Yes...don't know about the internals, hardware, etc....may have to pick one up to toss around and compare.

Don't know about the comparison either, but Aruku is a great bait and worth a test.

I fish with some guys who will throw a 1/4oz jig on braid and a spinning setup in flipping situations. Sometimes they want something smaller/slower drop like that. Other times they want a full ounce whizzing by their face (even in shallow water). 1/2oz is the right starting point though...I'd sugges...

In our neck of the woods I want it to stay above the bottom/weeds if they are going to goop/foul me up, but hit the bottom if it's rocks, logs or sand. I'm no expert but have started catching more bass on deep divers in jersey over the last year doing this.

The last two times out he hooked and brought in his first fish, learned to cast his spinning rod/reel by himself and went on his first b...

Way to have a camera man this time! Kid in the background looks sad that you took his fish away from him...haha j/k.

Nice pictures, I enjoyed the report. Be careful with the full size buzzjet on 12lb test...would hate to see you launch that in to orbit. Most people I know (myself included) use 20lb mono or hefty braid. Obviously a personal preference though, not saying that 12lb won't work for you (and that CXX is...

Got a lure from him...great communication, very fast shipping. Even checked with me to make sure the item arrived. A+ Thanks.
