Like the foldgers silk too but the best id chocked ful o nuts ny dark roast. Most mornings it is the "office free" brand...double bag it so it gets that motor oil consistency

Black coffee for me 98% of the time every day Once in a while I add a little something like milk.....rum...sugar......did I mention rum

Sufix elite or seige
-
Yes....another vote for Carbonlite

I really like owner but due to cost have been using primarily VMC or gamagatsu and used bps in the past. I will take the VMC over gammy or bps any day. I have bent gammy and bps easiest out of the four brands. as far as vmc vs. owner I don't lose sleep over the performance. Set the hook they work just like the owners.

A better comparison for you would be a carbonlite to a dobyns savvy. Is it worth the extra? Some say yes because the better QC(over qaulity of the rod) and customer service alone for the dobyns, IMO performance would have to be judged out on the water side by side. Also I see you like smallies, many guys rave about the Fenwick Elitech smallmouth rods throw those in there to compare for good measure.

Grew up the same way....Welcome the millenial generation the new hippies.....or are they yuppies....Heck I don't think they know they contratdict themselves. Part of the reason we have chose to homeschool.

I have had a carbonlite for 2 yrs now, it is a spinning rod. Love it, for the price it cannot be beat. I think however though the Dobyns would be a great rod for that price range. It is not really comparing apples to apples, decide what your looking for.....A great average joe daily rod then carbonlite would be my answer or if you want tourney/enthustists rod then go with the dobyns.

I just picked up the older model of the exceler from cabelas. 49.99 for my 7 yr old/my backup reel. Also cabelas prodigy reel are on sale, they are built based off the daiwa exceler.

Cabelas always has killer reel deals.

The lews inshore is cool, 14 pounds max drag and drain holes to was down, tougher guts but not a higher price that the pro....just was talking with a guy about his lexa 300 too for inshore/swimbait reels. That is a bigger reel though. The iron pt is also offered in a 6.4 ratio. Do you like the smaller size reels? One of the three will be my next reel.

I would start with frogs and spinnerbaits then use flukes, senkos, vibe worms and maybe toss a creature to culvert pipes or and cover to be seen after that. Jitterbug at night
-
Not sold on frogs.....overrated if you ask me.
-
Might got an idea....I will pm ya
-
Give em a try watch Glenn's vid they work like a charm. I been in a slump mainly due to lack of time.... Can't complain about OT tho. Nice rod(s) for me in the future and the old lady (yup I call her that no lack of respect there so anybody that has a problem pm me we will straighten it out) is happy too. Feeling feisty tonight jig in the am
-
Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Sounds like a stout reel.
-
Nice fish LTrain glad u had a good trip here in fl. How do you like the lexa 300 it is one on my list for a new inshore reel next winter? Always thinking ahead your the first person I seen that has one.
-
Sounds like a load of horse crap the reel manufacturers concocted to make us buy more expensive metal reels :s .....that said I make sure mine have aluminum frames, don't care bout the side plates.
