Also, the Crucial will come with a green tag on the handle. Green means lifetime warranty over the counter. Any reason it breaks, take the receipt and the tag back to BP for a swap out. I think your really gonna enjoy this rod. If anything man, from the trouble with your Veritas in the past, this will otta make you happy.

Yes sir. BP part number 1856443 model #CRCC70MHA

I think you will like that combo. Its rated for up to 1oz so your 6XD's should be good. The 6 gear reel is a bit fast for me but some people love it. I wish they had the cranking MH in a 7'2 but it looks like either 7' or 7'6"

If you ever get a chance to watch North Star Custom Baits video, Chris explains why he uses a moderate tip for jigs, when using braid. It's the same process as using mono and a glass rod for cranks. He says he hook up ration went way up. This is just my opinion, but with the amount of money and gear you've got over the last year or so that I know of, have you thought about a dedicated cranking rod that's graphite? I started with a Veritas winch and like the idea of a deep flex cranking rod. I traded up for an Avid as I wanted that super sensitivity and deep flex. I'm tickled to death with it. I think with any rod that's a dual purpose rod (cranking and jigs), your limiting yourself on the rods power and capability. I can take my Avid and really get nasty with a big fish using treble hooks. If I used that rod with a big stiff jig hook, I may not have near the power to get a good hook set. I'm hearing your statement the other day again "your logic costs me money" lol

Thanks man. We did good over here, north OKC in Edmond. We got a bunch of hail and wind. Ok Bass Hunter, Pond boss and Long Mike, that I know of, are ok. We are supposed to get another round today as well.

Did good. Just some minor hail damage. Two misses in two days. My lucks running out

We got lucky here. About 20-25 miles away today. Yesterday we had one touch down a half mile from the house. The biggest prayers need to be for the students over at plaza tower school. 30-50 kids still missing. Over half of the confirmed killed are kids.

Good deal. They will be worth the wait!

You think so? My GL2's both 7'1" H&MH run about 6-7 ounces and the Avid about 4.5. Sensitivity is about the same, very good for both but I can notice a bit better with my Avid.

My GL2's are nice rods, but the Avid is more sensitive and lighter

That worked really well for me. I did a bath in WD40 first as mine seriously looked like they had been packed thicker than wheel bearings.

I want to thank you too. I just got done with a flushing of my bearings on my 50E and youzers! I flushed then in WD40 while spinning them, followed by your method. Blew them dry and they spun forever. Added a tiny drop of oil, blew with my air gun and put the reel back together. I also blew on the spool with my air gun to let it free spool for about 5 minutes straight. It's a completely different reel now. My other 3 Shimanos were slick, but this is a beast. I now know what my days off will consist of

Kittens and puppies pee on the carpet and Rainbows are kinda gay so a derailed thread is much better!

No derailed thread in existence can compare to the train wreck more commonly called the Dallas Cowboys. !!!

I'd think you should have gotten them by now. Give Chris a shout as soon as the shop opens around 8ish and ask him how he's doing on the order. It does take longer during the big sales, but usually not that long. If he doesn't answer leave a message. He's got a brick and mortar store and is usually pretty busy. He will get back to you asap

O snap! He does exist

Some people are alive, simply because its illegal to kill them

Braid, braid and braid On your spinning reel, I can't think of anything else that is eaiser to maintain, smoother and over all makes the day a good one

They are notorious for being over lubed from the factory, but I think your gonna be more than suprised

It's kinda like that tatted up crazy chick. You know you wanna, your scared to try, but when you do, you realized it was the coolest thing you've ever done and will have stories to tell for 10 years that you will never top!

Was that the one that made that net airplane sound? Lol Hit me up.

Yikes, I was thinking about moving up to a 5/0 this year over a 4/0. A 1/0 hook is waaaaaay to small man. Go with a 4/0

Yikes. Kinda crappy timing but dang! Good luck

Agreed. If guys today would handle the ball like that and for get the flash, we would have some spectacular games

Lol. Oops
