  1. No problem. I will upload pics tonight.
  2. I have a custom 11' Nex1 3-8. Barely used, titanium torzite guides. I can take photos after work this afternoon if you're interested, but I do have the layout used.
  3. Century Stealth S1 seems to be the most similar choice.
  4. The 5.25 Little Neck Popper is easily my favorite plug. 2/0 belly treble with a 6/0 lightly-dressed siwash on the rear for me. I got my supply of tail hooks in the Commercial B/S/T here from NJTramcar.
  5. What knot are you using? Edit: Just saw Uni Knot. Are you moistening it? Possible you are burning the line when cinching it down?
  6. Not that it'd probably matter when your bail is closing, but are you using a Uni Knot with braid? If so, that is a fairly poor knot with braid. Palomar is the standard braid knot, but the doubled Uni Knot (line is doubled) is a great alternative. Although 3 tag ends is a bit strange!
  7. On the tides you are planning to fish, no. It may not be as bad as the video, but it will be mobbed.
  8. "Sorry, I only practice Catch and Release." If they give attitude, just release another right in front of them.
  9. I use the Modified Albright (Alberto), but the FG is the strongest.
  10. I spent a lot of time a few years ago obsessing about the optimal loaded Redfin. I found that 11cc's of mineral oil was the sweet spot for me, with a 3/0 belly and 2/0 tail hook configuration. If you want to load with bird shot or bbs or whatever, aim for making the plug 1.4oz. You could probably go a little heavier to do what you're describing, but hope this helps as a starting point!
  11. Smart to bite the bullet. I originally went the cheap route and it is INFURIATING when the hooks get stuck in the bag material.
  12. I don't think the VR125 would be too small weight-wise, at all. You may want a bigger spool I suppose though. Gosa is a great reel. I'd go with a 6k. 8k is way too big/heavy, imo.
  13. I don't think the Slug-go would even make my top 10 choices.
