Review Exsence Dc
Short review here. Taken this reel out about three times since I bought it and each time it has blown me away. Had 20-25mph gusts today. With the brakes set correctly I was casting a 5/16oz jig and Baby Rage Craw trailer into the wind without a problem. Paid $220 for it used on EBay and it is definitely worth the money at full price. You can find it online at some Japanese etail sites for about $270. If you've been on the fence about this real now is the time to buy before the yen starts to go up higher against the dollar. Just my two cents, hope it was helpful. By brakes,I mean the setting dial on the side of the reel.

Are The Expensive Rods Really Worth It?
Yes if it's a First Generation Cumara. From what I've heard, you should stay away from the GL2's.

Alabama Rig
It's just another tool in the bag. It's not a magic bullet. If they wanna ban it in tournaments. That's their prerogative and I have no problem with it. It's up to everyone's personal preference. I have a few that have never hit water yet that I plan on trying out just to see.

Learned to retie every once in awhile after my buddy lost a good fish at Pond X due to line failure.

One $200+ Rod, Or Two $100 Rods?
Always do the $200 rod if it's a quality rod. It'll keep you out of the upgrade cycle and save you money in the long run.

Pricing Out The Average Angler?
The average angler will never be priced out. For as long as there is a market, a manufacturer or group of manufacturers will be there to serve them. That being said, Bass Resource does not cater to the average angler. I would say we are in the 5% of the market that is catered to by the Cabela's, Bass Pro's and Tackle warehouses of the world. Some of us might fit in to the .5% that pays more than $200 for a rod or reel. For us fishing is not just a hobby, but a passion and we are willing to spend accordingly to pursue that. There's a reason the Ugly Stik is the best selling rod brand year in and year out.

Do Bass Know When The Lake Is Stocked With Trout?
There's a small pond by my old high school that gets stocked 2 or 3 times in the winter with trout. Time for me to order a few 6 inch Savage Gear Line Thru Trouts. I'

Do Bass Know When The Lake Is Stocked With Trout?
If it's been done enough they might associate the vibrations caused by the trout truck with food being brought. The same way that farm raised catfish know the pellet truck shows up.

Pricing Out The Average Angler?
The best part about fishing is that there is a budget for everyone. You're only priced out if you try to fish above your means.

For The Conquest Fans
Three years ago I asked Bantam for higher gear ratio TE-GT and my dream is finally becoming a reality. On a side note, some things I will have to without around the house. New pants, new shoes and maybe some basic foodstuffs will have to be foregone.
