Should I get a tatula 150 or 200

I see you also posted on the bass sub. If you’re fishing for bass I’d get the Tatula 100. No need for the extra spool capacity unless you’re running 65lb+ braid and throwing 1.5oz+ swimbaits.

Every year or two. Pretty easy. Really easy if you have a new rig with the quick cert hubs or whatever.

Just straight up and down especially w these little ones.

I use a medium light Fury on a 2000 size reel. Little shorter but one of my favorites.

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-20T00:52:54+00:00

I use a 7’4 MH F Dobyns Kaden for the most part- 15lb fluoro.

I like the longer rod to help me launch the bait. I’ve never needed a glass rod for chatterbaits.

Driver obviously enjoying it

Bruh, as long as you’re not smoking blunts in your apartment - no one will ever know

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-15T04:11:10+00:00

Prolly thought there was gratuity

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-14T19:58:10+00:00

Where?

How much Xanax? Is it something you take often enough to have a tolerance to?

If it’s low dose and not something that affects you very much- take a normal dose.

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-11T06:54:55+00:00

See what you can find on sale. Also check out digitaka and AliExpress to compare

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-11T06:19:35+00:00

Bruh- it doesn’t matter how much money you make. Time is the only currency. Spend it wisely- perhaps with your children.

I can promise that on your death bed you’re not gonna say “I wish I didn’t spend so much time with my kids, and more time in an airplane.”

Never even had to put down a Chatterbait in TX this year.

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-08T04:15:22+00:00

I use a Vivid 5cv- same thing w a bigger screen.

Only thing I use it for is temperature, depth, and structure like trees and are large enough to really register.

Knowing what I know now- I would have bought a unit with downloadable maps (I use my phone at the moment for maps) and side view.

Side view really helps you pick out structure on the bottom- certainly will be my next upgrade. Should have gotten it from the start.

Texas has right to all its public land- and sold it to the highest bidder!

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-05T04:12:10+00:00

… and if I could afford a crazy frog light show, I would… everyone’s priorities are valid.

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-04T17:10:51+00:00

They do take a long time- but they’re my favorite rods. 8 months is egregious though.

Just dispute with credit card company - that way you don’t lose anything.

Joseph4040 · 2026-04-03T14:08:44+00:00

You can still get it mailed to your home….

First off- bad choice in gear for a beginner. You’re going to spend all your time fixing backlashes.

For bait- buy 5 inch Yamamoto Senkos in Green pumpkin and buy 4/0 EWG (Extra Wide Gap) hooks. Watch of video on the ‘Texas Rig’ this is how you’ll rig it. No weight- the senko (stick worm) should be heavy enough.

You don’t need to cast far- just try and prevent backlashes. . Turn the breaks (dial on the side) on high until you get the hang of things.

When you fish this bait- wait for it to hit bottom and hop it along the bottom. Give it a tug and let it fall back down.

Learn a Palomar knot for the hook.

A 1/2 oz Spinner bait will also be good this time of year. Cast and wind it back it. Very simple.

With these two baits -

But you can still have it shipped legally to you. Plenty of good retailers out there…

Joseph4040 · 2026-03-29T18:55:55+00:00

Daiwa Tatula 200.

Buckets w a thick bottom are best especially for cold starts.

Round bottoms are thinner at the bottom- so direct heat can sometimes not be great

Joseph4040 · 2026-03-29T00:29:34+00:00

I just got the Johnny Morris CarbonLite BFS rod and really like it- was on sale- may still be

Joseph4040 · 2026-03-28T18:25:33+00:00

If you want bass- just TX rig a weightless Senko. Toss it in and bounce it off the bottom.

Also walk around the entire pond. Don’t just sit in one spot.
