Just went to order the 7.6:1 LH...sold out..ugh!! and I was on earlier and didn't pull the trigger!!

Getting a bonus check Monday that will likely go to 2 new crucials and the new curado!

7'2 MH and 7'8 XH for flipping Although I should in certain situations I tend not to throw lighter jigs.

Gotta try one for sure!! And also excited for Chronarch's to go on sale when these drop!!

My 04 V6 does just fine pulling my buddies bass boats up to 20'.

+1 BOOMERANG

I'm pretty sure I already do...A rainbow should shoot out every time you cast!!

I just picked up my Calcutta 301D yesterday...it was a great feeling!!

I have the Denali Kovert 7'8 as well and its a nice flipping rod at that price point! Its paired with a Revo SX and 65lb Power Pro! Works well for me.

I plan on purchasing one similar soon. Congrats!

This will be the first year I really focus on cold water techniques but what I plan on having rigged up: 1.Jig 2.Swimbaits - top hooks that can be crawled on bottom 3.Dropshot 4. Suspending Jerkbait

I love my Shimano Crucial 7'11" H but that's for bigger baits like hudds, soft tools, etc. Think its rated from 5-8 oz which I mainly thrown around 4-5 oz baits but I like the heavier rods too!

Sorry RW, needs to be lefty and there's something about buying a brand new reel makes a guy feel good!!

Thanks A-Jay, I guess that confirms my choice! Although it is a good chunk of change; it should be worth it in the long run! Durability and functionality.

Thanks for all the input guys!! I don't know why it has to be such a tough decision!! I am waiting for a friend who recently purchased the Calcutta D to give me some feedback before I choose. I personally don't like the feel of throwing big baits on smaller low profile reels compared to the round reels. I'm leaning towards the Calcutta D at the moment.
