Is this common? I've been thinking about this quite a bit as I think towards getting my first baitcaster. It's totally what I'm planning on doing. I'm right handed, but somewhat ambidextrous and prefer to do some things with my left hand - reeling is one of them. all my spinning reels are left handed but when it comes to my casting gear its all right hand retrieve. it just feels more comfortable to me but everyone is differant.

ok so im in the market for a flipping stick , ive have mostly st croix rods but am willing to go to other rods companies and really am looking for suggestons from everyone on a new rod.im looking to spend upto $200. kelly

i shredded a pair of hip boots last year salmon fishing cause of those stupid things.

anytime i know im gonna be fishing around them a leader is a must.

here in the great lakes and in lake winnebago we have them and something new to us called the quagga (sp) musscle..they are razor sharp and braid is not a good thing to use around them.. they are a pain in the you know what.

i have to agree with you fishing frogs in heavy cover is a quick way to scare the heck out of ya but wow is it fun...by far my favorite way to fish

i plan on useing it for deep cranks and spinnerbaits.

ok so here is the delema.. im in the market for a new reel and im stuck between the shimano curado and the quantum energy for a new reel. im looking for a 5.0:1ish reel now i know there seems to be alot of shimano people here and maybe some people could give me some insite on the 2 reels. i like my other energy reels but would like to try something else too.

mr walleye has a mrs walleye series thats looks almost like bassguys rod. my wife has 2 of them and loves em.

drum or sheephead same thing, they are everywhere in lake winnebago by me.

the new rapala dt-fat01 is a non rattle wake bait.

awesome job.. i too like my code, not a favorite of mine but it works well, i do how ever love my energy. if i had to do it all over again i would just save the money and move up the the energy over the code.

to be honest i really like my code but if i was to do it all over again i would spend a little more and upgrade tyo the energy, it casts a lot better then the code and is just smoother. but all in all there is nothing wrong with the code its a good cheap reel.

i really like my energy reel, i got the 7.1 and am very happy

i know some are going to deagree with me but my first nice baitcaster i got a quantum code, its not the ferrari of casters but its under $90 and its easy to use and i thought easy to learn with but thats just me. so far its been over a year and ive had no problems with it even though ive updgraded to the tour models its something to think about. kelly

neenah and metrasha are 2 differant cities but yes

just thought i would pop in and introduce myself......ive been fishing since i could hold a pole and have an addiction.....oh wait this isnt the right place for that..haha anywho hi. kelly
