Nice! I have the 7'2" MH and H and for Christmas I got the 7' M spinning rod. The other 2 rods you have are high on my interest list!

They feel great in my hands, but it will be a long time before the lakes thaw and I can try them out!

[FishTank]

Finally got my Mojo Yak rod.  It has a much softer tip than most rods and I like the feel of the handle.   I had fished one in the past (barrowed) thought it was weird but for a kayak it will be just right, I hope.

Jason, how about a review on the Tatula 300 once you use it for awhile. Contemplating grabbing one. 

So, spooled it up with 20lb Izor and took it on a test run. Paired it with a Low Down Customs MH 1-5oz tossing around a Tiny Klash (2oz), Roman Made Nego (2oz) and a Doomrider Glide. First impressions..I’m not impressed. Casting distance I feel is sub par compared to my Lexa 300..had it on brake setting 6, tossing into slight wind but nothing to bad to hinder a cast. Hopefully in time with more use it’ll break in and my opinion will change lol. Looks nice though

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to open the reel up, and check for proper grease, and oiled bearings, mainly the spool bearings.? Sometimes Dawa's come a little dry. Anyhow, thanks for the report, hopefully in time you get more performance from it.

Well.. I didnt feel I needed to because it felt fine out the box. The retrieve and the overall feel of it felt buttery smooth. I’ll give it more time on the water and hopefully it gets better in time.

My new crankbait rod.  

 

[12poundbass]

Geez 2 days since anyone received a tackle order? I got this one yesterday was a small gift card I needed to burn up. I had completely forgot what I ordered except for the swivels, so it was like Christmas when I opened it yesterday. ?

What great looking rod decals man, such a nice blue!

[MarkG52]

Scored a couple of OG's at BPS yesterday.

Other than one rod and one reel that have already been paid for - this is the last of this winter's purchases. Couple more colors of Trick Worms, a selection of Finesse Worms and some swimbait hooks

Ahhhh........ the good stuff........

 

that should easily check the Texas rig off your bucket list. 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz bullet sinker in any of those will work, especially slithered through veg or brush

[Primitive fisherman]

Thought I’d use the Black Friday and end of year sale to finally try out 6th sense next season

[heavyduty]

Try? In my neck of the woods that supply is called "all in"! Tight lines!

Well I’m sure that would work but that won’t help the never caught one with a Texas rig problem ...........

ive fished those zoom worms my whole life and never knew they floated

True - they will see T-Rigs - but I like having plastics that can fulfill more than one role.

They also work very well weightless with a thin hook (very slow sink with a shimmy), and on a jig head, and Carolina rig, and as a jig trailer, and wacky rig......... good worms!
