Welcome Trey. -
Rod: Mattlures MH swimbait rod, rated for 1-4 oz. IMO perfect for 6"-7" hardbaits, soft paddletails (like osprey talons). I used this for weedless hudds though with braid. Rod is only 3 months old, and in superb condition, The only thing wrong is that the butt cap is broken (was that way when I got it), and taped with electrical tape. $60 + $25 for shipping. Reel: Revo toro winch 51. This reel changed my mind about Abu Garcia reels, and this is coming from a proud member of the posse. bought new and is cosmetically and mechanically perfect. Comes with box and papers, but no extra power handle. Spooled with 80lb Daiwa Samurai + backing. $185 TYD Swimbaits: Mattlures hard bass floater, new never thrown. 7.5", 3.5 oz Weedless ROF 12 hudd new in pack $55 TYD (for both) Line: At least 200 yards of 80 lb Samurai. Will put in an extra spool of Big Game, PLine fluoroclear, Yo-Zuri hybrid or something useful. $35 TYD Prices are for paypal gift or money order. Add 4% otherwise. Pics on request. -
Still looking. May settle for an 8" or 10" floating FS or a floating BA; color doesn't matter as long as it floats. Come on, someone's gotta have a back-up that needs some east coast love.

"Everything Matters, Yet Nothing Matters" lol. I like a leader anyway.

If I don't know the terrain I'm fishing like the back of my hand, I always go with a soft bait. I swimbait fish from the shore on a budget and can't afford to lose too many lures. I like hudd 68s, matt's T-series, and of course the old stand-by ROF5 hudd. If I know I'm not likely to lose a bait, I love me some triple trouts! Also the slow-sink hardgill! Hardbaits are more fun as someone else mentioned.

OP, you need to spend more time on this board. Welcome to the addiction!
-
There' an SML in TN too? anyway, I voted hoping that it's the SML in VA..
-
That is due to the low shock absorption of braid, since it's so low-stretch.
-
Trust me, I was madder than you when I got outbid on that one.
-
I shoulda been more specific. I'm going to fish it- if and when I find one- so not looking to spend a whole lot over $200.
-
for a reasonable price
-
Good deal there too. I have the same rod and reel for 8" baits, except that it's a 401.

Slammer/Wake series/Hardgill Floater Freestyle/TT/Hardgill ss Hudd ROF 12/Rising Son Would that be a good starting series? Great choices all around! Except that for bottom bouncing, you might want to throw ROF5 or weedless hudds if you fish a lot of snaggy places from the shore (like me). You might also also to pick up a floating lipless bait. The Spro BBZ is an inexpensive bait that catches fish. Know that it's a knockoff before buying though. So it's your choice. Mattlures hardbass are wicked baits. I just bought a hard perch last week for a reasonable price. You can't go wrong with Mickey's, Matt's, Randall's, Rago's hardbaits, along with 22nd centurys and slammers and a few others. Buy a few baits, learn what they do, and keep throwing them until you start sticking fish, or lose them, or give up the game. I was in your place this time last year, and I haven't done too badly so far. Good luck.

Tried a lot of economy braids, and a few premium ones. After a lot of lost money, lost time, lost fish and headaches, I know for sure the only brand that's I'll continue to buy is Daiwa Samurai- whether it's in 30 lb for little jigs, 55 lb for big jigs, or 80 lb for weedless hudds and punkers.
-
New, never thrown, in flat rainbow color, comes with box. $28 TYD pp gift.

Good stuff Randall. Learnt a lot, and saved your post so that I can come back and refresh my memory when needed. Thanks!
-
Found one.
-
7" or larger. Beat-up is fine, and preferred.

PM-ed. -
Gamakatsu round bends. The size will remain a secret, since it's not mine to share..
