Also not to sway you, I have the Veritas Winch 7'6" MH. That's a very sweet cranking rod. With that parabolic action and the length, a 1/2oz red eye goes into the next zip code. As for small quality control issues, the micros and the winch series Veritas seem to be very low. None with me

Normally I can't tell a difference in weight that much, but did with the Compre. When I learned of the warranty Shimano has and the few problems I had with my Veritas, spending that extra 60 dollars was worth it

I'm game for a laugh anytime. It sounds cliche, but the way LMG glorifies them all the time, I wanted to give it a shot. It's not my best purchase ever, but it ranks way up there. Kinda want to try the Cronarch now lol

I have one that I'm thinking about selling, but the other 3 no way! My Medium Micro Veritas is the lightest rod I've ever owned. Paired with my Revo S, that little hunny is a dream. My winch is the cats ass too. On the standard rods the 7'6" MH Veritas are light and nice, but the backbone is too thin for me. I want that thick back bone (kiss my tail smart ellecks) and the Curcial is perfect. I have 2 Gen 2 STX's. they are work horses that I could never get rid of.

I didn't like the Compres at all. They felt even more like a brick then the MH Veritas did. The Sellus is a budge rod, but for the money they are nice. I'd rather have a Sellus than a Compre. This Crucial is like heaven

HA HA I have been playing around with the settings on this bugger and wow, a 1/4oz tube off a MH XF rod is going in to orbit.

I'll hit her up!

Hey guys. I have a few things that are taking up some space in my garage and I want to part with them. Not really wanting to sell any of it, so I thought I would find a young bass fisherman that is needing some things and on a kids budget. If your 18 or under, please clear this with your parents. I'd want my son to do the same. Here is what I have: Plano double tackle box. This had a good amount of storage in it. Too small for me, but only used one season. Its missing the Plano boxes, but all can be bought a Walmart. That's where I got this box. I have 2 clear Walmart Plano boxes and one smoke double Plano box. Most all the dividers are there. They all close, seal and hold up well. Just wont fit the current set up I'm running. I have a few odds and ins crank baits. These were all purchased a few years ago from a China wholesaler off ebay. They are not junk, but they are not Strike Kings. Some have to be adjusted to track straight, but they do catch fish and will add some stuff to your box. I have a few plastics that I don't use. Got a few senko type worms too. Not a bunch of stuff, but just a few bags here and there. I live in the Edmond, OKC area but travel to the Wichita area every other weekend. I'd be happy to drop this off or meet up. No charge, but I really don't want to have to drive all over god and country to deliver this. I really want this to go to a brand new fisherman in an ARK (Act of Random Kindness) type of thing. Hit me up if you can use this or know someone that can.

I met Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston when I was 12 or 13 back in Kansas City Kansas at some big boat show. Bill was stressed out with all the people, and was kinda short on his answers, but he never lost his smile, Laughed at my Dad and I when I was nervous. Even took my KU hat off and made a comment about TN. Now Jimmy Houston was a nice as all get out too, but with all the Bling he wore and the 14#'s of old man Cologne he was wearing.!!

I'll probably be turning my man card in on this one, but 34 rods, Yikes!! When my Fiance shakes her head, I just smile and say I love you. Shes bought 3 of mine. I make good money, but she makes 7 times what I do a month. I got some dishes I need to clean

Reviews at BP, are so so. Never been a fan of Quantum's but see if you can find a used one first. That way if you don't like it, you can unload it and not be upside down so bad.

Unless my Abu's all break down at the same time, monkeys fly outta my butt, the Jayhawks go on a loosing streak, and KSU wins a National Championship, I will always have more Abu's than Shimanos!!

I have that bad feeling. Thanks! Thanks. If the reel was black, I would probably have bought one sooner. A PG version of Holy ****! I was kinda disappointed I couldn't grab that rig you had up for sale. That was one reason for the buy too. The Compre was alot heavier than the Crucial so I went with it. Thanks! I cant say I will never buy anything else, but I am very impressed with it so far. I will need to hammer it down at the lake a few times to know for sure, but I don't think I will be disappointed. I very surprised now quiet this is when casting. I threw a 1 oz jig to over load it and it casted the jig to the moon, but I didn't have to mess with the settings at all. Its very similar to the breaking system to my Revo S. The Revo sits much lower, but both feel great.

I have been wanting to try them, but they only had the Mojo rig instock. I wasnt impressed like I was with the Crucial. I wont say never I don't really like the paddles on this reel so I stuck some reel grips on it. Feels perfect now. Thanks Well I was a die hard Abu guy. I have a couple of PQ's but until now, its all been Abu's

Had my mind almost 100% set on picking up a Duckett Micro Magic this afternoon. My plan was to pick up a 6'9" MH for plastics and tubes. I was going to get me another Revo S or even the new STX. I really liked the way the Ducketts felt. Well balanced, loved the trigger too. Just didn't like the reel seat. I wanted more blank under the seat for extra feel. I know this isn't a huge deal, but one of the things that brought me to the Veritas was the hook keeper. Being most everything I will fish uses a Texas rig, it seemed fitting. The Duckett had a loop. After an hour of messing with everything BP had, I got to the Shimano Crucial. Holy Hanna this was a sweet rod. I've always loved the technique specific rods. I ended up getting the 7'2 MH XF. I prefer EVA handles over cork too. But it gets worse.......I talk a lot of smack on LMG and his Shimano Sermon, but I've never owned one. I bite the bullet and snatched a Curado 200G7. Set of reel grips later and fun moneys over for the month! So far I've played around 200-300 casts. Not a single hiccup. Pretty dang smooth. It's a bit heavier than my Revo/Veritas Micro combo but still super light. The real test will come in the water.

I bought some this afternoon. They feel soft and heavy. The Yamamotos are kinda pricey for my blood

Agreed. The Pro Qualifier is hands down the best 100 dollar reel on the market. Just look at the reviews.

Thanks. How long does the fluke last nose hooked?

I will check these out as well thanks!

Hummm. Never see that before. Thanks!

Like a drop shot?

What do guys use and why? I have been using that off set hook. Seems the fluke last longer at the nose of the bait. Thanks

Those tail feathers would make good flies!

I like Moderate fast. My pitching rod is a 7'11" heavy mod fast. Stiff for ripping a fish out of the muck and fast action for quick hook sets.

How bout the tree close line off the 4 wheeler. I almost pis-s myself with that one
