30 or 40 pound braid for me. You need the braid when fishing around vegetation that's rooted to the bottom. I've personally never felt the need to bump up to 50 or 65 pound braid, but even at those...

I would definitely think so. A Curado DC is $270, so for $30 more you could get the Metanium DC which has the better (in my opinion) I-DC5 braking system plus the refinement of the high end...

This does make sense for some of the electronics and I know they came out with a new, smaller Metanium DC, so that makes sense as well. Is Lowrance coming out with a new version of the Ghost...

I've noticed lately that I'm getting more emails and seeing more sales from places (and sometimes big sales on items you don't normally see for sale). Omnia had Metanium DC reels on sale for $200...

He'll probably make up that $2500 and then some just in ad revenue by posting a video about his DQ to his various social media platforms.

Thanks for the info guys. The tail winds up accounting for a good bit of length which is why I wondered if it was included in the overall length. A 5" glide is small already, but if you figure that...

For those that have used these, I have a couple questions about the Minnow and the B1. The Minnow is listed at 5" and B1 at 6"...is this length including the brush tail or is this just the body...

If you're going with Lew's, the Pro SP would be your best option in my opinion. I just got one and have only used it once, but you can tell it's a workhorse reel and made for heavy cover fishing. ...

Thanks, I'll try that.

Figured I'd give an update. Wound up weighting as a whole and was shocked at how it only took me two test runs to get the weight just right (did a glide bait a while back and I think it took me a...

Depending on how many shots you are taking, make sure to come back around and swing the first driver again towards the end of the session since you will see a difference in swing speed when you are...

Thanks for the picture, that helps a lot. I cut the joint, drilled the holes for the line tie, hook hangers, and joint, and put 2-part epoxy on it last night and let it rotate on the lure turner...

Thanks for the info. I've made a handful of glide baits (2-piece) over the last year or so, but they are always one-off's and I just tend to make one when I'm bored. I've only made one or two that...

It was rainy out last night and there wasn't anything on TV worth watching, so I sat down and worked on cutting, carving, and sanding a glide bait body. I still have a lot of work to do with cutting...

My bad...thought the spot right below and behind the eye was an indentation for the placement of the eye.

This is what I use. It stretches to a good 2 1/2 to 3 feet before it flips the kill switch.
...

It looks like a bandit in shape, but the bandit cranks don't have the indent for gluing eyes on since they paint the eyes on (it looks like in the photo that the sticker-type eye is out of place,...

Good to know, thanks.

I was planning to go with 15lb 832 braid since I've got a spool of that at home.

Just wondering if a 10 or 15 pound braid will work ok on the Zillion G? I've used straight 8 pound flourocarbon on it with no issues, but flouro doesn't dig in on the spool the same way that light...

If you were only given one color choice for a soft plastic bait, there would probably be a majority consensus that green pumpkin would be the most versatile soft bait color. But what about hard...

I saw this article today about a possible new state record Blue cat being caught in Ohio. I'm thrilled for the young lady who got it, and she genuinely seems to enjoy the outdoors, so that's awesome...

Yeah, it took me losing several baits in the past before I realized that the kinking or pinching of the flouro was weakening the line in that spot and causing the snap-offs. And maybe I've just been...

That is true Mark.

So far it's a consensus, so my next question would be, do you then use straight flouro or mono? Because I would think that if you use braid-to-leader you would still run into the same issue with the...
