I did not mean to refer to a spinning rod. Casting only. I was flirting with the 893 but am converned that ti wont fit in my Plano travel tube, says its for 7 foot rods.

I am researching a good senko rod. As noted in an earlier post I fish anywhere from Lake Fork (17+lb test) to Lake Norman (12lb or less). Looking more versital of the rods for tossing weightless plastics. Or do you recommend a different rod? Thank you for your help.

My brother-in-law resides in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is an avid cat fisherman. I on the other hand am a bass man. All I know about cat fishing is stink bait. I'd like to get him a nice Christmas gift related to cat fishing. Can anyone help? Are there any good tackle stores in Lynchburg that I could contact? Your advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Was fortunate enought to land a big one at Fork last week. Would like to get a great top of the line replica/mount - any recomendations?

Some many fishing guides - how to pick one? Any recomendation on a light tackle/inshore guide in the area?

If I were you I would look on ebay for last year's model of the energy or tour edition. You will be very happy.

Sorry for another question - would the Abu Garcia Revo Inshore Reel be good to use for fresh water and then salt?

Thank you! What is the major differnece between the stx and Skeet?

I have a very deep discount on Garica reels right now so price is not a huge factor. I am thinking the reel will be for either cranks or flipping. I love my quantum tour edition - but because of my current discount I want to try a higer end Garcia reel. Do you know what Garcia reels are similar to Quantum tour edition PTs.

What are the major difference in the various abu garcia reels? I am thinking of picking one up. Skeet, Toro, Revo etc... - I'm lost! I currently have a few quantum tour editions and love them but can get Abus for cheap right now... please help!

Berkley has the following hardbaits: Floating Flicker Shad Firestick Minnows RattlÆr Are they any good?

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver all the way.

I have a few of the Quantum tour editions (te1161pt) and love them. It is smooth, can toss light and heavy baits. Check ebay for a great deal.

I am thinking about getting a fenwick elete tech rod (I get 40% off) - are these rods good? Thanks!

Why don't more states have share-a-lunker programs likes Texas. NC and SC, Fla, GA - with high numbers of bass fisherman in these states it seems that this may be a useful tool in developing trophy bass in these waters. So why not?

Thanks for the info. Hyde County is beautiful no doubt.

Duck hunting near Mattamuskeet is great, is the lake a strong fishery too?

Go Skeet! No Cal dominats!

AM thinking of picking so up - I like his other products. By looking at them they look a bit stiff.

Is the IMX much of a step down?

Quantum tour edition pt. Not sure of the 2009 model, but the older one is great.

I may acquire a Loomis as a gift. I always seem to gravitate to the MBR843C GLX 7' 10 - 17 1/4 - 3/4 Fast Med-Heavy. This seems like a very versatile all around rod. Because I don't have a ton of cash, and cant have a rod specific for everything, would this be ok as a multipurpose rod? Would would it not be good for? Thanks!

I used to ds from the shore all the time but the ratio of big to small fish was killing me so i stopped. It produces no doubt. It almost like finesse Carolina-rig in a way.

Will be primarily fishing Fork and other east TX lakes. Is this too early/late for the famous action on Fork?

I really want a loomis rod. I really don't want to pay loomis price. What are the pros/cons of purchasing a custom made loomis? Any recommendations?
