Capt Pete,
Hope all is well. I must have walked past you at the NJ Saltwater show last Saturday!
I went by the Pure Fishing Booth and picked up the new ABU BEAST 200 and 300..
Have you spent any time investigating these new reels?
I certainly don't need any more gear but thinking about...
Thank you both. Yes, I have the Tatula XT Medium spin rod with a Fuego 2500. Great combo for casting those 1/4-3/4oz jig heads with Jerk shads. For the purpose of those light jigs I agree with the spinning combo. But I also do a lot of shallow water bay fishing with baitcasting reels...
Thanks, yes, that is the Revo X that I was looking at. I noticed some of the LI Tackle shops (not sure If I'm allowed to mention names??) have posted a few videos recently coming from ICAST 2025 showing the new Revo BEAST 200 with very nice Power knob handles. The beast has brass main gear...
Hi Lep,
Seeking your opinion for a new Abu baitcaster for fluke. Planning to use 10 or 15lb braid mostly shallow water fishing.
Probably using on a M or ML slow pitch rod, looking to go as light as possible
Been looking at the Revo X. Any Suggestoins?
Thanks!

Hi Pete,
I hope all is well. Seeking your advice. I'm looking for a new fluke baitcaster, been looking at the Penn Squall Low Profile Baitcaster and some of the Abu Revo's. Ideally looking to stay below the $200 level, I was at one of the big box retailers last week and saw the Revo X-...
In search of suggestions for a introductory baitcaster for back bay / river fluke fishing, light bucktailing.
Been watching online reviews of KastKing Spartacus II, Pascifun Alloy M, Daiwa CC80, Abu Garcia Max X
Appreciate the feedback.
Thank you!
Capt. Mike-
Thank you for the great day on the water eariler this week. Immaculate boat, excellent ride in some sloppy conditions, fantastic all around seamanship skills! .... Great trip all around.. appreciate having a crab cutting "caddy" on board all day and putting us over a nice pile...
Hi Pete,
I wanted to follow up on the decsion I made- I picked up the Penn Fathom 200 Low profile reel. I wanted to shop local, tried to stay away from ordering online. The shop didnt have any of the Abu's I was looking, but I believe this newer Fathom LP likely has much of the same...
Capt. Pete,
Looking for your expertise. I currently own a Abu Revo NACL 50. Love it! I'm looking to add another Abu Revo to the arsenal. I was thinking about the Quantum Accurist with the flippin switch, but leaning more towards an ABU Revo. I have a lot of trust in the Abu name and Revo...
Hi Pete,
It's been a long time, I followed you over from the other forum! Hope all is well.
Looking to pick your brain as I start shopping this winter for a new Tog Jigging Outfit or two.
My current collection is primarily you past suggestions- I have the Shimano Trevela S Green Spinning...
Hi Pete,
Happy New Year. Knowing you have a wealth of knowledge wanted to ask this question to you and the group. I'm looking to purchase silicone skirts in bulk. Skirts for fluke jigs primarily. I have been buying skirt packs (10x to a pack) for between $1.90- $2.50 a pack.
Doing...
I know this is mainly a plug building forum, but by any chance does anyone happen to know a source that produces custom jig molds? I'm looking for a football jig mold and unfortunately Do_it Molds does not make them larger than 1oz.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
SP

My former screen name was RegulatorMan.. I had to switch because some hacker kept breaking into my old account.
THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. I'm honored by your generosity! I'm going to PM you to follow up on your offer. This is amazing!
