I wouldnt use braid for UL. Go with a 6# flouro. I use Stren flouro on my UL.

Already done. Lubed and tuned. Lets roll!

Its like an addiction. If you only took it as far as melting a plastic worm in a spoon and the shooting into your arm.

To start restocking would require you to stop first, right? Then I cant answer this.

I use them as my jig trailer, swin it or drag it, my fav.

A good lube never hurt anyone

I use Spiderwire, and it starts out green. No problem, a simple black marker, and I color about 6 ft of the line before the lure. No problem.

Pretty much all my reels are in the $100-$150 range. There are many to choose from in that range and I think the quality is good to the point where they are not a garbage reel and not too over priced. As far as limiting to a $100 budget, I think the best bang for the buck is going to be a BPS Pro Qualifier. I have one and its very good all around. No problems soo far, and everyone talks nothing but good things about them.

If you have 4 E's, than I would get something different. Expand your collection, thats what I do. Each reel that you get has its own charactoristic. I have all different reels, and like rods, they all have a strong point of use, and thats what they get rigged up for. Just my opinion, to me its nice to look at and use something different everytime I pick up a rig for use.

So far soo good. Still trying to get used to the way it casts, though it was very windy today. Overall, Im pretty impressed with it. Ive seen some pretty bad reviews on Bass Pro with it, but there are many that were very pleased. I try to make my own opinion before others that may bad mouth things. Its going to get a hell of a workout on the 28th for the tournament at Clewiston on Lake Okeechobee, so It will have a full day of fishing to get a better idea.

every once in a while I whip one out, they still produce. Ive had those for about 17 years.

yes, exclusive. So far so good. Tried it last night for a quick tune. Going out of loxahatchee today, lets see if it actually catches fish, haha.

Yeah, I just picked up a Diawa TDPro yestrday. So Im just gonna try and find a decent 2 piece for the travel. Right now its sitting on a Team Diawa rod.

No G, go E. I actually like the look of the EXO. I hope it performs as good as it looks, but Im sure it does.

cheap $100 Kodak. It stays in my fishing bag, but takes great pics.

the one that covers the nut?

For those of you that live in the South Florida area, Gambler Lures is putting on a tournament January 28, 2012. The enrty is free, the only thing you are allowed to fish is a Gambler Lure. There is cash payouts, and many prizes to be won. So go to GamblerLures.com for details. Good luck ya'll.

So as I went to Bass Pro to pick up some Gambler lures for the Okeechobee tournament on the 28th, I caught a glimpse of this beautiful new reel. I had to have it for my arsenal, the Diawa TDPRO100SH. I Matched it up with a 7 ft Team Diawa T rod. Spooled it up with 65# Spiderwire, rigged with a 1/32 weight, and a 3/0 XPS Magna Superlock Bass Pro hook, and WALA! My new favorite! This thing casts effortlessly, and is silky smooth. Its gonna sit very good as my third plastics set up, next to my CuradoE7, and CiticaG6. If you havent had a chance to check it out yet, get to your local Bass Pro and take a look.

I dont know what the deal with the rod ratings are either. I usually use a MH. Its good all around, especially with my braid. I always just check the pole out with my hands, see how the flex is, and check the build quality with my own hands and eyes.

I fish a Spook straight to braid. Never had a problem with it wraping around the trebles.

More or less trying to find a good 2 piece rod that handles braid. As far as spinning being the right way? I didnt say it was wrong, but there is way more control for me to cast since I have spool control. What ever makes you happy I guess. And I will not be giving it away, I WILL get my butt whipped for that.

Im going for a week, doing a couple days worth of fishing. Im looking for another reel to add to my arsenal, but Im waiting till after March to purchase it. Hopefully there is a good sale on one by then. As far as the rod, I might as well just buy one, due to he is a spinner fisher, and I cant stand using spining rods. Also, Ive got the OK to do this, so Im not gonna turn down her actually approving a purchase for once

haha

BPS out of stock right now, but I will keep my eye on that one

Im going to be traveling to Boston this summer for my honeymoon, and Im going to be doing a little fishing while im up there. The future wife has given me the OK to purchase a rod and reel to take with me.(No you cant have her, I found her first) I was thinking of getting a 2 piece rod, and something to carry it and a reel in with some tackle. I do use 65# Spiderwire, so I need a rod that will handle braid. As far as a reel, well for both together I am trying to keep it around $200 + or -. I already own a Pro Qualifier, Curado, Citica, Enigma, Prolite, Johnny Morris Signature, and Extreme baitcasters, so Im leaning on buying something I dont have already. Was looking at the Abu Garcia Revo S, but Ive also had my eye on the new T3 Ballistic (which puts me over $200 just on the reel, but has anyone used one, and are they worth the $?) by Diawa. Whats a man to do?
