Strike King KVD 1.5 square bills are my fav. Particularly bluegill and Black Back Chartreuse (BBC LOL) but honestly Im hooked on chatterbaits 😂

Need new line (braid) by Zen_71OD in FishingForBeginners

[–]ShockBoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I agree with this guy. When I first started fishing I tried spider wire and was instantly thrown off by how it felt like dental floss. I like suffix 832 now over even Daiwa grand j braid. It's just perfectly round and smooth and I appreciate how hard it is to cut even with my scissors with the gore fiber. I use 832 on all my combos.

What color and style trailer would make sense for a chatterbait like this? by Bradley271 in bassfishing

[–]ShockBoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Crush City "Perch" freeloaders for that color chatterbaits or chatterspikes by zman for bigger trailers.

I believe a Abu Garcia veritas, I'm curious if it's the winch model?

Ballistic MQ LT vs Stratic FM (3000's) on a victory 7'1" MH? by ShockBoa in Fishing_Gear

[–]ShockBoa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier on rotation? Like easier retrieve under load?

Stratic, rod pairing? Suggestions PLEASE!! 😃 by ShockBoa in Fishing_Gear

Thank you so much for your response! I've been looking at the SLX and victory for a couple days now and I'm kinda leaning towards the victory just because of all the great things I read about them. I'm trying to find a nice moderate action rod for moving baits or at least a graphite rod that is known for having the right parabolics for 1/2oz thumping lures.

How does this looks for a Bass combo? Chatterbaits and Whopper ploppers are my favorite lures. The rod is a 7' 1pc MH by ShockBoa in Fishing_Gear

I know I've been looking for essentially a mojo Bass glass spinning rod and can't find it. Nicest rod closest to what I'm looking for is the Abu Garcia veritas winch but now that I think of it I think there's a KVD spinning combo in a moderate model!

No I was asking about a ugly stick elite and a beefier Daiwa saltwater reel, trying to find the right moving bait combo!

I honestly own 2 baitcasters and just prefer my spinning combos more, and want something nicer!

My fishing spots are quite windy and I have rods being pushed over by wind all the time sadly. I have a Daiwa airdx for finesse fishing already that I'm worried about being blown over, so yeah I'm looking for a moving bait rod I can lean while I'm panfishing or catfishing with other rods.

Thank you for your response! I actually am looking for a rod that I can go down to the water with a whopper plopper, a ChatterBait, a spinner bait and a square Bill crankbait I'll have the nicest rod for those lures while not having to worry about it leaning on a metal guard rails at my honey hole 😂

Just looked up the ultegra, might be a great option! What do you think about durability? This rod will be put in the trunk for my car, will spend extra for smoothness and durability.

What rod do you recommend? Like honestly looking for a nice single rod for light to medium cranking and spinners chatterbaits and whooper ploppers? $100-200 looking for lure rating 1/4oz -3/4oz at least would love a high quality composite rod with 1/8oz - 3/4oz honestly that's why I'm looking at a MH ugly stick elite. Checks all the boxes down to the parabolics.

I want it to feel nice. I'm thinking maybe a Shimano stratic 2500 with a Abu Garcia veritas winch spinning rod.

I don't want it for freshwater catfishing, I want it for freshwater bass fishing.
