The Abu's do look great have not tried one but I have bought some of the New Skeet Reese Series Wright and McGill rods and they are sweet they are black and Yellow and are flashy but I like them and they have a lifetime warranty my local tackle shop will replace them on the spot. My favorite one is the 7'-6" Swimbait/Carolina Rig Rod. These rods are $89.99 almost everywhere I would check them out before I mad a decision they are designed for the Abu Garcia Revo's specifically but will work well with any reel. I dont think you can go wrong with them IMO. Good Luck!

It is definitely the original Revo S. You can get them at Walmart all day for $99.

I have had the same issues with them more than once. I always carry the catalog and or print the online price/ad. It is a good idea to do this because I have found that regular priced items in the catalog or online are cheaper than the store prices so I try and make a grocery list so to speak with prices to refer to it might only be .50 cents but it all adds up at the end. it is all a little deceptive if you ask me. But they always fix it. It may take extra time but they will make it right.

I have definitely enjoyed the forum it is chalked full of info. Thanks for all the kind welcomes and PM's.

I use and love the Yum Money Minnow in the 5-1/2" version. I have caught quite a few over 4lbs this year with it. The large mouth love them as well. I use them year round believe it or not. You won't load the boat with numbers but your average size will be greater on it. It is my go to bait.

I like 5 and 1/2 inch Soft Plastic Swimbaits rig with a 6/0 1/4oz belly weighted Swim bait hook shanked hook not screw kind.
