Last I checked wal mart has a great return policy so use the rod you just purchased and try it out and if your happy with it then keep it. If not return it for the other one. Problem solved.

I sold off all (4) of my E series chronarchs for (4) new curado I and I haven't looked back one bit. Don't get me wrong I loved my E series but Shimano hit a home run with the curado I series for sure I've had mine since launch and they haven't skipped a beat. I also have 2 JDM Shimano Metaniums and although the casting distance is superb with those reels the curado I is not far behind it. Great reel

When I am buzzbait fishing especially in the grass I have my drag on full lockdown almost all the time I'm also using 50-60lb fx2 Sunline.

Drop shot!!!

You don't want a white edition especially if your going to be taking a lot of pictures. Another thing you want to consider is not only shooting video but the editing part is even more important.

Sunline sx1

I personally would not frog on spinning gear .... Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Megabass deep six dives 20+

BEST = SUNLINE FX2 & SX1 WORST = SUFFIX 832 POWER PRO IS GOOD TOO

Your wrong the NRX comes close but is not on top.

Don't feel bad I lost a megabass vision 110 this past winter.

The JDM DC conquest is my favorite reel of all time next to the steez and JDM metanium.

You can run it with muffs on just make sure once it's started the water is coming out the pisser.

Let the fish dictate to you what they want I usually start pretty fast and then if that doesn't work then try slower. There is no right of wrong way to work a frog.

I couldn't agree with you more I use there 7'1" med. heavy rage line for all my frogging needs and I've caught some monsters. 7'6 is going to be overkill

Good snaps don't fail! I've caught plenty of 7-8lbers using D&M piranhas with quality gamakastu snaps.

You cannot go wrong with BLACK frogs period!! My black spro popping frog which is my favorite frog since it's so versatile will out fish any other color 3.1 EVERYTIME

Deps Buzzjet River2Sea whopper plopper 130 Huddleston swimbaits Jigs catch big fish too

Dirty jigs California swim jig ... Best on the market

Post spawn sucks.

Hands down best frog combo ... iRod Air 704 heavy iRod gensis 2 754 "freds magic stick" I personally use a 8.5.1 Shimano metanium however the Tatula type r or new Shimano curado would be great choices. Your line is also critical get the best stuff out there my recommendation would be either 50-60lb Sunline fx2 best braid ever.

Dirty jigs hands down

iRod 754 "Fred's magic stick" Daiwa Tatula 7.3.1

For a drop shot I suppose?
