Reel_Smooth 0Shape*

Reel_Smooth 0And you'll be in great shap
-
Reel_Smooth 0Honestly @Jacob_newton the gear you have is perfect for what you want to do. The only thing you really have to do is really learn your gear. I would say just go ...more get someone to build you an 8'-9' rod
-
ReelGame Saucedo 0oh yeah @Reel_Smooth way too much @bassinboy01
-
Reel_Smooth 0@bassinboy01 @ReelGame you guys know exactly who he is talkin about. That overkill green rod for Morgan's point. Lol!!
-
Reel_Smooth 05oz is all you need. @bassinboy01 is right, its all about the weight set. When a barge passes take off the fish alarm and tighten the line. I promise that line will ...more only move when a fish hits it
-
ReelGame Saucedo 0Yup we 5oz spider weights with no problem there at MP @Jacob_newton i can reach the channel with my Prevail 10' with a Avet MXL the undertow is no problem
-
Jacob Breaux 0@Reel_Smooth @ReelGame and myself throw 5s at the point and never have problems. It's all about getting that weight set
-
Jacob Breaux 0Imo, 12oz is way overkill unless you're yakking out shark baits in heavy current
-
Jacob Breaux 0Can't remember how long the butt is off the top of my head. Bro we use 5oz and never have any problem with any barges or tankers moving out weights. Just gotta ...more set the spider weight correctly
-
Jacob_newton 0I think the guys at morgans were using a cut down 10ft FTU blank too
-
Jacob_newton 0How long did you make the butt of your rod?
-
Jacob_newton 0Just met some guys at morgans who were throwing that weight and the barges were hardley moving it. And they were throwing it a good distance. @bassinboy01
-
Jacob Breaux 09' and 12oz?! You could cut down a 10' heavy FTU but not sure about 12+bait. Why so short for so much weight?
