So to sum up all of the above: Anywhere between 18 inches and 30 feet. :laugh:

I think the moral of the story is to try different lengths to see what works for you and your fishing style.

You're probably trimming it too close. I've had that issue with thin braids across the board, but especially those that are "fused" (like the now-defunct Nanofil or Ardent Gliss) or with high...

I really, really like the Powell Endurance CB rods for this. Perfect action, incredibly lightweight, overall just a joy to fish and at a great price of $150. Both the 705 CB and 755 CB are...

The screw lock keepers are notorious for that! Easier to rig straight and your baits last longer, but the hook point is aimed parallel with the body of the worm so that a hookset pushes the point of...

The white powder on the inside and transparent parts at the hook hangers scream Norman to me. No idea what model, currently digging to see if I can find one that matches now :laugh:

Current best...

I removed one out of my old Ranger with a 2x4, different than I expected to do it though. It was exactly the same business not understanding how people do it with lack of space. I spent a while...

While they're great reels, I don't think any of the Daiwa SV (and I assume Shimano DC--I haven't used them) suggestions fit the bill for casting distance. I love my Zillion SVs and Tatula SVs, but...

I don't know that it's a case of them being designed with teasers in mind. I've had no issues with 3 1/8 oz and 2 1/4 oz (with the 1/4 oz on the bottom) and didn't have any issues with it wanting to...

Or you could use a plain swimbait hook / bare jig hook for the top ones.

I always used black RTV on my old Ranger. Never had any issues there.

I think Vault uses Loctite, so that would probably work too.

Those look awesome, Basshunter! I've spent a lot of time tying flies and jigs in the past, I'm willing to bet you make achieving that look waaay easier to accomplish than it is in actuality! :laugh:

They don't work. I've tried them extensively, and they suck. Do NOT throw them.

:smile:

Same for me! Prevents issues with a knot getting stuck in a guide under load if you have a fish that surges at the boat, and they cast a lot better through the guides when the cast already has some...

I'm with Dave...I throw what I throw because they make the right sound and work. For me, a War Eagle is usually my go-to. Yep, I break them from time to time. But it's worth it to toss one out...

Like mentioned above, I usually have a harder time skipping with a heavier powered rod. If you can do it without any ill effects, seems like a good plan! Assuming you're going same brand/model...

This! Though I'd go with only the bottom 2. Or if you need to get it deeper, use heavier heads on the bottom 2 than the rest. Something like 1/8 on the top 3 and 1/4 on the bottom 2 should do the...

Anything with a keeper on the shank of the hook.

I don't like heads with a screwlock as I think they eat up your hook bite and orient the bait so that the point wants to go parallel with the...

I use the Orvis knot when tying on my hook, it also has a tag that points at the hook.

...and before you make fun of me for using such a simple knot, try it and do a comparison between it and...

I would think of them the same as any other "generic" LiFePO4 battery: Likely identical to the name brands at 1/3 the cost, but also likely without a usable warranty. That has been good enough for...

As far as I can see, only 1/2 oz, at least as of now. If the Megabass Jamaica Boa is any indication (and I suppose the only reason it would be is that it is also a high-end buzzbait from a JDM...

I have only used 1 set of the CFX ones -- you're right, the cores on those are different. They remind me much more of an EVA foam or something like that. It doesn't surprise me that they would be...

Super cool, Mark. Thanks for sharing!

I haven’t had a chance to try any of the soft touch grips yet (mostly because I’m too cheap), but I absolutely love the raw carbon fiber grips. I leave them raw (I would strongly suggest not coating...

Black.

If I had to go with my second choice, it'd be black too.

As for type...I'm a fan of the Jackall Kaera, Jackall Gavacho, Terminator Walking Frog Jr.

Wanted to dig this one back up, because Teckel has just re-released this bait as the MaxQueaker! https://www.instagram.com/p/C5bf_MBLDri/

Looks like The Hook Up is...
