It will be noticeable. What size weights will you be throwing? Also I believe you'r referring to the "power" of the rod.

Get the saavy, you wont regret it! 8-)

Citica or CL are the best bet. Get a PQ though if you want a ratio besides 6.X:1

If your game isn't on TV, and you don't have the package to see every game, go to; Channelsurfing.net or atdhe.net Both site's are free and require a plug-in, but they are completely legit, ive been using them all year to watch the Dallas games.

My experience being servsafe certified says most likely cross-contamination and or failing to cook food adequately.

Rapala knot with mono, Uni with everything else If using a duo-lock Palomar knot to the duolock.

Drag can be upgraded though, can't it?

Might be good for shallow cranks, but it will excel with t-rigs and small spinners IMO

I use what color looks best on my reel to be honest : Although I use a leader so it doesn't matter, lol. You can probably use any color, just sharpie about the first few feet black. Id say maybe one color for inshore, and one for cats etc 8-)

A slower tip will cast farther and wont be very soft, while a faster tip will be softer, but wont cast so far. For single hooks I like XF For REALLY BIG single hooks I like F And for cranks- depending on depth- I like M - MF - F

Revo Toro has a nice big spool on it, same does the Curado 300.

The only problem with that is, you can only adjust the magnetic brakes. Most people like use the centrifugals only, which you still have to open the side plate. Mags and I believe Quantum's externally adjustable centrifugals are the only true "On the fly" adjustments. (Except for of course spool tension, etc)

That was almost too cool.

Looks just like a bionic plus, but with a "new" braking system too me.

Some of the Crucial spinning rods do have that notch though.

Im looking to get into frog fishing this spring and was wondering if the BPS Kermy frogs were as good as the SPRO Bronze Eye frogs. The BPS ones are half the price, but is it worth the extra $5 for a SPRO? How are the hook quality on both?

That's what I was guessing, but asked on the off chance you were talking about the rod. I'd say go to your local Bass Pro, and go to the reel service area too see if they have any handles laying around, or ask which one are compatible. Even if they dont have the handle for the model they usually have some generic handles in store.

rod or reel?

For me (Not the steez but other mag-z reels) it was a bit of a learning curve to get used to the braking adjustments, etc. But once you get it dialed in, I promise you'll love the braking

For the ability to de-ice them by bending them, correct ?

I picked up one also this summer based on the praise it recieved here, and I couldn't love it more. Great rod 8-)

Popularity factor?

They are very nice reels, I got one. They can hang right up there with the Citica's and Revo S's in my opinion, although I dont have excessive use with the other two reels mentioned. And externally(looks) and weight-wise, it hangs with the Premier

I'm going to spend my last bit of christmas money on some new line, and have decided on the new Sufix 832 braid. My question to you is, if im going to use this line for t-rigging and light jigging about 1/4 - 3/8 ounce, in medium cover, what would you suggest? Im thinking 30# should do fine, but could bump it up to 40 if you guys think so. I'd like to keep line diameter low also. Thanks Collin

I like a rod 6'- 6'6" and a M/XF Casting. I feel more comfortable working a bait with the reel on top then underneath. Casting generally isn't a problem.
