Can anyone recommend a mold that works well or can be modified reasonably easily to make some nice mid strolling heads? I really like my gamakatsu ball heads for swim baits, but they don't seem to work real well for mid strolling.

Well, I gave it a shot yesterday and was able to get a few. One was over 4, so it worked fairly well. May have to give some of the big spoons a shot, just not sure how easy they are to keep further up.

The lake I often fish is 70-100ft deep within a cast to the bank. It gets a thermocline anywhere from 20-25 feet in the summer. Would a flutter spoon work just keeping above the thermocline and not going to the bottom?

I have the 2018 7'3"mh and 7'2"h. I'm really looking forward to the 24s, those handles make everything feel considerably amplified to me. I sold off my nrx+ jig rods as I just always grab the poison adrenas for those tasks now.

Have any good memorial day sales been announced? I haven't seen one for TW yet either.

Anyone have experience with this one? Newer to glides and wanted to try and toss it on my dobyns 795. Just wanted to some opinions before spending that much. Thanks all

It stacks like memorial day?

Bluegill flash and sungill here. Sungill on a white spinnerbait works great oddly

I have a barely used NRX+ 854 $450 shipped. Would consider trades for a dobyns xtasy 725 or maybe a kaden 6-10 4cb, dx703. Rod is amazingly sensitive, I just can't get used to how quick the Loomis rods shut off. All my other rods are dobyns and I like the more moderate tapers even if not as sensitive.

I believe the military discount stacks on memorial day sale only if your a vet

The cork is better on the xtasy, but probably wouldn't base rod choice on that.

I have some in 3/32 if that isn't too heavy for ya

I have a nrx+ 854 and a drx725. Both feel very light in hand and both balance very near the locknut. I'm probably going to end up in the minority on this, but I prefer the way the xtasy fishes. The nrx may be more sensitive, but by an amount that the brand of line your using probably has as much difference. It's splitting hairs and I couldn't honestly say I feel more with the NRX. Also have a zbone on the x ray blank...same thing it's sensitive, but would be guessing to rank it. The jwr nrx line are quite fast, to the point I feel concerned about fighting fish for any duration and trying to horse them a lot, as it's easy to unload rod. Having the backbone just a little further back is my preference. I wish the xtasy line had stayed in the 7'3"-7'4" range, rather than going to 7'5", but that's my only gripe. So I went down the the 7'2"

Really like those dolive beavers on a jig, the 3.5 are a nice size. They are quite expensive for a trailer though.

Texas rig trick worms are a staple for me, usually tossing them with a 3/8 weight. Also a fan of trick worms and roboworms (4.5,6) neko rigged.
