i've never broken a team all star im 10 rod and i've landed plenty of 5 lbers with them.they are great rods.

use 10 pound at least.6 pound is for open water fishing.

i'd go with the johnny morris.the reels are nice and the rods are awesome.it comes with fuji titanium framed sic guides and the avid doesn't.it also has the best reel seat in the business.if you ever break it you bring it to a bass pro store and they give you a new one even if the 1 year warranty is over.

try the kvd line spray also.BELIEVE ME IT WORKS!!!

i use seguar invizx 10 lb and spray it with kvd's line and lure spray.it makes a difference!!!also close your bail by hand after pulling any loops out.

they are not magnets they are centrifugal weights.if using braid i use 4.if using flouro i use 6.i use no spool tension and use my thumb instead.pfluegers require more weights on than a shimano because they come off sooner than a shimano.

i would say 14 lb cajun red cast or if you want flouro i would say 15 lb seguar invizx.

ihave the narrow spool version.it's a great reel.i used to be a shimano man.now i use pflueger.

any rod can snap.send it back.you'll get a new one.

rattlin rapala 1/2 oz in shad pattern folled by a bass pattern.

sunline has more than one flouro.some companies have green flouro and clear flouro.if it's invisible why are we making it green?i've also seen cabela's has a pink flouro.

i am also using flouro but let's get some things straight.it has as much or more stretch than mono.tests have proven it.it is not invisible in all circumstances.it is less visisble than most mono.it is not stronger than a good mono and once stretched to it's max it does not recover where as mono does.tests have proven this also.it is abrasion resistant and much more sensitve than mono due to increased density which is why it sinks. I was just stating my opinion based on use of both types. I would really like to know what mono this is you're comparing to fluorocarbon and what # it was, cause I've never seen these characteristics myself. Mono from my experience is more prone to breaks, stretch stress (although every time I've seen mono stretched to it's 'max' it was followed by a snap), and memory problems. I use P-Line Halo fluoro exclusively, I have not seen any stretch problems, and it seems pretty darn invisible. I'm basing this off of use, nothing more. I don't mean to argue, I'm really just curious what mono and fluoro these tests were done with. Maybe I had been using some really crappy mono. > go to tackle tour.com and check out there tests.there are also other tests if you google search.i still prefer the flouro because it's more sensative than mono but it does have it's drawbacks and weaknesses.

dick's sporting goods has it also.

buy bill m's tool.it's made of brass and won't corrode. http://www.wackytool.com/

Revolutionized it for dinkmasters. There are many many out there who do nothing but dunk soft stickbaits all day long. i have caught many 5 lbers on senkos.hey dudes,if you want to cut your senko cost down then wacky rig them with bill m's wacky rig tool.the bait slides up your line on the hookset and you get 5-10 fish per bait. http://www.wackytool.com/

12 and 14 of the same line will have the same density and will fall at the same rate.diameter only affects cranking due to line drag in the water.so a thinner line will have less drag and go deeper.

i had the same results going from mono to braid last year.this year i am using seaguar invizx to see if i catch more fish.so far so good.

buy a pflueger medalist at $79 or a pflueger supreme at $99.you'll be amazed at the quality you get.they are comparable to reels costing 3 times as much.

i've caught plenty of 5's and heavy 4's on senkos.so much for being a small fish lure.

imho,best mono = cajun red cast imho,best flouro = seguar invizx imho,best braid = sufix they all have advantages and weaknesses.

I DON'T LIKE GRAPHITE FRAMED REELS.THE PRESIDENT SPINNING REEL IS GRAPHITE.TO MUCH STEM FLEX.

thanks.most forums limit to 5 pics.

like seguar invizx. ;D
