need reason to buy all star 845mc rod
may just buy the cranking specific then it is a tas845cb rod i have a topwater rod i use for topwaters and small cranks but would like a rod specifically for the traps and bigger cranks 3/8 to1/2 im not a 20 rods guy but will end up with about 6 baitcasting rigs all rods will be in the team allstar freshwater seriesd as i just love what you get for the money ! and i kinda neede them to be somewhat versatile ...the 845mc is a mag asting rod so i figured it was kind of a good multipurpose rod ?

why 1 piece aluminum frame on reels
thx andamtoft say you have the silvermax,, what is the drag power or have you caught any big fish i want this to put on a carolina rig rod and ill do some style of flipping or pitching with braid on it i figure in thast application the line and rod fight the fish,,, i already know from the promax i have the max series reels cast farther than just about any reel at all,,,im only concerned about the drag i had a blackmax and caught several 3-5lb fish on it with no trouble at all,,,,anf the promax can horse them is as well ,,,guess i shouldnt let price deterine my choices as these max reels have worked flawlessly

Abu SilverMax or BPS Extreme reel
if the extreme can cast with the silvermax then its a heck of a reel,,,i fishes with a silvermax about 10 different times last year on a 6'6 crankbait rod with 10 lb cajun red cast ,,,farthest ive ever thrown a 1/4 oz crankbait and other people took notice,,,,, oh yeah i was in a stocked pond with where i caught close to 10 fish in excess of 5lbs and the silvermax reels them in just fine,,,,, i will admit though it doesnt reel as smooth as my revo s or revo sx but then again we get what we pay for

since braid is so strong
no i am with ya on those points im all for better rods i am using all all star im10 rods now that i just purchsed a 7ft mh 846c carolina rig ,,,ill probably use it more for flipping or pitching or chunking a frog,,,,,, its kinda of a middle road for me here its not a 7'6 flipping stick but not real light either
-
since braid is so strong
do you really need a 7ft6" heavy flippoing stick i mean braid is not gonna brak so do you really need the broom stick ....reason i ask is i dont like the feel of heavy and some medium heavy rods they are not as sensitive ,,,,all star makes a 845mc mag cast rds 7ft medium i was thinking of putting 65lb braid on it and t being my frog and pitching rod and maybe light fdlipping ,,,does anone use this techinique or agree disagree with this ?
