Sufix is your friend. Siege mono. Amazing casting distance, tough as nails, minimum stretch, minimum memory. (Same diameters as big game). Use a solid color, had an issue once with the camo. (Could've just been a bad batch, but better safe than sorry with big baits). Big fan of their fluorocarbon too. (Great handling & strength, at the cost of being little more opaque (visible) than other flouros). I'll never use another line as long as Sufix exists. One of the few things I have ultimate confidence in & can recommend. *Use a line conditioner too(with all lines, not just sufix). Especially with big baits.

Had too many Huddleston duds in the past few years to be confident in them anymore. (Been a year+ since I've even looked at them, so maybe QC has gotten better?)

I've been wanting to try these since I first saw the prototypes. I've fished the tiki lobster and imo it has some design flaws, in both form & function. These look far superior, on every level.

*copy/pasted from my TT post: These look money- -36 ton Japanese toray blanks -all double footed stainless steel guides -carbon reel seat with soft touch coating, Fuji pts styled. -slick foxhole hook keeper- placed under the foam foregrip, so that your swimbait is resting on foam(rather than the blank) -full grip, slim contoured eva handles -6 models, for baits ranging from 2-22oz. -all black 'murdered out' styling (akin to megabass x4 rods) -$215-$235 Available July 21st. -The TW video: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/icast16cat.html?ccode=13FISH16E&catvid=CRODS -TW page(some typos on rod specs- see 13 fishing page for correct specs): http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/13_Fishing_Muse_Black_Swimbait_Casting_Rods/descpage-M1SB.html 13 fishing product page: http://www.13fishing.com/muse-black-swimbait/

In your opinion what's the best overall line
haunted replied to Campobassmaster's topic in The Underground
Without a doubt- 20lb Sufix fluorocarbon, or 20lb Sufix Siege for mono. Sufix line is one of the few fishing products I have 100% confidence with. -
I quit buying hudds years ago. After the 5th or 6th one I bought that didn't run right (6" models, various rof), combined with a few that had bunk hooks, I finally gave up on Huddleston all together. Hope he gets out in front of this and works the qc issues worked out.

That's actually an awesome bait co name. Very witty! For those that didn't catch the reference-

'Tubuku baits' is my favorite part! Hahahahhaha

I had em before(very small size, caught with casting net). Shad & bluegill as well. I actually learned a good bit about them & baitfish that way. If possible, feed it food that's native to its lake. Hook him up with some crawfish, minnows, lizards, worms, bugs, bluegill, etc.

I use #20 Sufix fluorocarbon on my swim baits. That stuff is tuff as nails, casts great, almost no memory and has the best knot strength of any flouro I've tried. I think it's the best flouro on the market. The one negative- is that it doesn't seem to be as invisible as others. Pros far outweigh the cons for me. Also- I use line conditioner(I think I have the KVD one atm) before each outing. Makes the line more supple & a little less jumpy.

Great post Randall! I kept & studied multiple species of fish for a few years as well, and the things I learned were invaluable. Like the color changing for example- the dominate/alpha fish would always be darker in color. When they'd decided to bully/chase/harass/challenge/show dominance- the alpha fish would get dark and go 'full color' and flare all their fins out- while all the other lesser fish would go pale and tuck their fins- out of shear fear/nervousness. If another fish 'showed its colors', the alpha fish would key in on it. Likewise, the predator fish in a tank of bait fish would go dark before it fed. All species, from bass to chilids to red belly piranhas. And then the environmental factors- day/night, temperatures, water changes, etc. There's a lot to learn from keeping fish. The types of deflections off structure that triggers strikes. Specific movements of a worm or other bait thrown in that reveal what the fish like, colors/patterns, the preferred angles of attack, the way they move during different situations, etc.

Debating which one to get as well. I'll most likely get both of them down the road, but only one for now. @igl00jx you're the only person I can find online that has both- What are your thoughts comparing the 2 reels? Which one would you prefer/recommend if you could only have one?
