Re: need help with reels selection

Re: Cumulus, don't hear much about them.

I've been using the 7'1"/Core 51 combo for 1/4oz T-rigged 6" Fat Roboworms, in light cover, and I am super happy. No problems here. 8-)

The Calais 100 is a perfect crankin' reel...but, then again, so is the Conquest 100. 8-)

Re: Spro's Little John MD Crankbait

Another fan here. They really do seem to get bit when most other baits will not. As mentioned, they cast very well into the wind.

I bought a Pop X last year and the performance on my regular topwater popper gear was terrible. I threw it on a Gloomis 783C IMX with 14lb Fireline and a Shimano Crucial 6'8' mediu...
