Mcq was hard
Saq was hard
DBQ was ight
Leq was light

Deps Bull Shooter 160 (3.7 oz) on the way from Japan still
2x Bass Pro Shops XPS Glide (2.1 oz)
River2Sea S-Waver 168 (1.6 oz)
Fishlab Bio Gill Pro Glide (1.8 oz)
3 x Berkley CullShad 8" (3.5 oz)
Megabass Magdraft 6" (1.25 oz)

If I were to get them I would get the 7 inch spro Chad shad or the Bucca trick shad 6 inch next but not sure

They are around 110 for the 6 inch 3.7 oz version if I order it from Japan it is about 45+ 10% tariffs and 5$ shipping so around 50 ish total do y’all think it is worth buying as my next glide ?

Some context on me :
My main thing is mountain biking where I am familiar with that 56 mile distant as I have done it half a dozen times with elevation on a mountain bike. My longest ride on a mtb was 101 miles with around 8500 feet of climbing. I still consistently mountain bike at the high school level and race . On the running part I used to run a ton and was running 5 k where I was running in the 18 area and I stopped for around 6 months, but yesterday I ran at zone 3 for a 5 k just to see in a neighborhood and ran like 21 . On the distance side I have ran distant before but it had been about a year since I ran over 10 miles and about 2 since I did a Marathon. So for the Biking and Running with a few week of prep for running I think I’ll ok. The swimming is the part that I am worried about, I am not a big swimmer, ok but not good , I swim occasionally but not often and I know if I am serious about this I would need to start swimming . The longest I ever have swam was 1 mile at 6 k feet of elevation for fun , unsure my time but it wasn’t easy as the breathing was hard. What do y’all think, I was thinking about doing one in Late to mid June . It isn’t a offical 70.3 as u 18 is not permitted at those , but it is similar distances I believe, I have till early June to sign up I think and the swim is on a lake I believe. What do y’all think ?

digitaka, seems to be pretty good for what I have read but also Tokyo bass and jdm tackle heaven ,discount tackle and a few other , what do you guys recommend

Was really leaning towards the new Nasci but wanna here some other idea and maybe a jdm option as the saving are pretty good. I was also looking toward the Okuma itx cb and itx as well a ultegra and mirival and a few other but wasn’t sure lmk

I have Nasci 1 k and it has 6 lb braid and 4 lb leader

Might swap it to 8lb braid and 6 lb leader but looking to spend under 100$ on a nice ul rod

I Am a long time fisherman who is just getting into the world of glide baits, I am fishing a 7’9 Powell endurance MH rated for 2-5 oz glide baits . I have purchased 2 bass pro shop xps glides 2.1 oz 6 inches , but I am looking at getting a few more . I am using 20 lb fluorocarbon. The glide baits I have been looking at are River 2 Sea s wavers , Spro Chad shad 6th sense Flow glide or Draw , Berkeley chop block and a few others . I am honestly not really sure what to get I already have 2 slow sink glides and I was maybe thinking about getting a surface glide but wasn’t sure or just get 2 more slow sink glides and maybe a fast sink too but I am not sure any advice or help would be appreciated greatly as I am pretty new to this
