my dad tied on a jig couple of weeks ago cut the line and then tossed the jig over the side of the boat like he always does.....only he cut the main line instead of the tag end lol. I was rolling while he watched his jig sink to the bottom.

Yup I was going to say use it for jerkbaits. I got 8lb an a curado 100b and it works great for jerk baits.

Don't have a lot of experience with higher end rods but for a hundred bucks my vote goes for the carbonlite. For a little more money the kistler klx looks to be fantastic. I have yet to fish it (hopefully by the end of this week) but it feels great in hand and the blank feels really crisp and alive. I also have a kistler magnesium that is good but I think the klx will be better. Fished with a gl3 before and it was good but I thought for the money it should have been a little better.

Lets the bait fall more naturally, also lighter hooks will penetrate easier. Just be sensible with your drag and u will be fine. Those are actually designed by Yamamoto for senkos.

Got a couple of tats but non of fishing

I was going to suggest this though not quite that heavy. It is way underrated on the package and generally breaks close at twice the label rating. (12lb breaks at 24lb). Also cxx is not flouro coated that's cx. Cxx is a copolymer though.

Great reel, my furthest casting that I own. Took awhile to get used to and backlashed a lot at first for some reason, never had that problem with any other reel but once I got a feel for it it will absolutely bomb lures.

Got some at the expo but have yet to use them. They went really fast there.

Got one at the classic expo, I have yet to fish it but it feels phenomenal. Very light weight and balanced. I threw a jig in the yard with it and it loads and cast excellent. I wold hold off on any remarks about sensitivity until I actually fish it but I think it will also be great

<----lab though he is kinda of smaller sized one, he is about a year old in that pic

I'm looking forward to trying this line, met them at the classic expo. The line felt really round and smooth.

Some buddy's of mine went to table rock Saturday.....caught 62!!!!! Most came on a wiggle wart. Said the biggest five went about +/-19lbs.

Very intersting

Watermelon seed, watermelon red, green pumpkin, pumpkin seed, red bug, and recently California 420 and Houdini have been getting a lot of rotation.

I'm in the same boat. I plan on getting another carbonlite to hold me over until I can catch the new kistler klx on sale. They have been getting stellar reviews so far.

Water temp is 45

Have a heat and air business with my dad.

Mine does it also, annoying as all get out. I will get in a hurry sometimes and touch the screen and it will send me to another forum that I didn't click.........

Well since I have grown up and only fish highland reservoirs 99% of the time I'm going to say they are easier to fish not saying I couldn't do it but I would be lost on a big flat lake with no contours and lots of grass.

Haha that's my exact plans to a t!!!

Interesting, the carbon black and sig do appear to be the same blank. I remember picking that rod up when I bout my carbonlite and remember it being heavier than the carbonlite. I would defiantly venture to guess that the signature will be lighter though because of the guides and grips used. Don't have a clue if its as light as the carbonlite though.

Nobody use the signature rod?

It's brand new....doubt anyone has used it yet.

Yeah I have a carbonlite and really really love it, just wondering since they are basically the same price if I should grab the sig, there's not a lot of info out there on the rods. The do have the concept guides though......
