A light braid to hvy leader is standard in saltwater, I use 10 lb braid to a 20-25 lb test leader for almost all of my inshore setups for redfish. The only time I use heavy braid is on my Swimbait rod, I use 30 lb braid to a 25-30 lb leader
What knot do you use?

Re: Bass fishing versatility: stubbornness vs confidence

A very interesting topic. I'm pretty limited, and I'm happy with that. For example, for about 6 years from the late 90s to mid 2000s, I used ONLY topwater baits, mostly poppers and walkers, which are my confidence baits to this day. And, it was fun. In early 90s for 3 or 4 years, I threw jerkbaits ...

Re: What Other Species Have You Caught by Accident?

Love the surprise, as long as it's not in a tournament. The excitement to deflation is too much :-({|= . I don't love the surprise, but I have to admit this. I think it was in May in this year, when I set a hook, I knew it was a 7 or 8 pounder. In 10 or 15 seconds, I knew it wasn't bass. I thought ...

Re: Help diagnosing SV 103 issues

Make sure that your spool and all other bearings are lubed. I use Alchemy Oil Medium Light on all of my SV103 spool bearings and I get good distance with control. They are great for skipping. If you aren't cleaning and lubing your reels regularly, they will feel over-braked and not feel smooth. All...

Re: Help diagnosing SV 103 issues

I have 9 SV103s and have experienced the exact thing to you are talking about on my frog reel. I think it was the shaft bearings. I ended up soaking the and cleaning the anti-reverse and shaft bearing. Took care of my issue. I've had mine for so long I'm considering ordering all new frame bearings ...

Help diagnosing SV 103 issues

I have a 7.9 SV 103 that during a tournament yesterday started feeling like there was binding and resistance while working a frog. When looking at the worm gear, it didn't appear to be anything there. I don't mind cleaning reels, but I guess have been fortunate that I haven't experienced really any ...

What makes your rod company differ from other mainstream companies and being a new company why the high price for an unproven product?

Good to know. I've been running YGK for a couple years and it sinks dreadfully slow.
