This is what I was looking for.Looks like a good combination . I know that real rocks have one. Thanks for the info.

Great explanatory video here, especially about the vertical and horizontal line time

Bought 7 rods 6 6 and 7 1 mh fast action casting rods. They all came unglued and st croix sent me the new model free of charge

Just ordered the perfect pitch to pair with a Shimano chronarch MGL. Can’t wait til spring to start throwing frogs on it

Idk man. Suffix isn’t known for distance , a little thin and rigid, cortland masterbraid- 4x curier braid for froggin and top water a 4x is way more practical, casts further, smoother, less memory, doesn’t get hung up on grass as much. 25lb- 50lb is a good rule of thumb but definitely a mono leader if your fishing open water, braid has the tendency to wrap around the trebles on the cast, which could spoil your shot at a big bass or even a kicker bass or a bass of a lifetime- either way it’s a missed opportunity, you can avoid that by using a 12-24 inch mono liter, what mono also does is stretch.. which if your in sync with your twitching of a walking bait and popper, you can kinda get the line to assist in better and faster walking action- even wider action with the stretch that mono provides. Also ANOTHER benefit to using a mono leader (or even floro/copoly- it don’t matter) is hook up ratio, when a bass comes up to bite it and maybe your in the middle of working the bait and the bass barley gets hook, with braid you pull it right from him the second you impart action or set the hook, with mono they can eat it/ swipe at it.. and it should be basic knowledge to let them eat it before you swing, but mono gives the inexperienced angler the advantage of time to hook up, and allowing the bass to eat the bait, get hook, and not worry about the braid messing up any chance of a shot at a big bass. This is borderline terrible advice, especially coming from a so called professional. There should be way more suggestions and applications besides the one and only way YOU throw a treble hook top water, which I’m sorry but you’re doing it incorrect it’s just lazy and your probably frustrated all the time with line wrapping around your hooks and missing fish.

Just added my 3rd Orrochi XX now with this past 6 weeks.. ordered this minutes ago..excited to throw my bladed baits , swimbaits ..have the 7”5 Brallist and the 6”11 Jerkbait special..been super super pleased ..the feel is really nice on the Orrochi XX series !!

Would a 7' 3" heavy/fast Zodias work for a 6" Yrick Shad and a Spro Chad Shad?

Thanks for this. Other videos are like 20 minutes, you have a nice short explanation.

Rod link has error

????????????????what is he saying

Same setup I used last night on a jig hooked into a nice smallmouth got him halfway in got off,I felt the weight never set the hook but did see him at the surface

Where can i purchase this rod??? Any info greatly appreciated!

I love my beat down , but I’m afraid it’s too heavy. This is not a problem in a lot of boats, but I’m running a 90+mph unit and I’m afraid I might be getting some micro fracturing. I have a 16 and 12 inch garmin on it. I might try and look at one of your lighter ones.

What reel is that?

The light action ones have flex profile as close to parabolic as you will find among light rated casting rods. There is definitely more bend in the middle, even when fighting smaller fish. To me, thats a good thing, rods with more flex closer to the handle will transmit vibration to your hand better than fast or extra fast actions.

Thanks, great info. Awesome idea with the bobber stop

so would a 7'3 heavy rod w a 8.3.1 gear ratio w 20 ib braid be good for buzzbaits

Good vid, but the price of these higher end blades that are pretty much guaranteed to get snagged is too high.

Damn right the hooks are sharp. Had one go right through my thumb.

Forward facing sonar now the fish have no reprieve from anglers and fish can be spotlighted and harassed until they bite just like at the last Guntersville tournament where everyone was pulling in 30 lb stringers bc they don’t care about the bass or the generations of people after them they just want the profits of a tournament. These large stringers don’t impress me at all I would be much more impressed with the guys that learn techniques to find and get them to bite from before FFS so basically yeah guys using FFS aren’t really fisherman they’re just cheaters. And I have a garmin head unit on my boat that can use it but I’m good with just my depth finder and looking for structure and half the time that’s not worth a hoot either.

... Used one yesterday, Maryland, water temp- 41" surface. Unlike some other blade baits that may take a short distance to feel the vibration when jigged, this lure does vibrate INSTANTLY when lifted. Thanks . Jeff .

