what to look for in a flippin/pitchin rod?
If you will be using it for both flippin/pitchin the size depends on how tall you are. I am 6' 2" so a 7' 6" rod works well for both techniques for me. You want the strongest rod you can find that is still very sensitive with a semi soft tip to detect strikes. I have tried flippin sticks from Shimano to Daiwa before i finally found the perfect one for me. It is a 7' 6" Powell Max 766H. This thing is an absolute brute yet extremely light and ultra sensitive. At $169.00 with all Fuji components and EXTRA sensitivity, it was perfect for me. BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on FIRE!!!!!!!!
LOL, i thought i was going to get it too man! We actually tried Rage Tail Toads and Shads with only one missed strike! The pads/hrydrilla in the pic are in 7ft of water. I got her flippin' a 10" Berkley Power Bait worm in all black. She put up one heck of a fight too!

Yes sir, you are correct! I am brand new to braid. After loosing the fish of a lifetime with fluorocarbon i made the switch! I will try this FileLine though! Also, will braid cut into Alconite Fuji guides? THANKS

How to Fish cattails
Man, i thought i was going crazy last week because i witnessed this! There was a big black/red duck swimming with like 8 little ones following in and out of bullrush fields. Then bass started attacking them and managed to take 2 down. The ducks where only about 4" long though!
-
No more, never again.
I just recently sold about $200 worth of lures and tackle that i never used! I just left the stuff i catch bass on and always have. If it aint broke.............................................

How to Fish cattails
I always use a 7-10" ribbon tail worm(vary colors) with an 1/8oz weight and 14lb fluoro for this. I will start on the weedline and breaks then proceed to pick apart the inside until i find them.

Well after a full day of fishing the Suffix and Power Pro, neither are a walk in the park! They both dig into their selves pretty bad. Both leak color all over everything. Both are a PITA when they kink and both make a horrific noise when coming through the guides! But...................i got a hit from a 7lb 6oz bass in thick pads/hydrilla and had absolutely no problems horsing it in. So, i will leave the braid on for now i guess!

how important is the internet to you as a fishing resource
Extremely important to me, crucial i would say! Especially this website! There is always someone who knows more than you and willing to help.

The monkey made me do it, (thats my story and im stickn' to it..)
That little sucker got me good today! I went to BPS to exchange a broken Crankin Stick and get some braid but left with enough lures, hooks and weights to fill a new tackle box!!!

Yes indeed, that and cleaning my reels!!!

Finally switching!!!!!
I hope so man! I got all the line in 65lb test! I will be fishing some serious lily pad/hydrilla mix fields tomorrow at first light!

Finally switching!!!!!
My first complaint already about both Power Pro and Suffix is that the color bleeds all over the reel and rod!!! Not cool at all!!!! >
-
Finally switching!!!!!
My research shows that Suffix is an 8 strand as well? Anyway, i bought a couple spools of Suffix today and a couple of Power Pro. Since my bro fishes with me most of the time, we are going to test them back to back! THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
