Yea my Misc set up is a 6' M/F spinning. Use it for a lot of top water and light weight stuff. Spinnerbait rod I have in mind is 7'3 MH which I'll match with a 7:1 retrieve reel. Pitching and flipping technique is new to me as I'm new to baitcasters as well, I just started throwing tubes this year with I think 3/8oz jigs. So a set up primarily for that would make sense as well. Also I throw the rod I throw misc stuff with also covers my soft plastic swim baits wondering if I should do a 2nd similar setup but equipped with heavier line rather than switching spools.

New to everything, recently registered with B.A.S.S and CTBass. Looking to join a local club for 2013. Please feel free to shoot me links and/orcontact information. All help in getting situated is greatly appreciated.

Ok so I've fished my whole life, I'm now 30. Just registered with B.A.S.S. And working on getting with a club local to me in my state (CT). So with that said I know some guys that are in the 'league' and for example one of them loads his boat with 30-40 poles. I understand the concept, every application could be covered in 2 seconds time. But for someone just starting to get into this what do people reccommend to have as a starter kit? I have right now 3 dedicated set ups I'm happy with (Crank set, worm set, misc set) looking into doing 1 more for spinner baits. I have 100s of lures so that's covered. Is there anything I should urgently consider? I wanna take care of everything in the off season so when April comes I'm not unfamiliar with gear and/or spending extra money. Want to be able to just fish. And regardless what anyone says I will not be fishing 80# braid lol

I could cast heavy weighted saltwater gear all day so anything fresh water is 'light tackle' in my book

Maybe some employee where ever you ordered it from was playing with it, demo, etc. I've never bought a reel with the drag locked down.

I recently bought a reel in 'good' condition from this sites flea market. I actually over paid him by $5 and told him throw in some extra bubble wrap. The reel was MINT, included everything as stated and he also threw in 3 new higher end crank baits. Not including the lures I saved $50-60 +/-. Used COULD be the way to go. Unfortunately were also in a world full of losers just waiting to F someone over.

Hit enter too soon... Was going to continue to say I've never used either but do use the brand FC for all my salt rigs.

Hey bro I just ordered the other day 6# Invizx for worm setup and 12# Abrazx for my crank setup. Once the get here and I get some time on the water with them I'll let you know!

When I was 12 there was no internet for info like your getting now and I think all my gear was shakespeare and silstar lol your on the right track listening to all of us.

Any salt guys in here try out the new Lamiglass surf rods yet? On paper they look awesome except the $400 price tag. My local dealers don't have them in yet. I have been in the market for a new 9-10' MH surf rod.

+1 on ML Cumara/CI4 Stradic combo.

OP pic. I'd fish that with white, white/blue, chartruese spinnerbaits.

Southern CT checking in, since Sandy haven't caught anything in about a dozen or so trips. Switched to salt for remainder of the year.

20% off didn't apply per store owner who is supposed to be calling me back monday morning. May have be allowed to return rod I just bought and re do the deal as an exception. Hopefully it works out!

Actually don't even think so because I did buy it with the 20% off. Idk wish I waited

Yea def gameplan in the am. G3Steve from here who I bought the 201E5 from is in same boat as me. They should honor it because I'm in the 30 day return policy

Fml word from wise never ask questions, order is now a no go have to call in the am. May have to return my existing pole and do the buy 2 d**n me!

U know what I think you're right buty maybe because I just bought the other one 2 weeks ago it may have counted.

Different deal maybe.

Deal ends tomorrow @ 5pm btw

You have to call I just pulled the trigger. 733 + 201E7 actual price was $250. Its def not buy 2 rods but I was wrong on the 20% off its one deal or other

So I debated on a set up total would be around $180 for the Dobyns rod I would get 733 and a chronarch 201E7 frickin deal of a lifetime indeed. Just don't know if I can swing the cash. I'm sooooo torn!! Lol I would really want the reel for sure if anyone would want to go half for a rod I may jump on it asap!

GLX NRX Loomis and Champion Dobyns rods are all buy 1 20% off plus get a Stradic or Chronarch for free @ the hook up tackle * for phone orders. That's an insanely good deal.

I own a Chronarch I like it so far, its my first BC reel. Do own a dozen or so Shimanos over the past 15 years. Not knocking ANY brand just saying from my personal experience they make quality stuff that simply works great.

Haha ok thanks guys!! Appreciate it
