so im 11hrs and 4 min form owning my first gloomis 6' medium fast action 6-12 lb 1/8-3/8 oz rod and was talking to a friend who is a big lamiglas fan not sure bout the lamiglas i was told that when it came to fishing gloomis was the rod of choice should i cancle my bid on ebay and look into a lamiglas or are they both great rods btw im curently in the lead with a bid of 70 dollars and the rod is brand new is that to much to pay for a gloomis cause i see a lot more on ebay for a lot more money thx again for all the help ;D

and also if some one can explain whats the dif.. between the triumph series the premire series and the avid series i would greatly appreciate it ty again ;D

ty all again for the advice... now its time to talk tackle what to try at dif... times in the season what to try now ect... ;D 8-)

so im assuming that as the model numbers go up the reel gets bigger having said that would a shimano saros 4000f do the trick?? found one for 117.00 + shipping on ebay and want to jump on it while its still there!!

looking for a club in the NW burbs like itasca, elgin, bensenville, wood dale, ect...... you can contact me via email at citizenkane145@yahoo.com ;D ;D

and once again ty all for the advice ;D ;D ;D ;D

looked at the diawa pfluger and shimano reels on line and have decided to go with the shimano saros. does it matter what model cause theres a lot of models of saros :-/

so i have decided to go with the avs66mhf and now am looking for a reel looked at the shimano curado and as much as i value all of your opinions i don't think i want a bait caster looking for a spinning reel any suggestions? does shimano make a good spinning reels or should i go with a dif. brand thank you all again for all your help every one ;D

so i was reading a different thread about the LTB rods and wondered should i stick with the avid series i was intending to purchase or spend the bulk of my money on a good quality species specific rod and get a reel at a later date like my next paycheck but then i was looking at the rods on st croix's site and realized that i have no idea what these techniques that they use to recommend a rod length and sensitivity combo so i was wondering is a LTB a bit to advanced for my skill level which is inexperienced at best??? with so many choices im confused as all i have ever fished for in the past is crappie bluegill and perch.

thank you all for the suggestions and i realized only after i did more digging on st croix's site that the pearl was a rod geared more for the female angler LMAO so that one is out of the running and thx for the model #'s on the st croix rods that helps a ton well hopefully i get the check in the bank today and can go get my self geared up for some pre season fishing once i get the rod/reel combo what lb test should i be using and what are some good lures and lure colors for this time in the bass season

so there are about a ton of st croix avid rods on the st croix site im assuming that it should be a avid spinning rod but do i need the avid or the avid pearl and at what length ill be fishing mostly lake redstone in reedsburg WI we have a home up there and they hold a lot of bass tournaments there but as I'm definitely not ready for a tournament yet i would like to try my hand in them in the fall once i get down the techniques for catching the monsters

got about $250 to spend thats all the wife will allow for now lol and i know the rod is going to cost about $100 so i got about $150 to spend on a reel and im better with a open face reel cant seem to get the baitcaster down yet having bad backlash problems and wind up putting it back in the car after about 2 or 3 casts so the rod im looking at is a mojo bass made by st croix un sure bout the length though thanx for the post and looking forward to more responses

guys this will be my first time posting on any forum so i hope i get this right so here goes :-? need some help choosing a real/ rod combo for the bass fishing i intend to do this season starting in pre-spawn season i was thinking of going with a st croix rod 6'6" to 7'0" but dont know what to do about a reel any suggestions should i go open face or baitcaster and what brand, and is this even the right rod length to be useing? thanx guys and gals look forward to hearing from yall soon
