My favorite reel I've ever owned. I have tiny mitts and palm it no problem. Holds plenty of 25lb sunline assassin too if you wanna go higher or lower as far as that's concerned. You won't be disappointed

I'm in (for the springtime up here in MA)

I'll pitch it up into cover, wait 5-10 seconds and twitch it. If they don't eat it then I'll slowly crank it down. If they don't eat on the twitch, it will be within a few cranks of the reel handle. Otherwise just keep a slower tempo as it's cranked down and add pauses here or there

My most effective one, has st-41's and 3-4 1" golf tape strips on the head section behind the hook hanger. Strictly cranking, it'll basically suspend on the pause

Different opinion here, I have a poe's mag stick and wouldn't even think about throwing a wade hoggs on it, too sketchy. Not sure if I just prefer a more stout rod. I throw stuff 3.5-4+ on a genesis 3 bailey's swim. As for guides I have 50lb braid to 17lb flouro leader with an Albright knot on the poes stick and don't have any problems

My uncle might have a cannon buried in his basement I can't remember hahah
