Keep us posted on what you end up getting.

I use a 16 ci4 3000 I like fishing floro no leaders the deeper spool makes for easier line management. Maybe the 2500 would be the exact same thing I don’t know and I really don’t care at this point ??‍♂️ it’s light feels good in my hand it’s not a huge reel. I’m happy with it.

Agreed^ rapala uses vmc on most their baits.

Bird nest are part of the gig

Yes, it does ??

Goby fat boy square bill... sweet!

You got a heck of a deal !!! their still selling at retail at my local tackle shops and at TW. Cousins website is sold out. I doubt whatever is left will be marked down here locally. Those are very nice rods.

Well don’t worry about that because they are not tip heavy. You can put any reel you want on a Powell endurance and it will not be tip heavy.

From my understanding Yamamoto will not fish with bait casters and you don’t have to fish them but if you don’t learn how will you ever know if it will benefit you and maybe help you become a better angler?

??‍♂️

It takes time..... it takes time... be patient you will get it eventually if we learned so will you. Can actually take even a couple of months till you finally get it down. You’re gonna get it just give it time.

Fish it hard you’ll get used to it.

Couple of jellyfish, some dolphins and looks like an actopus of some kind on the bottom.

It’s a good rod for the applications that you mentioned.

War is peace! Freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength! 1984

Seems like you’re looking at the right stuff now you just need to pick?

Well he wants to make sure that when the chatter bait wile going 75 miles an hour on a 10 speed reel, that looks nothing like a fish by the way, that the fish doesn’t notice the line. ??‍♂️ I’m inserting the laughing face before I’m taken seriously ?

I got a good chatter bait tip!!! go down to your local Walmart grab two of the original chatter baits one white one black and blue. Cast and retrieve.

Phenix, feather a good sensitive rod for a decent price.

I only read the title of the post but I have no desire to respond these, best line threads, go on forever every one has their own favorite line.

My first baitcaster was a pinnacle inertia and that little reel was a bad mama jama!

Kinda pushing it with a 5xD and a medium rod if you ask me the deeper you go the more resistance you get from the lure your throwing that’s something you have to keep in mind.

I have 15 pound line on my spinner bait chatter bait rod I don’t go lower than that for theses applications unless I’m fishing small spinner baits like pond Magic’s or war eagle fineness spinner baits. In other words 3/16 to 5/16, 12 pound line will do it.

I suck at bass fishing

No you can’t fish a lipless crank in every situation “lipless cranks do we really need anything else?” Yes we do. I went threw a stage where I was having a lot of success with lipless cranks and started buying all different styles of lipless cranks all colors of the aruko shads and red eye shads plenty of super spots but I quickly realized that i was wasting a lot of money on a bait that I couldn’t use in every situation. It’s good to master a lure like a lipless but to suggest that’s all you need we’ll thats just absurd.
