No can help with fishing down there, but I can welcome you to the forum . There should be a few folks here that have some experience in NM lakes who will hopefully chime in soon. Good luck.

Holy cow, those are beasts!

Forever known for the Knee-ster-ception...oh wait, nevermind. Sorry Atlanta, just wasn't in the cards this year. Credit to the Eagles and a lot of heart. Foles shook off first quarter jitters.

Welcome aboard!

From what I understand, K is a bit beefier than the 70. I haven't used either, just made the recommendation since the Chronarch 50e is no longer sold (except used). I prefer smaller reels all around for weight, comfort. Power is not a problem at all.
-
Welcome aboard! I use a Chronarch 50e for both fresh/salt. I would also consider a Curado 70, or a Daiwa Tatula model.

I'm feeling it's a home-team weekend across the board. But I wouldn't count the Saints out vs. Vikes. That'll be a very good game.

Welcome back! Happy fishing in SK!

I like Gamma Edge the best of what I've used thus far.

Welcome aboard!

Nice reviews! When I used to beat the banks and docks there just weren't enough good backpacks around. Still on the high-priced side, but as @NYWayfarer said, paraphrased, they're worth the $ if it's what you want.

By the time this tech reaches the rod market, there will be built-in power, or tiny batteries that slide in the butt end of the rod that can also be used for counter-balancing! Or we might even have solar-powered-self-healing rod blanks!! We'll have to get Phil Swift to do the promo.

Self-healing rod tips! Here's proof it's possible...in theory...hypothetically speaking. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/11/lamborghini-creates-self-healing-sports-car/

I have a LTWS63MLXF which was really nice...until it met with an untimely shortening of about 6 or 8 inches. I'm holding out for the day I can warranty replace it. Was a really nice rod. Actually had the AVS63MXF and did the Gold Star Upgrade to the LTW. But even then, I like the shorter a tad more. I shortened my Premier to 5'9" on purpose, LOL. Great little rod, that. If/when I warranty the LT, I'll keep it at 6'3". Great rod.
-
Was gonna suggest the Premier as well. As most know, because I've said it a bunch of times, I prefer shorter rods. Also 5'7" and the longest I will use (as of now) is 6'6" with 5'9"-6' being the sweet range for me. It is simply a preference. I feel long rods are more unruly when fishing from kayak, but I get why people like them. Just isn't how I roll. That said, I can see their potential in open waters, now that I'm fishing salt for striper, etc. There are times I want a really long cast but just can't quite get to the spot with my 6 footers. But this hasn't pushed me to switch. For me there's still the manageability of the rods in my yak.

Good golly! Those are HUGE! Congrats!

Agree with Jax (Sacksonville) D. That's a top D, and I am pleased the Bills hung with them for most of the game. Not sure the Titans will go past Pats. But its anyone's to win. Wouldn't shed a tear if Pats lose to Titans or victor of Steelers/Jax.
