Re: Casting rod for 1/8oz Okashira Screw Heads and 3” spark shads

An Aldebaran MGL with Sniper 7lb.

Agreed on the reel score, think I might give the new Alphas Air TW a try also

Casting rod for 1/8oz Okashira Screw Heads and 3” spark shads

Looking for a casting rod for 1/8oz Okashira Screw Heads and 3” spark shads. Tried the P5 Bait Finesse but the tip to me anyway doesn’t seem to be in tune with this bait to cast very well. Was thinking one of the following so if you have one, I would appreciate you letting me know how they fish as w...

Megabass Phase 3 F2 60x Cliffhanger / Criffhanger

Hi folks, Looking for a bottom contact bfs rod. I like the P5 Pop X Stick for bfs moving baits as it has a more parabolic action / regular taper. Obvious choice would be to get a carbon head or P5 Criffhanger / Cliffhanger (not sure on the translation) but I have fond memories of the P3 blank in gen...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

P5 Bait Finesse is a slightly faster taper than the Carbon Head Hein. I picked it up for smaller jerkbaits and drop shot as the drop shotting I do is more casting than vertical

No plans to use it however, for a Keitech jig with small trailer though. I use the Cyclone for that

Expride 6’10M vs Oneten Special

Happy New Year to you all. Hoping you can help me sort out a mystery that has been puzzling me all season. I fished these two rods side by side, I couldn’t catch a fish on the Oneten Special while the Expride plenty. Same line and 110, cast into the same spot even. Ultimately, it comes down to whate...

Re: Megabass Crankbait Rod

What would folks use to throw an OSP Blitz EX DR on ? It gets down to around 12’ but it’s small at 2” and only weighs 7/16oz which makes me wonder if the new P5 Z Crank Elsiel could in fact handle it.

Re: Punching Rods....Help me find the one.

8ft Evergreen Combat stick. It was modeled on that old Steez. Might not be as refined but good bang for the buck

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

Sadly the F7-70X Tequila Baccarac is not the Frog rod for me. It’s got a great action to walk the frog but not land the fish. I’ve spent two very frustrating days now hooking into fish but not landing them. Never had that before with a frog. Normally when they are stuck, they are coming into the boat.

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

I also love the Bait Finesse with an Aldebaran. Covers all my “smaller” options when days are tough. Quick Walker for top water, Vibration X Jr Lipless and 110 jr for Jerkbait. Threw a Senko weightless and Neko rigged great. Blade is just a lovely Chatterbait, Spinnerbait and Swimjig rod with a Lews...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

I wouldn’t hesitate, great rod. That tip is special, super sensitive. I got it for skipping docks but I’m liking it for general weightless Senkos too. I was casting down to a 4” Senko, catching dinks off the dock even without problems. Balances nicely on an Exist.

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

That’s it, sorry phone typing. Sliding weight and bead all the way to the hook with something like a swimming Senko

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

Looking to give the Bait Finesse a try with Vibration X Jrs and Ball Heads / 3” Spark Shads. If it performs nicely with these then it could be as the name suggests, truly an all round bait finesse rod as sensitivity with a 5” weightless Senko was good. Going to give the Wind Buster a try to do somet...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

I ended up buying 5 and it could easily be more if I find buyers for the Exprides, Conquest 844c MBR and GLX 893 Spinning I have for sale. Firstly, these rods are a work of art and super comfy to fish. I’m trying out Kayak fishing so the shorter lengths are welcome too. I have traditionally fished a...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

Similarly if anyone has fished the Daiwa AGS 7’1” Heavy Fast against the X Bites for 5/8oz jigs and a chunk.

Quite happy with what I’ve got but these P5’s are tempting.
