Well, seems like a fitting name. Why he would leave one of if not the best rod companies on the planet for something that looks like a toy is a mystery to me.

With the new hg, 300, and 400 conquest models you might not need to buy any other reels! Wish I had more money..

It was better than the Doritos commercial from 2013 lol

Like mentioned, a line that has a mix of the good qualities of braid, fluoro, and nylon. Strength, abrasion resistance, invisibility, low memory, and manages/handles well.

I thought the same thing. Or even a chunky smallmouth lol.

Sorry, didn't see your post.

I'm wondering the same thing... If your holding the rod in the same hand, why does it matter what hand retrieve the reel is?

I use left-hand spinning reels and right-hand casting reels. It's just the way I learned. If I could do it over, I'd probably learn left-hand on both. Makes sense to cast without switching hands. Really not a problem though unless you're flipping/pitching. But even then I hold the rod in my left hand and flip without switching.

Like plumworm said, it's to keep the masses watching. It shows America's priorities.

Idk, but it looks like it would have a terrible hook-up ratio. Just guessing though because I haven't tried it.

Mike long does this. He uses dobyns rods rated to 1 ounce with 2+ ounce baits!

Coulda done without her lol. Seems like the halftime shows get worse every year...

Something for t-mobile, idk.

Definitely not as good as last year. Also, half time performance was pretty ridiculous. Great game though.

X2.

I use a 6.8:1 lews for jerkbaits, seems like a good in-between. Idk, probably isn't all that different from a 7:1, lews tend to run a little high on the ipt.

Premier or avid. Always better to go with the made in USA models IMHO.

^^ Good suggestion. I forgot about the tatula. The tatula is definitely a better reel, and when you can get one for $100 on amazon, pretty hard to pass up. Palming is very different tatula vs. lfs. Tatula widens out towards the front, more bulbous whereas the lfs is the opposite. Just something to think about.

I have the lfs and pro max, no experience with the orra but handled it in the store. The main reason I went with the lfs is because of how well it palms and the handle length (also looks better imo). I don't think you could go wrong with either. Both are great reels for the $$$.

Good question. Honestly I don't think I have enough patience for the stitching technique. I'd probably use a long spinning rod and large reel, maybe a 2500 or 3000 size, and 8-12 lb fluoro. In pursuit of giant bass is an excellent book. I think I've learned more about bass fishing from that book than just about anything, except maybe this site...

Sweet! Shimano really came out with a lot of great stuff this year.

X2. Plus big spinnerbaits and swimbaits.

Destruction. I've heard great things about it, especially from tackletour. Let me know what you think of yours

Nice! That first one is a hawg!
