BPS opening up below cartersville GA next to lake allatoona in 2014 as well.

Would like some advice and To have a better understanding on what setting is best for this reel. I have been using it on factory settings but have been kinda disapointed on the distance I get with a cast. Factory sets it up with three breaks activated, I just set it to only use two and gonna see how it works on my next outing, but there are also three breaks for pitching that I am not familiar with, tried to just use the pitch breaks and made normal casts and practiced pitching, but I could not tell a big difference. How do some of you set your breaks up and do you ever use the pitch breaks?

I have two Veritas, one 6.6 med action and one 7' med heavy action. I dont have a lot of experience with Higher end rods but I will say that I kinda abuse them a lil more than I like, from transporting them to local ponds to transporting to bigger lakes in a aluminum boat with no cover or protection, I am impressed at the level of durability. And compared to other poles the I pick up at the random outdoor stores I am impressed with how lite they are compared to others. I cant compare how sensitve they are to others except Carrot Stix, but I am also impressed with that as well. If you are wanting to spend $100 bucks on a pole, you will not be disappointed if you purchase the Veritas.

I have a Orra SX paired with a 7' Veritas MH action rod, for the money I have no complaints. I did however have birdbesting issues with the Orra when I 1st purchased the reel, after doing research I read that it was not uncommon of this problem, but the solution was simple, clean the excess oil out of it, mine was too heavy on the oil. After that I have not had any issues.

Great advice, but this is just one of among other things she will be getting, she stated she wants a better set up.

Preferably from TW.

As the title states her birthday is coming up, looking to get her a new fishing pole set up preferably from *** since I need to order a couple of other things anyway. Budget is about $130 or below for the combo, she is starting to join me a lil more when going fishing, just wanting to get her a little more quality than her current shakespear lady pole. So, opinions on what I should get her? Spinning reels only by the way.

Why is Boise on this list? Even if they go undefeated, BCS polls wont give them a shot at national title.

LSU was lucky last year with their wins, not saying they are a bad team, but they won a couple of games by getting lucky. I dont think they will go all the way this year. Alabama has a good chance this year, other than LSU, Arkansas, their schedule should be tolerable to go undefeated. Oklahoma, has a solid team to go undefeated. FSU is my team, i hope they win it all, I predict ACC champs for FSU, but no National Champs.

6" lizard. Pumpkin seed w/ chartrues tail T-rigged works well for me. 90% of my catches are from the slow sinking action, if no bite I just slowly drag it across the bottom with a few twitches here and there.

I use spiderwire stealth braid. For the price I have no complaints.

I purchased an orra sx about 2 months ago. Overall a good reel for the money. Only complaint I have (which is common with this reel) was that it was very easy to get birdnests, especially when pitching or making short casts. I fixed this by taking the reel apart, cleaning, then relubricating. From what i have researched too much grease and oil on these will cause birdnests to happen when they should not. Now, the reel works excellent with no problems.

Does anyone wanna add a link on this thread with good info about Texas rigged plastics and Drop Shots.

You forgot to mention the Dirty Birds. Until they get into the playoffs.

I really appreciate your advice and help. The pictures u have listed of Heath lake and Antioch lake look nothing like the ones I fish, but I dont think it matters, i understand what u are saying with these two examples which makes it just as useful. Really though, thanks for helping me out. Soon as i make it out to the lakes i will let u guys know if I was successful or not.
