That's not a bad set up though and that's what I was looking at the 12t I guess they re did a bunch of things for the new year o mean plus side I love 15 minutes away from my bps but the price point is a major plus just concerned about the stability of the kayak

So u got the bps 2017 bass book and saw they redid the ascend kayaks and saw the new 12ft fs12 I think has anyone used or seen it yet in person looks kinda nice says you can stand and has the cushioning on the deck but still not sure if it's worth the money or just spend more to get a ws or native

Ugh this is like honestly a woman trying to decide on a wedding dress you have it narrowed down then all the sudden boom another option aka the muse gold or maybe *** which will be be dropping soon the Lowe end 13s saw so so reviews but go higher up the price scale all great reviews

See and that's what I was curious the power ratings cause I wanna get a rod for FL I was thinking about getting a mojo 6'8 m/cf just to be able to take down and order the dobyns whwn I come home but now I'm. Debating I'd I should go ml

There's something about the champion I just really like I can't put my finger on it i mean for about an extra 30$ might as well go dobyns

Well I'm down to either avid C Sierra or champ xp I got to strap my reel on an avid I think 6'8 m/cf it felt prety good byt something about those dobyns I can't put my finger on might just buy both when u come back up from Florida ha my cabelas has the sierra might try to sneak out there thus week before I leave and scoop one of those up then order the champ xp

That's really helpful thank you and while we're on the topic what would you guys recommend the avid x or champion xp? Both similar lengths powers and actions but mostly my presentations will. Be bottom contact so which would you say is more sensitive and good backbone for hard charging smallies

Perfect what kind of knot if it's the fg knot I'm still working at even getting that knot right toughest knot I've ever tried

Im stumped right now between dobyns Sierra champion. Xp and the avid x I heard good reviews of both the xp, avid and avid x but my question is has anyone used the avid x with a leader? I'm a little worried the micro guides might be tough to run a leader in them

Thank you so much for all your help and I'll have to check they're rates but I'm all too familiar with how they handle items makes me cringe (work for a newspaper) and all too familiar with how they handle fragile packages

So I know it's been discussed before but I'm sending a few rods ahead of me down to Florida I found 20 schedule pvc thick enough walls and also light thinking about inserting foam on both ends to keep extra protection and of course bubble wrap guides etc if anyone has any other tips on packing them that'd be great and also what's the best way to ship cost and time of delivery I'm not gonna take them on the plane cause they will get an extra charge due to being over 80" which one do you guys find the best price and shortest delivery time out of the major shipping companies and also best handling of the companies I've read some horror stories on here so little anxious sending. My. Second kids

Yeah that's what I meant sorry but hows the sensitivity of the rods overall cause most of fishing is bottom contact so the need for a sensitive rod is a must

Thanks everyone for the input and I looked at the mhx blanks cause I would love to build custom rods for personal use and everyone really raves about them I did not know they were old g loomis design blanks

I was actually gonna head down that way tomorrow by any off chance do you know if the store special rods could be custom made to a certain length action etc or should I contact the actual road builder and still. Might have to. Jump on the sierra

That's funny you mention g loomis that was one of the original I was looking at the 6'3 bronzeback still might get myself a powell inferno for a solid back up because I have yet to hear bad things about either brand

Thank you so much for all your help and you know the type of waters to the tee I'm fishing ie condaguient and parts all over the river I was thinking about it probably gonna break down get a champion xp I think that's the split grip one form. The length action everything sounds perfect to. Pair with a stradic fk

Thank you guys for all. Your advice I'll deff have to make a trip down sft is a pretty nice tackle. Shop and trying to find a tackle. Shop that carries dobyns and powell is a rare occurrence around here for me

Haha can't argue there but thank you I mean a lot of people rave about the fury but I want something a tad shorter then 7ft too many rods in the 150-250 price range to narrow down

The Walmart near me. Had vmc hooks sk tungsten and a bunch of other stuff on clearance needless to say i stocked up ha might hit the one across the river too

Im still trying to find a decent sub 7ft spinning rod for light tubes t rigs light tw and other techniques for river creek smallmouth and I was looking at the dobyns Sierra 6'9 m/f or ml/f and was wondering if anyone has used them and how they liked them or I guess maybe the champion xp pretty much willing to spend around 250 for a good quality rod just having a tough time trying to. Narrow it down

That's funny you mention that cause it's the exact opposite here for me spawn and early summer most of them are in the criks and then move out to the river and come back during pre spawn not sure why though my guess for. My area deeper cooler waters in the river

Ohhhh yeah the guides on the mojo are not a worry the guides on the avid x seem like it could be a issue

That's good to know now im torn between a mojo or avid x ha thought I had it nailed down

What kind of knot. Do you use for the leader connection

That's what u was leaning to also and the guides on the avid x I saw are a little small and I use braid with a fc leader and I'm. Worried about the knit passing thru the guides
