I ran into a pimp selling his "merchandise" at a gas station in North Carolina one time. -gk

After breaking a Falcon Original, I am probably going to rotate my other one out. I would recommend a daiwa ballistic, I have the 6'9" MH, I would not recommend that particular model for heavy c-rigs, but they are a good rod in that price range. I would also recommend a St. Croix Triumph. -gk

copy and pasted from the purists gonna hate thread. bump. After fishing my new goodies today, here is a brief review. Rod- 6'9" Daiwa Ballistic Medium Heavy fast action Reel shimano curado 201e7 line- 40lb power pro braid lure- 1/4-3/8 oz jigs First impressions- When I pulled it out of the *** tube, I was kind of surprised at how thin it was. The blank diameter was closer to a medium action. The foam on the grips was a nice touch, it did not feel slick or cheap, even when wet. It feels real close to the septon grips on a shimano reel. Usage-At first, I was just playing around with it not really knowing what to expect. It does have a nice feeling tip to it, it feels almost like the grey are between medium and medium heavy. It actually felt pretty good while casting and flipping. The sweet spot for this rod feels right at 3/8 ounce, while casting it will send that jig a country mile. However I would not recommend this rod for jigs at 1/2 ounce. It would probably feel a little over loaded, but I did not try it yet, so I could not give you an accurate answer. I think this rod would be a dynamite finnesse jig rod. sensitivity- Felt really good, I was using braid, but it transmitted feeling pretty well. Even on a long cast I could still pick out every single branch and rock overall, I would highly recommend this rod. It has quality guides (fuji) a machined reel nut which is nicely finished, and holds reels down pretty securely. Any comments or questions, just hit me up I will try to get back with an answer. -gk

Medium heavy fast action rod, 14-20lb test mono, and a high speed baitcaster. -gk

I like the pit boss, but I don't fish beaver style baits enough to rush out and buy every bag in sight. -gk

look for a flooger medalist, it is about half of your price range and a pretty solid reel. -gk

One day I was fishing with a couple friends and I said this is my last cast, so I chucked my booyah spinnerbait out there, 2 turns of the handle and WHAM, that bass felt like I hit a brick wall. It turned out to be 23" long and a pretty healthy weight. -gk
