Great info. guys, I can't thank you enough. Another question, preferred rod length and line, mono or braid for casting? Thanks again. What is a Gotcha?

A gotcha is a heavy jig plug, catches just about every kind of fish you will run into on the pier, as for rods and line its really personal preferance and depends on what kind of bait you are throwing, for xraps, i use a 7ft mh rod with 20lb mono, for gotchas, 7ft m with 12lb mono, and a reel that will hold at least 250yds of whatever lb line you use, the more line the better for when a fish makes a long run on you

I saw someone post an illustration of proper tying in regards to casting baits with steel leader, cross lock and swivels and I can't find it. If anyone reads this and can show the proper way, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot

So, is the 3 1/2 inch size the most popular for Spanish?
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
