But then you wouldn't want your drag tight with braid. In either case I would carry a file too, if you miss a couple fish sharpen it up Quote

Specifically the “Flipping” and “Carolina Rig” models. I don’t know much about KastKing other than than they make Good middle of the road quality reels. They also have a Flippin rod that’s a 8 Foot fast action in their regular series of these rods, would that be overkill haha? I feel like it would be but maybe for my paticular situation maybe it would actually benefit me. I talked to my father some about the rod he claims that he only ever owned two rods that were 7 foot. He seems 100 percent positive it is a Team Daiwa Series Denny Brauer Flippin Stick, Exact make he’s not sure he bought it back in the 90s. So least y’all know what I’ve been using a bit better vs Just a Heavy Mystery rod haha! Sadly Can't speak of KK as they are not offering their most interesting rods in Canada. Quote

From what I’ve learned any GR 7.x.x and up is best for Jiggin n plastics and higher is better course I could be wrong. The weight of the Phantom X would be a significant improvement over my Black max that thing weighs a pound literally. What do you know about their Torrent reel? I can’t really tell a difference between it and the Phantom X series other than a 10 dollar price difference. This is the original Phantom: https://www.amazon.com/Piscifun-Phantom-Baitcasting-Lightest-Baitcaster/dp/B074V63F14/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=piscifun+phantom&qid=1565092485&s=gateway&sr=8-2 The Torrent is a mag brake, phantom X is centrifugal and original phantom has both. I'd personnally refrain from buying a mag brake Chinese reel. Quote
