I bought some 1 1/4 round floats, the red and white ones. I was trying to figure out how much weight I should use with the floats. Is there a better way than just trying out different weights?

I always try to tie the FG knot no matter what line size. PR knot is the strongest knot. If I want a quick and easy knot the double uni.

Thank you for letting me know about the Fuego LT for $59.99. I got that and I got the Dobyns Maverick. I have no doubts about the Fuego LT, just hope I made the right decision on going with the Dobyns Maverick instead of the Aird-X.

Where do you see the Fuego LT for $59.99? From scheels right? Thank you I will be getting that reel. The Dobyns Maverick is only $79.99. Is the Dobyns worth the extra $20

I would if I could there are no local stores with Dobyns rods. I'm pretty much going with the Daiwa Revros LT or the Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier Spinning Combo. With the Daiwa Revros LT I am trying to find out if the Dobyns Maverick is worth the extra $20 or should I just go with the Aird-X.

I like the look of Dobyns Maverick. How better is it than the Daiwa Aird-X? It is only 20 dollars more since they are on sale.

Right now I want to stay under $150. I have never liked spinning reels, I find them awkward too. But I need something to fish lighter finesse-type lures. I never really gave spinning a good go. I want one that will do finesse and I will stick with it for a while and give spinning reels a chance. I might be wrong and turn out to like fishing with spinning reels.

Hello. I am looking for a combo that will do the Nedmiki, drop shot, Ned rig, shakey head, and maybe a Texas rig worm, and of course, I will be doing Wacky rig. I have been looking at buyer guides from Tactical Bassin'. My budget is around $150. I never cared for or liked spinning reels but I would like to try one and use it for and see how I like spinning gear. Thank you.

I wonder if anyone else knows of this. Is there a site or video that shows this?

I would have to make sure for this time. If I remember correctly about 1/3.

I have been thinking about that. It seems like I always run low on my braid. I got Sufix 832 Advanced Superline Braid 65lb test

A casting reel was what I was talking about.

I did use 20lb mono until I started having big problems with my braid. From what I have seen 10 or 12 is the most recommended size. I have seen some say match the diameter. Is that really the best way or is that just people talking?

A lot of people say don't believe YouTube, so does that mean every knot test and any other line test is trash if it is from YouTube?

I leave my reel and rod in the car. I have tented windows. The mono was always covered with braid. Only today did I get down to the backing from making long casts. I did about 2 casts. I have 8lb mono, maybe I need bigger?
