Diggy

looks good on that juptier too

*fist pump*

http://www.academy.c...=mettle&Ntk=All this is a good 50 dollar reel, aluminum frame and centrifugal brakes...only right hand tho shipping may be 5 dollars or less

The chronarch coloring is sexy imo, downright delicious I say

I have an older LR and it is pretty tough. I think I asked about the guides holding up to braid and people said they use braid on it and no problems. I paid around the same for it and I like the rod. The newer ones(darker color) def feel lighter too. Id buy one at that price as I may buy another for the same reason as you/frogging. I have used my 7ft mh for a multitude of things, including bottom contact baits and it feels really sensitive IMO and I have more expensive rods. I actually like the feel when casting it the best of all my rods because its a full cork grip...when I do decide to use it. I also think the rod you want is telescopic

for $20. def buy

I got skunked for like 2 weeks at my moms lake fishing intermittently. Had 4 yesterday, one fell off at the shore so 3 hit land

Wait till you get hung up and lose your 6-10 dollar frog,,,,then when it happens a few times....

LMG still needs some cores. calaiseseseseseses, tranxes/calcuttas for saltwater and a few caenans for the baby mommas Shimano owes him these luxuries for his online marketing campaign , they should throw in some Cumaras also for good measure

Awesome rods, its my favorite rod of the ones that I own. I actually like the hook keeper, it keeps things in place and line doesnt get caught up on it like on my carbonlite which is on the side. I had a revo sx on it at one point and it felt well balanced. I have a 7ft m/h micro guide version.

I think it was directed at the other guy, im assuming

I haven't used it but I have heard good feedback from those that have on forums. There are plenty of cranking rod threads in the search function, endless info. I use a bps cranking stick which serves its purpose for me, I bought it when it was on sale for 50 bucks or so. here is one I remember http://www.bassresou...mano-chronarch/ some more http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/99992-veritas-winch/

They also have new rods from icast macromagics with normal guides, ice rods...some technique specific versions based on their pro staff's uses

fixedI will try that color, Im still on my 1st pack from durability

word, thats how you do it! spooling machines,we didnt have those fancy thing-a-ma-jigs back in my day

Up top, you dirty ol' buzzard

It works. I accidentally got some in my hair, it also made that soft and manageable

0...Once my friend gets his boat Ill purchase one.I just use my7ft veritas for now when I goto my little spot

celebrating your good fortune

you have 140 total to spend on both? The shock or regular LR can be bought for $40 at walmart, which has a great return policy if unsatisfied or problems. That leaves100 to spend if that's the case giving you tons of options.

Did Chippendale's compensate you well on retirement?

yes, The gentleman that wrote that up knows his stuff.

from another board, you can try this to see if it helps or not It seems that most users will backlash at the start of a cast, more so than at the end. Therefore, many users were not able to master the mag only reels. Here are a few tips. First off, they set up differently than most reels. To set the reel, you need to remember to always start with the mag dial at zero. Anytime you change baits, and need to reset the reel, you need to turn the dial back to zero. With the dial at zero, set the tension knob to a point that when you depress the thumb bar, the bait will not drop in freespool until you give the rod a slight shake. When the tension is set right, you should be able to get the bait to fall a foot or two, in freespool, by shaking the rod some. Once you have the tension set there, DO NOT set it any tighter. Setting the tension any tighter than that will cause the spool shaft to drill into the tension disks. So, when you get the tension set there, turn the mag dial up to where you think it should be. New users, go ahead and set the mag dial to 10 and then back it off with each cast until it starts to feel like it might be close to backlashing, then turn it back up a bit. That will be your setting for most conditions. Turn it back up a bit from there to cast into the wind. As you master the reel and get better at thumbing the spool, you can set the initial tension looser, just remember, the tension is not a brake, it's a setting for spool tension and you will damage the reel if you run it to tight. That goes for all reels. The reason you need the mag dial at zero before setting tension is that you set the tension by watching the fall of the bait in free spool. If the mag dial is turned on, it will slow the fall of the bait while trying to set the tension. You will then set the tension based on that slower fall rate and will backlash the heck out of it on your first cast.

you won, great deal. I paid 75 at dsg on closeout way back. I saw another with 25% off of that price later on but I didnt buy it. Im sure someone can help you, I would if the boxes werent is storage, I could take pics of the pages
