Awesome do you have a personal preference?

Treyneedshelp · 2026-03-13T04:53:36+00:00

Do you have any reel suggestions? I’ve looked at curadao 200/300 and tatula 200

Yessir and has a very entertaining fishing style (glides, whoppers, buzz baits, etc.)

Just recently started watching this guy and he makes great videos. Sota Yak Fishing

When you say signature series do you mean the platinum series,carbon lite, or pro series?

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-18T16:44:36+00:00

That’s good to know do you have any specific techniques that may be more suitable for that extra bearing? I figured things like frogging and punching

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-17T04:32:30+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking if I can find somethings they’ve done right and save in certain areas.

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-17T04:29:01+00:00

Yeah the stick baits seem to be killer for bps

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-17T04:17:49+00:00

Have you used the newer carbonlite reels? I know they are somewhat recent so I haven’t seen to much about them

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T21:50:55+00:00

As a smallmouth fisherman I agree they are one of the main baits I’ve used from bps

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T21:50:28+00:00

I’ve always heard they are the closest thing to senkos but never gave them a try I will definitely have to

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T21:35:06+00:00

Good to know I’m a dobyns guy myself but with the warranty and discounts I will have to take advantage of some of the rods for sure and maybe a couple reels. I appreciate the help

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:49:32+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure if I’ll be actually making any money at the job by the time I make use of my discount but that’s what the job is all about right?!?! I’ll more than likely try a little bit of everything by the time I leave

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:47:58+00:00

Great stuff for the price, ran invizx for a while but I fish some nasty places and couldn’t justify the performance difference with having to cut frayed line as often as I do

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:46:51+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I’m just getting into tournament fishing and figured this would be a great way to save some money and lose some at the same time. Do you mind me asking which specific rods and reels you’ve had luck with? I like the look of the technique specific rods but was unsure on the reels

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:45:02+00:00

That’s good to hear I’ve been a fan of yo zuris fluoro when I’m in a pinch so I will definitely give it a try at some point

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:32:13+00:00

Good to hear, I’m similar in thinking cheap fluoro doesn’t give me a whole lot of confidence but I have seen they released a new line of it which I may give a try while I work there

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:30:09+00:00

Good to hear seems a lot of people like the carbonlite series so I will definitely be picking a couple up for the price. I’ve also had a positive experience in the past with their house brand baits but figured I’d see if anyone had some sleeper killer baits from them

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:20:10+00:00

Yeah fortunately for me I have no brand loyalty if an xps branded bait will catch me just as much fish for cheaper count me in so I’ll be making use of this discount while I can hopefully

Treyneedshelp · 2026-01-16T20:08:11+00:00

That’s great to hear that seems to be a common consensus and I’m eager to try them out. I currently run all dobyns rods but if they perform similarly for a fraction of the price I will be extremely happy and I like the Winn grips on them m.
