Casting - X4 Hedgehog (stinger tip) with Alphas Finesse special

Spinning - old Daiwa Cielo with the Ti tip. That tip is special and wonderful for drop-shot.
Runner up - XX stinger tip with Ignis 2505

Always run straight FC...no braid.

Good gracious that is gorgeous!

Honestly, i would stick with those baits and work on presentation, color selection and depth selection. You may want to vary size also. Pause time, jerk rate and depth afffect the bite more than anything.

Agree on the HLC spool if you are going for pure distance. The original dimpled spool is faster and wilder than the IZE spool.

Hi all,

Looking for input on the best rod tube for transporting rods for travel. The tube would have to be handled by the airline, so it makes me nervous. Any insight is appreciated.

Imgur works nicely for pics.

Monster crappie!!

Is the Brigand an ideal Erie tube bait rod?

Enough with the tackle, let's see some frogs?!?!

Ohio is 1.19 lbs. This guy was a big warmouth. Never even looked into it. Thanks for pointing it out Ed.

Pretty little warmouth. Not the preferred species, but so colorful.

First smallie outing since season is closed on Canadian waters. Took a run to American waters.

Nice Kooya!! Bass islands?

Full sunshine and air temps in the 80s...bass are prepping for the spawn. First nice ones of 2019.

Sensitivity is very good. You would have to really not pay attention to miss a bite.

Ok. Thanks!

What were the shortcomings?
