I must say that I absolutely love my sx. Mine is paired with a 7"6 M/H veritas and it casts incredible with no effort. Im using a 30lb braid ( sufix 832 ) .

Welcome to Bass Resource

Ya , you guys are exactly right. I appreciatte it.

So I was on an auction site this weekend ( not ebay ) and found this just sitting there. Come to find out there is alot of people who spell stuff wrong and it doesnt get noticed. Now granted it is a department store reel, but for the 5 bucks it cost me , I figured what the heck. Its a Hank Parker lp baitcaster from abu garcia. It was sold as new without the box. But my question to the forum is......... What would you do with it as far as parts goes? Maybe some bearings? Drag discs? Because im in it so cheap I dont mind putting a few bucks into it. But i have no idea about upgrading parts in a reel at all. Im assuming its a glorified black max. But some input on this reel would be greatly appreciated. And be honest about it. Like I said for 5 bucks you wont hurt my feelings at all. Thanks again

Thank you SMR913. Knoxville Tn huh? I was born and raised there. Spent alot of time on Chilhowee lake wih my father in law. Thanks for the advice man.

I like the suffix lines myself

Ok, as I have been building my arsenal of baitcast equipment. I have begun my search for a rod to mate up with my latest reel purchase. From what ive been reading, ive seen alot of people pairing this reel I have purchased ( seen below ) with rods that are almost 8 ft long. 7"11 inches to be exact. Im assuming that they are using a rod this long due to the sensitivity of the tip.? So far ive read that to firm of a rod at the tip will de crease hook set with crank baits. But then again I am very new to bass angling. So I was hoping for some advice in rod fitment for this application. Now..... Love em or hate em, I am an abu garcia kind a guy. So If it was a rod from them, I wouldnt mind. Honestly I like there price point. I havent tried the veritas rods yet but I know they offer them in some long sizes. I would sure appreciatte your help. Thanks again.... Lee My newest reel. ( Revo winch ) Not the toro model
