    All right guys, I tried looking for this but can't quite find what I'm looking for. So I've been throwing the spro rat lately 40 size and I'm loving it, and I'm looking into getting a new rod that I can use the rat 40 but also use it as a multi-purpose rod for spinnerbaits and Spooks things like that. Would a rod that's rated up to 1 oz, more specifically a Dobyns either Colt or possibly Fury 704 ( heavy)or *** *** (medium heavy)be good for it? The one ounce spro rat would be the heaviest thing I intend to be throwing on this specific rod, but it will see a lot of water on that rod. Anybody throw the 40 on a rod rated up to one oz?

    That's good to hear, I was starting to freak out thinking I got ripped off!

    Just picked up a tatula HD 200hs 7.3 and for some reason i thought the spool tension knob (cast control) is supposed to click when making adjustments, mine doesn't. Does anybody know if it's supposed to?

    I have 1 piece rods and 2piece rods. I do think that 1 piece may be more sensitive, but I do like two piece rods for ease of transportation and storage. I had one 2 piece rod crack right where the two connect, wich was the first one I've ever had crack. I blame it on being a cheap rod, but that hasn't stopped me from buying more 2 piece.

    I appreciate the honesty. I do think that it looks good, but I've heard that it bleeds onto peoples reels and stains cork handles. Any bleeding for you?
  6. BeardedBassGuy
    Yeah that's an idea. How's the visibility on the top of the water?

    Are saltwater lines usually thicker per lb test?
  8. BeardedBassGuy
    This may sound like a silly question, but are saltwater lines made differently than freshwater lines.? She will be using it in freshwater.

    I think that's the direction I'm headingbut not gonna rush iy. Where I'm from we still have probably another month or so of ice. I appreciate all the wisdom, thanks for taking the time for all the responses!

    I was looking at that and it said it's between braid and mono, how do you like it? Do you use a leader

    Is the USA made called something other than superpower? The dorisea is interesting, very cheap too!
  12. BeardedBassGuy
    Haha never would have thought of that. I wouldn't doubt that it would work, only problem I don't have any faded braid lol
  13. BeardedBassGuy
    Yeah if it works out I wouldn't be opposed to putting it on my reel. I just think my wife would enjoy a nice pink line on there. I think it looks good, I like bright colored braid That's what I've heard and what I'm looking for but having trouble finding it. There are out of stock on their site. Where did you buy yours from?

    Hey fellas I'm looking for some braid for my wife's spinning reel. I'm hoping to find some pink or another color that women would enjoy. If not I'll use power pro hi viz yellow that I already have. Any suggestions or thought on spiderwire stealth pink camo? I personally don't like spiderwire on my spinning reels due to the waxy feeling it has, but haven't tried it in 10 or 15 lb test. Also having trouble finding kastking pink braid.
  15. BeardedBassGuy
    Where do you buy to this from? I can't seem to find it. other than on there site but there sold out.
  16. BeardedBassGuy
    Yeah I'm thinking about going with a 6:1 ratio somewhere in that area. There is a possibility (depending how much sleep I get the night before) that I may go insane lol. That's more what I'm thinking. I already have some smaller swimbaits under 2oz that I would like to still use on a new rod rather than having to buy only swimbaits over 2oz.
  17. BeardedBassGuy
    What gear ratio do you guys suggest?
  18. BeardedBassGuy
    That one is a little out of my price range looking to stay around 100-150 range. But thanks for the suggestions.
  19. BeardedBassGuy
    Well that's good to know. If the 795 can handle Huddleston 68 that sounds good to me. I'm not even sure how often I would throw the 8" hudd anyway. Seeing that there's other 8" bait options.
  20. BeardedBassGuy
    Hey thanks, less than other sites. I've never ordered from there, how is it, ever had any problems?
  21. BeardedBassGuy
    It can handle the s waver 200 good? Never fished one but they do look nice
  22. BeardedBassGuy
    Do you think most people would suggest starting with a lighter rod and smaller baits and then moving up to a heavier rod and baits
  23. BeardedBassGuy
    How does the okuma handle lighter baits around 2oz size like Huddleston 68?
  24. BeardedBassGuy
    I switched to yellow power pro last year and love it. As others have said you can see the bite before you feel it. I use 15lb braid with a 10 lb floro leader around 6 feet or so. Highly recommended.
  25. BeardedBassGuy
    Also another consideration is the okuma guide select a series x heavy 2-10. But I believe the dobyns have a lifetime warranty that sounds great, and the okuma is a one year. My gut is telling me either the 806 or the okuma x heavy. But still unsure
