I bought 4 of them Is the 7 foot MEDIUM baitcaster good for a cranking rod? Is a 7 foot MEDIUM good for a flipping / pitching rod?

I have a coupon at a local sporting goods store that would get me a Skeet Reese Crankbait rod for $69.99....or I can get the sale price at Bass Pro on their Crankin' Stick for $69.99. So which is better for deep crankbaits, since money is the same price on each one?

I have read lots of negative about this reel...any thoughts on it by anyone who has had one?

Thanks to you for the great info on how to check on a state...I had not found that! So can you mark exact spots and save them just like on a GPS device?

Wondering how this has worked for people...I may download this as I have heard that it will save me from using a GPS system separate from my phone or fishfinder....any one have it? Particularly, does it have J. Percy Priest Lake or Old Hickory Lake in Nashville on it?

I bought a Mark-4 DSI and am afraid it is overkill for what I need. I only have a 16 foot jon boat and mainly want to find brush and fish...don't need all the bells and whistles...it sounds like actually seeing fish on the unit I have is not too easy. Should I just go to Walmart and get a cheapy for around $80? Sounds like on mine the transducer goes in the hull as opposed to under it?

Looking for a flipping rod...Academy Rod Riot has the Ethos 7'3 HEAVY for $59. Some Dick's coupons will get me a Veritas 7'6 MH for $79...is the Vertias worth $20 more than the Ethos and does the 3 inch difference make any difference? I am 6'4" so I can handle length but would prefer a 7'3" rod for $20 less if it is going to do me fine... Will be putting a 7.0.1 on it.

where was the sale? how will you use each of them? (what type fishing)

Needing advice before going to Bass Pro Friday! I have: 1- 5.4.1. Pro Qualifier Baitcaster on a 7' Medium Vendetta with 12 pound mono 2- 7.0.1 KVD Quantum Baitcaster on a 7' Medium Vendetta and need line suggestion 3- Shimano Symetre 2500FL spinning reel and I need suggestions on rod length / strength as well as what line on it to give me a good broad span covered among these 3 set ups... Not really wanting to go with braid, but considering both mono and fluoro Thanks much

I bought a Shimano Symetre 2500FL today for bass fishing. Is a Berkley Lightning Spinning Rod 6'6" Medium a good rod for this? They also had this rod at Academy in a medium / light spinning but I am afraid it would be too "whippy"...anyway, is this rod good enough for this reel (I won't spend over $80 on a rod but with the Rod Riot going on at Academy Sports I wanted to capitalize on the best thing for me at this time...I got this Lightning Rod for $25) and did NOT get the Shock Rod.

Many forums that discuss this Lightning Rod end up having people talk about the LIGHTNING and the SHOCK...two different rods...I am tyring to pick between the two and have heard that the SHOCK is for using braid...if I am using mono or fluoro, should I still get the SHOCK over the LIGHTNING ROD...they are usually the same price, and the SHOCK seems to be a little better ranked on Berkley's website

How is this for bass fishing? I know that the rod I put on it will determine the best use for it (what types of baits), but what is the best / most recommended way to use this reel, meaning what rod length and strength would you use and what type baits / fishing would you do? I have two baitcasters in 6.4.1 and 7.0.1 but want a good spinning reel.

I have the Bass Pro Pro Qualifier in 6.4.1 with 10 pound mono and a Quantum 7.01. KVD burner with 12 pound mono...both baitcasters. I have bought a Vendetta 7' Medium for the 6.4.1 and for the 7.0.1 I have another Vendetta 7' Medium AND a Veritas 7' Medium Heavy...which of these rods would you put on which reels? Also, what would you use each set up for? I know the 6.4.1 is "versatile" and the 7.0.1 is for faster things like buzzbaits... I am looking for not only what rod to put on which reel but also for the best applications for each rod/reel.
