New Rapala Shift Rods (Canada)
you can buy these at a bunch of stores in montreal. I havent seen these but last year they had one out called the r-type. Great rods for the money. One of my buddies loaded up on 4 of them for a tourney and he loves them.

Trigger-X soft plastices?
I baught a bunch of packs last year and ended up giving them away. They were horrible. They were like fishing with a popsicle. The baits were a little too bio-degradeable. They are on liquidation in montreal for super cheap. I talked with a rep for rapala and they said there formula was off and they had to fix it because they had too many complaints. Thats why they stopped making them in the green packs and launched the new agrresion series which will be more like traditional plastics in a bag. Aparently they fixed there durability issued and this years products will be winners. I will try them and will post the results.

Crossed over to the dark side ...Shimano core 100mgfv
Simply put........ that reel is amazing. I have one sitting on a cumara 6'8 MH extra fast and it is a killer combo. You need to put that reel on a shimano rod. It was built for a shimano. Sounds like a good oportunity to put one on a new cumulus!!! I will be upgrading two of my curodos to core 50's this year.

Red Power Pro ????
I have been using green power pro for 2 years and i love it. I have often wondered what the red was for. I thought it might be good for applications where i use a leader therefore giving me more line visibility which would be good. If you have or do use it have you noticed any differences from green power pro?

I just don't like the color !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theres NO color on my cumara, the rod is all dark gray w/black grips, boring looks but it is a good rod. The Steez Fle-X-Lite series are beautiful rods for a non-custom. Thats what i like about them they are a graphite-charcoal color. Thats my favorite color. Nice clean sleek look. Im not down with all that fancy shiny stuff

I just don't like the color !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nicest colored and styled rods are the cumaras. They are stealthy. None of that bling or fancy stuff just a beautiful graphite. The crucials are also very nice in the sun.

Buying a first all-purpose baitcaster rod/reel.....opinions?
Your best buy will be off the fishing flea market on this site. Check it out everyday and you will find a great deal. Might be a bit used but you could get a rod reel combo for half price. So either buy a 200$ combo new or buy a 400$ combo off the flea market slightly used for 200$. You will get a much better combo for the money than buying it new. I would wait and check the flea market

X-fast tips....
That 's exactly the idea, the hook point reaches the point of entry in the tissue faster in an extra fast tip that it does with a fast tip, also, it reduces the ammount of energy necessary to set the hook because the rod is stiffer at the the tip and has to bend less. Now, how faster it is ? miliseconds How less energy is needed ? a few newtons But, as usual it depends, there are days when a bass hits a bait and literally munches on it, on days like those it makes no difference if you have a fast tip over an extra fast, and there are days when bass barely mouths the bait and spits it right away, on days like those the extra fast tip helps you to hook the fish before it spits the bait. so for finess fishing extra fast would have added bonuses over fast. What about with spinnerbaits and buzzbaits?

X-fast tips....
Does it change anything for hooksets??? Harder or easier to set the hook??? Someone told me you have to be a lot faster to set than with a fast tip.
