Well i went and looked at rods and bought a zodias

Sorry jkoz88 im new here and hoosier my top ends 180

Looking for a VERY sensitive rod for texas rigs in up to 18' of water with 1/8 oz bullet weight debating between a micro magic pro and fenwick aetos but am open to suggestions?

Sorry for the double post

Thanks guys I really apprecitate it.ya i talked to him for quite a while he showed me exactly what he was using. And his biggest tip for me was if im unsure if its weeds or bass put the line basicly tight with little pressure with the rod at about 10-11 and if the tip moves out away from you even ever so slightly reel and smash em weeds dont pull back. So I will try it again saturday and let you guys know how it goes

Ok so Im thinking I'll try braid on this set up what lb test (baitcaster) would you recomend? Also is fireline crystal good? a friend of mine is a huge walleye guy and loves that stuff

So your counting this in your head?

Otsego is not to far from me im from hudsonville my thing is if im dragging it threw the weedsa and all of a sudden it feels stuck how do you know its stuck in a weed or a fishes mouth I think I can win this tournament if this bite holds good for another 2 weeks but I need to figure out if im getting bit and missing it I only had 4 fish and had a 12.8 bag by myself saturday one small fish 2.15

Ok but would you worry about fish seeing it thats my main concern is visibility of the fish seeing it

Got ya thank you any rod recomendations from the ones i asked above?

Sounds good thanks for the welcoming I'll give it a shot I am pretty new to bass been fishing about 4 yrs is there a rod you recomend for this technique? I have 3 to choose from that i own already erither a crucial worm and jig 6'9" a duckett ghost 7'mh or quantum smoke 7'mh ? I need as much help with this as i can I have a tourny there next week saturday

Thanks for the welcoming as far as flouro over braid it seems to me flouro is more sensitive on slack and due to water clarity also with a light weight like that im afraid braid wont have the right fall

Why braid over flouro? What pound test? Its clear up here 5-6' visibility also how do you know if your snagged on weeds or got a bite?

Ok so I was pre fishing a tourny saturday and ran into a local slamming fish, good fish too he told me he was texas rigging a kinky beaver in deep weeds (10-18')and told me the color with an 1/8 oz tungsten weight so all I had was a sweet beaver which is similar in profile but different and less apendages and a 1/4oz tungsten weight I caught a few fish 4 my avg was about 3.25lbs good fish for up here in michigan. But in those weeds i had a terrible time distinquishing bites from weeds anyone got any tips? I talked to the guy later he told me he worked at the tackle store up the road so i stopped on my way out and he was there he figures I got a lot less bites because of the different bait he says kinky beaver does 10 fold better than the sweet beaver and the weight. I fish jigs usually skipping docks on a baitcaster so I watch line and try to feel but in those deep weeds I feel lost. Any help would be much appreciated sorry
