Yessir I can do that

Have you used that @NorthernBasser

Rod is Megabass Orochi XX Diablo Spec R 7’2” 3/8-3/4oz. I use It almost exclusively for chatterbaits. Reel choices: Tatula TWS 80 6.3:1 or Tatula TWS SV70 7.1:1

Yeah. So basically the quote doesn’t apply here because I won’t be repeating anything regarding basstrix. Got It.

Thanks amigos

What would I be repeating in regards to a basstrix paddletail?

I like a stiffer action anyway. Almost said stiffer Rod ?

A California company that specializes in paddletails, tubes, and drop shot plastics, none of which do I care to hardly ever use. Crazy I know.

I don’t know anything about the basstrix but my son caught this on the zoom with a jighead/swimbait head. May 15, 2021

If I’m just doing basic oiling on reels that are starting to sing loudly on the cast, where and how do I oil? These are tatula reels. Thanks

The SV is sold

Braid will work and I use It for when the water is flooded and I’m pitching jigs into the heaviest cover, but normally I use 15-20lb fc. Sniper or Invisx.

Why don’t you like the expert as much? All this has done is make me think I need to get them both!

They just seem so hard to find right now! if I got the head Turner, what do you think about pairing It with a Tatula 70sv for those techniques?

I want a short rod for light pitching and accurate spinnerbait casting. Here’s the choices: Falcon Expert Head Turner 6’10” H $195 Dobyns Champ XP 684c 6’8” H $180 Or any others I should look at?

Same. I’ve had this exact rod for chatterbaits with 50lb straight braid. I never lost fish. Was a great combo. On jumps, I lower the rod but I’m sweeping the rod to put more tension on them if that makes sense. No slack at all.

I’ve used improved clinch on every fishing knot I’ve ever tied (except dropshot) with no issues including 50lb mono on saltwater gear.

Lews have more powerful drag than most but if you’re wanting to stay with Daiwa a Tatula CT can be had for about $100 or I’ll sell you a stronger Tatula 150 that will handle any of that for $150.

I think your small ponds that you carry your canoe into are going to be ok.

I’ve never heard any of that or any guarantees but that sounds like click bait videos and not something I’d watch anyway. The pros that do instructional type videos are the ones I like. They make no guarantees but do teach some pretty standard rules for certain waters and seasons. As far as how they finish in tournaments. Not every one can finish first. They are fishing against the best in the world. The fact that they are fishing the tours at that level is impressive to me.

Custom knife I had made from a file. Can’t see in this pic but the liners are blue.

I’ll do $150 for the SV?

Yeah I don’t like the 12” very much. But I do have these 15” worms https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/NetBait_BaitFuel_C-Mac_Curly_Tail_Worm/descpage-NBCSAS.html?from=basres Only used them once and caught about a 2 pounder. They are almost all curly tail and less body though so pretty delicate Worm.

10.5” ol monster and 10” power worm is a summer time staple for me.
