How’s the p-line ultimate fluorocarbon? TW has It at 50% off when you buy two. Beat me to It. At tackle warehouse.

Those are sick looking

like spot lock? I use It with Livescope. I see what I want to throw It, orient myself to It, hit spot lock, throw at target. I don’t HAVE to see what I’m casting at 100% of the time. btw I use spot lock way more to just find structure I like rather than find and watch individual fish take my bait. Although that’s pretty cool too

works for me and everyone I know just fine. Fortrex works fine too.

I would imagine everyone on this thread is the same way. But we all played along.

Probably. They currently make Champion XP and HP.

It seems like g loomis sponsors less fisherman also. This would contribute to seeing less pros using them.

Agree. The guys that win the most tournaments around here pitch soft plastics. 100% of the time, year round. They’ve gotten really really good at It and that’s what they do. While the rest of the field is running around thinking the bass “should be hitting chatterbaits and squarebills. Well that’s not working so let’s try a spinnerbait. Dang not today. Let’s run across the lake. I swear It's pre-spawn and Shad spawn. This should be working!!! Let’s run across the lake again.” Meanwhile the winner is slowly working an area all day getting big bites pitching a creature.

Of what I own… I would choose Daiwa Tatula SV Limited 7.1, Daiwa Rebellion 7’3” MH F 1/4-1oz, 15lb invisx fc I use It now mostly for weightless senkos, but can (and have) easily throw light Texas rigs like speed craws with 3/16 or so weight, 3/8 oz dirty jig finesse jigs. That would cover just about anything I need to do.

I did the exact same thing. I’m going to be well stocked in these.

To me they were too big in hand, didn’t feel as nice, and were super finicky to dial in.

The only Winn grips I’ve used wore out in about 6 trips. Then they became fuzz grips. My (at the time) 11 year old son wore his winns out as well. So yeah, that sucked therefore they sucked. Had to get grip replacements for both rods.

Bought two original Team Daiwa Fuegos. They sucked. Sold them and got some SVs. So I say sell if you don’t like.

@VolFan That’s the one! It looks pretty legit I just don’t like the color!

I didn’t bring them up first. Re-read.

I’ve never felt “memory foam”-like Eva. That would be way too soft. Also Winn grips suck.

Doesn’t look the same to me at all. It’s longer, more worm like, and probably less weight. I want the tanuki for pitching into cover. I don’t think I would use the neko macho for that.

Probably a better regular top water rod than It is a frog rod.

Got this in a door prize package and since apparently no one wants the whole lot for $35 I’m stuck with this thing. Anyone thrown one or had any luck? Where and when would you throw this ugly thing?

Won this bait as a door price. Bucca baby bull Shad. How are these?

4/0 rebarb medium wire

It’s a Dobyns Maverick 734c

What’s the difference in the armilo and regular defier pictured above?

Decided to keep the bull shad so everything else pictured for $35tyd
