Great video. I just got a new rod and reel. Loading it with Suffix 50#. I’m new and not very good. Been second guessing if I should’ve gone with heavier line. Thanks for giving me a little confidence! Mark
There use to not be much grass in lakes around me. I rarely used more than 1/4. Even around sparse cover in finding fish react to heavier weights sometimes . I know that’s been a tactic for a long time. But I remember when I first started you couldn’t hardly get bit with a heavier weight. We use to use a punch skirt set up with an 1/8 ounce weight to get a slow fall.
Personally for close quarters heavy cover I have a 7'4 heavy with braid. Then for lighter applications I have a 7'8 heavy. More tip and 20lb flouro. The way I see it I'm making longer pitches and there's a small amount of stretch so I pair it with a bigger rod

Good stuff Nick! 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for breaking it down my friend!
Excellent
Truly fine video, quite educational. Gained some good insights as to technique and equipment.
There's nothing like hearing that brad sing baby
who’s Brad
Looks addicting
Where is this system?
You listed the 7'4 Muse Black as the heavy setup and the 7'6 Essence as the light setup. I think that's backwards?
They're both heavy action rods. Barely any difference anyway.

Wish some of these videos were on public water to see how it goes. I understand this is just educating but it’s not the same
0:07, this shot was filmed off the public boat access dock of a section of the Mississippi River the video was shot on.
That's most definitely public water ya hater
Punching is like needle in a haystack . You can go 300 yard with no bites and catch 1 big one at the end
why no snell knot?
Doesn't help.
@@andyd834 really? Doesn’t help? Going to start flipping and punching… and everyone swears by snell although I’m a palomar guy.
What knot is that?
Based on the loop looks like a palomar. Possibly double. I could be mistaken though.
Braid
The big ones are she’s not he’s
He is pitching not flipping
