Thats not a bad idea . But I found out that a boat shop, 30 miles from here, is carrying St. Croix. I owned an Avid or premiere 10 years ago (paid $110). Never liked it, didn;t fit my hand. I am going there Wednesday to look at a Legend Tournament. Teaser rod. Can you give some names of people who do custom rods?

here are the 2 rods I have selected. 1. Dobyns Champ Cast Rod 7' Med 702 2. GL MossyBack Jig & Worm Cast 6'8" M Need your opinions

Like I said earlier, I dont get the opportunity to see a lot of rods. Has anybody got the Loomis Mossy back jig and worm rods. What would you compare it to??? Some say the lure weight rating for G.Loomis is to low??? I dont know I would use a M or MH. I was thinking the GL MossyBack Jig & Worm Cast 6'8" hanks

I live 2 hours from any decent tackle shop. Hard to check out rods.

I have a $250 budget and looking for a rod to throw unweighted plastics. My budget just went up $100 due to having Ky and UConn in the final 4. I'll get 1st place requardless. This rod will be placed with the Lews Tourny Pro. Just got it last week. I would to use it for light line baits. Heaviest might be a 1/8oz/6 inch worm/lizard. Lightest would be an unweighted finese worm. Up for any suggestions. Thanks

For those of you who own the Lews Tp and Curado 50, which would you own for throwing light line. It would be paired witha a Lamiglass 703 ML for 3-5 inch senko, trick worms and such.

I just got back from Lake Guerrero in Mexico. Used 80% of the time. I had it on all soft plastic rods. Although we didn't catch any big fish(my biggest was 5.2lb.) it held up GREAT with all the stick up and rocks. I pulled out a lot of fish out of junk with NO breaks. I was also hung up quite abit and pulled out some large vegatation and straightened some gammy EWG superline hooks. It casted and flipped great. It was a little stiff to start, half a day and KVD cond it loosened up a bunch. Sensativity was great! Like the other guy said it didn't bleed just faded. Used 40lb, and will use it all the time. I usually like to keep trying different types of line, but I will keep using this for braid.

Thanks.

Thanks. Do you order those handles from Shimano?

thanks

I just got back from a fishing trip and a buddy had the carbon black reel with a sweep handle. I loved it. i would like to know if there is a replacement handle for a 250 calcutta and a 100 cardiff and where to buy. Google didn't gve much info. Thanks

Thanks. Are those 2 reels good with light line/small lures? I am an EKU grad. Go Colonels!!!

I fish alot of unweighted finese worms in a lot of clear water pits. I started off trying to fish with what I had. which was the lightest rod -med-fast allstar classic rod and a 150 calcutta or cardiff. On days it wasn't windy wasn't too bad. Next year I bought a Spirex and Berkeley Lighting. I could cast further, but acuuracy was terrble and I dont have the opportunity to fish enough with it.. So this year I would like to buy a 7' Med/Lt casting rod and finese reel. I dont want to spend more than $300. I hear alot about Curado 50, but not much other. So any advice is accpeted.

I am looking for a paddle tail swimbait, 5" or bigger. I like the looks of the Kamakazee Treats Swimbaits, Basstrix Paddle Tail Swimbait, Strike King Shad-A-Licious Swimbait and Berkley Powerbait Hollow Belly Swimbait. How do you rank these, or others?

I just bought the Cabelas Prodigy in a Mod/fast taper to use for cranking. It be a couple of weeks before I use it, but I have an old BPS cranking rod. The bibg difference I see first is the weight. The graphite is lighter.
