Veritas breakage issue...
Hey FAT G you should start looking at those Caras like we talked about as far as carrot stix go ive witnessed my fishing partner snap two on the hookset and its not like he has a big giant hookset and to me the veritas and the carrot stix feel exactly the same.

Revos and flipping
dual braking or any braking in that matter should not matter when pitchin and flippin.. the brakes should be taken off and the tension knob turned all the way down

PreTournamnet Jitters
I agree with Hot Rod. I pre fish two full days before a tournament and that will where you out pretty good so im usually out between 8:30 and 9:30 the night before the tournament. Some tournaments i fish though have a week off limits period. those are a little tougher but i go through all my gear and the boat then spend some "time" with my fiance and that usually helps

Rod for Jerkbaits
Falcon Cara T7 Micro Guide Casting Rod 6'7" Med Hvy Extra Fast "Weightless Worm" rod. It is one of the finest jerkbait rods i have ever used. I would never use it for any worm fishing its to soft. If you dont wana spend that much you can get the same rod in falcons lowrider series

Which Veritas (spinning) for tubes and wacky senkos?
*Perfect is not a good word for 2 different techniques. But if I had to select one Abu for those, it would be the 7ft MH spinning, or better yet the 7ft M casting. I agree on casting over spinning

Anyone have a Cara T7 7'2 XH?
Yes the pro grass is a beast but thats it.. Its awesome for punching/pitchin close quarters heavy cover but it does not cast lighter t rigs that well
-
Anyone have a Cara T7 7'2 XH?
Yes i the Cara 7'2XH and the 7HF.. The 7HF Cara is the way to go for t-rigs out of the two.. You will notice a HUGE difference between the 7HF lowrider that you have and the 7HF cara. The lowriders are soft for there ratings because they have more of a moderate action blank. I use the pro grass as my punching rod it is VERY STOUT way overkill for t rigs. I promise you will love the Cara 7HF. P.S. If you have any questions about any Falcon rod I am very knowledgeable about there rods

New rod/reel combo for Rage Craws
Falcon Cara T7 Micro Guide Casting Rod 7'3" Heavy or Falcon Cara T7 Cast 7' Heavy or Falcon Cara T7 Micro Guide Casting Rods 6'10" Heavy I recommended three because it depends on what type of cover/structure and other variables you will be fishing.. Avids are good rods also i have one but i prefer the falcon. I like there reel seats, handles, and sensitivity better

STX 2009 vs. Curado 201E7
the stx is heavier than the curado. stx (8.9) curado (7.6). the stx is the heaviest revo in their line up. the revos do have a crappy paint job on them.. i own several shimanos and only 5 revos, 1 S, 2 SX, 1 STX, 1 PREMIER. but all my shimano cores and curados look like they just came out of the box and some are a few years old. Cant say the same about my revos the paint is chipping and wearing off. Dont get me wrong my revos may look rough but they are great reels and i will continue to buy them alongside my shimanos, execpt the SX its the only revo that i don't care for, both of mine acquired this very loud buzzing and then a clacking noise when casting after about a month of use.

Revo Recall
I hope this is true! I knew something was wrong, I've been using baitcasters my WHOLE life even with my experience it was a very finicky reel, and ive never had a bigger POS then those reels either.

Falcon Cara T7 vs. St. Croix Avid
I have alot of experience with Falcon Cara T7's not that particular model though i don't use spinning rods that often. But i can tell you that i have several cara T7's and they all have done me right. you probably wont get alot of backing on falcon rods on this site everyone is going to tell you to get an avid. A couple of years ago i sold 3 of my glx to get more falcons because i truely believe that they have the same sensitivety and i think the falcon is lighter, I would take a falcon over a loomis anyday, really the only high dollar rods i buy these days are power tackle rods those are great rods also love the actions. Get the falcon trust me you will like it.
