This is what I did when I went to Falcon. I'm left crank and the guide didn't have any...only right. Also, I wanted a specific line so I spooled up and brought my reels and put em on his rods.

I'm really surprised not more votes for PBJ. I fish the bejeeses outta that color. If water is relatively clear I use a matching trailer. For darker water I use a blue rage chunk.

Well, it must be Italian.

With a compass in the stock?

Either Blk/Blue or PBJ. I could live on those colors alone.

I'm betting they would have rather not had that on vid...

Post some pics! We'd love to see them!

Glad to hear it. And it's always nice to hear about a safe day.

^^^Not bad choices at all. Looks like a good buy on the reel which would allow you to get a better rod. Can you get to a Cabelas? The last step would be to put that exact reel on a rod and see how it feel in your hands.

Cant go wrong with this reel and then find any $50 7' MH rod http://www.cabelas.com/product/Lews174-Speed-Spool174-Baitcasting-Reels/1165497.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dlews%2Breel%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=lews+reel&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products I would definitely spend far more on a good quality reel the the rod. And the 6.4 is a pretty well rounded gear.

I'm with ya brother. I got a BPS card and Cabelas card but I can take my sweet time picking stuff out cuz it's going to be a while before we see soft water again.

Yup, I think mud puppies are what they would chase to most. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/mudpuppy/

Same here brother. That's what I'm talkin about!

The day you stop being young is the day you get old.

These are our birches covered in ice. We just went through 3 days of freezing rain, power outages etc... All ok now though. It's surprising how these trees don't break and will take their natural shape one the ice melts.

he does seem like a good guy otherwise.

....I feel like Ike at 41 seconds in

Honestly, I'm only using the HJ. I catch a ton of fish on it so why change?

I need a couple of Bluegill swimjigs. I'd buy a couple from ya if you wanna get into it.

Dang! Would you stop it already? You're makin me feel inferior! And I would compliment those beauties but they're Yankees fans....

You're gonna be PUMPED when a bass jumps all over that thing...that you made!

Good point Scott, I read right over that part.

^^^Very nice sir

I'd start by checking all connections first. Wiggle plugs, connections etc... If nothing there, is the system fused?

Love mine as well. I manage a very busy tire/auto center. I have been in retail my whole 26 working years and love helping people.
