  1. Thanks for the responses guys. Ended up returning my zillion to TW because no matter how much I use it and what way I use it, there seems to be resistance coming from inside the reel, almost like your dragging a weed. Because I had a little extra cash with the return of the reel, I decided to order a Lews Team Lite reel. 5.4 ounces!! Should be here Wednesday. This particular reel has the cork/EVA handles so it takes away the reason why I wasn't buying Lews, due to their old handles. Hoping to break it in this weekend.

  2. Being that I am on the hunt for the perfect reel, and that I love testing out different baitcast reels, what is everyone's favorite baitcast reel they own? Do you run one specific brand or do you have a bunch of different ones? I know a lot of guys like their Shimanos. Originally when I bought my curado e series I thought it'd be the reel I buy multiple of and stick with. However, I don't think that's going to be the case. Although it is an amazing frog reel for me with superior cast distance, the thumb buttons/bail always seem to give me problems on my shimano.

    I also have a abu Garcia revo S gen3 which I have been using as back up for 3 years and has been a workhorse, but doesn't have the best cast distance. Intermittently I use a Lews Speed spool, and they are fantastic reels but I'm not a fan of the handle shape. I have recently bought a 13 fishing concept A which I haven't tested out yet due to weather, and a Diawa zillion tws which is smooth as butter, but gets scratched up so easily. I'm looking at the quantum smoke, and the revo STX. Eventually my goal is to convert to one brand and stick with it, as I run Fenwick rods on all my reels.

    What do you fellow bass guys use?

  3. Water is super low. I have taken drastic measures and have been driving around with a paddleboat in the back of my truck for the past week because it's too shallow to launch my boat anywhere lol. Although, I watched a guy with a 20+ deep v with a 2 axle trailer pull out after a day on the lake on Sunday night. He had to coast in with the engine up though. Don't quote me, but Onondaga lake looked doable for a launch. Definitely better than otisco. Hoping this rain will boost up the levels a bit, but until then you can catch me in the paddleboat or from shore

  4. Went to the camp in Canada this weekend and did pretty good. 25 bass in two days of fishing. I'll take it. 17-18" seems to be the average as of late on the smallies. All on spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, and yum wooly bugs on title shot jigs. Here's a couple of the better ones:
