a sweet Quantum reel about 50-60bucks and a galyan's im-8 rod for around 70 bucks so total of 120-130bucks but only paid about $55---$60 cuz galyans went out of bussiness butt that going to change when I buy my new combo ;D

by the way he still got some line for 20 bucks on ebay but has some bids on it

very nice I will have to give it a try ;D

Was wounderin if custom rods are worth the money you pay for them and how much is a generally good custom rod worth? where is a good place or person that makes custom rods? and what is advantages of a custom then a factory made rod? thanks bassmaster

i was woundering whats the main diff between a fenwick hmg and hmx and is the hmg worth the $40 or no? any one who owned both or one would be great to hear how you liked it or didnt thanks bassmaster

Nice northern and I saw that bass very nice Now got another great summer get away place, Switzerland lol

WOW cant wait to see them on those rods and need to see those pics of whatcha catch man hehe the darkside

nice *** will pricematch but how do you do so if its online??

Nice find I was almost goin buy a rod for way more now I could a boat load of cash tanks

oh I gotcha well you could get a telescoping rod? could fix your travel and still would be one peice

well I would stay clear away from 2peice rods for musky as they are big fish and could take the top part right off but a good one peice I hear only good things about from friends and people I fish with is the Shimano compre and cardiff which runs new around $190 but dont know what price range you realy did want muskiefirst.com has more there for muskie fishing thou I would ask there good luck

for me in my local lakes and ponds big swimbaits and top waters like buzzbaits and popers some floating rapalas work great. you dont catch as many fish but when you land them they are monster bass

yea we have fished canada for 20+ years with St. Croix premiers and never had one problem. and these rods are under constint stress and always have a huge fish on the other end

thanks for all the info guys and if Dicks SG has St. Croix Avids for only $99 I WILL GRAP A FEW in a heartbeat I gotta check it out when I decide I put up all the monster bass I catch on it ;D

around 100-150 for the rod and about the same for a reel

i was lookin to upgrade some of my older rods so i am looking at buying a good all around baitcasting rod and reel for general purpose and was woundering what you guys think thanks ;D

ST. Croix is amazing!! rods and come with 5 warrenty so cant beat that for $90 and they are handmade

ok what does parabolic mean in comparson to other actions as med lite heavy where would it land between are all ready known actions? thanks

i am considering gettin either the st. croix or carrot stix and was woundering if the carrot stix is sold in any stores so i could get a feel for it

darn its $500 got confused with the sarros

how much are they

just bought a Johnny Morris spinning reel the JM 4000 and is very smooth and well made cant wait to bring it out on the water generally BPS brand is a generic brand its well made with out the price that the brand names bring

dont worry you will get the hang of it but just dont have your first cast be into that heavy cover b/c most lilkly you will get a backlash and a birdsnest cuz has happened to me and caught a bass was a big hassle but still got the fish and untaggled the mess. i would agree that baitcaster is the way to go and would probly get a 7' + baitcast rod with a cardiff reel. and try throwing frogs and weedless baits such as worms. have had large success with a popper around the edges of the cover @ the pond near my house could give it a try ;D

i would say around 8#s for that reel as you say but doestnt mean you cant get heavier line than 10 but the heavier than 10 for that reel is not a good idea b/c you wouldnt have much line on it.

If you want you can still catch the Bass Pro Shops spring classic sale were you would get better deals once the prez reels are on sale and the bionic blades are also onsale with that combo (sold seprately) would be with in your price range just around $100-110 round about with the current sale through the 16th of march. for those math fans thats around $140 combo. so thats just another idea, you could go that route or I would look at sales at the store if you can go. ;D good luck and hope that helped tell us what you decide. 8-)
