Dont get me wrong, its a great rod and the build quality is really good. My only complaint is sensitivity but that can be fixed by using braid. Id still prefer it over the abu
Lightning shocks are the ultimate budget rods. I fish them next to my lews, shimanos and croixs and they catch just as many fish. Got them for $9 at walmart too lol
I do it all the time. Of course with plastic, hook and sinker the weight it probably closer to 1/2 or 5/8.
I use heavy duty hooks for everything. I tend to exagerate my hooksets
Thats a tough one. Seems like you have the right reel/rod. I think your problem could be-
1. The lure is too light
2. The braid is to thick for your setup
3. Reel need a cleaning
Or 4. Your combo might just be maxed out
