St Croix Mojo Bass MBC79HF, really stout rod and its in your price range.

Abu Garcia is doing a JDM program with major fishing tackle stores, just wondering when they will come in. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast13abugarcialowjdm.html

You put it in a bag of any kind of rice, over night Asian people will come in and eat the rice and fix your phone.

hmmm neither BPS or TW have them.

The EZ Lure Retriever has saved me tons of cash

Any word on when the LTX, Elite 8 and ALT are suppose to hit retailers?

Two of my baitcasters (Abu Garcia LTX and LTZ) have 6 and 8 lb Floro but they are Super shallow spools so they can handle throwing baits upto 1/16oz. The other ones I have range from 12lb to 20lb.

Prizm shad is my go to for dropshotting clear water.

I haven't really noticed any difference on any of my GEN 3 Abu Revos

I'm used to using an STX and Premier for flipping and pitching into semi heavy veg (Both have 20lb rating). My question is will the 10lb rating on the Shimano's be enough to get the fish out of the cover?

Get the LTB you wont be disappointed

I haven't used either rod, but looking at it I see that there are no threads on it to tighten the feet on the reel. Can someone explain how it works? and if there is somewhere I can buy just the reel seat or something similar?

My cottage is on big lake good sm fishing there.

Just wondering w/o the hook, thank you.

Dobyns Extreme Cast Rod 7' Light 701 paired with an Abu Garcia LTX and a St Croix Legend Xtreme 6'8 Medium XF paired with an Abu Garcia LTZ, both are extremely fun to use in the summer for finicky biters.

St Croix also has excellent customer service.

Something like a 5" Sick Fish, Money minnow, Swim-N-Shiner etc.

That price is a little extreme just for a jig.

Old Faithful = black and blue combo

d**n 12 hour shift? 95 degrees ALL night..

I use these for all my parts and stuff http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/ToolStorage/PartsStorage/PRDOVR~0581084P/Mastercraft+60-Drawer+Plastic+Parts+Cabinet.jsp?locale=en

I used to back everything up with 12lb mono, but have switched to 8lb because you can put more on the spool making it heavier. You don't have to match the diameters if you tie the proper knots. I don't put on more then 75 meters (About 250 feet) of my high quality line because I can't cast that far and I doubt 99% of the population can. So I think 75 meters is a safe bet, leaves you enough to spool up a few more times if need be.

My favorite jigging setup I use is a Dobyns Extreme Cast Rod 7' Light 701 paired with an Abu Garcia LTX with the micro spool on it (50m of 6lb tatsu) I used for custom made finesse jigs, really fun to fish.

Sure, send me a PM its a left handed model, loaded with 10lb invisx and has Orange seal boca's

Most expensive rod/reel set up I have is an Abu Garcia LTZ-L paired with a St Croix LXC68MXF it was about $900 before tax.. Lets just say I got that stuffed delivered to my work instead of home.
