I haven't used the *** but I have no doubts that it's as good if not better than the other two

I have the 7'1" mh zolo b, absolutely love it. It's an extremely versatile rod. I use it for jigs, swim jigs, chatterbaits, frogs. It's plenty sensitive, I fish with at croix avids and kistler heliums and its right up there with them. My only gripe with the rod is I feel that the cork they use isn't as nice as on my other rods. I would highly recomend one.

What kind of rack do you have on there. I'm looking to get a roof rack this spring

I know, but the time I went to check it out they were sold out of the one I wanted

I'd prefer that they do match, but it's not a deal breaker

I'm probably going to pick up a few kistlers, klxs most likely maybe a helium

7' mf st croix spinning rod. It throws lighter weights fine, and you could push it past its upper rating.

I'd grab a tatula, you could get a zillion if you want to get a new one before they're a thing of the past.

The hookset one is smaller than the one in foxboro, but for some reason I like it better. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there if you're closer to the foxboro one unless you just want to go there to check it out. Also anyone hear anything about the cabelas that's supposed to be coming to ma

Where do I get one of those

Great rods and nice write up

ALX 7'1" mh deputy, I can do pretty much anything with it

Bps doesn't offer it on reels, also varies from store to store, I've had one tell me they only do it certain days of the month, some stores always honor it.

I like daiwa reels and st croix spinning rods, haven't settled on a casting rod yet

Get the 2 piece avid during Black Friday, I'm pretty sure tw puts st croix on sale, should end up being around 150. The avid is worth the extra cash IMO. I use med for senkos, if you feel like you need more power you could go mh

Frogs, also stick with the t rig. Sometimes getting down into those weeds is a good thing.

I think the jeep monkey put the bait monkey at bay for a little bit. Ok maybe not at all, I'm probably gonna spend a lot of money this winter.

I went through a pack of them and didn't hook up with any fish, tore a lot of them in half just pulling them through some weeds

Rods: St croix Kistler ALX Shimano Quantum Tica Reels: Shimano Daiwa Pflueger Casting rods I don't really have a preference, but I don't think I'll ever buy anything but st croix for my spinning rods. Casting reels, I've used a lot of different brands and never found one that I thought was bad, but I'm starting to become a daiwa guy. Spinning reels is same as above but I lean towards pfluger

Went to wachusett twice last week, lost what I assume was a laker about 5-10 feet from shore. I'm not done fishing til the water freezes over, then I may take a shot at ice fishing.

For flukes I don't think it matters that much, I usually twitch them, pause, then reel in the slack. I wouldn't overthink it.

Purple worms, white spinnerbaits, black chatterbaits, black topwater, and perch/fire tiger cranks. Not sure why, but this is what I gravitate towards.

I use a st croix triumph 6' light/fast for trout, that might fit the bill, should run you less than 100 also.

I've had both abu and at croix ml rods and I prefer st croixs. Also if you do get a croix their ml is labeled fast, but it's not its got a pretty parobolic action to it. I've been thinking of getting a croix ml xfast to replace it but I caught a lot of fish on that rod this year.

Mojo bass or veritas 7' mf, I've used both to toss weightless trick worms all the time and you'll never haver to worry about having enough backbone with either rod.
