Hammer 4

Keep my Hooks Sharp.. ;D

Haha...in our city parks..bas have been known to take ducklings, and rodents..

Spinning, baitcasting...they are both good rods.. ;D

So.Cal.. Bluegill, trout, crappie, shad, crawdads.

Throw a 8" swimbait out there...they work all year..

I know more than a few guys that have the Cumara rods, paired up with Curados..nad they fish them alot..they are pretty satisfiyed with them.

If I can land a 7 1/2 lb trout on a cheap 29.00 spinning rig with 3lb test, you can certainly handle a "big" bass on that rig...

There was a thread re: 1 and 2 pc rods not long ago. Here's the link. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1263760365

Nope, 1 yr. warranty, If you keep the reciept..mine broke..so I speak from experience..was my fault it broke though.

X 2 re: the xtra fast.

Curado is a good choice. The bps extrem rods are nice, I had one. However I would spring for the Crucial..lifetime warranty, plus the rods aren't bad either..

Nope, sounds like a good idea though...I'm just worried about the extra weight.. ;D

Unless your throwin em in Heavy cover....yes.

IMHO, a competent spin rig user can do anything a baitcaster can do..Do what works best for you.

I use as small as 4lb for finesse and weightless...of course, it depends on the conditions you have..i.e. heavy structure, rocks ect..Normally I'll have 6lb YoZuri Ultrasoft for weightless, and 10 or 12 lb yozuri for cranks.

TW is great about confirming your order. Also great that I get my stuff in 2 days or less...and, as above, the bummer is we have to pay outragous sales tax.. >

Good to see you made it here from SBN...Welcome aboard..

Highend swimbaits..one good example, Mattlures click the link. http://www.***.com/catpage-SWMMATT.html

You should see some of the highend swimbaits...awesome action ...sorry dude, I tried..

Dunno who makes it, I looked all over trying to find it. Where did you buy it..?

I'm kind of a Shimano guy, but I admit, I almost bought a Fuego not long ago when they were on sale at bps.

Oh...sorry Wayne....then I take it back... ;D

Sweet....My guess is, your gonna like it..I do..

I meant the $20.00 ones...

I picked the Chronarch over the Curado, cuz I thought it was smoother..reel size doesn't matter much to me...
