I hope these become available in smaller sizes and weights.
How come?

I've caught 12 inch to 6 lbers this spring on the Sleeper Craw. I've found that even the small fish have the lure in the mouth.

Re: Light and Tough? It Does EXIST and It's Made by Daiwa

Cal, Can you please specify your thoughts? I've always been a proponent of larger/wider spools on spinning reels for better line management. With a wider spool, the coils on your fishing line aren't as small, so there's less issues with line memory. Daiwa and Shimano usually offer a model with a 30...

Re: Light and Tough? It Does EXIST and It's Made by Daiwa

Cal, Can you please specify your thoughts? There are other design features I didn't go into much detail about like the smaller diameter spools for less friction on casts equating to better casting distances Actually, Daiwa Pro Brent Ehrler uses bigger diameter spools explaining that helps him to gai...

How are they different to a bowfin? I caught a lot of bowfin in South Georgia, my PB so far is ~7lb.

Re: Evergreen International's Pencil Popper - the Shower Blo

What size is great for spotted bass (2-3 lb range)?
Will 105 size increase the number of bites overall?

Re: Certate (Blue) Line Roller
