  1. Do the Bass Pro Shop stores honor the same prices as seen online?
  2. Has anyone had any experience with the Offshore Angler Inshore Extreme Low-Profile Reel?
  3. I noticed Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Graphite Spinning Rods are on sale. Are they a good rod?
  4. I am sorry I did not even think about that. The least expensive the better but I would probably go as high as $150.00 to 175.00. It will get beat and banged around alot I am sure.
  5. I am looking for a 6 1/2 to 7 foot spinning rod that is rated to handle lures from 1/8 to 3/8 oz or larger and can perform well with lines from 4 to 10 pound test. I would like a reel to go with it that I can buy spare spools for 4,6,8, and 10 pound test being able to handle at least 100 yards of the 10. This will be a rod that I keep in my truck and will be ready for me to grab whenever I am driving around and I come across that water that I say"Man I wish I had my rods with me" I plan on packing a small tackle box with some basic fundamental lures also. Thanks for any help.
  6. I fish for smallies in rivers. My daughter, bless her heart, surpised me for my birthday with a 6' medium action Bass Pro Crankin Stik with a pistol grip and an Abu 4600 C3. Would this be a good combo for topwater and crankbaits? I already have a good spinning outfit I use. Thanks
  7. I just returned from the coast fishing the inlets and marshes catching reds, trout, and flounder. I caught many of them on Berkley Saltwater Gulp. I have several of them left over and know I won't be a the coast for at least another year. I was wondering if they would work in freshwater?
  8. What is your favorite soft plastic for summer time?
  9. My wife and I just got us some kayaks and she is wanting a rod and reel to carry with her. Most of the time we will fish for bass but sometimes we will fish some mashes along the coast. I have got a couple of reels but I need a good quality spinning rod that will hold 8-12 lb test for under $50.00. Thanks
  10. With the understanding that all lakes have there own unique personalities how would you go about fishing in these conditions: 87 degress bluebird skies dead calm but stained water Water temp: 71 degress I spent 6 hours today and got skunked. Another guy who went out the same time caught 2 crappie. I plan on going out several more times this wek and the conditions will pretty much be the same.
  11. Has anyone used Bass Pro Shops Grip Master? What do you think of it. The Boga is a little expensive for my taste and I am looking for an alternative.
  12. Has anyone used Blakemore Rod Floaters. If so how did they work? I fish from a kayak and I want something to keep my rods afloat in case I flip. Thanks
  13. I notice Bionic Blades are on sale at BPS for $59.00. What would be the best length and action for throwing spinnerbaits?
  14. Do the BPS stores offer the same sales as BPS online?
  15. Bass Pro Shops is having a sale on David Fritts Signature Series Baitcast Reels. Are they any good?
  16. Do you use any terminal tackle when fishing with a Pop-R or any other topwater lures?
  17. The reel is an ABU 4600 C3 for $69.00 everywhere I have priced them has been $79.00 and by the time I pay for shipping or drive to the nearest store I have spent 10 to 15 dollars more. That is why I was asking. Thanks for your replies.
  18. I noticed Amazon.com has some reels for sale. With Super Savings on shippping I could get a reel for 15 dollars less than driving to BassPro or ordering it from elsewhere. M My question is has anyone ordered fishing from them and what is the quality recieved? Thanks
  19. Has anyone fish with the new Abu Black Max? I remember my buddy having one years ago and I did not like it. How would you rate the reel?
  20. Are Pinnacle's Platinum and Solene reels any good? What can you tell me about them? Thanks
  21. How would you approach fishing clear water from the bank on a 90 degreee day with blue bird skies. This looks like the condtions I will encounter Friday. Thanks
  22. I am looking for a good baitcasting reel for under $100.00. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks
  23. I have always been a fan fo ABUs C3 series. I have 5 of them(3 5500s and 2 6500s)a couple of them are over 10 years old and I have not had a problem with any of them. I am lookig at buying a 4600C3. Are they just as good as the other models?
  24. Will a 6"6" BPS MH Extreme be a good rod for throwing spinnerbaits? I fish from the bank and limit myself to carrying 2 rods. One is a 6"6" M Extreme spinning rod and the other is a 6"6" MH Extreme conventional. I am trying to determine which rod would be best for each type of presentation?
  25. I know this is not a typical topic but I was wanting to know if you have ever gotten out on a lake or river and could just sense there would be little or no action that day. There has been several time that I have gotten out on a body of water and felt that the fish were not around. It is like when my kids are away, the house has a different feel to it.
