Re: Could It Be Magic? Megabass's US P5 F5.5-76X Mark-56

Complete Article: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewmegabassusp5f7576xmark56.html The review stated that the M56 handled 3.5 - 4oz baits easily.

Re: Gan Craft White Noise

Then again, I have a Super Red Demon that I really like, so I probably "don't need" either rod. The 7' or 7'-1" whichever it is Dead Sword is going to be pretty on par with the Tequila Baccarac... Either is actually better suited than the Super Red Demon only because I find the handle on the Super ...

Re: Gan Craft White Noise

Only differences I could discern upon initial investigation when the rod was announced was the color scheme/cosmetics... I'd hope there are other differences that I missed, but when I saw the $800 price tag, I stopped investigating ;) - and I like the Dead Sword series.

Is it normal to use lighter main line (braids) with heavier leaders? It makes sense, and I feel I was stupid that I never thought that way. :lol:

Re: FG finish help

That finish knot on the FG is why I abandoned the FG knot personally.

There's a finish knot I try to explain on page 2 of my writeup on PowerPro's Hollow Ace you might try.

Excellent read and write up...this rod will be en route to serve as a multi purpose light swimbait rod for 1-3 oz baits.

Thanks Cal!
