Best Braid. Sunline?
tried out the stren sonic braid today. mistake. worst backlash ive ever had and pretty much had to resort to trimming line away. in the process i think every drop of green eye put on the braid got on my hands. so unsure if i wanna try more of this kind. seems everyone says sunline is the best. ive read some reviews that say its not as abrasion resistant as sufix or powerpro tho. i do have about 130 yds of powerpro left on a spool should i just use it or is there something way better out there?

Cabelas Tournament Zx
cpl weeks ago cabelas had these on sale for 69 from 99. after reading outdoor lifes review i decided to order one. i got the 7'3 frog rod. ive had it a few days but only now put a reel on it and casted it in our pond some. put a buzzbait on it since theres not much cover at this pond. this is a heck of a nice rod. verrrry light for a 99 dollar heavy 7'3 rod. the winn grips are super comfortable. balances perfect. launched my buzzbait halfway across the pond. ive never owned a 7'3 inch rod and im used to 6'6 rods but had no problem making accurate casts to short or mid distances. just throwing this out there if anyones lookin for a new rod. i dont think youll be dissapointed

Lamiglas Excel 2 Rods
i know these are fairly new but has anyone got one? they look pretty sweet with the deep blue color. thinkin of pickin up one but was curious - tackle tour has the 704 listed as a medium heavy. it has a lure rating of 1/4-3/4 oz and line rating of 10-20lb. however *** has the 705 listed as the medium heavy. its ratings are 1/4-1oz and 12-25lb. kind of unsure which one to consider getting. will be used mostly for texas rigs and senkos. occasionally ill throw into moderate cover
