Fishing pressure is the greatest determinant to successful numbers. The six /seven lakes I fish, and catch decent fish regularly must not be on the all mighty G maps. Great!!
Ok, you win……….
You need to expand your fishing area! There are plenty of lakes, streams and ponds to fish in Indiana. Many free or minimum fee.
Gotta get away from the city and the reservoirs.
And as a side note, totally disagree with the previous “climate change” statement.
Not the place or thread to debate philosophical ideology here so I’ll leave it lie.
Your using the wrong bait-caster set up.
All my bait-caster outfits are every bit as sensitive as my spinning outfits.
Pair the right reel with the correct rod and you’ll find great feel as well as improved methods and presentations over spinning gear.
Try BFS and you’ll be amazed!
My near 30 year old Loomis rods have never had any sealer on them, in fact no cork handle rods I own. I like the dirty “used” look and feel of them, and they are still in perfect condition.
I did use a majik eraser on them when I spring serviced and re-lined the reels just this year and they look like new.
I see no use for sealers on a natural product. Natural cork has been used for hundreds of years in flooring and sealer has never been used or recommended.
Think of the abuse flooring receives!
Makes the most sense. Use what you have and you might find you like the white color as an accent to your kayak. Color isn’t affect the performance.
Get it mounted and get it on!
Good luck
I own both and can’t say I use the 844 much. I just don’t throw the bigger baits it is best at. Since kayaking I went to two MH (one being the 843 the other a Kistler 6’9” MH). I find with two different tip types covers the baits I throw more often.
Although the 844 isn’t going anywhere.
KISTLER Series 1 or 2 (less expensive)
Although I am Shimano guy and the BFS SLX is an excellent sized reel but the spool line quantity leaves me a bit,,,,,,,ughmmmm, short.
Hummmmmmm, seems rock would catch the weight in the cracks and crevices when dragged along. Maybe a pea gravel type bottom it would work well enough but not too sure about chunk.
I quit when I found myself buying the same plastic in the same size and color! I gave away four full paper grocery bags of plastics but that didn’t stop me from buying more.
It’s all good if you enjoy it.
Monkey see, monkey buy!
I like his “has been around a few years” statement. Yeah l’ve fish them more than 40 years! Actually called spinbaits, same thing different generations terminology. Everything old is always new again.
But they still work
