Falcon Bucoo BRC 717 has been working pretty good for me so far. https://www.sportsmansoutfitters.com/products/falcon-bucoo-sr-rods Five year warranty, Fuji guides and reel seat, $70.00.

Get a small ssd drive and wipe your hdd. Install your os on the ssd and use the hdd for games and what not. That alone will make a big difference. Probably going to be your best bet right now. I built a new one this spring and just the gpu was $300.00 for a new asus strix 1650 super and it would be hard to find something like that again. If you do decide to build I went ryzen 5 and it has been fantastic. Stay away from gigabyte power supplies.

What did they send you? Falcon doesn't even make a medium fast bucoo. From here? https://www.sportsmansoutfitters.com/collections/bass-rods/products/falcon-bucoo-sr-rods

6'8" bucoo from sportsmans outfitters for $70.00. Last gen 6:3 tatula from sheltons clothing for $100.00.

Yep. 6'6" Falcon Bucco micro. "Herm". In a pinch with 30 pound braid I've frogged with it too. Not real heavy cover but it worked fine.

S.O. has amistads in stock. Just saying. ?

Their service was fantastic. Ordered friday night and the order was delivered early monday afternoon.

Might just end up being your dream rod. In my eyes a MH mod fast rod is the best all around rod you can get. Very little you won't be able to throw with that rod.

Make your own. Cut the front hook off a treble hook.

I meant what I typed. I cut my skirts short and play with nail polish. Not like I drink the stuff. Anymore. ?

I just bought another one last night. Great reel for a hundred bones. 5 year warranty too.

If it has a skirt I'm cutting it. Spinnerbaits, jigs, frogs. I also play with nail polish alot.

Another junk reel and some new line to try out. I know I will just end up going back to braid though.

I like Randy but he really should use a cup and a half of sugar...

Try putting a drop of oil on the spool shaft where it passes through the pinion.

Me too. 3004 hs. Still have it and still use it every now and then.

I've had pretty good luck with fishing clothes from thrift shops. Columbia fishing shirts, Nike and Under armour dri fit type shirts, Nike and Adidas golf shorts. Stuff like that.

For $70.00 get a falcon bucco trap caster from S.O. For $150.00 grab an amistad too and have a nice frog rod. ☺️

Maybe bring up the idea that if the DNR doesn't stock it, someone else will try and that never turns out well.

You sure about that being plastic?

They're $4.00 at Walmart so why not use them. The biggest benefit to me is you can get them in bright colors. I fish a local park quite a bit and may hike a mile or so through the woods. Makes the rods easier for people around me to see them. I'd feel kind of bad if I ever poked someones eye out on accident. And no, I would have no problem doing it on purpose! ?

For $40.00 it's a nice rod. The 7 ft. MH is a bit of a meat stick but a good value for sure. http://stores.sheltonsclothing.com/quantum-icon-pt-baitcast-reel/ Link for a reel suggestion.

Welcome back. Been a long time since you've been around.

Falcon lowrider for $100.00 and a Quantum icon for $40.00.

The first one. Talk about a never ending rabbit hole after that. ?
