OK, I have several "or" rods listed now and need to narrow it down....any thoughts? Baitcast: * Pitching and/or flipping - XC70HF or XC76MHMF or XC711HMF * Deep Crankin' - XC76MHMF * Spinnerbait & lipless - XC70MHF * General soft plastics - XC66MHF or XC68MXF * Small cranks, topwaters, finesse - XC68MXF * For close quarter fishing, - XC66MF or XC66MHF Spinning: * Finesse worms - XS66MHF * Light finesse - XS69MLXF or XS70MHF I can get the Xtreme series rods for about $30 more than I can get the LTB series...Dad has a friend...

This is Great, thanks! Any changes to the spinning rods?

I believe I am going with the Xtreme series after all. This is what I have come up with. Baitcast: * Pitching and/or flipping - XC70HF - 7' Heavy w/fast tip * Deep Crankin' - XC76MHMF - 7'6" Medium Heavy w/Med fast tip * Spinnerbait & lipless - XC70MHF - 7' Med Heavy w/fast tip * General soft plastics - XC66MHF - 6'6" Med Heavy w/fast tip * Small cranks, topwaters, finesse - XC68MXF - Med/xtra fast * For close quarter fishing, - either XC66MF or XC66MHF Spinning: * Finesse worms - XS66MHF - 6'6" Med Heavy/fast tip * Light finesse - XS69MLXF - 6'9" Med light/xtra fast tip Any changes you would make?

I have the TD Advantage 3000 spinning reel and want to get a lighter weight reel. Should I get the 2500 or the 2000. I understand the 3000 and 2500 are identical except the spool...is this correct? Any thoughts?

I had looked at the St. Croix LTB and the Elite, when someone said to look at the Hendrix. I like the split handle on the LTB and the components on the Elite.

I need about 6-8 rods with a mix of spinning and baitcast. I looked at the rods on the web site and there are just so many to choose from. What would a basic starter set of 6-8 rods be as far as models that Hendrix has for fishing North TX lakes?

Where can you find the Daiwa Fuego rod, the equal to the Zillion?

Has anyone compared the Zillion rods to the Powell rods?

They only have a 5 year limited warranty.

The only place I can find Zillion rods is on-line. Has anyone else found any locally?

Is there a rod guide for comparing Cumara and Zillion rods? I am wanting to get some Zillion's, but can't find a comparison chart.
