  1. Im in, and thanks!
  2. Thank you, i wish you all nothing but big White perch.... JK Wishing you all tight lines this year!
  3. The kind of reel has some effect to casting distance also. If it has terrible line lay. If you put that same braid on alets say a saragosa sw, you should get some extra distance. As for a rod maybe a more moderate rod,(less stiff)? I have a jigging world Nexus 10' rod and I love using it for pencils up to 2-3oz.
  4. If you just fish off the sandy beaches, just get yourself a nice pair of BootFoot waders like Froggtoggs hellbenders. And wear some comfy socks. Your feet will stay dry. But if you are fishing off the sandy beaches and Jetties, stocking foot waders with some spiked wading boots would be a must. Ive see too many people slip and slide on those rock that are not wearing the correct foot wear. The other good thing of wearing stocking foot waders with wading boots is that its more comfortable to wear and walk the beaches. The only Bad thing of wearing stocking foot waders with wading boots, is that sand...and lots of sand will get in your boot making it uncomfortable. Which is when you will have to stop fishing and take off our boots to empty out the sand.
  5. Thats the beauty of braid. Zero stretch. SO when you are working the pencil, you will definitly feel the lure on every pump of the rod. If you want to see for your self, just lob the lure out to the point where you can see it walk as you pump the rod. After you see what you can do, now cast it out there and repeat. -tight lines
  6. How important are moon phases at the canal when targeting bass? When i was there, some locals say the new moon is best, others say the full moon is best..... I dont know what to believe. Thoughts on this? Thanks
  7. Yea i get that, but just wondering on this design that leaves a gaping hole in the back covered by a piece of plastic.....
  8. I really like how this reel performs. But when I took off the back plate, what is the point to having this exposed???
  9. These are the best to keep the bait fresh and liquid inside. But, if any grain of sand gets on the thread over, it will leak. Gotta be careful not to get any sand on the cover or threads.
  10. Only thing I hated on the reel was the paddle handle, so I changed it to a Gomexus. Already feels a lot better.
  11. Took the reel out this morning and I love it. Caught my 1st ever Cobia!
  12. Just spooled my new stradic FL4000 and compared the weight with my VR50. The VR50 is lighter but damn, this stradic is smoother.
  13. Love TFO rods, i have their Surf rods and the original Gary Loomis designed models, cant say enough good things about those surf rods and their customer service. I Was looking at the TFO Pro rods, Pro S 765-1, is the rod im currently eyeballing on.
  14. Just got my Stradic FL 4000, pretty damn light and buttery smooth. Here's a pic on the reel on a scale before line added.
  15. 5" gulp jerk shad on a .5oz ball 4/0 jig head. 7'6" inshore rod, vr50 with 15lb braid. Retrieve should be super slow with the occasional twitch....been slaying the flukes since I was shown this technique.
