For the cost of these I want a "every fish on every cast" guarantee!

Yeah, you aren't convincing me that this isn't a live fish.

I have too much stuff in plain sight because I'm not married. ?

I'm a big fan of peg boards. Like roadwarrior said, it's a good/easy way to see what you have and what needs replenishing, etc.

I've had no issues with mine. I use Sniper (16#) on my Texas rig and jig rods. Haven't had any break-offs despite some hard hook-sets. And I rarely ever have to retie unless I feel some abrasion. Knots have been solid.

This guy!

This is what I use for my larger crankbaits, S-Waver 168, Vatalion, Gantarel Jr, Bullshad (6"), Whopper Plopper 130. https://alxrods.com/collections/ikos/products/thunder-76-x-heavy-modfast-casting

I mostly use 14# Sniper for my bladed jigs. Love it.

After reading through this thread, might I suggest you find a Snakehead Resource Forum. Maybe you can find the answer that you seek there. ?‍♂️

The 3/8 oz fishes the same way.

This is my exact set-up, except with a 10# fluoro leader.

Just doing some inventory. Proof that the Archelon works. Here's some of my stash. I'm good for a little while.

Picking only 10 is tough. No particular order (except for the first 2...those are my favorites).

Few weeks ago I caught a bass in some rocks. As I was taking the hooks out, it pooped this out. Obviously not a surprise since crawfish are a main forage of bass. What was surprising is how much it stunk!

Smallies don't mess around, either. (not my pic)

Always wanted to try Tatsu, but I'm so happy with Sunline Sniper FC that I don't know if it's worth paying the extra coin. As far as non-fluoro lines go, I like YZH and Sufix Advance.

Is your spool tension loose or tight when spooling?

If I'm picking one, it's the Keitech Swing Impact FAT, easily.

Not to hijack, but what's your guys' favorite shaky head jig head? I hear people say Siebert's has a good one. We talking about the Zenith or another?

I usually use an underspin on sunny days (regardless of water clarity). If cloudy-mostly cloudy, I usually don't fish an underspin.

So you're just looking at gloomis then?

Curado DC can help you out... edit- ^ He beat me to it.

Appreciate it!

Looking to get a new spinning rod for Senkos (wacky). Was eyeing the Sierra. I know Dobyns rod's rating can be a bit slower than others, with casting at least. I'm looking at the 7' medium/fast (703SF). Does anyone know if this feels like a normal fast action, or should I jump up to the med-heavy? Ideally I've always like medium/fast for wacky rigs. Thanks.

Forget the time-stamped part of the video....people need to watch the very first catch(es) at the 2:05 mark!
