But he was more than willing to grab the smallie. Nice job buddy. The gar was awesome as well. Probably our best trip yet.

Save...that's something I'm not too good at. Everyone tells me to save...maybe I should listen to the experienced people that have actually gone through my current stage of life. After I get my next rod and reel...I'll start! haha

Sam, it's hilarious how all of your posts about my future involve setting everything up BEFORE I get married. Haha, I plan on going to college and hopefully getting a good job that will allow me to feed this monkey that never leaves me alone!

If I could "plus 50" I would brushhoggin. Nicely done.

I've used both and like Fireline braid the most BY FAR.

Nope, should be no more than 2. That is an suped up Zillion, and the Type R is a suped up 50th.

A very good jig, I like Northstar jigs WAY more. As long as it's a jig and has a RT on the back, it's good. Edit: Like that color combo as well.

Dang John...you got on 'em good. Zillion is tight, once I got it tuned in. The drag is really weak though, lost a sho 'nuff 10+ today on a Spro Frog due to the drag slipping. I'll probably upgrade it once I get the Type R and DX744.

The more I use my favorite the more I appreciate how much better the Zillion is than any reel I have ever had. Daiwa/Dobyns for me.

Zillion 100SHA Dobyns Champion 735c 50# Fireline Braid

Email Strike King, they'll set you straight.

I would say go up to 8 pound InvisX to be honest man. If you're getting a lot of 5+ pound fish, heavier line would be extra reassuring.

The kid has no interest whatsoever in fishing, so he didn't understand why me and another kid were so pumped.

Spro Frog in the slop. Lately I've been doing well stroking Rage Craws in deep water.

A long rod will not feel weird, I would suggest a Dobyns 765.

That was more or less a joke, LOL.

Spro Frog! After seeing how MASSIVE the King Daddy version is the other day, I want one!

Took 3 friends out today to try and put them on a couple bass. Wouldn't ya know it, one of them catches his first bass....a 7 pounder. This goes to show that being in the right place at the right time is KEY. He caught it on a worm with an Eagle Claw pre-rigged leader, spincaster and 20 year old 6 pound mono. I still don't know how he landed it. It was just hilarious, we were all dying laughing. Here's a pic, don't know how it will come out as it was a camera phone.

How do you like the Champion?

This year: 32 pond fishing today. All under 3 pounds, but man they were killing a Spro frog. Lost one that would have been 8+.

LOL, a lot of people think they are the best things ever made. I have a Champ 735 that is perfect for what I use it for, feels amazing, just no bling to add a wow factor. The DX on the other hand is a sick looking rod.

Nope, I was comparing the Core to the Steez. They are on the same level, though the Steez is very expensive.

To quote the infamous Kent Smith, as I literally quote him on a forum; "A pig with lipstick is still a pig."

Sounds to me like you need to sell that BPS crap and buy a Dobyns Savvy.
