So far panfish and hopefully a big bass soon. I've been float fishing, micro texas rig, drop shot and jig. I've been using a 8lb j braid with 4lb mono leader. Want to try lighter braid but haven't got around to ordering it yet. I been throwing 1/32 jigs.

Major Craft Trout Rod Troutino Area Model TTA-S622L vs Temple Fork Outfitters Trout Panfish II. Looking for a new rod. Been ultralight fishing with a Shakespeare micro and I have the bug.

So i already found a rod. Lol I went with kistler KLX Texas-Carolina Rigs, Jigs, Casting 7'3 medium heavy. They have a sale going on for $100 off right now. Plus it's American made!!

Looking for a new rod to use for worm and jigs. I'd like to keep it under 200. I'm thinking of going with a medium heavy or should I use a heavy fast? Side note I know I just posted about this but the rod I got was defective and realized I will mainly be using it for jigs and heavy t-rigs. The vegetation is getting thick right about now.

So sad new I have to return my rod already. It has a loose eyelet but I know I'm going to go for a medium heavy. The Daiwa ended up on my medium casting rod. Works great on it. My shimano curado is perfect for the medium heavy.

So I ended up with a daiwa tatula elite multi purpose rod 7'3 medium heavy. I think this will fill a good hole in my setup. I have tatula medium spinning rod. That works great with finesse fishing and a mojo bass 7ft medium. The mojo bass works great with the chatterbait but is not great for t-rigs. So the medium heavy should handle the rest I hope. Lol

I remember about megabass. Any suggestions for them?

I just bought a daiwa zillion. I'm looking for a rod to pair it with. I will mostly be using it for t-rigs and chatterbaits. Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under 200.

I think I'm just over thinking it. Lol I haven't even take it out yet but I think i will invest 1016.

I just bought the Zillion 21 SVTW from the jdm. It was a great price. If I want a deeper spool I could swap it out for the Daiwa MAG-Z Boost 1000 G1 spool? Sorry, I'm just making sure I don't buy the wrong thing. I do a lot of bank fishing. So I like my distance.

What do you mean try it with 1016?

I'm looking to get a reel. I currently have Shimano Curado K. I'm going to send it in for maintenance soon. Looking for something to use in the meantime. I have been itching to try a daiwa reel. I manly do Texas rigs and chatterbaits. Would this be a good for me? I found the reel 257. Is this a good deal?

I've owned this reel for over year now. It's never really cast very far. My friend has the same reel and can cast twice as far. Also now the thumb bar isn't always depressing. Like it isn't catching or something. Just wondering what the issue might be. Shimano Curado K Baitcast Reel - CU201HGK 7:4:1 on a mojo bass medium light.

So I bought the shimano ultegra 2000. How much drag does this have? I also want to use braided line? Any recommendation? I'd just like to say thank you to everyone! You made my life so much easier!

If I go with the daiwa tatula. Should I get the 7' medium fast?
