Megabass phase 3 f2-60x-criffhanger questions???

Post by Welikan » Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:08 pm

So I'm using a megabass phase3 criffhanger with a pixy 68. 10lb braided line with 8lb fc leader. I love the rod use it for neko, waky, and small jig heads.

The rod feels like it'll snap so I'm wondering if I could use a weightless senko or dolive stick with a size 3 ewg hook on it. I tend to set the hook pretty good on my tx rig/jig set ups so...

I think I just want to make sure they get stuck good so I never really softly hook them if that makes any sense. Plus it just feels so good setting the hook on them hard. Lol
Thanks for any feedback.

As long as you are using a thin wire hook and don't pin the hook too deep you should be fine.

So a regular size 3 ewg hook you'd normally use for a txrig is a no go then.

I’d recommend using a 1/0 or 2/0 with a 4” Senko, be it thin or standard. That’s the setup I’m throwing on my f3-67lv Levante. The 1/0 will work with zoom finesse worms and other 4-4.5” worms.

I got so many regular size 3 hooks but no 2 or 1's. Looks like I'm going to have to hit the tackle shop. Lol Appreciate the info.
