One $200+ Rod, Or Two $100 Rods?
There are many variables in the question and some good answers already posted. There are a few 100 dollar rods I choose over a "GL2" for instance. Check around tho, places like Dicks Sporting Goods always has stupid prices clearance sales. Red Cumaras, were $80.00 and Crucials were $40...other rods were way below retail also. Can't go wrong in those situations.

The New Abu Garcia "ike" Rods Are On Tackle Warehouse!
They look sweet, the backbone to tip ratio on the description is interesting. Im sure they'll add the other info in shortly. I'd be surprised if they Duckett'd it with no lure ratings.

Favorite Jig ?
I like many brands unfortunately, big box and site sponsors. I was able to buy a ton of Berkley Gripper Jigs for $.73 cents each from Dicks Sporting Goods. I dont like losing my good jigs in areas where I know I'll always end up hung up, so Ill use these there so the pain isnt too bad. I've never used them before but the investment was minimal.

Jig Fishing Questions
Thanks, it seems the fish were just as big as when I use larger jigs, just more plentiful. The fish in my avatar is a normal days catch in that lake. Ill try it again on my next go round.

Jig Fishing Questions
I stepped it down to a 1/4 oz bass patrol jig today with a twin tail grub(which I never use). I was killing them, I usually use heavier jigs 1/2-3/4 with craws to feel bottom but the bass were devouring it. I fished it on a 7ft3 med *** and 51e with 30lb braid and a 12lb fluoro leader. I am not sure if today was a fluke but I caught 6 within an hour on it. My largest fish was about 4.5 but most were 3+.

Spooling With Fluorocarbon
Maybe it was a bad spool? I sent them 3 emails about the problem and they didn't even have the courtesy to return one...I don't even know why I bought Invizx after that lousy customer service, but the line has been good, definitely more limp than red label.

Spooling With Fluorocarbon
Don't do it unless it's leader material. Red label used to break on the spool. Invizx is night and day once I used it.

I love it. I can't get it to backlash. I wish I bought more of them when they were on sale now I've used it a bit. Drag is smooth, reel is smooth and lite..

Daiwa Tatula Problems
A tatula on an *** feels almost weightless from the balance.I wish my other combos had that particular feel. Many cost more, many perform better but those 2 components matched together just feel incredible to me.
