The Baby Plugging is SO GOOD for ned rigs. I know these guys aren’t fans of the technique, but it’s a beast at launching those light neds with outstanding bottom feel!

Great video. I’m a big Megabass P5 guy but my favorite Megabass spinning rod is the pre P5 Destroyer Flyssa. Awesome Ned rod and recently discovered it excels at hover strolling too. Second favorite is the Windbuster for free rigging followed by the new Flyssa for Ned’s and grubs. I drop shot with the Landsat and it does that well. I try to explain these rods to a friend and he doesn’t get it. I catch most of my fish by sensing they are there. Probably catch more through the subtle feel then a thump. I can only imagine how many fish I’ve missed with other rods. These rods are so sensitive. It’s corny but I feel in tune with the rods. Planning on adding an Addermine to my arsenal soon.
@adamcaldwell553 Жыл бұрын
I've found the Windbuster paired with the Shimano Twin-Power 3000 spooled with 12lb. braid to 10lb. / 12lb. Flourocarbon leader. The Flyssa plays well with the Shimano Exsense 3000. Spooled with 19lb. braid and 8lb. Flourocarbon leader. I bought both rods from the Hook Up Tackle shop and your videos got me into fishing both rods! THANKS!!

Awesome video break down. I’ve been testing the Flyssa for a few months. It’s an awesome fun rod. I struggle with a drop shot on it. However, throwing tubes on it have been amazing on hook up for bass fishing. With the cold season coming up soon and trout plants starting here in Cali. I’m excited to test small swim baits and jigs on it. 🤘

The grip on the spinning rods is perfection for any technique where the tip is pointed up, but horribly uncomfortable when trying to work the rod tip down. That being said I never use spinning for tip down techniques so it’s a non-issue

This video made me sad. I broke my Whippet a couple of weeks ago on a large fish that dove straight down under my kayak when I tried to net it, snapping the rod in the process. Then last week I got into a car accident on the way back from fishing and my Baby Plugging and Windbuster were destroyed 😢 At least my Flyssa and Addermine survived. I agree though, those five rods are great. Really love the Addermine for little EWG jig heads rigged with little plastics. The other P5 I really like is the Kirisame Kameyama. I like it for pitching and skipping weightless plastics under docks and over hangs. I recently started throwing back glides with it since I can open the bale and let the bait slide way up under there.
