i like them for flippin/pitchin and really like them for c-rigs....you can take up a lot of slack in a hurry to stick a fish when he picks up a c-rig

i'm sure you will like them. smooth, fast, powerful. i love mine and see another in my future next spring

shimano sedona spinning reel. ~$50 have had mine for about 4 years now and it is still going strong. very smooth and has a good drag

take it back

never fished a fenwick....but i do have a crucial and it is very nice for the $$$, light and sensitive. plus can't beat the warranty.

will the big handle from the curado 200 fit on a curado 100? and does anybody know how much they cost if it does fit?

thanks sam......but too bad about that game tonight huh... :'(

there were two collegiate national championship tournaments. so it is hard to say who is the actual national champion, but who cares it is great that the sport of fishing is growing and could possibly one day be an actual NCAA sport. one was put on by Fox sports and the other by ESPN. the Fox tournament was in TX and the ESPN tourney was in AR. i have some good friends that fished these tourney from my school (texas a&m univeristy) one of the texas a&m teams won the Fox tourney at lewisville. and virginia tech won the ESPN tourney in AR (a&m finished 7 or 8 in the ESPN tourney)

i have caught a bunch of fish on the gambler swim blade w/ a slow steady retrieve. sometimes when you are reeling you can feel the blade not vibrating and give it a jerk and it starts up, i have caught fish doing this right after the jerk. so reeling and then giving it a good sharp jerk every now and then will also trigger bites. and like was said earlier almost all the fish i catch on these baits absolutely hammer it.

that's kind of what i was thinking as well, that the 2 extra bearings might be worth it

ok guys last week i was asking about the shimano scorpion, but i have decided against a japanese version for warranty reasons and all. so i have an opportunity to get some stuff at a discouted price. so here is my question get a chronarch 100B or a curado 100d. is the chronarch worth the extra $70? i have a curado 200 and a chronarch 50 mg so i want something a little different from those. thanks, jason

Raul thanks, that is what i was wondering. by the time shipping and all it would not cost much less than a curado 100 and if they are gonna cost about the same i would rather buy one from around here that way if i ever have a problem with it i could always take it back. thanks again

yeah, i read those already, but i was lookin more a little for some "real life" experience. thanks again

i know it said it is comparible to the 50 mg, i figured since it is made of aluminum i thought it would be like the curado 100....but i could be wrong. anybody know anything about he drag? is it like the other 100 sized shimanos?

yeah i did, i just never got a pic of it up. it turned out great. thanks

what u.s. shimano reel does the scorpion compare most closely to? what size are they 100? 200? and if anyone has one and has a pic i would like to see it. thanks in advance

i too like the rattlin rapala better than the original trap. the hooks are better and you can find them on sale often

i, like many of you, respool as needed. i don't get line for free, so i just do it whenever the spool gets low or if it breaks a time or so, or if i just feel like trying something new

my dad used to use 5'6" pistol gripped rods for everything. it was the most common size rod in the late 70's and 80's i however do not like them....not b/c of fuctionality, but more because i just never got used to them and prefer longer rods w/ longer handles. if you like the way it handles/feels/fishes get it

it would be good on your toad rod. i use mine on my pitchin' rod they work great for any bait you want to retrieve fast such as toads, or in my case pitchin', you can get your bait out of "dead" water and into "fishy" water faster than w/ a slower retrieve reel

i thought it was bush league. and no way do i feel like luke's apology was real. he said he thought the fish was already lipped or grabbed...when luke grabbed the line he couldn't feel the fish pulling on the line??? i already didn't really like him, and now i can't stand him. but my real problem with it is that it wasn't against the rules??????????????? you can't cast to his side of the boat.....but you can come over and take his rod from him and cut him off? sounds kind of dumb to me. i was always under the impression that you could not do anything to affect the other angler from his side of the boat. if you were driving you could turn the boat while he was landing a fish, or "nost job" him, or anything else from your own side of the boat. but never could you come to his side and bother him. but oh well i didn't create the show or the write the rules...but i definitely think they need some revision. i always considered pro bass fisherman to be gentlemen and pro fishing to be a gentlemenly sport, no cheating and stuff like that. i mean there is strategy and all involved but i consider what he did cheating

i like brush hogs, super hogs, and big bite bait co.'s yo mama's

i use a 7' H/Fast for pitching soft plastics and jigs and as a carolina rig rod. i don't do much true flipping but 75% or more of my fishing consists of pitching and i always did it with a 6'6" MH rod and now that i have my 7'er i don't see how i managed before. you get so much more on the hookset not to mention farther pitches

i have been using stren extra strength for a few years on my spinning reel (8#) and i like it alot. but it is getting harder and harder to find w/o ordering it. p-line is sold almost everywhere around me and i was wondering if their cxx extra strength line would be good on a spinning reel...or does it have too much memory?? if so what about p-line cx??? i like the extra strength stren better than regular stren or trilene XL. i fish around some grass in many areas and just feel more confident w/ 8# extra strength and don't want to go up to 10# on my spinning rig
