Clear water doesn't have to be tough. BUT stealth is key. Aluminum boats are loud. Electronics are loud. I'd be quiet and throw small natural colored plastics. Make long cast to structure. So you're not seen or heard

Anyone have experience with the orochii xx rods with removable handle. Are they reliable no slippage etc

Idk if i snagged him or he was trying to eat. Definitely a pb for me

I have a a chronarch 50 e and a 1000xt. The differences stated above are not noticeable at all to me. For the same price I'd go with the 1000xt just because they're more rare. But I wouldn't pay too much extra for one over a 50e

I've got 3 orochii xx love them. Extreme mission type f, perfect pitch and leviathan. The emtf, is my favorite rod. I'll be getting an nrx in the next few weeks to compare it to. My next megabass will be the diablo spec r. It's basically a 7'2 version of the 7'5 emtf. I'd highly recommend them. Very highly.

yessir. Alot of my preferences are trial by error. Go with what you feel comfortable with. And more importantly go with what you have confidence in. There is nothing worse than fishing a bait or setup or rig. That you have no faith in

In the 100 dollar range I've had carbon lights, Veritas , tfo, and Daiwa lexa. The carbon light is my favorite. Of the 100 dollar class I've fished

I have both. Veritas and carbon light. And favor the carbon light especially for bottom contact baits.

Would this rod be a equally to or better choice for a bfs casting rod.than a jdm bfs rod? Like a mastercraft. I'm looking to upgrade for a 1000xt shimano

For carolina rigs I dislike carolina keepers very much and use a swivel. Due to slippage and line twist. I used to use braid but I've pretty much gone f/c. On one set up I use braid for senkos with about a 10 foot f/c leader. Enough leader when I put my hook on the hook keeper and reel up slack the Alberto knot never gets to the spool. I also use the same set up for dropshotting

Bruce from paradise tackle co. Builds the best jigs in my opinion

if you could shoot me a message when that revoew hits the forums I'd very much appreciate it. We're not rod snobs are we? No way. Just particular

wow. Back to the drawing board. Maybe a bfs shimano rod may be the ticket

I'm in the same boat. After selLing a tfo because it was my least favorite rod I owned. I bought another 7 foot medium light for a scorpion 1000xt for very small baits. 1/8 oz jigs panther martens , 4 inch senkos weightless with #2 finesse hooks. On 8 PouND trilene 100% percent. It cast great. But I after the cast it's dead. Just like the last one. I wished I would have just waited on a jdm and got the majorcraft volkey bfs. Don't let sells man fool you into buying a tfo claiming they fish with a garyloomis. Because they don't even come close. Buyers remorse. However it is very fun to fish. Just wish I had a better rod

One time my buddy broke off an "8 pounder at least" we were bank fishing. Bout an hour later I catch a nice 2.5# with a Yello h&h spinner bait in his mouth... "Hey Thomas what we're you using when you broke off that lunker?" Sure enough... 8 pounder my a $$

a little over 22 years ago and I remember it very well.

If I had to pick from my rods. I'd take my orochii xx emtf, orochii xx pitch perfect, falcon cara st amistad, 84 j&w imx , and my imx 843 mbr. My style is jigs and worms. Today I had 2 c rigs a t rig a jig and a weightless fluke/dropshot (same rod). I could make due with those techniques all year and never throw a crankbait or spinner bait. And I do t think I leave fish on the table by not fishing more cranks spinners chatter baits w/e. Most of the time. But that's me. Bass ain't that smart Yall. He's sees a bait and makes a decision .

I could probably get away with 3 or 4 plastics for the rest of my life, fluke. Lizard, brushhog. And a senko. Honorable mentions rattle snakes, and biffle bug and ribbon tail worm. I really believe color is the least important detail when presenting a bait. Green pumpkin works for me

Lightning rod x2

what are some of your favorite baits to throw on that set up

how do you like the reel? What rod did u go wi th

I guess I have a stigma with Chinese made products. Have 3 of these rods. They are my favorites. Beating g loomis and falcon cara st's. But part of me wishes they were made in japan (like I assumed) they are great rods. So I guess I won't worry about it

What would be a good general purpose rod to start out with.if I do go jdm

I've teamed up with a buddy fishing a weightless fluke directly under a zaraspook. Long cast with the spook wait until the spook gets about halfway back to the boat and then try to hit the Zara spook with your super fluke and walk the dog with both back to the boat. I've had some surprisingly great days with this technique
