my vote for dumbest comment of the year. no one cares how many double digits you've caught dude. no one cares what you caught them on either.

The F7-72X THP would be the best frog rod of the bunch. The F6-67X SD would work for close quarters frogging under overhanging trees/brush.

The BD is a great light to moderate cover jig/plastics rod. Has a true fast action unlike many MB sticks which are more moderate. The SD also has a true fast action and more power than the BD. Good for plastics in moderate to heavy cover. Also good for heavier spinnerbaits. The F4-67T is a shorter version of the Tomahawk and good for shallow cranks/topwaters/jerkbaits.

That's a pretty good intro set of older MB sticks. Is the F7-72X THP a telescoping model? It is a good heavy cover plastics pitching rod. The F4-610XDti is the 'Elseil' and great for topwaters and jerkbaits especially. Still have mine. Good with spinnerbaits as well if you like a more moderate rod for the technique. The tomahawk is for crankbaits primarily. Great find!

You don't "need" it but it will definitely put a smile on your face. It does a lot of things very well... Have quite a few pricey sticks but still one of my all-time favorites for sure.

If you dont mind the length at 7ft, the GLX 842 MBR is a great jerkbait stick.

defier armillo 13#

I had one for a couple of years. Was a good all-around stick. Sensitivity was very good but not amazing like the 893c or the 852s that I have now. Dont think it is worth MSRP but for 40% off it would be a great deal.

you might have stripped some teeth off of your idle gear which is attached to the worm shaft. not hard to do if you get something like cloth or paper stuck in the worm gear as it's made out of plastic. part 25 in the diagram below. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-black-max-1701-ambassadeur-parts-c-187196_194578_194580.html

which model is that?

tackletrap.com great guys to deal with

you're fine with the FC for small crankbaits and jerkbaits but I would recommend using mono or a copoly for topwaters as FC sinks. you could use braid with either a FC or mono leader or go the more "enthusiast route" and get another spool for your sv105

not sure about a specific line type for bombing jerkbaits but i think something that is more supple without memory and with a thinner diameter will be easier to cast for distance especially with lighter jerkbaits around 1/4oz. i use sniper 6-10# and defier 11# for most of my jerkbait fishing in really clear water and have never thought i needed more distance. my 6'8" and 6'10" jerkbait sticks are used the most
