Sure am just haven't decided what yet lol

Yes

Just an update.... I put the rod up for sale and sold it for $175

It's all good Glenn, I was looking at the hevi-core for my t-rig and jig applications as soon as I can find it I'm gonna spool up some

Decided to try to sell the Yellow Jacket, what do you folks think I should ask for it? Fenwick was unable to help me with info unfortunately.

Are these made anymore by any of the bigger companies or just custom builders?

I sent Fenwick an email, hopefully I will be able to get some info from them. Took it out in the yard today and it felt good to cast with, not so sure about the Millionaire reel but that is mainly because Im not sure on the brakes. I have never used an older baitcaster and there are no markings to tell me where the set point is and also the brake dial will spin without hitting a stopping point. Im sure I will figure it out, to me its just cool using something "old" that I have never used before

Hmmm.... decisions decisions lol

And my minature bass

I was able to take my little princess fishing yesterday evening and this morning. She loves to go with me and its been a little while since I was able to take her due to work being so crazy. She out fished me 3-1 last night and 4-1 today. I asked her if she was paying off the fish and she game me a sly little smile and said she has been giving them the dead minnows from the bait bucket. I was told I Love You more during our time fishing than I could count. Folks if you have kids, grandkids, or nieces and nephews and haven't taken them out fishing you don't know what you are missing out on. I promise they are memories that will stay with you both for a lifetime, I know mine with both of my grandpas have!

Forgive the poor quality but here is a quick picture of the combo

Yeah just missing the specs on the rod.... wow might have got really lucky thanks for the info

So I went along with my wife to the world's longest yard sale on Hwy 127 today. I kept my eyes open for fishing items and though I saw many only one got me to part with some money. It's a 5 and 1/2 ft Fenwick Yellow Jacket casting rod with a Daiwa Millionaire 3h Hi-speed round baitcaster. It just called to me, unfortunately the rod specifics (model #, line and lure ratings) has rubbed off over the years. Anyone know anything about these rods? I didn't figure $12 was too much to pay because I like how it looks and the reel seems to function quite well.

Sweet!

How is the feel of brass vs lead and tungsten?

Awesome thanks folks

So after watching plenty of videos I get the point of how to work a spook, my question is how do you work it from a seated position in a yak? All the vids I saw used a downward snap of the wrist to make the bait walk?

I plan on incorporating this attack plan into my kayak fishing when my new yak arrives. Looks like solid advice!

Trying to order some but it is giving me an error saying there is no shipping option to my address. I sent a message to the support center, hopefully it gets sorted out before they are all gone

No way! Prison orange make me queasy... I'm gonna do my best to make the game next year in Knoxville since I'm just a short drive away here in Dayton

Got myself a new fishing buddy. She is a blue tick coonhound. We named her Cara. Here is to many happy fishing trips. Who else has a fur fishing partner?

So I want to get into the world of topwater fishing. After reading so many great things about the Zara Spook I was wondering which model would be a good starting point. I fish mainly on lake Chickamauga on the TN river. Thanks

Met him at the Chickamauga event, super nice fella even more so than KVD. Glad to see young guys so excited about the sport

And I would prefer something around 6'6
