Carrington

is the MBR844C a sensitive rod? like could i feel the fish messing with the lure.

i forget the number for my rod but it is the crankbait 6 foot 6 medium power and i believe mod/fast action

I just got an amazing g.loomis crankbait rod and am now looking for the best spinnerbait and topwater baitcasting rods that g.loomis makes. could someone please let me know what they are.

thanks for the advice

thanks for all the help guys

thank yall for the advice

ya they are impossible to break ive heard. ive pulled up a 6ft wide skate(sting-ray) with one on a pier

ok, i have a cheap ugly stick and shakespeare reel ill use down at the beach then

im hoping it will outlive us all

ill be fishing freshwater lakes 99% of the time. but i may goto the beach every now and then

ya i was getting all the information i could for the reel thats why your seeing alot of posts by me. but i have the 5.0:1 model. the CL200APV

you have a good point about not going near saltwater lol, i may take that advice because i cannot afford to fix this thing lol

i just recently bought a shimano calais and am wondering if it is dumb to use it for fresh and saltwater. it says that it is saltwater rated but still... Do yall think it will ruin the reel if i saltwater fish every now and then with it?

ive got a new shimano calais being shipped to me now, when its time do yall think i could service it myself. such as full cleaning, lubing, and oiling.

ok, thanks guys

is he reliable and charge reason prices?

where exactly did you send your shimano?

thankyou stasher

thankyou for the information brujo

ya im thinking of using #12 fluro but im not sure if braid is better or not

same, i lov emy spinning setup for senkos and such and my bc for cranks and other heavy stuff

Brujo, you should try swivel clasps if thats what they are called, so you can quickly change lures without retying knots. it works for me.

ive been pretty happy with my shimano sehara reel. its like $70-80 in price, but you should go check that out.

I was if i should use 12-14lb fluro or 20-30lb braid on my crankbait reel and rod.

so now that i got the reel, what do yall think about the g.loomis CBR845C
