NOT HAPPY AT ALL W/ MY KISTLER MAGNESIUM !
I've complained about this rod on this site before BUT NOW I'VE REALLY HAD IT ! everything that i've read amout this rod (on this forum and other reviews on the web ) say that it's extremely sensitive. WRONG! today i was fishing a jig and couldn't feel the bottom as i was dragging it ower the rocky bottom. Thats not all i also lost 4 fish with it I HAVEN'T LOST 4 FISH IN THE PAST 2 YEARS ! and today i lost 4 the rod is a kistler magnesium all purpose spinning 6'6"med. i am sticking w/my g loomis rods unbeliveably sensitive and i don't lose fish. I DON'T KNOW MABEY I'M JUST SPOILED BY MY G LOOMIS RODS .

finese spinning rod
I have the kistler magnesium all purpose med 6'6" spinning rod and it's a really nice rod , all the new magnesium rods are all fuji components i made sure i asked them before i orderd it . if you buy one do yourself a favor and put a nice lite reel on it. PS my best finesse rod is my g loomis bronzeback smr 811 sp http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/alltackle/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441760513&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032504&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181201&bmUID=1211079162497

fishing jigs in the charles river ?
i have fished the charles river in waltham ma for years . i have never fished a jig though because the water really isn't clean enough for crayfish to live and i know that a jig is supposed to mimic a crayfish . am i wrong do you think that i should try fishing jigs in these waters ?

Anyone tried Team Allstar Rods???
I never heard anyone say anything bad about them BUT ! i bought one a few years ago the first fish that i caught on it ( about a 1lb bass) the rod snapped about 3" from the tip. I hav had ove 100 rods in my life and that was the ONLY rod that ever broke fighting a fish. (i have broken others in car doors and stuff like that) I haven't fished one since.

Looking for some spinning wisdom
i have a g loomis bsr 803 mossyback w/ a pfleuger supreme 8030 reel it' my best set up . the bsr 802 is even lighter . the 803 is a med heavy rod w/an x fast tip but it will throw from 1/8 - 5/16 and the 802 will throw 1/8-1/4 i think it's exactly what your looking for GOOD LUCK! http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/alltackle/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441768921&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032711&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181201&bmUID=1210126567469

putting line on a reel
When i spool a reel i put the spool of line on the floor put a telephone book in the front of it open the book about 1/4 lay the line between the pages (use your judgement , if it's to tight when you reel don't go so deep in the book) i don't know why but it gets the memory out of the line.

New rod and reel combo under 250 bucks
these 2 rods are unbelivable the only difference between the two is the elite has recoil guides and the other one has fugi guides you will be extremely happy w/ either one as far as a reel goes a pfleuger supreme for 100 bucks can't go wrong PS my buddy just sent back a e21 carrot stick because the reel seat wouldn't hold the reel tight. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_58453_100002002_100000000_100002000_100-2-2 http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90405_100002002_100000000_100002000_100-2-2
