yo

i will definitely look into all that was mentioned. as far as transporting a 1 pc rod inside a minivan, is there a safe way to do that? i could not find a hard case container to contain a 6ft plus rod. pvc piping perhaps?thanks to all that responded.

hey all. looking for a rod to complimentw my stradic ci4 2500 mainly for T-rigs. has to be a 2 piece rod for easy transport unless anyone can recommend a safe way to transport a 1pc inside a stuffed minivan

thanks for the suggestions guys. that basspro combo that RW posted does look good enough for me. i was really looking for a rod that has the backbone & durability of an ugly stick. sirsnookalot i'll have to check out the redbones. thanks again

let me rephrase "looking into".... haven't actually bought the reel yet and the stradic just caught my attention. will be using lures also. i just prefer live bait. price? anything under $250 hopefully for both rod & reel who's pairing a stradic with an ugly stik? i thought i asked for a rod that compliments the stradic & even then, is it a forbidden sin to pair the two? i'm still open to suggestions

hi all, new member with 1st post looking for a good compromise of rod & reel. looking for freshwater apps using mainly live bait (night crawlers) but exploring some lures also. i currently use an ugly stik & love it's strength & it's plenty sensitive for me. looking into the shimano stradic CI4 as a reel but don't know what rod will compliment it. would appreciate any advice u guys can give. thanks
