Picked one up for the wife this weekend. Picked up a carbonlite for myself

Yeah the Falcon is my other option.

Thanks for the advice.

Another question is what is the benefit of microguides over standard ones? Thanks

Hey guys, Buying a new rod this weekend at BPS. I want a MHF 7' range. Looking to spend 100-150. Was thinkin of the Carbonlite but if there is something better in that range, please let me know your thoughts / recommendations. Pairing with a new SX. Thanks Tom

Thanks all. That answers my question perfectly. Trying a swim jig this season!

Can someone explain to me the difference between a regular jig and a swim jig? I think swim jigs heads are just slightly different? Also, do you use a steady retrieve on swim jigs? I want to do more jigging this season. Thanks

Nice, thanks!

Done deal, thanks guys.

I rarely throw anything larger than 1/2 or 5/8. I have two mediums ( 6'6" and 6'8" )now and need a rod for my new SX. I am going with something 7 ft range but not sure if I want a MH or not. I want to use this as my go to rod. What do you think? MHF or MF? Thanks

Great info there! Thanks. Gonna rig two with 12lb fluoro one with 15 lb Fluoro and one with 50lb braid.

Perfect. Thanks guys.

Hey guys, I have the following gear and was wondering what size rod I should buy. Here are the setups as they are now. 6'6" Vendetta M and a Shimano KVD 6:3:1 6'8" Skeet Reese M/F ( topwater & jerks ) with a Lews speed spool 7:1:1 I just bought a new SX and need a new rod. Was thinking I should pair it with either a 7" M/F Veritas or a 7' M/F JM Carbonlite. Should I consider a M/H/F in either of the above to complete my arsenal ( for now )? Would you change any of the pairings? Any other recommendations on rod brand in the 100.00-150.00 range? Just looking for ideas and any advice is appreciated. Thanks Tom

I never really liked Braid, used only mono for years but in the last couple years switched to fluoro. I like the strength and durability of it. Ive got 3 baitcasters and one spinning rig. Trying to decide what line to put on what reels/ rods. Thinking Mono for the spinning gear but the baitcasters I am not sure if I shoud try braid on any of them or just go Fluoro on all. Ive also been seeing and reading about more people using braid backing but not sure how long the fluoro leaders would be. 6 feet or 75 yards? Not sure what to do. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Tom

Thanks

For top water and jerks, isnt it best to use a floating line like Mono or Braid?

OK Guys I have a few questions about this as well. I plan on trying it on a couple rods this year. I have a topwater / jerkbait rod that I want to put braid on. Would you use Fluoro leader or Mono? Thinking mono because of the non sink factor but also want the strength. What lb Braid and leaders would you recommend On another rod I use for cranks, lipless etc, I am thinking Fluoro for that however I was also thinking of filling slightly more than half with Braid and maybe the last 75-100 yards with Fuoro. Basically just using braid as a backing and for casting distance. Any advice on these two setups would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom

Im starting to get better. Drop shot is always ready to go.

Throw in a sample jig for 20.00 instea and its a deal. : )

Just bought this and the knot app.

Great, thanks all. Ill be in touch Mike.

Ive ot a reel with a broken gear and my others could use a cleaning / lube. Anyone do this for extra $?

Ill be there for sure!

Heading to my sons hockey tournament in June and would like to do some fishing while there. Any reccomendations? never been but it looks like water all around Montreal. Thanks
