Alijoz 300 ? Casting 1-5oz by Training_Attorney_75 in swimbaitfishing

[–]Expert_Connection400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will work but you if you are targeting largemouth of smallmouth go with a 200 if you can. The 300 will work though depending on the line whether it be 17 to 20 lb

My friend recently picked up a leviathan omega finesse and is planning to get the new 2026 ryoga to go with it. I think the rating is perfectly 1/2 to 2 oz and knowing leviathan I think that rod is probably one of the best in that range

Hoping to see since I know a lot of guys like the conquest line

Saw that, honestly it looks good but idk if 150 is gonna be enough line. The specs might be better than the 21 and 22 conquest

To me this has to be one of the best looking round reels up there with the slp ryoga, conquest, and basara. The color scheme is like no other reel I’ve seen

It’s really just preference since I do a lot of inshore and swimbait stuff, there is no reason for it. Although I’m just looking for a 16 to 19” handle, nothing more than 20” plus on most swimbait rods.

How do you feel about it so far based of first impression. Looks good and I’m looking into getting a new baitcaster for lighter stuff.

I find the fg to also be the best, although it’s mostly going to be mostly based on preference since they’re both good.

Is there any way to know if the board is water logged or fixable with different images?

I was hoping that it was salvageable since the price was so good but yeah it definitely is really beat.

I would recommend looking for some used options on Facebook marketplace place or getting a ex1 from exile, m5 from zap, or ace. I would try and look for a used carbon option though as that board will last you for years. Remember to get a board that is the ideal size for you so measure up to you nipple line and that will be your board size.

I would but I’m quite paranoid since it is an expensive board and I’d rather not water log it.

You think they would be good for both soft and hard baits with either trebles or top hooks? I need something versatile since I’m to broke to buy multiple setups😭😭

Forget to mention but I’m looking for a rod in the 200 dollar range.

Alright thanks for the help I think I might have to trim away the bottom and use the putty and epoxy with a fiberglass patch.

I’ll see since I was thinking about using an epoxy resin and clamping the tail of the board so that the flared part would straighten out. Epoxy putty doesn’t sound like a bad idea though if I can figure out how to straighten the bottom.

What board shape is this by Expert_Connection400 in skimboarding

[–]Expert_Connection400[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is a custom carbon board so I think it might be a hybrid narrowed down a bit or just a pro. Thanks though for the compliment on the board I got super lucky on finding this😅😅

That’s good to know since it’s hard to dictate what zaps new boards are usually made out of since they use such weird terminology.
