I use the lo pro and it has the extended ribs. I think the QuickDraw does not have this and is more a typical Brolly with side flaps.

I do the same, but use an old Korda funnel web tube. Perfect for it.

Ah I see now, 52” or 58” vs 68”, that is quite a difference.

Thanks!

Do you guys see reason to pick one of these new brollies over a lo pro mk2?

Cheers, got them!

Next problem is here, my ESP bobbins don't fit the Jag hockeystick.

I think the ESP is M5 male and the Jag hockeystick 2ba female...

Has anyone encountered the same and solved it? I looked online for adapters but can't find anything yet.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy the Jag snag ears, but unsure of the size (S or L).
My alarms are Fox Mini Micron X. The Jag site says use L for Fox alarms, but since the Mini Micron are quite small I thought perhaps I do need the S.

Any thoughts or experience with this combination?

Thanks!!

Thanks guys! Hadn't seen the XT version before. I've ordered some packs, trusting they'll hold up better.

Hi all,

I could use your advice on selecting the right hook pattern or change anything else for a situation I faced.

For the past year, I've used the ESP Trig-Hammer size 5 for my spinner rig, which has performed fine until last night. I was fishing a new spot where I needed to block a fish after the bite because of some poles in the water.

After initial contact where I was not able to turn the fish, it felt like a really heavy fish and it kept trying to reach the snags, I lost connection and upon winding in, the hook apparently straightened out. I'm fishing at about 15 wraps distance with fluorocarbon and Free Spirit ES rods, so I thought to have enough cushioning to absorb the force.



Is this just bad luck, or do I need to change something? Different hook, different rig, or?

Thanks guys, I much appreciate any response
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
