I purchased a shimano sahara fd when they went to a graphite (plastic) frame on the new one.more money for a plastic frame on the fe,why buy this when you can buy the pq for the same price or less.Shimano is getting less quality for more money.

Howdy Sam,I'll bet you have a few weeks before the ice melts,learn all you can in the meantime.plenty of videos on this site to help.

I use braid for top water and heavy cover,FC for the rest.Works for me

Welcome to the neighborhood,I use 12#flouro for those apps.30# braid for others.

Please elaborate on tip heavy,Is this with a 6oz.reel,8oz.,10oz.?I don't understand.Who else has a 100 dollar rod with this kind of warranty?

Howdy,if you like smallmouth,check out the Quabbin res..Big smallies,worth the trip.

I have a Compre 6'6"mh crankbait casting rod. The previous edition,with cork handle,it is one of my favorites.100 bucks and a life time warranty is hard to beat.sesnsitive,good backbone,blah blah.Doesn't matter what I think,make a decision and buy it or not.

I left N.E.2 yrs.ago.Just wondering,what is the price of oil now?

I agree with the paca chunk fans.good size,great action on swim jigs.Plenty of colors.

Great way to cook one,well worth the wait.

I find 12# Fluoro to work well,casts fine and easy to work with.Haven't lost one yet.

I use 12# fluoro with 1/2oz sb. More bass than i can count.

I'll walk down to the pond and try a few new baits I will buy with the$ I saved on heating oil.Get out while you can!

After 50+ yrs. in N.E. we dropped everything and moved to Fla.,no more snow shovels.

Cork,But I do use EVA on my broom handle.where it belongs.
