Due to the abrasive nature of wintering areas and high underwater visibility, fluorocarbon leaders are required

The rod that this one was replacing was a rod that I had bought in Texas in 2011, while I was there to fish at Lake Fork

I beg to differ on the reel I bought the bg combo from west marine in the 3000 series and thought it was great at first then after a couple trips the reel started to get stiff so I cleaned it after flushing it and luring it like I do on all my reels and it still was stiff so I replaced it with a 3000 series Shimano nasci never had a problem like that again in fact I never really clean my nascis all I do is flush them good with fresh water and add some reel grease to where grease is needed and some 656 marine spray lube that is great on anything that gets saltwater on it and wipe off the excess with a rag and im good until next time and your tfo sounds weird being a 7 ft or 7 6 foot rod and being medium heavy and is only rated for line up to 17lb test my medium heavy MOJO inshore series st Croix rod is good for lines to 30lb test to me that makes more sence the stiffer the rod the heavier the line one should be able to use plus I have heard a few people on saltstrong break there tfo rods never broke a st Croix yet but if I do its got a no Hassel 5 year warranty on it and after the 5 years are up its only 50 bucks to replace it and thats a deal hard to top now Ill stick with whats worked for years my Shimano s paired with a st Croix inshore rod after all there motto is the best rods on earth well they back up that claim and thats for sure Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the BG 3000

Since bass are on the search for food, they are going to be fairly predictable
