That Okuma X Series, when you compare specs, looks to be very similar to the Expride, but the X Series is on sale for just above $200 on tackle warehouse right now and has a lifetime warranty

@caseysaunders213711 ай бұрын
Nice overview. A couple things come to mind that I learned from others. 1) Ike shared an idea on putting a ned bait on a compact jig with the skirt trimmed to the bend on the hook, aka "ned jig". 2) Save some $ on buying ned baits by buying a large BULK bag of Senko type baits. Cut to 3-4" size with scissors. It may not have as much secondary action but gets the job done. Food for thought !

I love getting new ideas of baits from you guys. I fish extremely pressured and clear water so every little advantage I can get helps. I have a G. Loomis IMX-PRO 831S NRR for neds with a Shimano Twin Power 2500SHG with 5lb Power Pro braid. I'll be switching between 6 and 7lb fluorocarbon leaders. I think if I decide to upgrade my rod eventually, I'll get the NRX+ 821S.
