The rod and reel combo having the issues is a 7' 11" XH Okuma swimbait rod paired with a Calcutta 400TE reel. The combo not having the issues is a custom wrapped Rainshadow 967 with a Calcutta 400 reel. Both paired with 25lb test. Did the Q-tip test and found nothing. Never used braid on any of thes...

I am pretty damn lost at this point. The problem is my 25lb line keeps breaking and its costing me fish and expensive lures. So far I've lost a Lunker Punker and a R2S Rover that I bought as a temporary replacement for the Punker. The series of events that has me confused goes something like this. I...

Well I picked up R2S Rover 230 today in trout and plan on taking it out tomorrow or thursday for some testing.

Im not sure what makes it any different than the R2S rover or Super Magnum Zara Spook as I haven't used either of those. The one difference that is easy to make out is the profile is more trout like and the spook & rover are more of a minnow shape. The intangible to me was just the different actions...

The size six works good with most swimbaits. Baits with a bigger hook hanger like the MS Slammer might need a 7 or 8 however I haven't switched those split rings out yet.

I really don't like blocking the background. However the shot was pretty telling of where I was fishing. The lake seems to be off the radar a little bit and if it allows me a few more fish like these in the next month or two then I am going to try and keep it off the radar a little longer. The word ...

Actually went out to do some largemouth bass fishing but they weren't cooperating. Fish was caught on a custom wrapped Rainshadow 967, Calcutta 400, 25 lb Triple Fish camoescent, and a medium sized black MS Slammer. No clue on the weight as the scale was 40 ft. away. I do know that it is however my ...
