  1. please tell me one quality tsunami product..other then the wood lures and the eels....the reels suck....rods are hit or miss....swimbaits catch schoolies but suck and the hooks rust out....i stay clear of tsunami products in general. if your boat fishing get the off shore angler 7 ft gold cup rods...excellent blanks and I beat them to death and they still don't die -- cabela's -- SKU: 2901055 -- heavy 1 - 4 oz...inshore but work excellent for boat/bridge/brute force fishing....good luck.
  2. agree...should never crank the handle to initiate the bail....bad for the reel and worse will introduce slack in the line on the spool and you'll get wind knots....
  3. yes....ginger scotch bonnet....crazy good...also pineapple jalapeno....red savina with a little cane sugar....etc...
  4. weeds also bad where Im at coastal NH....surf is still aggressive as well...good luck.

  6. also mud hole has stuff on you tube with tons of tips like installing cork tape...etc...good luck.
  7. Dunky there is a fly tying club they have a rod building class..this is your best shot assuming this is a go with covid and such...good luck http://www.newenglandflytyers.org/index.php?id=rod-building-course
  8. are black hole blanks autoclaved?

     

  9. put some fresh soba noodle of the bowl and fill up with this awesomeness....crazy good job.
  10. keep both the problem is not the rod trust me....you can confirm this by buying a ugly stick you'll get backlashes....you just need to give yourself time to master...it takes a long time..hang in there.
  11. Also why would you use 6lb of mono backing? Use 30-50 if you get spooled what do you think will happen to your 6lb mono?? lol?? 20 lb braid is very small/thin as a newbie I would go 30lb at the minimum I found 50 lb forgiving but robs you of distance and braid digging in after getting a good fish on is par for the course so after landing a big fish I'll let out 20-30 yards I use a small wooden dowel for this or my water bottle in my backpack pouch. Another good tip is go to a dollar store or ocean state job lot and get a small 12x plastic magnifying glass that and a small needle can help clear out even the nastiest of bird's nests if your patient.
  12. He hit the nail on the head....just turn up your brakes and focus on thumb control....get some baitcaster practice weights at like bass pro shop and put a couple paper plates in a field and practice 1000x of times...it will take a long time once your thumb gets trained you can back off on the brakes. Newbies should start off with a reel that has both centrifugal and mag brakes so you can fine tune/back off the brakes in very small increments....keep at it.

    easy fix you can get bird spikes and install them under the panels they can't set up shop afterward..because they are clear the birds try to land when flying and get a nasty surpise afterwards they get the hint.
  14. Anyone have any opinions about which blank to use for a new surf rod build I can't decide on which blank to pick up.
