Welcome aboard!!

Hey, Welcome to the Board! I am Sam's friend that might be moving to the central area of LA. It's a great website/resource that is here.

I'll be going this afternoon. I'm going to try and catch up with Jay when I am there. I'm back from the south and ready to start fishing!

Thanks for the heads up about the handle issue Team510. I didn't know about that, also welcome to the forums!

So, I gues with the lower gear raito you get more power, but the speed of a higher-gear ratio reel? I was thinking about getting the Pfluger Supreme XT, but now maybe not.

The Carbonlite spinning reel has some good looking numbers. Not sure how they get a 5.2 gear ratio reel to retrive 30" of line. But, I'll drink the Kool-Aid.

I was thumbing through the BPS catalog today and saw those new Carbonlite spinning reels at 6.6oz. It mentioned stainless steel bearings, nothing about ball bearings, that always kind of makes me think something is going on. The IPT with the Carbonlite reel at a 5.2to1 ratio was the same as the 6 to 1 gear ratio reels. But, I'm probably sticking with the choices above. But, I have a 6'-10" Powell Endurance spinning rod to put this on. Using it for 4" weightless Senkos and Plastic crawfish so, I should be pretty happy with either Pfleuger. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone, I am looking for some suggestions in spinning reels. I currently have a Shimano 2500 Sedona that has last a long time! I've caught a ton of fish on this reel, but I want a reel that is lighter and has a gear-ratio of 6:1. So, I am thinking about the Supreme MGX vs. XT to see if the $50 is worth the difference, the numbers (drag rating, weight) seem pretty close. Then, while looking around on BPS's website I stumbled upon the KVD sign. series spinning reel. So, seeing if anyone has opinions, what they like or dislike about each reel. I did search for the Supreme XT in this forum before posting this thread, and it seems this reel is really well liked. Thanks for the advice in advance, Wdy

Robert, nice and welcome to the forum! Nice bass in the picture. Hope you stay a long time!

Merry Christmas! I love checking the forums and seeing what everyone's comments. I love being on this forum.

Yes, welcome and I hope you stay a long time!!!

Welcome and enjoy!!

I love my Powell spinning rod!

Sean, I got some Roboworms. When we catch up to fish next time I will throw you some. Also, remeber I got that HUGE smallie on a Rage Craw so, try that!

Great catch!!!

Thanks! The fight was good, but I was cheating because i did not have usual smallie equip. I was rocking my Powell 723C with Cuardo 50E and 12# line. I personally thought it was a good size largemouth bass with the weight I felt at the other end on the hook set. I sent a picture of him to VA State and game fisheries nothing back from them about the fish. He was a beaut though!!!

Yep, thanks I had to pass that along to another BR memmer here.

How do you guys rig the Rage Craw? I caught this little fellow a couple of Saturday's ago with a T-rgged Craw. But, the bullet weight kept sliding around. I did not have any tooth picks to keep the weight from moving. Maybe I'm missing something, but I would like to keep the weight from moving around. Thanks,

Hayden, call me and I will meet you somewhere to fish. I have my 50E supertuned with bearings and drag upgrades. She is nice!
