I have to agree with The One That Got Away. I fumbled with mine fifteen minutes before figuring out how to properly place them. It works better than any other box I could find that would fit in my tackle bag.

I knew there was an easy way. Thanks, Dink!

I recently purchased some off brand cranks online for next to nothing. Well when I threw one yesterday I realized why they were so cheap. They bear to the right when retrieved with any speed whatsoever. I use the same simple slip knot with all my cranks so I know that's not the reason. I took a real hard look at them and it looks like the lip is just slightly tilted to right side, so I assume that is what's causing the tendency to swim that way. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what I may be able to do to even their swim out? The only thing I've come up with is maybe putting a dab of epoxy or something like it on the side of the lip that is tilted to try to even it out. There's GOT to be a better idea than mine. I'd love to 'em!

My concern is getting a combo that is too dialed in for one particular job. You're the second person to suggest this exact pair, but how versatile would/could this set up be? I am looking for something that may have to carry the weight of being my primary rig for six months or so, so I need it to be pretty broad as far as it's capabilities. Thanks!

So I know I'm asking for a ton of responses, but hey, that's what y'all are here for. This will be my first post, BTW; surely not my last. I am like a ton of guys on here: fished forever as a youth and young adult, stopped, and now am getting back into it. I currently have an Abu Garcia 5500C3 on a MH 6'6" Ambassadeur rod. (no comments, I already know) I figure to keep it for an all around, but am looking to start SLOWLY rebuilding my combos to three or four, purchasing rod and reel at same time. The thing is, I don't own a boat, so I primarily fish lake banks. I am currently lusting over the 4th gen Revo S and want to mount it on a Veritas rod . Now it's your turn: opinions on the combo in mind? What about rod length and sensitivity? I figure on getting a 6'6" M rod and use it for cranks, topwater, and spinners and revert to the 5500 for plastics. I haven't mastered jigging yet, so thats not an issue right now. Let the advice roll in!
