thanks man!

Thank ya!

So Just figured i would tell you guys about myself since this is such an awesome forum with tons of great info that i know i will be on for years to come. My name is michael friedrich, I currently reside here in sunny san diego. My wife is in the navy and this is here first duty station. Im originally from Gulfport Mississippi. San Diego is great I love it. Honestly fishing here in this beautiful city can be very challenging. Seeing that the lmb's have seen every bait created. Its all about finesse out here. Which thats not that big of a deal especially when you hook a pig on a dropshot:) Im 23 years old and right now im a bouncer at a very cool spot called altitude sky lounge. Its a open air rooftop bar that overlooks the skyline, mexico, bay/ocean. I have a soon to be best fishing partner growing named trevor. He'll start going with me in a couple years. He's 10 months old. The people on this forum are far from hesitant when it comes to giving great information or recommendations! Thats what I love about this site. Tight lines guys.... tight lines. Big mike!!http://s1011.photobucket.com/user/mkfriedrich90/media/IMG_1533_zpsf61b7a17.jpg.html?filters[user]=137716307&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

War eagle thanks so much man! If you happen to find one send me a pm. Thanks again

TW won't have the powell unto 12/26. Is it worth the wait? I'm going to look at the phenix today. Does anyone know there warranty? Dobyns has a lifetime no hassle warranty for 60 bucks a pop. Thanks for everyone's input you guys are great!

I've been looking at the Dobyns phenix and honestly I would love the Powell 735 but I can't find it anywhere.

I may have to really consider a Dobyns.

Curtis I've been hearing a lot of great things about the Dobyns rods. I have actually really looked into them. Everyone says they are wonderful sticks.

So Im looking for another rod and i want it to be versatile. I want something to flip pitch, and also work a frog. Right now these are my setups. 7'2 shimano crucial 12-20 lure wt 1/4-1oz medium heavy extra fast- chronarch 200 e7 (worm and jig) 7'2 shimano crucial 12-25 lure wt 3/4 1 1/4 oz medium heavy extra fast -chronarch e7 (spinnerbait) 7'9 st croix 14-30 1-4 oz heavy fast swimbait rod but currently attempting to use it to throw frogs and its not working to well. My e6 chronarch is on the st. croix, i have a cardiff 301a that usually sits on it. Im ready to put my cardiff back on the st croix, so therefore ill have my e6 with nothing for it to rest on. I love the crucial or any shimano rod due to the fact that they probably have the best warranty in the industry. What would you guys recommended? thanks for all your feedback guys!
