lol, I just wish there more guys using the G-Blanks rods that would speak up, Im really looking forward to this thing. I think the blue on the Tierra will look good on it too. Cant Wait.

=Matt 5.0=, that finder simailar to the Hummingbird model, and do you like it? I'm considering one for my 10ftr. thnx AC500

I went with a full black on black, eva foams, Im not sure what he's using for guides but when I spoke with him he said he only uses his best stuff on that blank, I'll keep you posted

its $200 shipped, not to bad considering you can spend alot more if you want.

matthewj52001, thanx for the reply, I think thats what Larry said the RX8+ was thier top of the line blank, I fish with Loomis rods but I wanted a custom look and this was the only way to get it. Although I did seek out several builders using a Loomis blank, and the price was over $300, that was the IMX blank, heck I can get GLX spinning rod for around $200 used if I wait it out, I just wanted to go for a certin look. I bought the reel already on the flea and just waiting for the rod. I told Larry no hurry tho, Im in the same boat as you. ICE!

thanks DD, from what I've read these are supose to be some real nice rods, I think yours was the black on black in which inspired me to have 1 built. I was kinda hoping that someone in here was familiar with them.

I've read alot of good things about the G-Blanks rods and thought I'd pick one up to try, I spoke with Larry and the rods in the works. I went with an RX8+ 6'6" MXF and grabbed a new Daiwa Tierra 2500, going to throw weightless Senkos and other lighter baits. Anybody useing the RX8+?

thnx all, I grabbed the Daiwa Tierra 2500 yesterday of the bay, found them to b the cheapest, just waiting on the rod, and of course the ice to go away.

ok Daiwa guys, I've received some great advice on the Tierra from a fellow BR member, I'm looking to hook it up to a 6'6" MXF rod, throwing weightless plastices(Senkos) with PowerPro Braid 15lb, should I go 2500 or 3000. I love my Pflueger Supreme, but Im not brand loyal, I'll try anything.

1 of the guys I fish with uses this stuff, I've never tried but I havta say Im impressed by its stump pulling strength. literally

hmmmmm, Im thinking my 10ftr falls into this catagory just fine. Im in on this, could do a few. I mite havta draw some lights n add a livewell but I think I can.

curse you monkey, a couple weeks ago I was looking for a Cardiff, a fellow BassResource.com member had not 1 but 2 of them...and would you know, that dam monkey climbed on and made me buy em both. grrrrrr

lmao....I cant handle that type of player movement.

I have it, it seems ok, all that moving around kinda makes me a lil woooozzzy...but as far as graphice, ya'll gotta check out CRYSIS, download the demo, but make sure your PC can handle it 1st. ur guna love it.

lets not forget the Powell, although I dont own one, I've read great things about this rod at this price range from several here http://www.***.com/descpageRDCPOWELL-PCR.html

sorry to sound green, baitknocker? what is it and where do I get it? thnks

Im hopping on the swim bait train this year, I went with an Okuma Guide Series 7"11 H and a Cardiff 300. Im looking for some productive baits under $20 bux, the thought of losing something at $30 and up would make me just want to cry. There are just so many choices. Please Help. Thanks.

theres truth to that statement, I was a lil fired up when I saw it, like I mentioned earlier I may very well give one a try. I'll look into some of the other blanks as well to see whats offered. Black on black is a must, that is very nice looking, and from what I've read these are nice rods.

I agree with you there, a couple snapshots at best isnt enough. I've been emailing him so I think Im going to give 1 a try. He said he'd get back to me after the show with different rod blank options.

I would tend to agree as well, working for Stanley Bostitch for several years, you'd be surprised at the products WE make and rebadge right in our factory. The pnuematic tackers, nailers, and industrial staplers were all made there before shipping it all to China of course. So I'm willing to bet plastics arent much different. I was looking through the catolog last night and need some new stuff.

I think Larry picked up a couple sales off this post, he's at a show in Texas now and will be back on Mon, how do I know you ask? I just emailed the day this post came about and Im looking into a spinning set-up. Dressed in black of course. Nice looking rod, and for the $$$ I think it's worth a go.

I just cam back from my local WallyWorld to grab some stuff and I always wonder thru the fishing isle, I found the Storm Wild Eyes, are they worth it? The come in like packs of 6 or somthing. thnx

this is for Fishing Rhino: 1983 Titleist Tour Models 2 thru w, carried 4 thru w Titleist Vokey Wedges Raw Milled 52,56,58,60...depends where I played. Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Mid-Slant Callaway GBB Driver *9 BB 3wd & BB 5wd final set before I was forced to retire. Taylor Made R7 8.5* TM R7 3wd 15* TM R7 5wd 18* Taylor Made RAC LT II's 4 thru W Titleist Vokey Wedges Raw Milled 52,56,58,60...depends where I played Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Mid-Slant (still my favorite) Taylor Made Rossi Monza Retired from the game in late summer of 2006 due to ongoing lower back injuries.

I highly recommended a 55lb, I have a 10ft JB and with 2 guys n gear it rolls over the top all day with out breaking a sweat, and we've come back into a head wind and it pushed us threw it just as easy. It would be in your best interest to save a little extra and get the big dog. for your viewing pleasure take a look here, this is where I got mine, shipping was super fast and the price was the cheapest when I was looking. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Minn-Kota-Endura-55-Freshwater-Transom-Trolling_W0QQitemZ380094950644QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item380094950644&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1209%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

What's the question? These thoughts are symptomatic of a serious case of cabin fever. Buy a new rod or some lures, that will temporarily relieve what ails you. ;D ;D ;D lol....you're probably right RW, and I did just buy a Cardiff 300 & Okuma Swim Bait rod...and I need a new spinning rod & reel as well darn u bait monkey
