What 5 lures would you use?

Braid and trebble hooks do not place nicely together... but as far as braid is concerned... "there can be only 1"

Daiwa's Samurai Brand is out of this world. We are finishing up a review on this stuff to be released in early spring, but I can share a little info now.

It feels like silk, and it holds up as better any other braid I have tried. I was a big fan of the Suffix Performance Braid, until I tried the Daiwa Samurai... we've been betting the crap out of it in salt water since the summer and it still looks brand new. I don't want to give away too much, but we can't find anything wrong with it... that's not common. Take a look at the specs, the 80 lb braid is 17 lb test diameter. My Favorite is the 55 lb with 10 lb diameter for a baitcaster:

You just have to feel this line to believe it. Oh and it cast a mile and you can tie knots with it like using a warm mono that's been baking in the sun for hours! Trust me on this one, you will love it...

I plan to get me a abu garcia 5600 round baitcaster and a 7' rod . And i plan to put pictures on from photo bucket can you paste them up for me when you get a chance . Thanx

Just remember if you go to braid do not use it with Softbait Swimbaits.

My opinion and that of alot of the top sticks that throw swimbaits, stick with mono not braid.

I should have said braid, trebbles hooks and softplastic swimbaits do not play nice together.

Hey robo,

What about lures like the bass trix and other single hooked swimbaits? A lot of guys I know use braid with the single hook lures... I'm not talking about the Hudd and those type...

Out of curiousity Nunz, what type of rod were you using with the braid? (Make, model, power, action)

Hey, I have the same rod! lol Except mine has to be sent back to G-Loomis because the cork handle is not seated properly... someone else got the good one off the rack... Gee, I wonder who that could be???

That's the only one you use now?

Fish are more active and feed more during these phases. You can fish all month long and you will find that about a week before and a week after is the best fishing . The only thing is that most people fish when they have time so thats why i think alot of people get skunked . The times inbetween i just fish in the morning or afternoon . And during the winter i fish in the warmest part of the day . I am sure brendan and mr. craine and the pros can better explain it .

Jason,

Great quesion, we could probably make this a seperate topic, so that's what I will do. When it's finished, I will come back to this post and put a link to the new topic.
