  1. I agree with you 100 percent. I can't reel a baitcaster lefty. I'm right handed.switching hands happens fast. I don't think I ever miss bites from it. Do what feels right.
  2. I fish Ned rigs on a baitcaster with 8lb test and 1/5 oz jigheads with a trd with no problem.
  3. Wacky rig senko this time of year. They could also be looking to make beds like previous poster said.
  4. I use a Palomar knot and wet it with spit. I'm very meticulous tying knots. This was a big tree on 14 lb test. I just pulled steady because I'm not into breaking rods. My falcon had a serious bend pulling it in. I was fishing from shore so I couldn't float over and get it.
  5. I pulled in a tree with advance and never oassedany elastic threshold or line getting weaker. I have had flourocarbon do that.
  6. Where did you hear this. According to their website the buccoo is made in USA.
  7. where did you hear this ? Falcon rods are still made in USA.
  8. Buy a Falcon buccoo or a. Bass pro shops Johnny Morris signature series.In my opinion Toray blanks suck. I've snapped a bunch of them.for 150$ I'd go bass pro.
  9. At Bass pro shops the difference between 10 lb siege and advance in 330 yd spools is $2.50. imho advance overall is superior to flourocarbon. Far better handling and casting.i also think it has less stretch by far and is more sensitive.
  10. $2 is to much ? Siege is great line. I would say this line is more abrasion resistant and far more sensitive due to less stretch.For $2 I'd try it.
  11. Used it last night.pulled in a huge floating section of a tree. Line definitely has far less stretch than mono or flouro. Is also very sensitive and abrasion resistant. I agree it casts better as you use it. It's a great line.
  12. Nice fat one.usually 20 inches is 4 lb range. Can't tell from the picture.
  13. i dont use leaders because i dont believe in extra knots. i would use 6 or 8 straight flourocarbon.
  14. thats an awesome smalley
  15. johnny morris patriot series JPA72HTXF winn grips fuji sic guides awesome blank great price
  16. works great on baitcast.cant vouch for spinning as i dont use spinning.really casts far and surface is really smooth.extremely sensitive for a mono line due to lower stretch.
  17. Braid if you want no stretch or sufix advance mono if you want low stretch and low vis.
  18. I don't know about Lew's service because I've never used them. But in the 5 years it's been since I switched I've never had a problem. I will never go back to Another brand if Lew's keeps it up.
  19. Lew's speed spool LFS. Amazing reel for $99.
  20. All baitcast for me. I use 8 lb test on a medium action rod and cast 1/5 oz ned rig with it.
  21. yup it pretty much destroys it if its a bad one.
