Re: Loomis vs. St. Croix power

St. Croix doesn't have power 2,3,4,5 ratings like Loomis do. They strictly go by UL,L,ML,M,MH,H.
Medium power St. Croix I guess is not similar to Medium power G. Loomis.

Which fluorocarbon # size is more sensitive as far as tran...

Re: Catch me up on the latest FC's please

Sunline hands down!
Gamma is way too thick if you compare same diameter with Sunline.
10lb 0.3mm Gamma vs 0.26 Sunline

Re: vike tackle tungsten

I bought in some different styles.
The only issue, a weight they claim is not accurate - always lower.

Re: TT Shootout : Zillion TWS vs Chronarch CI4+

TWS and free spool looks like as overrated platforms, no distance increase or older Daiwa's been even worse.

Re: Brief Review of 2015 Bass Pro Shops Spring Angler Catalo

Re: Changing hooks on a suspending jerk?

I have same bait, you can put larger and heavier hooks on it, like Owner ST-21 series, they are lighter than ST-36 series, however you have to use floating foam like Zappu Floating Board on it.
