Sweet video and nice chunks!

17 and have it on a 13' stream rod.

I'm not picky, I like both.

Looks like you will have a nice arsenal!

Premier is nice. I have the 7' M for shallow - medium cranks. Very light and sensitive.

x2, I've used them for chinook salmon which scream drag and it holds up fine.

Glad your happy with it! Great rods!

I will be heading up to Balsam Sunday hopefully for probably the last bass fishing of this season. It will be cold especially in the morning, around 3 oC (37 oF for my neighbors to the south) and have never fished this cold before. I found a lot of good fall baits in this forum, but not sure if they are good for up here in almost negative temp! Where and what should I be fishing? Thanks

Bout time you got on here bro!

They're taking it tonight!!

Great report!

Ranger 212LS REATA seats 5 and has a 8' rod locker. It will be hard to find a fishing boat that holds 6.

If I were you I would not buy 6 combos and save your money and buy 4. You can uses some combos for different techniques. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/130634-rod-selection-the-basics/ It basically states that you can do most techniques with 3 main combos. If you save $200 and buy 4 combos, you can get better gear by spending $150 per combo instead of $100.

Welcome to BR! What is a budget for you. A price would help a lot for the brand because everyone's budget is different.

Got it! Thanks all.

Find someone who is also interested in making a team. It's always easier to start something with a partner.

What is the difference between being sponsored and being on the pro staff? Or are they the same? Thanks

Be a sales rep for a fishing company and you can run the booth at ICAST which would be awesome! My dad is friends with a guy who is a sales rep for Lunker Hunt and you should see all the gear in his garage.

Trying new spots, new techniques, and get into some tourneys.

Thought you actually hooked her reading the title! Congrats though!

Nice! Always good getting someone back into fishing!

MH F or XF for spinner baits. M F for jerk baits. Your shallow diving rod can be used for medium diving or you can go to a MH cranking rod up to a H depending on depth. I like the St. Croix Premier for cranking. When shopping just look for technique specific rods and go from there. Also search the forums for the technique and chances are someone has already asked the same question.

Good tip is to have fast erratic moving baits. Pike love em. Large bright Rapalas and shiny spoons may entice a bight!

Great buy! You will be impressed!

There was a 20lber caught in my lake I saw in the local paper. Average is only 3lbs though but I don't target them but there has to be some monsters!
