lmao :) ME TOO!!!!!

I use a spinning rod and reel. I like a medium-heavy to medium-light xfast rod, what I call 70/30 ,70 percent backbone and 30 percent tip , to get the right kind of skip. It has to give a little. The stiffer the rod, the harder it is to skip with because you've got to use more arm motion or Do it Bill Dance style with the ZEBCO 202. Hold the button down bend the rod back and ping shoot it right under the dock. Honestly I have never done it but it was cracking me up watching him do it on TV. Only Big Bill could get away with that one

yea...santa is coming to orlando in july....start your lists!!!!! ;D

everyone becomes a sellout after time,look at KVD hes got his name slapped and labeled on everything,we'd all do the same,a rod priced in a lower budget will inturn sell more to noob anglers or guys on a budget and inturn fill skeets pockets even more.im willing to bet they will incorperate his trademark black and yellow in the new rods,kinda cant wait till icast to see what they look like.but an eagleclaw for $90????? kinda skerry :-/

And you can sit there and state that this isn't confusing? Think about the target market for this product. Its not the guy using the rod and reel that will be buying it. It will be a wife or son or daughter that purchases it as a gift. The item is specifically placed on back page, where higher price point items are usually featured. A "Half Off!!" sale price on something that looks like a $200 item is like crack to the target audience.Its not a bad deal, don't get me wrong, but it isn't that good. It's not confusing to me Looking at it from other's point of view... even my description was confusing. I can assure you that the people responsible for the ads at BPS will watch this thread. What precisely would you like to see them do differently with a promotion like this next time? Not list a value maybe? What if they took more room in the ad & flat out stated something like... "We took our current Pro Qualifier reel and made the gears out of duraluminum instead of brass..." I'm not assuming they are going to do what you ask, but I guarantee they'll listen to suggestions as to what people like & don't like. im no rocket scientist but im going to go out on a limb here and assume you work at or for bass pro in some sort of way,cause i dont think any normal person would care to much or argue this much over a sunday ad let alone a housebrand reel imo. lmao. also going out on a limb that this thread will be locked in a few,so keep going with the debates b4 its over.lol ;D

look on feebay for an abu garcia revo sx,shimano curados,or pflueger summit/asaro...all great reels imo,and oh'yea...avoid quantum lol

bass are you even getting hits/strikes? if yes then try sliting open the belly for the hook to move easier when setting it,i will sometimes nose hook my swimbaits for better action also.

i use old small cd wallets to stuff spinnerbaits in then stuff that in my tackle bag.

if you or your uncle is handy you should be able to whip one of them out on a lathe or belt sander in no time,or have him look for a lure maker but imo i cant see a lure like that taking much time to finish.

id be scared to fish high end jdm stuff,like the daiwa ito,to me thatd be like using a ferrari as a winter car haha.

WOW...all this for housebrand stuff???? *rolls eyes*

just get this stuff,a reg. weight and a lighter and your all set http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90051____SearchResults

better/easier hooksets

whatever $200 or less rod feels good and right in your hand,thats the best!!!!

t-rigged either with a small weight on bottom, or weightless up top on the slop.but you can fish this bait so many ways,its awesome.

if the reese rod looks anything like his abu reel (black with yellow) then i have a gut feeling that rod will fly off the shelves,i know id buy one..also found this http://www.basszone.com/2009quickflips/skeet3.htm

i like my abu ext 5600 pro for the big pigs.i dunno though imo for me i dont like the feel of palming a round reel.

: *rolls eyes* : lame, but i vote for megan fox hahah!!!

space monkey(green),cane toads(white),12" worms(black or white) and 5'-8' diver cranks(sexy shad).

for panfish or trout? for panfish i just stick to cheap bass pro microlight rods under $50 and they do the job just fine for trout fishing i like the loomis trout series rods.imo

yea...what he said...up there...just got on the space monkey wagon and love this bait.

a 10" or 12" worm/snake....cause the big ones kill them

daiwa or pflueger..choice be yours

my uncle who lives in fl says its loaded with lunkers because the main population of fl, all the oldfarts who go to fl to retire and fish sit from the shore and use bobbers ;D

local shop by me has ONE new bucoo for demo i handled it and its sweet looking but i like the feel and handle of the carrot stick better still.IMO
