realis that supposedly reaches 20' and most are 2 oz or more. I guess a good deep cranking rod could possibly be found in a Swimbait or umbrella rig rod...

awesome, because I did not wanna throw down cash for a deep cranking rod.

I've found that the free swinging hook is great for swim baits and a light 1/8th oz sinker makes for a perfect keel. I'll bust this out if I'm getting light or no bites on a swim jig. Jika rigs are just awesome for about any soft plastic, especially when you are in a situation where you feel like you need to peg the sinker on a Texas rig. It's not a T-rig replacement, but a great addition to your arsenal.
