The only issue I see with the palomar knot is getting the loop over a big swimbait might be a challenge

Dude those are super clean looking. Good job bro!

So let me start by saying I'm new to the swimbait world and looking to start my swimbait collection but to keep me from destroying my bank account I have decided to limit myself to two swimbaits per month or $150 per month whatever comes first Now with that said I have decided on getting a 7" or 8" TT and a 7" or 9" MS slammer but I can't decide if I should go for the double jointed slammer or the original. What are your thoughts on both? Any input is appreciated Thanks - VG

Yea i went ahead and bought it to try. Will just use it as leader. What knot are you using? I use a palomar knot about 90% of the time and a SD jam knot the other 10% because they're both easy fast and strong I have been trying this knot out not sure if I like it

I have been told the palomar isn't good for fluro because it allows the line to cut into itself but I'm not sure if this is true

I use the palomar knot for mono or braid but I have been using this knot (sorry I don't know the name of it) and the SD jam knot for fluro lately

I have been using the xps in the purple and yellow box for about 7 months now seems to be good stuff breaking strength seems to be up to par knot strength is good if you tie a good knot (I do not recommend the palomar knot because it seems to cut into itself) onlg down side is memory is becoming a bit of an issue in the last few months Recently I have decided to give p-line halo a try and see what all the hype is about

Man that's what I want to know, that's one sweet looking hat!

I use a waterproof solar charger to charge 2 batteries and the gopro battery bac-pac on my kayak doing this gives me over 10 hours of video time

Hey y'all my name is Jason and I'm a noob. I'm 29 years old and I have been fishing with my grandfather since I was 5 but within the last year I have decided to get serious about it and start fishing in local tournaments. Throwing big swimbaits and possibly catching the fish of a lifetime is something that has always interested me. Recently I saw a mojo bass 7'9" heavy rod with a curado 300e for sale on craigslist and I decided to finally pull the trigger. Now I have my first big swimbait rod, ok maybe not "big" but up to 4oz. I still have yet to buy my first swimbait but I'm thinking a trip to bass pro should solve that. I look forward to learning as much as I can from all of you and the possibility of catching a monster.
