Never had a problem with it, 12 and 20lb dia.

Doesn't bother me

The guides/frames, reel seats, paint, one has pearl. They fish very similar but the main difference is that the pearl is designed for a woman.

Rather save up for a better baitcaster. Look for a used black/silver/pro max, bps pro qualifier or a shimano citica

Every day is the best day on the water!

Sounds like something similar I went through. wanted to look at a stratos but ended up being sold, found a triton the next week and took it home right after i looked at it.

But you asked everyone what they would use, not what you would need.

Same here

Don't count if netted

If I was really looking for a DD bass I would search for the better lakes where they are. I can't take my 120 bowling game to other lanes and score better.

I guess i missed it..

For that particular type of fishing no its not. If you're finding them in the slop and don't want them to dig down and get you stuck you need to horse them in. Drag pressure isn't a factor so it's just locked down

Nice work, both of you

Welcome aboard

It comes down to your budget. I'd swing for the avid because I like them over the premiers.

Search around for a better price on the pro. They can be had for $150

Local news/weather

How could you put 'unnamed lake' as a submission anyway

if you can't find it, there's always eBay

What was he using?

Okuma Guide Select.

Don't use the foot pedal. Mine stays in the locker and I use the ipilot remote.

Fantastic! Nows it's off to the nines

All i'm really wondering is what's going to happen if they ever lose Janikowski

I thought that it was on a jeep..
