Couldn't have said it better! Mike

At a 2 day tournament last weekend both my boater and I started throwing hard baits with minimal success. We went to a spot where he practiced at 2 days before and wanted to start there. My strength is all things plastic so after an hour I changed to a honey candy Cut R and had one within 5 minutes. Because of the way it took it I decided to change size and color and went with a black and blue 7" ribbon tail and had a limit in 2 hours with better quality fish. I was running low so changed to the same bait but in a 2 tone light accent red and stayed with it most of the day. The 2nd day I started with the same red but was running low so I started alternating between them both but it didn't matter. I was culling by 10:00 and went big girl hunting the rest of the day. Maybe it was because they were both a darker hue compared to a light watermelon I don't know. What I do know is that color on both days with the same presentation useing the same weight, hook size and line didn't matter. Mike

Good Evening On a few recent threads there were discussions comparing each of these rods with others, both off the shelf and blanks. I was wondering how they would compare to each other. ie actions, powers, sensitivity, quality of construction etc. I'll be useing it bottom contact plastics only and comparing the consensus to a comparable St. Croix or Loomis Thanks Mike

Good thought Rich! Just before I leave I was gonna ask if anyone fished Lanier and for advise about what to use. As a co angler I'm hoping to draw boaters who have experience there. Thanks Mike

Depending on what I'm throwing. If its a moving bait (crank, trap, walking frog, spinnerbait, chatterbait) I'll change colors if I'm convinced I'm on fish, and then only after I experiment with different depths, weight and retrieves. For plastics I'll change styles and rof before I change colors. For moving topwater's I rarely change colors thinking thats the reason I'm not getting bit. I'll more times than not just give it up and change to a whole different presentation.. Mike

Hello and Welcome! Mike

If you don't care about having the newest and most popular of today's market, I suggested you locate a Fenwick Techna AV on e bay.. At one time they were considered a top of the line rod, but unfortunately they were discontinued about 8-9 years ago.. But as I've said before, I'd put that rod up against anything made today by anybody. Mike

I've never posted results on here, but this old man is kinda proud of himself.. This past weekend I was fortunate enough to win the 2017 Gator Div BFL Championship! It was a long time coming but feels good to check something off my bucket list Mike

Ya know After I hit send I thought about it more.,There have been times the two I posted didn't produce. Not many but it has happened. Just this past weekend at the BFL Championship. I started with the Cut R but because we were in search mode I changed, which ended up being the absolute best move I made all year! Soooo, I rescind my previous response. ? Mike
