Paint will NOT stay on Red Eye Shad...Very disappointed
got an old silver/black back rapala floater that now looks like a chicken bone the dogs out in the yard have been gnawing on since last sunday. it still catches fish. that said, sk products are not known for their overall durability.

AFTER MANY YEARS I AM WALKING AWAY FROM MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
x2...look at mike webster's arms on their championship run...this is why i started watching the college games...although, bosworth at osu was definitely pumping something besides iron. and, muddy, i hear ya about them bats...got into the college world series a few years back. on mute.

AFTER MANY YEARS I AM WALKING AWAY FROM MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
this is why i walked away from the nba years ago. those guys commit more fouls in the first 4 seconds than used to be committed the entire game. there is no game anymore...just a spectacle of a game.

Question for the Loomis gang...
if i could only have one, would pick the mbr783...since you already have the mbr844, would personally pick mbr782 or cbr845. if i fished more open water, i would pick the cbr845...it will handle slightly heavier weights...if accuracy was key, would pick the mbr782...imo, there isn't a better rod out there for pop r's, pointers and the smaller to medium cranks than the mbr782. either compliments the mbr844 extremely well...put the e7 on the 844 and get an e5 for the 782/845 and you can cover most bases out there with just those two. because of oldphartism aches, have had to replace the mbr844 with the lighter, shorter bcr803...along with the mbr782, these are usually the only two rods on deck.

If you could only have one....
mbr783 glx/steez 103. a tad more than $500 but, what the heck...life is short.

Plastics Rod
i tend to lean more toward the x-fast actions rather than the fast with plastics...it does make a difference. mh or h, depending on cover.

Educate me on wake baits
am a wake bait fanatic. add the storm subwart as a must-have and make sure you keep a v-wake in the water. the rhoumba is a fun bait, as well, and can be fished twitched, waked or simply retrieved.
