Re: Favorite Discontinued Hardbaits?

I remembered another one, Heddon Spit n Image Jr. They discontinued Jr size, and it was a better bait than the slightly bigger one that they still sell. I don't remember if the one I have is a Jr. or not. It's 2 1/2 inches and 1/4 oz. The Jr is about 3", and a little over 1/4oz, I think. The bigger...

Re: Salt free trailers

look into getting some custom baits made, there is a ton of bait makers in some groups on facebook that would be willing to help! personally i never put salt in my baits, its used by the big bait brands as a filler, its cheaper than plastisol and also weakens the baits, making them less expensive t...

Re: Megabass 2023 Orochi X 10 rods

I know it's sacrilege to some, but a Conquest DC would look amazing on one of those sticks.

waiting for someone to create an actual dedicated ice fishing casting reel...but not like the 13 tear drop dead weight. :mrgreen:
I've been using an older Calcutta 51 on my MH and H ice fishing rods with great results. 8-)

Re: Finesse plastic/jerkbait rod

In my hands it's mod-fast with a good backbone. If I could only grab two sticks it would be the X4 BE and the X4 Destruction....if that helps.

I wish I had experience with the Spec R.

I have the '17 model on a first generation Steez Compile-X heavy, and I really like it for long casts presenting larger t-rigs.

Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods

I was able to use the C73H-SV・ST, I have to say it's all over the NRX+ 873 CRR, to myself it's just as sensitive as my Black Raven Extreme, just much more powerful and longer. I threw a few baits and was impressed by it's versatility, it can easily throw a spinner bait then turn around and throw a ...
