Caught some chunks last weekend..

Core50MG7...These reels have just been excellent for me the last several years. They cast and pitch great, are super smooth, and are really light and feel great. For a budget reel, I'd say the Lews reels have impressed me the most! I have 2 Tourney Pros and they have performed really well. I've been...

Nice choices on the HSTA reels..I had one of those for a long time and it was a great reel for the money for sure.. I feel like a REVO or Zillion would overlap with the duties of your HSTAs...I think the Chronarch E series is your best bet at that price point, and based on what you already own. The ...

Haha, 50/50 on the vote(as of this posting), I'm sure that's helping you out with your decision 8-) I voted 7.9:1, but must add that I voted this way assuming you're going to be using the reel predominantly for just soft plastics and jigs. For these applications, cranking power really doesn't mean m...

... but what are the main differences between the Chronarch E50 and the Scorpion 1000?? Chronarch 50E 1- SA-ARB coated pionion bearing , 1- non coated roller bearing , and 5 standard SS bearings No AR coating on roller inner tube Hareder brass composittion for main and pionion than Scorpion Uses An...

Guys with experience fishing the higher end of Shimano Chronarchs and above and Zillions and above in Daiwa's. I have all core's, chronarchs, and am debating either a Zillion or a Lew's Speed Spool. Will I be dissapointed? Or can the Lew's really hold it's own? I think the Lew's is a really safe be...

Love the handle on my Scorpion 1000xt! Big thanks to Mike for the great product at an awesome price, and excellent service!

Thanks a lot Mike!! I will be giving you a call tomorrow to place an order!

Does it take them a while to respond to emails/inquiries? I emailed them yesterday morning with some questions and haven't heard back yet. Just wondering. I emailed -> support@hawgtech.com. - do y'all know if the stock knobs from a Scorpion 1000xt and core50 will fit this handle if ordered without t...

Didn't tear em up but caught some good ones, had one 6 lbs 5 oz, there's a few pics of her below, and the setup I used to catch her. It's one of my value setups but I love the heck out of it! It's a 7' H Falcon Bucoo paired with a 7.1:1 Lew's Tourney Pro and a 1/2 oz Stanley double willow spinnerbai...

Thanks for all the help. I went with the Vision 110, Pointer 78, and deep Xrap. I'm taking a 4-day trip to Toledo Bend this coming week and I plan on fishing these quite a bit. I'll report back with my results. Can't wait!

You'll need at least 3, you'll want a smaller profile bait like a Pointer 78, then a vision 110, and an X-Rap deep diver. The reason for the deep diver being an x-rap inseadt of a pointer or staysee is the water color, fairly clear but not gin clear, that water is perfect for the x-rap as even the ...

So I've never really fished a a jerkbait before and I'm taking a trip up to Toledo Bend next week for 4 days and I plan on trying it there. I know people catch them on jerkbaits there and the water is fairly clear, so it should work. Looking for some advice on what jerkbait I should go with to give ...

Felt a LOT smoother than the Curado G6 and it SEEMS a little tighter than my Curado E's.

I wish it was all white instead of the black accent.

I think I need a new Crucial for it...

20% off? Rebate? Where?



Justin

Thanks Johnny! I look forward to the report.
