Re: Floating Jerkbait?
I take pleasure in using a variety of jerkbaits, which rank as my second-favorite method after crankbaits. On average, jerkbaits account for approximately 25% of my fishing time. I strive to remain impartial towards any JDM lures to avoid forming biases that could influence adversely impact my fishi...

Re: Deep-X 300
I'm lucky to fish on Chequamegon Bay 2-3 times a week during the warmwater period of the fishing season. Being a smaller part of Lake Superior, the average water temperature is around 55° year-round. The Megabass Deep-X 300 is a key component of my midrange diving (10-20ft) crankbait collection. Th...

Re: Anyone purchased from JP Angler lately?
If you're referring to the JP Angler website linked below, then indeed, I have been ordering rods from them without any problems since the spring of 2018. This includes the new Yamaga Blanks Blue Current III 78/B, which I purchased last month upon its release. However, if it concerns a different &qu...

Re: GLX MBR843C vs Poison Adrena 611 Medium+ for T-rigs
No worries at all about your English sir, you are doing fine! If life was easy and fair, I'd recommend the Daiwa Steez Racing Design RD STZ701MH/HXB-ST "Hustler Finesse Tune" since that's the best JDM rod I have ever used for any bottom contact lures between 1/4oz-1/2oz but these spectacul...

Re: Thoughts on high end bfs?
I would love a few suggestion of higher end JDM (USDM is a hassle to get shipped to Sweden) offerings in production. Looking for a super sensitive rod for Jika/Free rig/link head/ned fishing for redfin perch in Europe. Fishing (often semislack/slack) 4-6lb flouro with an Aldebaran BFS reel. If posi...

Re: Thoughts on high end bfs?
Thank you for your reply. I am familiar with Valley Hill as i have parts from them in my small ambassadeurs. Did not know they made casting rods suitable for BFS though! Unfortunatly i am a sucker for split grips, but i will put it on my wishlist anyway :) I will however find a very good use of you...

Re: Thoughts on high end bfs?
Fishing and travel go well together. I fish for perch and pike, but my main interest is BFS for trout and light tackle salmon fishing. Swing by and I will show you some waters... Thank you for the offer! It's been more than two decades since I last traveled to Europe and there's a certain "old...

Re: Mid Diving Flat Sides
It has been my experience that the OG Slim works well but is unable to endure repeated nuisance pike bites which are at epidemic levels early and late in the season on Chequamegon Bay. The answer I have found to this conundrum is the OSP HPF Crank in both its iterations: the normal HPF Crank with a ...

Re: Super Shallow Cranks
Furious 0.5.

Re: New Evergreen Kaleido Super Stallion GT3RS
I absolutely agree with you sir, unfortunately, there are only so many rods capable of presenting a deep water heavy soft plastic swimbait with the requisite felt sensitivity required to detect light bites during the summertime when big smallmouth bass follow baitfish out onto offshore structure. So...