What spinning rod does Seth use?

Is this a all season technique? New to the Midwest SM

Hello can you ship out to Europe ? I'm looking for this perfect pitch Levante

Made in Canada where I am from. These are unbelievable for bass and walleye. Easy to rig and durable.

Does the indicated diameter correspond to the real one?

Beautiful

This guy is the worst tour guide ever. I wanted to punch him in the face 30 seconds into the video. Still love the rods, though.

Whats the size difference between the 300 and 400 TWS models?

If I were to get either the power finesse or worehorse witch one should I get i would use it for everything

In my opinion, better than the MagDraft for delta striper.

Does the larger size actually help you pick up line faster? The 2500xh has 6.1 gear ratio, fixing it a retrieve rate of 34.5"/crank, where the 3000 is only 31.6". Honestly, that's the only thing holding me back from buying one (though I'm not sure how much 3" really matters)

Im wanting to get a new topwater setup and a new texas rig setup, out of these three reels what would choose for topwater and for texas rigging?

Hola. Super funny right?!

Would you recommend this rod for Bonito and Blue fish fish? Will it take the abuse or I’m pushing it? I’m using a spinning reel at this point and want to pair it up with my Stradic C5000XG. Or should i go for Megabass Levante JP F5-72LV. Please advise thanks

What are the differences between steez sv and steez a? If I want to flip / punch which one would you use? Thanks

The difference in preferences among anglers is wild. I'm the total opposite kf the power fishing jig guy in that I want the tiniest amount of stretch, more than braid, but less than Stren lol. I just find the stretch delays the hookset when there's a lot of line out. If i ever want stretch it's on the real close slams where the stretch absorbs some of the intial strike cuz i like a tighter drag to start. Once im hooked up i can adjust.

This line is slow sinking?

Magdraft thief...

I like to use conventional reels for them official a lot of stripers but that's just what I use heavy rod 66

I have 8 victories,,love them, Can i use this one for small crankbaits?

I got my first neds. I got pre rig weedless to try out 8 lbs monofilament or 10 lbs monofilament line with a medium power spinning rod. Let see how good they are for me. Thank you for the help.

All of my spinning rods are St.Croix. One of the things I’ve always loved about St.Croix in the spinning department is the variety of blanks. Take the 7’10” ML Victory Crosshair for example. None of the other high end manufacturers were offering a rod with those specs when it was introduced. They probably still don’t. I got so excited when I saw that and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. As soon as I unsheathed that rod and held it out and gave it a test shake, I fell head over heels in love w it. It does what it was meant to do perfectly, which is to throw light hair jigs a mile but it also excels in several other finesse bass fishing applications. I currently own two and I’ll be getting another. I’m certain that it’s been a resounding success as they have expanded these blank specs to several other lines. If you’re particular about your spinning rods and want to step away from the cookie cutter offerings by most every other manufacturer, look no further than St.Croix.

Feelin pretty cranky

I guess technically its a pencil popper/walking bait, first experience throwing one today and things tit city

@xueyuan1 0 seconds ago with only one rod out, how to quickly exchange between texas rig and swimbait/lure? This bothers me for long time. Thanks!

Interesting idea and I can totally see why it would work Im gonna have to give thay a shot next rare occassion that Im using plastics to fish. Ive always been more into using topwater lures, crankbaits and especially jerkbaits, and inline spinners but Ive been trying to get into jigging more. My Grandpa was the king of catching largemouth bass and his go-to was an earth green crawdad jigged as slowly as possible. Ive seen him catch so many bass using those I couldnt have possibly kept count. He caught one that was just a few ounces shy of the State record but it was out of a private pond so it wouldnt have counted anyway.

Excellent information. There is one technique professional anglers do that simply is hard for me to perform. When a professional angler changes line size to change the depth range of a bait is difficult. Bass change depths during the course of the day. The sun comes up, with wind changes, the clouds go overcast, the angler moves to another part of the lake. All these factors affect the depth of the lure. Changing out line, is a slow costly procedure. I wonder is it just easier to change out preloaded reels. Each reel has its ratio and predetermined line.
