Thread: Pushing the envelope...

Thanks LV. The newbie was taught by her father that lures do catch fish - just not the right lure for conditions (bright sunny afternoon, no weeds for fish to ambush the Torpedo). I had to admire her persistence and concentration and wish I had a mentor, though brief, to show me a few things decades ago.

When it comes to stolen tackle, I see a burned out house on the way to the lake and think - NOW THAT'S REAL LOSS!!!

Alphahawk posted this specs sheet so as you can see it’s 18grsm lighter than casting version. Yeah at this period in time anything out of China gonna take weeks to get here.

It's rated for 1-3g so I'm hopeful. Only downside is that the scheduled delivery is supposed to be sometime in October lol.

In case anyone cares again. The rod came in today. Less than 8 days from the time I placed my order to when it was delivered. For something that came from China in the middle of a pandemic that is pretty impressive. The rod feels great in hand and hoping to test it out this weekend.

Awesome new that it delivered pretty fast! Enjoy and share of pictures...always love see what other people catch, especially multi-specie catches:]

Good fishing with the new rod. Looks very nice.

The lower lure weight of 1gm translates to 1/28oz. I think casting a 1/200oz would be quite a challenge. I just weighed one of my #10 wet flies and weighed 1/126oz. Just my opinion.

I couldn’t describe or argue rod building and it’s make up properties if my life was to depend on it without being able to express its action in photos in this demo. Just another angler looking for another fun panfish rod. Also thank you for making app easier to load photo Mr Moderator!

Hi Tom, i'm a little confused at time when i'm reading jig head discussion as of late in regards to it's polarized popularity toward the lightest of weight possible. Am I missing something? Are these very light jigs being thrown mostly out of a boat or bank fishing because for the life of me I can't throw anything less than a regular TroutMagnet size hook or a #7 (1.15 gram) split shot+#18 royal wulf more than 40ft...thank goodness most ponds i fish at have embankments lol.
