Re: DRT rods, tho
The same could be said for their swimbaits. I had a couple variations and never caught a single fish on either of them. On the upside, I was able to sell them for a profit. I’m with you. Seen a few baits, they were ‘nice’ but come on… Hype to my eyes. All of it. And those junk $2 looking ‘knobs’ so...

Re: Sanding part 63 or remove part 65 alphas r edition
My thought is washers are placed for reason, probably best not to remove it. Good luck

Re: Confidence and colors
The larger the flakes and the denser their distribution, the more I dislike them. In fact, I barely ever buy or fish any plastic with red flake. Or am I just really weird? Yup. You're just really weird. Around here red flake (pick your primary) is the only thing that never disappoints. I'm joking, ...

Re: Accurate bait casting tips
Hi, I'm looking for good tips for casting a baitcaster for both accuracy and distance. I want to take my casting to another level and feel good advice regarding casting technique might be helpful. Thanks. Distance there are all sorts of variable, but accuracy there is only one. LOOK at your target,...

Re: Honest opinions...is BFS really worth trying?
Ok...need your guys thoughts and advice. Seems like lots of people have been talking over the last few years about how great BFS is and how they replaced most if not all of their spinning tackle with it. But then in various forums, I see that most are still referring to spinning gear as what they u...

Re: What’s the craziest topwater blowup you’ve had?
Mine was on a miscast over shallows into low hanging tree limbs, just missed my target, off enough to catch braid on adjacent limb. Short story, recognized it, taught line to avoid wrapping, gave it a slow hop to ready a drag/whip back through when one came straight and nailed it midair limbs snappi...

Re: Guides wrapped on the spine of the blank
What I was taught is the spline (or spine call it whichever) ... Spline: a thin wood or metal strip used in building construction. 2 : a key that is fixed to one of two connected mechanical parts and fits into a keyway in the other also : a keyway for such a key. Spine: a series of vertebrae extend...

Re: Guides wrapped on the spine of the blank
What I was taught is the spline (or spine call it whichever) is the strongest part and, therefore, most durable. It does not matter if guides are placed on top, spiral, bottom, all irrelevant to durability. If dual spline then side by side (it happens), single spline up top, no exception. I, too, fe...

Re: First Swimbait Combo
I’ll try to offer some assistance. I do not know those rods, but from what you provide I can offer opinion on what might best serve you. Look, I’m sure we all agree tackle is subjective, but for whatever general purpose might be a mod/fast taper is a good place to start. In my experience, a true fas...

Re: Rod Is Probably the Most Important for Topwater (or Any Style of Fishing)
Irony at it’s finest… There are only so many ways to do the same thing and fishing is no different. It’s mass you seek. Mass moves mass. It's physics. I’m probably going to get counter argument to this, but way I see things is even if we manage to find taper and handle, but blank is too light, then ...

Re: **The Movie Jaws**
Oh, about FIFTY. I was lucky enough as a child to see it in theater when it came out, things were so different then. A massive theater, not the subcompact rooms they use now to offer dribble. Back then movies were a big event, half the folks dressed up, people smoking everywhere, ash trays on every ...
