14 it is. I like as light of line I know I can get away with.

As of thus they have changed some plot lines and changed others. The expanded universe was mostly canon before Disney decided to erase it. They also dropped hints here and there that she will in fact be Solo's daughter like in expanded universe. They simply changed the expanded universe story lines that developed in the chronological 25 years between episodes 6 and 7 so people who didn't keep up with expanded universe could understand the movie.

I have an older model Extreme casting rod that I quite enjoy. I use it for Square Bills and Lipless Baits.

Never fished them, but they are highly regarded by @A-Jay I may have to try a few for myself.

Looks like you covered it here May have to pick up a copy myself.

I may just try both. I was just really hopeful for the Beat Shad as Berkley has never failed me before. I've heard so many good things about other Havoc baits I never would have thought that this one would be a dud.

2 votes against Beat Shad. Darn, must be a lousy bait.

What is it that you did not like about the Beat Shad? How would it compare to a normal (non-fat ) Swing Impact?

Nice. I plan on using 15 pound Sniper with a 7'1" MH/Fast for bottom contact. We shall see how it goes.

Is that 10+3 Synonym to Prophecy a fast or extra fast action?

Merry Christmas! I am sitting here looking at the TW 25 days of Christmas sale (got a couple of gift cards to spend ) and am seeing that all Berkley softbaits are heavily discounted. I have been interested in trying the Keitech Swing Impacts, but they are more expensive and I have heard that they are not very durable. While you obviously can not put a price on what catches fish, I do have a budget, and enjoy to get more value for my dollar. I am not asking if one is better than the other, but what I am wondering is what the differences there are between the Berkley Havoc Beat Shad, the Berkley Powerbait Rib Shads, and the Keitech Swing Impact and Impact Fats? Has anyone used both? Any help is appreciated. I would be fishing these primarily on a 1/8 to 5/16 ounce swimbait head with an open hook.

Happy Holidays Boys, including those of ya who already celebrated Hanukah!

I see. Nice catch. Do you do custom color combos? Just curious.

Big Head Wobbler?

Any interest in selling lol???

I've used the search tool and bookmarked every page about bladed jigs and plan to continue doing some reading about bladed jigs now that I have some time off of school. I was wondering what you're personal favorite bladed jigs were? I may be seeing if I can get some from @Bluebasser86 if it snows around here and I can get some extra cash shoveling snow! I just wanted to try a few different types and see which work best for me. Also, what are thoughts on the V&M Lightning Blade, since they are currently on sale?

I'm just curious as to if they're is a whole heck of a lot of difference in the JDM and the USDM reel besides a couple of bearings. I mean, I don't really know about JDM reels, never really had considerable enough budget for them. Is there a big difference?

Well then, if it only takes a few days then I recant. Now on to price, how much more is it?

Wouldn't one say that it "traps heat" rather than necessarily "heating up faster?"

The site looks fresher, and is more user friendly... But people continue to complain about the update?

Both of them are some of my least used techniques, I just do so well on reaction baits I have yet to really reach for either. Here is a good interview with Greg Hackney though on how to pick which one. http://www.bassmaster.com/tips/hackney-jigs-and-texas-rigs

How much will it cost you to get it. Right now you can get a brand new Curado 200i for 119, so it may not be worth all the hassle to get basically a red Curado from Japan.

Would these be the same as the SK Slither Rig? Sorry if that's a stupid question. I don't really fish with that type of bait for quick flips and pitches.
