i only throw the staysee on a med action rod for just that issue. the heavier action rod with no give literally destroys my wrist. what is worst of all is when you are just starting to twitch again and they smash it. two opposite and NOT equal forces moving in opposite directions makes for LOTS of transmitted power. got to get these work issues resolved, SOON!
btw try the same bait now on cumberland and feel what 20-30# striper can do to a jerkbait. YOUCH!!!!!!
btw the color you mention seems to be chart shad - a killer at dale when there is a light stain (oh well there goes another "secret bait")
thanks for the PM.
