Re: Wave Tiki Stick vs. Yamamoto Senko

So I've never tried this but this makes sense, from Western Bass.com Don Iovino video presentation at a sportsman show, basically you thread a peg it through the eye of the hook, wedge it in their and cut it down to form a small cross, then just pull the hook eye with the plastic peg it into the bod...

Re: Sunline Sniper - overtest or accurate?

I bought 5# Sniper, it holds a 5# dumbell using the palomar knot just fine giving it a slow lift, giving it a little jerk pops it. So I gotta say overtest in my case since knots are supposed to be weaker than the line, I might not fully understand terms like impact or acceleration yet.

Re: Is it just me or is the XRap..

I'm not exactly sure this might be a colder water lure based on your locations but could be wrong. What's the water temperature during the summer in some place like Michigan?

Too Complicated

If you only could use four rods this fall what techniques would you guys use. I go to split shotting and drop shot I would say 90% of the time, maybe I'm missing something good.

Re: TRILENE FLUOROCARBON LINE

So anyway play the video. I heard good things about this Jam Knot and the guy demonstrates, I think its more informative than knot charts. http://www.vicious-fishing.com/vicious- ... rchive.php

Re: yozuri hybrid line

Yozuri hybrid is more for baitcasters and is stronger than ultra soft but has more memory at the begining of the day but loses the memory as the day progress. Ultra Soft is more for spinning rods and people that hate all memory all the time so its limper but weaker at the same diameter as Hybrid. Bo...

Re: Fuoro vs. Mono real world results?

I would like to say Carbon Pro 8# has a 6# diameter and I always get trout drop shotting roboworms and 5# Sunline Sniper. My friend never gets trout on 8#XL dropshotting roboworms, its bass all the time for him. 2# fluro gets bitten better on weekends better than 2# mono in Suburbia for trout. But d...

Re: Decent rod for under $60

I think those Clarus Rods by Shimano is worth a look and they also come with a pretty good factory warranty as I rememember.
