  1. There might be one or two others that handle a little better.
  2. Your buddies are what I call chest-thumpers. They want to make everything bigger then it really is and they couldn't do it if they used a scale.
  3. WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Simple , that's the way most of them were raised , they don't care, all they want to do is beat the system. I'm curious to read some of their responces I know we're going to get here.
  5. Fast or extra-fast is the action you want. Med or med-hvy is just the power rating of the rod. Parabolic rods are not for t-rigs.
  6. WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Usually no unless you are using cheapie rods.
  18. Enough to keep me happy.
  19. Four of my six Setyr rods have that arrangement, and it doesn't work for me. I still tend to cast with the reel handles up. The hook keeper on the opposite side catches the line when I swicth hands and rotate the reel back upright to start the retrieve. It's a pain in the membrane, and has cost me a couple if fish when I set the hook with the line wrapped around the keeper. I'd cut "em off if the rods didn't have lifetime warranties. On my Avid rods, the same style hook keeper is on the handle side, and causes no problems. But the worst of all is the keeper on my Airrus spinning rod. It's the open rail type, mounted on top of the rod. No problems during the cast. But, on an erratic retrieve, the line is always getting caught in the keeper. There is quite a bit of space between the reel face and the first guide, and the keeper is just about dead center between them. Precisely in the wrong place. I'm am going to remove that one, lifetime warranty be dipped. I have several rods that did not come with hook keepers, and I've put Fuji EZKeepers on those. I like these the best. I can put them where I want them. They are over-priced for a piece of plastic and two O-rings, but they do get the job done. The O-rings seem to be good for about two years. Replacements O-rings are cheap and readily available. The Fuji's also keep the hook point well away from the rod. I've been using these for a while, and have noticed no damage the the finish underneath them. Cheers, GK How does the line catch on it when its 180 degrees from it ?
  20. Where's an engineer when you need one??????????
