    I have a 7'3 2 power blank that is a mhx him I plan for using for exposed hook small tubes weightless 4" cane thumper worms and dropshots. Might be worth a look.

    Or a project for those suffering yet another blizzard. Guess I am getting old defaulting to projects not just buying. At the current rate I am going threw rods looking for the best frog rod it may be the cheaper option!

    I would figure head shape in combination with blade size would change depth a lot

    If were talking smaller is better the alphas or core would fit in small hands well and if there not into it you still have a great reel.

    Luck-e-strike DUO and lc pointers. If that does not get it done I go with a different bait

    I am trying some DOA swimbaits. There cheap and look great. In s pinch I always reach for keitech but there spendy and not very durable.

    This is an area that a custom might be the best. You will get the power and action you need.

    I try and limit my choices so I can buy larger spools for savings. Spinning reels get 20 baitcasters 40 or 65. These should do dam near anything

    Kvd bluegill squarebill or watermelon tube

    How do you bend them and what does it do? Is there a mod to make them work while reeling slower

    Are there different blade shapes for chatter baits. The prepackaged ones all look the same. Just studying up on spinnerbaits and wondered if there was any variation in chayterbaits other than color.

    Daiwa advantage htsa or l. This is the baitcaster I learned on and I still use it for frogs.

    Split rings are cheap and or just use a good clip. I like the owner clips but any will work.
  15. Angry John
    I am trying some four and a halfs. Should be just right.

    Zoom super hawg gets it done for me. Has all the appeal of a brush hawg but does not hang up. Middle section is wider and holds a heavy hook well. I use a 4/0 or 5/0 heavy straight shank

    Two rods to chech out are the dobyns 764rm and the x series from phenix.

    Locker and bass rules are what I think. The fatigue aspect is something to consider. Lake fishing might be OK but I would pass on over 7 for smaller rivers.

    The amperage to charge larger batteries is higher. If there is any draw while charging it will take even longer. The correct size charger is the best answer

    I think some rods have multi tapers. Just stabbing at it but I believe the magbass rods from Loomis are the reason this is discussed. St Croix is more of a single taper. Maybe someone with more building and testing experience can clarify.

    I have noticed a reduction in casting distance in the cold so it does matter. I use the alphas platform about 80% of the time and have at least one on every trip. Took me a little while to figure it out. You can loosen the tension knob and make up most of the distance and still not birds nest.

    I used Polly on the rod I built. Easy to work and cheap. No worry of failure or rot.
  23. Angry John
    Tip is not a separate taper but something you have to figure out. The tip on a shakey head rod will be lighter than a football rod due to lure weight.
  24. Angry John
    Tie a knot in the middle of a length to test for strength

    17lb Berkeley xl is what I am using
