BASSclary

Navy, I did a review of Powell rods on here, you can find it using the search feature or google searching for it. The only difference between the Powell Max and the Endurance is the color, different lengths and tapers, and the guides on the Endurance are one size smaller than normal, but they are not "Micro" by any means. They pass a knot exceptionally. FWIW, Powell is my rod of choice, I own 3 and forsee very many more in my future.

No bass tattoos but I already got a couple planned for when I turn 18. Im gonna get my dogs footprints on the underside of my arms with their names, And on one on my upper biceps im gonna get a sea turtle with a mirage of the beach in it's shell. I cant think of any bass related tattoos that would look cool that I would like.

360, you'll get over paying the price for online play once you compare it to PS3's PSN. I will say I hate the fact that you have to buy MS points to buy things, but I never buy things, so it's not an issue. Plus I HATE the PS controller. I cant stand it. 360 controllers are far superior in my eyes. Plus you can't play cool games like Halo and stuff on ps3. IMO, Xbox > PS all day.

Well you see I gave him a nice pep talk, but all he was whining about was how they just kept hitting him and no one else wanted to play. The end of the game was giving me stress attacks, it had me so worked up I didnt get to sleep until 11

I've owned my fair share of rods in the price range too, and BY FAR, the Powell (havent owned a Phenix yet) is the best rod in the category, plus fits all your need, at a price that doesn't make your wallet cringe. Check out my review I did of them on here, use the search feature or just google Powell Max Review

The 702C Powell is also on sale at TW right now, plus 20% off, so I would absolutely jump on it! Its hard pressed to beat a Powell for under 200 dollars, and I havent heard great things about the GL2.

Im aware... Its half-time and I almost threw my phone across the room. But I do believe in Turkey Day Miracles...

Its not turkey day here without the homemade rolls.... om nom nom.. And then we watch the Cowboys kick some butt .

Eating pizza all day. After a year, it never gets old.

Veritas do still have breaking issues, and mojo bass is known for being a bit tip heavy. Daiwa has a new t-series of rods out that are pretty comfortable and very nice for 75 dollars, but I haven't used mine enough to make a very detailed opinion on them. I do like them better than the afore mentioned rods so far.

Have you looked at Powell Max rods? They're 140, and by far the best rods for under 200. I wrote a review of them on here and are great rods. I also had a saavy, quickly sold it as I was unimpressed after all the hype they got on here. The only thing the saavy has going for it is it balances incredibly, but I found the sensitivity to leave me with some wanting as I felt it could have been much better. Have never owned a kistler or Denali but from everything I've heard kistlers are only worth about half their price tag.

I like you, have tied some half-ash knots just to throw a bait or see how something would run. (Overhand knot a few times) However, I have not had the unlucky misfortune of actually hooking a fish, and losing it and a lure.

Hey guys, well its starting to get pretty cold up here in Nova and was wondering how the swimbait bite fairs? Bust bought a few packs of bass sized hollowbodies to try and get into them. I bought 3packs of netbait paddletails, two packs of 5" and a pack of 4" in bluegill and another fairly shad like color. Where should I be looking to throw these? Keep in mind I am shore bound, so places that are accessible are certainly a plus. Also, what type of hooks do you like? I have some 5/0 swimbait hooks but fear they may be too small

I can attest to that, my dad thought it was crazy to pay 6$ for 3 weights... until I lent him one. He told me they were much more sensitive and he had a lot better feel with his favorite t-rigs. However, tungsten is a later option for me. If your rod and line are not up to par, tungsten wont make much if any difference in sensitivity. Youd be better off to upgrade rod/reel, line, then to tungsten,

Yes, I have for casting rods, it works well, provided the reel seat fits (Fuji ECS did for me, not sure about other brands). Just make sure to bubble wrap and protect before shipping!

either pull some line out by hand or drop your rod tip so the bait will fall on slack line.

Yeah, the price is really holding me back though, even with 2 spools, 40$ is alot for my salary. Considering I almost never use braid, a whole spool of 832 has lasted me 2 years. I dont want to be down 40 if I dont like it.

They're not overly wide like the 200E's LOL

Anyone using it? How do you like, compared to say 832, or Kanzen? If i'm being completely honest, I just like the color, green and blue. Would match perfectly with some blue craw ragetails...

Footballs - 50# braid Swimming - 15# fluoro or 30# braid Finesse - 12# fluoro

No problems in the guides, it just seems weird to me. DVT, I do coat the teeth of the gears with Ardent Reel Butter, would that possibly be a cause?

Either a 10# braid (Sufix or Kanzen are my favorites), or 6# YZH

My first bait I've ever bought was Berkely Power Worms in red shad, funny how I refuse to buy anything Berkely anymore because of the poor customer service i've recieved.
