>>2198607I've had many carp (assuming it's a common carp) eat 1" jigs when panfishing. It's a fun fight but you'll definitely need to know how to work your drag properly
>>2198578I use the improved clinch, double uni, and snell knot 99% of the time
>>2198548Swimbaits and curly tails from what I've seen. Also they use those gay European swinging jigheads with paddletails it seems
>>2198421For a budget surf rod I'd get a triumph surf or daiwa emcast. Also I can't believe that saltwater doesn't destroy that SLX why are you using low profile casting gear in the salt?
