I have had many experiences on ebay and none have been bad as of yet. You just have to read carefully. Personally I only use paypal...never western union, especially overseas...I have had friends that have been burned this way. Always check ratings and read feedback to familiarize the workings of the seller. I also usually deal with stores but occasionally will bid from private sellers. This is what I acquired during dec. all items were new...reels with boxes, papers, tools/oils, and registration cards...rods still with factory plastic, tags, and warranties http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1230612436/0

I would recommend the president...The best spinning reel I have used hands down with a low price tag...The quantum incyte is also a great reel

Timmy Horton seems to be getting pretty good at it

Not fished it but have handled it in stores and i can say that if I had the extra cash....I would have one

Pflueger President

I actually have fished a wacky rig on a 3/0 ewg then use about an inch or so of an old worm rigged basically texas rigged

I'm gonna say when I've got the cabin fever. Started in the summer when I was cooped up in bed after surgery and not able to fish and now it's winter......... so yeah

At the walmarts near me they have red, yellow, and blue. I have a yellow but out grew it quick. Now I have the browning 3700 bag from bps

definitely looks like some type of norman

I have a 7'MH that is going into rotation as a spinnerbait rod this year...they are a little heavy but used to use mine as a T-Rig rod for larger worms and to fish with at night. a great rod for the price and even though it's a little heavier, balanced right it can be fished with all day

personally, I'm not "sold" on the color. The results posted by KVD in many tournaments with the color are undeniable but he can find and catch the fish using his style when no one else can, like in florida. I do have some sexy shad baits but have yet to really fish them.

Personally, I would use one rigged with a senko type bait and the other a spinnerbait or a shallow diving crank...maybe a baby 1-minus or norman Thin-N

Norman Thin and Mad N Mann's baby 1-minus and C4 elite Bomber Model A

The new Pro Qualifiers are the new Pflueger Presidents and the Johnny Morris Signatures are Pflueger Patriarchs. Pflueger is a pure fishing brand just as Abu Garcia is

x321 :'( it makes me sad

added lunkerville and requested to join Bassresource

Pflueger Patriarch from ebay...if you look around you can get them for less than 130

What did the Carrot Gold cost? 138 from ebay

Of the two stated....the Curado....but you can get a Plueger Patriarch which is probably my favorite reel I have for well under msrp on ebay.

Bought a curado 200e7 on ebay for 150 shipped...The cruxis seems to be a descent reel for 99

HAHA..you're not the only one to make that observation but the energy replaced my old crankin reel and I sold the wide spool to a friends granny for christmas. Simmonssportinggoods is a great store on ebay. The have some good deals and I hear that their customer service is good...although I have had to contact them.

I recently purchased both a 7'H Magnesium and a 6'10''MH Carrot Stix Gold but haven't had much of a chance to test them out but what I have done so far gets me to say that either would be a great choice.

It's decent line, especially for the sale price of the bulk spool. It has some manageability problems as it does have some memory to it but it is relatively strong and sensitive. I've mainly used the heavier sizes for catfish but do have some of the 12lb blue line that I use for night fishing and trolling cranks for walleye.

The new President and BPS Pro Qualifier are pretty much the same reel. As is the Patriarch and the BPS Johnny Morris Signature. That being said, the Patriarch is a great reel. I just bought two from ebay. The cast and retrieve smoothly and are really light. The dual braking is wonderful as well, unlike with some reels, the cetrifugal brake is enough on it's own but the magnetic adds to being able to dial it in on your own fishing style and abilities.

Strike King Pure Poison......even though I've never even had a fish take notice of it....
