Here’s the video a couple people asked for! 7 1/2 on the buzzbait.

It’s hard to beat top water when it’s almost November. 5 pounder on the new 7’3” level rods NRX and a 7 1/2 on a buzzbait🔥

Welp! Don’t make the same mistake I did🤣 my friends and I have a “too dumb moment” chat and this was mine - not thinking, staying up late cleaning my boat and organizing tackle, I wrote the REGISTRATION CODE instead of the tournament ID last weekend. And go figure, they were CHEWING. Had, I think 104 or 105” and it was all for not🥲 haha. It’s all good! Back at it again this weekend hopefully

Just got the new Level rods in! 7’3” heavy rated up to 3/4 oz. To replace my current frogging rod. I’ll update this after tomorrow or Sunday. Fall classic starts so I’ll be on the water!

Looks - 10/10!

Feel - 8.5/10 - balances really well, but just ever so slightly tip heavy (in my opinion)

Rod action - 8/10 definitely going to be great for frogs and up to 3/8 oz flipping and in tighter areas. Which is exactly what I wanted

Price - 10/10 - I’ve always found that rods in the $150-$300 range are the best. And this fits the bill

This is just from opening the package and holding it and making a couple casts in the back yard

First - I got the 4 digit code for the fall classic, do we need to make a purchase on your site as well, Brian? Have it open now, so I’m happy too!

Also, ordered my first Level rods💪🏽 7’3” heavy for froggin and lighter action flipping! If it goes well, I’ll commit to the bit and switch everything over.

Now I need recs for reels. I’ve been a Lews guy since I started tournament fishing. I’ve gotten a couple new ones and had issues with drag slipping etc. lemme know your thoughts, guys!

Hey guys!

I’m looking to make a switch on rod manufacturer. B. Lat, I know you’re with Level Rods and have seen and read good things. Looking for recommendations for some of my favorite tactics in my home lake to start out with. I’d say, froggin, flippin and trappin run the most, but im going to start exploring more lakes and areas to fish n Middle NC and, I fish the salt.

- frog fishing

- flipping up to 1oz

- trappin’

- chatterbait up to 1/2 oz

- paddle tails up to 6” (1/2oz jig heads or under belly weight max)

- spinner sit/buzzbait

- light Texas rig with 4-6” stick baits

These are just some of the most successful baits I use in my home body and I’m sure some of these techniques could be interchangeable on the same rod.

SUF yonder classic was good to me overall. Hard to compete with these boys! Think I ended up 3rd overall for best 5. Had some missed opportunities, but don’t think I would have caught up in the end. 109.50” isn’t too bad for this coastal fisherman💪🏽

Thanks, B.Lat!
