i cant find any i think they stoped making it

Hmmm. Sorry just seeing this. Not sure which video you’re referencing. St Croix Avid? St Croix Premier 7’ ML? Those are my two most used spinning rods.

Some days that’s just how it goes sadly. Just like any other fish ya know. Part of the game! Adding scent and stuff helps on occasion. Tight lines!

I’m sure you could. Probably not for anything over 10 lbs though.

I have not because we don’t fish that deep. I think you could still get away with 2 oz at 150. Definitely try it though! Could work great if you can get down quicker.

@usfishermen We tried the 3oz....money! The 4oz was actually too heavy for my bass spinning rod. 🥴

Awesome. They sure are great rods! Will last a lifetime.

What🤣 I caught 5 of them and I promise they were largemouth lmao

Their jig is called the “Hover Rig”. Which is why I referenced them as creators. I see what you mean though!

Stradic is a completely different $$price point$$ and family of reels within Shimano’s spinning reel line-up than the Vanquish!!! Similar to comparing a 4x4 truck to a Corvette 🤪

You got it!👌🏼

We use the #2 size trebles!

@@usfishermen Thanks!

I actually prefer ZERO rolling. I’ve caught hundreds of fish on them :) minnows don’t roll. That’s just a gimmick that the big bait companies want you to believe!

@@usfishermen injured baitfish do roll.. go look at a school of baitfish & look at all the "flashing/rolling" that goes on....The Japanese call it strolling just cause of that "rolling "action"...

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and I hope to see ya around too :)

I see what you mean. However, I don’t think there have been any incredible advances with the new tech with other rods. St. Croix still uses top of the line guides and reel seats, and their blanks are the most sensitive that I have held in my hand. It doesn’t justify switching for me! But I completely see what you mean and it would be interesting to see some side by side tests between St Croix and competitors

@@usfishermen Help me decide on a "everyday rod" looking to fish trout and bass mostly. Im looking between St. Croix victory, Premier or Dobyns fury. Thanks

@@jonathonborges2914 Premier Medium or Medium Light (smaller trout/bass and lighter lures) will both be great options. I’d opt for a medium light personally! 7’ is a great length.

@@usfishermen premier would be better than Dobyns fury?

@@jonathonborges2914 I’m a fan. I’ve never used a Fury but I’ve heard they are good rods as well

The same rod we used in the video works great for heavy tubes. MH or H Fast action Shimano Teramar in that 7’-7’6” range. They load up really well with big fish so you don’t lose many from head shakes etc.. but they also have enough backbone to get them to the surface easily.

Dat you!

Thanks for watching. That was a real fun day!

I feel ya there!

Thanks for watching! Good question. I’m sure there’s lots of options out there but I would always go towards a spinning setup for this technique just because you get control. However, you’d want a Medium/Medium light fast action 7’2 bait casting rod pair with a moderate gear ratio reel (6.3-1). Shimano SLX is a good reel for the price. Lots of rod options out there!

@@usfishermen thanks brother!

Hey man why don’t you try livescopinmg with a frog man it works good on Lake St Clair idk if you fish it much but it’s a good lake for Drum

Appreciate that. I will!

That’s because this was a fishing video, not a fishing tips and tricks video.

Swimbaits have their time and place, but when I’m trying to imitate bluegill I’m always going to throw a football jig, crankbait, or glidebait first. 4.25” is definitely fine for swimbaits, but you may have to go up or down in size to trigger bites! Dragging a swimbait is very effective this time of year.

@@usfishermen perfect. Thank you!! Really wanting to test out efficiently some new swimbaits I got from a company I'm working with

They’re great!! Thanks for watching :D

Correct

Thank goodness it was still attached to my line!

AND?!

Let’s goooo!! They’re sick!

🤣 funny guy here

Thanks B appreciate you!

Death, taxes, and Livescope!
