They are on sale at Sportsman’s Guide for $35 ($49 at Cabela’s). If you are a Club member they are $32. Now…I don’t NEED any, but my GAS is kicking in and tempts me to upgrade a few of my old Garcia Cardinals…
I put my hands on one last weekend and it felt pretty smooth for the money.
Any opinions?

hey, oj, pfluegers are pretty good reels, but i would stick with garcia, much better reels, just my opinion. tight lines.

What’s the best 30lb braid to 20lb fluorocarbon knot?

Rock Hound wrote:

The Alberto knot is a good knot. You must make sure that the lines are wet when you tighten them down (especially the fluorocarbon or monofilament as those lines will begin to melt when you tighten them down if not lubricated).

I personally use the Uni to Uni knot, but the Alberto should not break if tied correctly.

been bass fishing over 60 years and i've never had a uni knot, double uni knot or a palomar knot slip or break. tight lines.

Bait caster and Spinning Rod

FS Digest wrote:

So, I know that bait casters tend to cast better and accurately but does anyone use bait caster for one use and a spinning set up for another use? What are your specific uses for each one?

rocky, for bass fishing i use bait casting equipment, but for ultralight fishing i use spinning equipment. tight lines.

Do snaps affect the presentation at all?

FS Digest wrote:

If so for which baits and to what degree? I honestly can’t stand retying every time I change lures, snaps are 1,000 times easier.

The only thing I’ve noticed is with crank baits it seems to throw the action a bit with the dual points of axis causing it to wobble from side to side a bit. Is it really necessary to tie direct?

bill, tying knots is part of fishin, and when you lose a big bass (as I did) because the snap straightened out, I learned a very important lesson. when I returned to camp, I dumped all of my snaps in the trash and haven't used one since and don't ever intend to use another one. tight line
