Just got a message from Digitaka, the RH model is in stock, will post a review after I receive it

Has anyone used one of these? I am looking for feedback on the world class or elite casting rods, especially the 7-8 Elite Swimbait rod

I use the tush hook more for swimbaits, but they also have a hover rig hook that I have used for flukes and caffeine shads, the 3/0 1/8 oz hover rig hook is perfect for that

For a used rod I would only want to pay about 50% of new retail

Try the Tush hook from core tackle, they have 2/0,4/0, and 7/0 weighted hooks, you can get them from Tackle Warehouse

So just under 400, if it has a clicking drag then I’m sold….

For me the expensive stuff goes in the house, cheap stuff to the garage

Any good reel will work fine in saltwater, I would stay away from a magnesium frame, but other than that you should be good as long as you clean it thoroughly after using it in the salt

That should never happen to any MG reel, they need to improve their coatings, I have a metanium that I use in salt water all the time and have never had corrosion like that.

I caught a10lb drum on a jig during a club tournament, thought I had a monster bass for a little while...

Just buy the Simms rain gear, its the best on the market

Any idea of price? I have a Conquest BFS and a 100DC so I will probably be buying one of these

I use a FG knot that I tie the night before a fishing trip, but if I’m on the water I use the Alberto knot, it’s much quicker and easier to tie on the water

I remember when I first put braid on a spinning rod, I was able to cast lightly weighted plastics into those cover and not worry about breaking off, as well as not having to deal with line twist

Give Suffix Advance a try, it’s one of the better mono lines out there
