My best friend uses a Shimano Crestfire for both fresh and salt...I've used it a few times and I think its a quality reel for the price...He just pulled a 27" snook out of the intercoastal before the freeze came

I own a Greenwater, which i've heard is the same as the GL3 series. My best friend uses all GL2 and GL3s, but he's bought all of them at a discounted price. I had the same problem as you, and I think i'm going to go with Lamiglas Excel which seems to be a great rod that won't break the bank. You may want to check that out too

yea the Excel that is priced @ $110

thanks guys...i looked at the Dobyns and they seem a tad bit out of my price range...and the Lumiglas looks awesome...does anyone use one? @id: not too sure, i'd call *** and find out...

yea brand new...tackle warehouse gives a discount to college anglers on their respective schools team

oh yeah, i really want a split grip rod for my next purchase...

hey guys, i bought a Citica for 75$ today and I'm trying to figure out what to pair it with. I fish cranks, hogs, and senkos. I was thinking about the new 7'2" Jig/Worm Skeet Rod or a Carrot Stick...I keep seeing these Bassmaster Classic commercials on ESPN and Skeet's using the Carrot. I fish mostly Loomis and I'm a bit apprehensive about other rods. I also liked the Shaw Grigsby Quantum Tour Rod, any suggestions???

I'm a college student that picked up fishing (again) about 1 1/2 years ago...I wanted a Loomis, so I spent all my money on a 7' MH GreenWater and decided on a Chromica to match it up with. A year and a half later, this is still the only set up I own. The Chromica is an unbelievable $80 reel, and I have a feeling I'm going to be blown away when I upgrade to a Citica or Curado. I fish mostly fresh, but I bought the set up for salt too. It's handled a 9lber as well as Reds fishing top water. My best friend has a 3 yr old Crestfire ($50 reel) that hasn't had a single problem. You cant go wrong with Shimano. Hope this helps.
