Just picked up a green 822S DSR NRX on the auction site, yes! Had this rod in blue and sold it to pick it up in green and didn't think I was gonna find one. That makes 14 green NRX rods in total that I purchased just recently , man can wait to get these in my hand. I'm currently fishing tournaments with 2 rods lol, talk about doin a 360, not a 180 lol.

Wow I feel bad for someone going 6-7 months without catching a fish. That beats your confidence down and just makes it harder and harder to catch them. The post was how many times did u fish and get skunked, not I didn't catch any for x amount of time cuz I wasn't fishing? And for the guys that go one day all yr without getting skunked why aren't you fishing the pro tour? Hell and I thought I was a better than average angler ?

What would u do attach the devices that track their eyes all over the outside of the tank? How would the devices stay locked onto their eyes with them moving all over the place?

Awesome! been fishing them w keitech baits also. Comes through cover and grass very well. Like it better than a spinnerbait. And u can get it to work higher or deeper in the water column by using a bigger and bulkier swimbait or a smaller one.

Two baits in one, buzzbait and a walking bait. Hence u don't actually walk it but it floats like a walking bait. So u can fish it like a buzzbait and then stop it and let it sit. Excellent bait IMO, I usually buy a white/bone, black and a natural colored one matching the forage in your lake. Unless your lake is always stained to muddy than ditch the natural colored one.

So u only use them for flipping like me. I know people use them for other applications and that's what I was wondering. If I'm missing out on something. Like I know some guys use them with Roboworms on a dropshot. I just realized I put this under the wrong thread.

Hey guys, the only straight shank hooks I have in my box are heavy flipping hooks. Can u guys tell me what baits u use em on and why, or the benefits of using one over an offset, ewg, owner twistlock ect? And are u using a snell knot? Thanks guys!

Yea gonna mix it up w some rounds and low profile reels.

Yep

I gave away all the ones I didn't want to keep already. Going through the rest of my plastics and was gonna put on ebay but that's stupid will put them on here in the FM.

I have a bunch of those also, bought them cuz my local shop doesn't carry Grande. Haven't fished them much, well I have tons of plastics that have never even been opened. Including Berkley power works that are probably 20 yrs old, bad yea I know. I did give about 50 bags of them to my friends. Just always buying new plastics and I'm the idiot that thinks he needs every color.

Kickerfish holeshot, Biospawn plasmatail, Havoc bottom hopper, Zoom trick or finesse, Grande baby rattlesnake, Roboworm. Any some others, I'm not a one or two or...bait guy lol. After reading this though I'm gonna try the Netbait, Damiki and Sharpshooter.

Recently moved to Tx and will be placing a TW order. And in that order is gonna be a bunch of sun protection gear as I currently own none. Wish a local store carried some as u never know how some companies sizes run, I'm between LG XL. I love all the camo stuff, HUK, Under Armor, Simms ect. A local ma and pa bait store by me has these awesome Lew's jerseys that are made for the sun, they have the Lew's emblem on them in black, shirt is silver w long sleeves. Very soft and light for only $25! Want to order a pair of the Simms sun gloves, not the guide series. Does anyone own these? How do they hold up and fit?

Thanks for the link, definitely gonna pick up some of the camo stuff.

Lol I'm just the opposite, I have searched the whole country for the green ones. So far I have purchased 14 of them. I sold the cpl blue ones I had. The green ones are starting to get some good money since being discontinued.

The Met DC is gonna be a little heavy also. I was undecided also and just ordered the standard Mets. Ordered 5 to hold me over until the 16 Met LH comes out. But my question is where did you get the green NRX? Looks like u got the MH, what length did u get it in? Mine should all be here within this coming wk I can't wait.

What DCales and iabass posted is exactly the info I was looking for. The regular and xl fit different sz rods different ways no matter the manufacturer recommendations. Depending on rod length u can have it come right down or close to the front grip or have it well above it. Well above is what I want so I can keep my lures on without the cover interfering with the lure.

It's listed but in the reviews guys complain about the normal sz. for anything 7ft or over so wanted to get some opinions from guys on here.

I use their different fluros and don't think you can beat there Reaction Fluro for reaction baits.

Aaron Martin has a great youtube video on why he uses the Metanium 8.5's for everything and 7.2 for crankbaits. That's the way I'm going, made sense to me. Also like everything in life I think it personal preference and what works best for you.

What sz. L or XL covers for 7'1" 7'5" 7'7" rods?

That would be from TW since there TW brand. On TW site you can order right or left hand covers.

Yea I have some others also but have to disagree that they r all the same or do the same.

Placing TW order and need reel covers for 2013 Mentaniums and Aldebaran. Read a lot of good things about the TW covers in the reviews on TW. Not many reviews of Body Glove on TW. Or if u recommend another brand. Also need round covers for 15 Calcutta Conquest 201, thanks.

What rod is that?
