If it's a football jig I use twin tail grubs, usually a skirted grub at that cuz I don't put skirts on my f/ball jigs. Anything else gets a zoom critter craw. If it's dirty or I'm using a 3/8 and up flipping jig I sometimes use the bigger critter craws but usually it's a brown finesse jig and a gree...

If you live near a bass pro take it there to exchange it WITHOUT the reciept. They are almost like walmart at exchanges and returns.

Thanks again catchem. I looked it up. Wish they had an actual catalog.

Have you guys ever tried products made for rc cars? RPM makes a tool called the bearing blaster for cleaning bearings. Their are also several different lubes such as acer.

Thanks for the info catchem! Are those rare or is their somewhere you can order them?

What kind of finish is on that reel seat? I like it but was wondering about it's scratch resistance. Not that I would beat up a rod like that.

Looks worth buying just to get that box!

Of these two breaking systems which do you recommend for pitching especially for skipping? I've read (on this site) that the Z doesn't kick in until higher spool speeds. I see how this would help in pitching distance but it seems like in skipping it may let the spool over run some. I skip docks any ...

I've always wanted to slap 20's on my trailer but I'm afraid it would be on blocks when I made it back to the ramp!

It started out coooollllddddddd and windy but warmed up to be a nice day. The water was around 44 in the morning but warmed to around 46 by 3:30.

Let me know if you do and I might be able to give you the lowdown on whats going on. I'm usually there atleast once a month.

If you do come down bring your tank cuz I wanna find out where them big smallies hide at!

Thanks for the compliments guys! That lake can be a blast to fish and it's only an hour away. I dig the fuegos ALOT!!! I just bought three after selling my chronarch super frees and I'm glad I made the switch. I might buy a viento next since they fit my hand about the same. I also have my eye on the...

15 total. Mostly shorts but had alot of fun trying out my new fuego's. Caught this nice one that I'm guessing 6.5-7lbs. All were caught on my home made finesse jig in 6-10' deep.

Well it looks like I need to start saving my pop cans and pennies! Oh well , it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!

Thanks for the welcome and help! skeeterboy I live about an hour west of springfield in carthage which is also 20 min. east of joplin.

Noob to tackle tour. It's nice to finally find a forum without the bickering that I see on most! I sold all my chronarch's and just ordered a fuego to try. My problem is I just looked at the td steez on japantackle.com and now I want those! :roll: My question is are these good for pitching, skipping...
