Recently ordered some gear from and they included a free spool of 25lb fluoro with my order. I use 10 lb and 15 lb fluoro for most applications, with the exception of 50 lb braid for my frogging, and pitching into heavy cover. My question is what should I use the 25 lb for? Maybe a leader on my flip...
I typically fish with two rods one for Texas rig the other for wacky. In the past I've always done 7 ft MH F for both but not sure what is best for my wacky set up. I do fish heavy cover, in MA and NH, every time and use green braid line.
Whats the best spinning rod (length and action) a...
Can someone please explain how a reel that has a (for example) 7.3.1 gear ratio would have more leverage than a reel that has a 8.1.1 gear ratio when pulling a fish out of slop? I don't really understand that concept, maybe i'm slow but can someone break it down for me? To eliminate the fluff about...
Alright guys, I fancy myself a decent jig fisherman and at my local spot its a necessity that I use one due to the cover presented. I fish a slow moving, muddy river that is chalk full of trees, logs, rocks and god knows what else from the bank to bottom. I have semi consistently lost a jig or two e...
I live in central Florida and fish the Kissimmee Chain mainly and if you know this chain, you know how much grass, pads, and hydrilla there is. I LOVE to fish a heavy cover swim jig, mainly a 1/2 oz. Gambler Heavy Cover Swim Jig with an EZ Swimmer trailer. Heavy grass, heavy rods, heavy line. For th...
Looking to buy a new rod for light punching and flipping Texas rigs/jigs in heavy cover, is the G loomis e6x flip/punch suitable for me? Is it worth $200? But the most important factor is if it is sensitive. I really need to feel every little bump, stick, and bite. I'm also open to any other rods ar...
Looking to buy new jigs for heavy cover and are *** jigs the way to go? The only thing that's holding me back are the dual plastic hook guards, will they ruin my hook sets? Any info will help, just trying to spend my money wisely.
Thanks
I admit, I woefully underuse soft plastics, most likely due to my having taught myself to fish at a young age. I needed a fast, more interesting way to fish. (I was ten and got bored easily.) Now however, I would like to better utilize them. When do you use soft jerkbaits vs paddletails vs soft cr...
I have never been much of a worm guy, just was never good for it. I have always harbored an affinity however, for soft plastic jerkbaits and crawfish imitating baits. Recently, while fishing in a shallow farm pond I came upon an area with a plethora of shallow, cut, close to shore trees. I conside...
