SWMIBASSER

Hello. My name is Lon, I've been on here reading for awhile and decided to join. I've got cabin fever so bad it's making me crazy. Can't wait to get out there. Lon

For not alot more than the mojo I would look to Rogue Rods.....My 6'6" model is lighter and more sensitive, and just as fast if not faster than my Loomis SHR. Granted the shakey rod is longer so that adds weight..... I like the SHR, but after spending more time looking around at other rods, there are others available that are just as good and a MUCH better value.

I picked up a ProLite Finesse casting reel at BPS yesterday. I honestly couldn't be happier. Seems like a great reel. And marked down to $69 from $100 regularly I think it was a good deal to. All the reviews were great except 2. Both complaining of casting distance with ultralight lures. IMO those reviews can be thrown out..... I'd much prefer spend my money on a better rod than uber expensive reel..... I matched that reel up with one of the Johnny Morris Elite rods.....I think I'm going to really like that rod. And compared to my loomis rod I can't stop thinking how much more rod for the money the elite rods are compared to the Loomis

That looks alot like the ones available from lurecraft.......Those are the heads used on the Poor Boy jigs. The LureCraft/Poorboy jigs don't have the provisions for eyes though if I remember right.
