    Very nice people at Fairfield I like supporting them whenever I can. Haha definitely. I go to SOL for surf tips and BST... here for largemouth and baitcaster discussions, or when I don't want to browse a site where everyone is 90 years old.

    Lol saw your post on SOL so I was like why is this happening to so many people lately... Fairfield fishing tackle up by you is a great family owned shop if you're looking for a local professional solution.

    Expensive stuff but high quality. The first time I bought some of the Bellow's and Spiron creatures, I tried them out on 3/8 jigs and this just created a profile that was way too huge to me. I now think of these as standalone baits vs. trailers. On a M spinning or casting rod, the 3.8 inch models have plenty of weight to be thrown "weightless". And without additional terminal tackle, you unlock some pretty sweet action for dying/fleeing baitfish type presentations. My experience has been all of their products have a unique action and scent that bass seem to always hit HARD. Always have some in stock now. I fish in the Northeast US and pretty certain most bass here havent seen much of these yet.

    3/8-1oz Fast

    Curious about the "12 completely new lengths/powers/actions". So far the initial release models all seem pretty standard other than the 7'3" M X fast, which is fairly unique. Wish it was casting though. Nonetheless very excited!

    Jealous. Up in Vermont skiing. Everything’s frozen lol

    really hope they have a 7'5"-ish jig/bottom contact. Maybe a true BFS model too... That would surely sell

    I'll check them out, thanks! My last trip to NOLA was for jazzfest which I enjoyed. I know Mardi Gras is legendary but jazzfest feels like Mardis Gras for grownups which is more my pace haha.

    Thanks for this thoughtful response. I'll definitely add some of your recommendations to my list. That lagoon sounds like an awesome spot to check out! This trip will be my 4th time in NOLA which is why I want to make the effort to venture out elsewhere in LA, especially being such a renowned state for largemouth fishing. Any thoughts on patterns you'd recommend to a tourist fishing out there in July? Obviously I'll have to bring far less tackle than I'd like (probably try to keep it down to just two 3600 planos for the adventure). Most likely I will have a a 7 footer MH travel rod with a 6 or 7 gear baitcaster to keep things versatile. Water clarity will of course vary depending on where I am at, but my initial sense is to try some top water moving baits in early AM and transition to deeper diving/ bottom contact stuff as the sun starts to beat down. Appreciate it!

    Appreciate that, will do. I'm thinking my road trip will take me through BR for a day then head towards Lafayette to fish the general area a couple days.

    Headed down to NOLA for a long weekend trip with old friends this summer. Planning to stay a few extra days than everyone else to do some fishing. I know there are several threads with NOLA/BR fishing tips and spots and I will definitely try to hit University Lake and City Park while I'm out there. Wanted to get some advice though on more remote spots worth getting to if I have a rental car for a few days. Any recommendations from 1 hr up to 2 hours away from NOLA would be much appreciated. Morgan City seems like it could be fun general area to fish but hoping for some local insight. Mostly lookin for bass but will fish for whatever. Thanks!

    I picked up a JDM Bantam MGL in the 6 gear ratio for pretty much the same purpose. It's my second Bantam though so I went with it because I love the way the reel feels in hand more than anything else. The JDM line also has a 5 gear ratio but I would only go that low for a deep diver setup.

    I have this rod. it's xtremely versatile and was my first higher end rod. Purchased earlier this year and fished through the summer with it mostly throwing t-rigged plastics and lighter jigs. I think you'd be happy throwing anything in the weight range where a fast action is preferred. Story seems odd to me

    Thanks for your responses. I will make the call before I order!

    Novice spare parts question here. Couldn't find an exact answer to this by searching, appreciate any guidance. I am looking to buy a spare spool for my Bantam MGL151XG, exact model link below with parts list: https://fishshop.shimano.com/collections/bantmgl151xg If I buy the "Spool Assembly" part # BNT5805, can anyone confirm this will include all sub-components so I can just swap out with the current spool as needed to change lines? The term assembly is suggestive that this would be the case but would like some reassurance before dropping the $. I am looking for the simplest solution to swap braid and copoly on the water, but I don't want to get into moving bearings between spools or anything beyond removing side plate for a quick swap. Obviously not the most technical reel guy. Appreciate any responses!
