    I’m looking forward to the new Cara line.

    I made it through a few clicks and lost interest.

    Baitcasters don’t need an AR switch, just saying.

    I always spool enough backing line to allow 65 yards of main line on top. I would pull off line down to the backing and spool on new line.

    Why not spool up with the same 6# you use on the spinning setup? I use 8 lb nylon mono and flouro often without issue. I have used 6 on a baitcaster as well and don’t remember any problems.

    I prefer sniper over tatsu regardless of price. Tatsu is very manageable but was not as durable as sniper.

    In the falcon rod lineup I would use a heavy rod. Medium heavy in the falcon line really isn’t the rod for plastics. 6’10” or 7’ heavy falcons are what I use. The 6’10” and 7’ med heavy are a topwater rod in my opinion.

    My hookup ratio is very good with round bend and very poor with ewg. I’m sure others have just the opposite results but for my style it is 99% round bend offset and I do very well with them.

    3/0 or 4/0 round bend almost exclusively. I just can’t seem to get good hooksets with ewg hooks.

    At least 4

    ewg hooks suck. Regular round bends hook up almost 100% for me. Maybe 95 maybe it’s my hookset style but ewg just don’t work for me.

    I think 5 setups would cover 95% of bass fishing.

    Didn’t you give fluorocarbon a try this year? Have to given up already?
  15. jbrew73
    I just throw it out and wait. I reel it in after 30 min or so to check the bait and might throw it in another location if the bait wasn’t taken.

    I don’t bother to weigh a bass unless it appears to be 5lb or bigger. So I’m going with 5lb.

    Cavitron has many fans but I was not pleased with them. Keep your rod tip up and reel as slow as you can and it will help with your problem. I just got a Rowdy buzzbait and feel like it runs slower and more true than my Cavitrons.

    Nothing truly finesse is needed for a weightless senko.
  19. jbrew73
    You shouldn’t have kept it in first place so releasing it into the wild to die shouldn’t be an issue either.

    Slack line Braid is not a good conductor of transmitting what’s happening under water. Give fluorocarbon a shot and it should help with bite detection.

    And to also clarify another area of confusion. Reels are measured in gear ratio not “speed”. 6 speed or 7 speed would indicate the amount of gear ratios within a device. Like a 3 speed transmission in a truck or a 10 speed bicycle. 6:1 or 7:1 is how reel gear ratios should be expressed.

    Buy from a reputable tackle retailer or risk it.
