DINK WHISPERER

I would personally fish them if i were you. They are free game once in a public lake.

No it was listed as a carolina rig rod. It had heavier lure rating than the flippin stick(telescopic) and a fast tip. The flippin version was a moderate tip. I even called Falcon and told them what i was looking for and they recommended this one! My Shimano Crucial 7' 6" H/F is a crow bar compared to this thing. The tip on this one has way to much bend to it. It arcs like a mod action tip! Guess it's my problem now huh? :'(

Hey guys! I just received my new Falcon Cara T7(CC-7-176H) rod i ordered and i am a little disappointed. I opted for the one piece rather than the telescoping one because it was rated heavier and with a fast tip I got this rod as a flippin stick(it was labeled Carolina rig) and it is ridiculously thin! It feels kind of flimsy as well. The butt section is the size of some of my med/light rods! There is no way this thing is going to pull FL hawgs out of anything. Am i letting the looks of this rod fool me or is it too small? I want to here from guys that have this rod or any in the Cara T7 line up. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It is very nice to see ladies that enjoy the sport too! My wife wants nothing to do with it, LOL! Great job with the jig.

Dude, that was so wrong! You had me wanting to YAHOW! >

The palomar is the only knot i use for my BPS fluorocarbon. I have never had a break at the knot! Just saliva it good and cinch it slooooowly.

I have had very good luck with a Devil Horse top water lure in my local river system.

I use 4/0 & 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG Super Line hook. They are virtually bullet proof!

12" BPS black squirmin' worm, AWESOME!!!!

I absolutely hate when this happens! I have been made fun of for spending thousands on fishing gear from guys who spend thousands on drugs each year! But i'm the crazy one, go figure. : Heck, i have even seen the shirts with the hill billy fishing and lettering on them as well. My mom tells me, "why do you put so much effort into catching fish if you don't even eat them". Bottom line is, people who don't fish and don't like it will never understand it.

MAN, i wish i could meet KVD, that's awesome Glenn! Great interview as well.

Man that looks like a SWEEEEET lake to fish. Those tree branches in the water get me all rowdy about fishing, LOL! Congrats bros!!!!

Like i said, there are so many out there that would work. A really good/reliable set-up would be a St. Croix Mojo Bass rod in 7' MH/Mod and an Abu Garcia Revo S. The rod has enough backbone to fight the fish but also enough tip to throw lighter baits accurately. The reel is extremely smooth and has a 24lb drag system so you can adjust it for different line sizes. IMO, that would be a very versatile combo.

I would try a shaky head jig(weight depends on depth to be fished) and a zoom trick worm in watermelon seed or green pumpkin. Also, a finesse jig and craw tralier in natural colors as well.

That is a pretty awesome rod IMO. I had one that i used for pitching t-rigged plastics. It is sensitive and STRONG!

There are many applications that would work for you. It all depends on how serious you are going to be about bass fishing, budget and intended uses. I think a good all around set up would be a 6'6"-7' Medium or medium heavy rod paired with a bait caster that has at least 5 or more bearings and a 6:3:1 gear ratio. Just my thoughts.

The very few times i have been night fishing i had tremendous success with a 10" Berkley Power worm in black with a glass rattle in it.

How about a Shimano Crucial drop shot rod? I love the crucial line up of rods man!

It all depends on where i am throwing them. In shallow or light cover i use a 3/16oz. In heavier cover or deep water i like a 3/8oz.

I like to use them just about anywhere i can get them in. Especially in scattered cover areas. I use a big Chigger Craw trailer and have great success with that combo!

Double palomar knot

Ah, truer words have never been spoken, LOL!!!

BASSIN but for some reason they stopped selling it around here since Nov last year. I can't find it anywhere!?!

Like everyone else has stated, just put a EWG super line hook on there. I cast my frogs on 4/0-5/0 Gamakatsu hooks with a 7' 6" H/F flippin stick sometimes!

It is an excellent choice for the $ IMO. I have one on an Abu rod and i use it as a universal/beater combo. I really like the reel to be honest. It is smooth, strong and will cast a mile if set up right.
