Thats right. People should remember that its about foshing after all

well it is : )

i wouldn't argue with your assesment. Thats how i felt

Thanks buddy. Likewise

Thank you sir! I appreciate this feedback and dont take it for granted..

Send me a pic then

Thank u sir!

Randy, i never said the molds are different.. But the baits ARE different! They are smaller and lighter. I got 4 emails yesterday from people from 2 states noticing the same thing, so i don't think it was a one time batch. If it was me i would change the dang pigments back because these things are now too small even for me. I like a tiny lure, but this has no body left. Ask them if they changed the pigments on the crappie magnet too! If they shrank the crappie magnet, it may actually be perfect size now : )

@@ifishcatfish I'll get out there first week of June. Going to fish the White River next week for some trout.

@@troutmagnetman give me some more detail later

groceries??

their new batches are coming out smaller. But they say its just a different dye. I don't know about that.. But they are too small for my jigs now and i am not gona make size 14 hook jig just for them. They don't have enough meat now anyway

did many a trip after this, and nothing even remotely as successful : )

U joking but if they made those smaller as well they would be just perfect! Its actually worth checking!

@@ifishcatfish I wasn't joking about the Crappie Magnets, but I was about driving down to Tennessee to fish.

don't be surprised if its tough : )

I love trout fishing too when they are over 10 inches. Here this uear they stocked only dinks

thank you : )

Me too!

no, its not. One of them is old and one new!

thank you sir

👍

yes, i do, both in black and silver. As a matter of fact, thats my #1 seller

that was a chinese trout magnet but yeah : )

@@ifishcatfish I’m honestly surprised they’re all not Chinese… Lmao I heard the rant about them changing the jig heads. I should have said they were eating that jig up… lol I like that Kastking setup.

Excellent question. I went to Kastking and i asked for those rods. Guess what - they didn't bring the ultralight stuff either..

@@ifishcatfish I can't with these companies...I feel like kastking even primarily targets UL fisherman! Well I'm thinking I'm gunna order the 5'8 featherlight and would absolutely send it to you...will keep you in the loop

@@22lbsboost i don't want that rod right now. Also, Kastking offered to send me one if i am interested, so it would make no sense to ask you to spend money on shipping... Honestly, you should watch my 2024 reel Buying Guide video and pick one of those, they are good for sure

alternative to what? I never recommended just a specific model. I like Varivas ester, but it doesn't matter which ester exactly. They all nice. I like their mono for float fishing, but i don't care which one - they all nice. Gosen also makes great ester line, and so does YGK. But none of them are cheap.

@@ifishcatfish thanks for your reply! I was eying their mono. The Super Trout Twitch master stuff for float fishing specifically. I was a little uneasy about trying an ester line because you mentioned it breaks off pretty easily. I’m new to ultralight so I didn’t want to go with something that light until I get a feel for it.

unfortunately it sucks too. Tears easily and turns around and hooks itself

@@ifishcatfish I have also been trying some different things same outcome as you .

LegalisLT. But they are different. Legalis feels better but Kestrel much lighter. If u want a light combo u can do one with Kestrel

@@ifishcatfishthank you 👍🏾

I don't care for Canada, man. I am i_fish, and using whatever units are best for each product.

thanks buddy

They will bed and go back deep :). No fry :)

@@ifishcatfish👍But later on in the season! Going to bust out the Presso soon… definitely an exciting day with both sessions.

this is the 7'0. Because this reel is so light, i pick my lightest presso
