Spinning or casting rod? If it is a spinner could the bail assembly that feeds the line onto the spool be the issue or have a rough spot? Have you tried line from a different spool to rule out a possible bad spool of line?

There is nothing worse than St Crotch. Absolutely garbage in every way. They have the looks of 70s rods. Trash hook up ratio for their jig rods. I have never lost more fish with any rod. You couldn’t pay me to use anything of theirs. I could care less if it is “Made in the USA”.

This site has always been about the tackle first and foremost, mainly enthusiasts or upper tier equipment. I wouldn’t consider this site dedicated to bass fishing.

Hog is right, it was after a cast

Thanks Alain!

It casts incredibly well baits in that 1/4 to 3/8 oz range such as 1/4 jig with a trailer. https://i.postimg.cc/ZqDHjJHx/0-C81-D793-43-E2-4150-933-E-AA04533-DF375.jpg http...

The color is just awesome especially in natural lighting and now with all the mods that weren’t available during the intitial release: (clicking conversion kits, 7:2 gears, SV, Cosugi, KTF etc spools,) it is a great reel to...

Thanks Jorrick

Happy belated Tim! Those are some dandies!

If you get bored with the orange you can swap out the the engine covers. https://i.postimg.cc/P5sx4qn4/...
