I to use xraps ALOT! # different sizes. I have also found using them on shallow flats right down the ditches in a 1' or 2' of water is great!!! This past week I could work the rogue Jr right through the the patchey weed/moss slime. And with the braid or floro it ripped throught it clean. 6'6" Team Diawa w/ feugo reel in spinning is my shakey head rod but has been great for smaller rogues, pointer78s and x-raps. Still have have found and right bait casting combo yet. Use to throw a 6' browning, 6'6" quantum kvd crankin rod, 6'6" BPS finnese rod and finnese reel , yet still haven't found the right feel for me.
