Loomis GLX popping rod and MB c40 Elsiel spinning.

How did you face the hooks? For tuna its usually done that the hook points are towards each other. I might give it a try. It should be a better ratio for landing fish right?

I just replaced hooks on some of my other cranks. Looking at the S Crank, the front hook closest to the bill is much larger than the back hook. Not sure if that could cause to snag more. I didn't replace the hooks though on the MB lures. Gonna test them out first to see how effective is the design. ...

I don't know if it was suppose to deflect the way I was expecting to. I cast it past a log and it was probably already 3-4ft under the surface already then it tried to go over a log about 1ft under the surface. Now thinking about it, it was a dumb move. I am new to cranks/squarebills so deflecting o...

Just got my rod in. Gonna take it out tomorrow. Hopefully the bass are hungry.

I lost 2 swimming over a log! Caught 3 smallies though. I don't know if I'm excited I caught fish on the lures ir that I actually landed all 3.

Small squarebills 3\8 and a bit heavier. I get a good hookset, loosen my drag, but half ways to the boat the fish comes off. Not even big fish either.

Just got some 1.2 and 1.5's in the other day. Can't wait to get them wet. I'll update the status.

I won't buy lower end rods anymore because eventually (next buy) will be a flagship rod. Currently for jerks, I'm using a GLX popping rod, Megabass Arms Elsiel, Megabass c40 Elsiel spinning. All those I've been losing fish. I'm going to try replacing my hooks also but I think the rod will make the m...

What's your opinion? Thinking about ordering one because I been losing alot of fish with my regular jerkbait rod.

Nothing but good things from them.

Who's fished these?

They look great and I have a few on order. I'm pumped to get them. Gotta wait for the shipment from JPangler.

I have both the 12a and 14a. For jigging, depending on how much line you need, the 12a is perfect. I use it for albacore and smaller sturgeons.

Talica all day. I've never fished the Avets though but my Talica handles tuna and oversize sturgeon. I cast it just as well as my Trinidads.

well worth it. I love the wide glide. I use them for stripers and kill them.
