Great timing because I have several small mag drafts that I was going to get rid of but now I’ll keep them and try and see how it goes. The thing with the mag draft line up is having a slow retrieval
Real slow and I don’t think I have too many 6.3 or lower geared reels

If you change your mind on those Magdraft...let me know :D

And you're telling me that with all the tackle you have, you don't have a 6.3 sitting around :lol:

I had responded to this thread but forgot to hit submit...lol lol
i will definitely let you know on the mag drafts for sure.. i went out today for a few hours and i was chopping ( learning how to use different baits. ) on the retrieve and i saw with my own eye this behemoth swimming along side the swimbait.
it was so hurtful... i am glad i saw it but at the same time sad too..


I may use a px reel for the smaller MD
and I discovered a Designo rod flaw the guides are off to the left so that was that too.
