I didn't say they were bad rods, they're sensitive and have great action. Compared to other sticks however theyre pretty heavy. The new Avid X's look great, the regular avids were nice (got to use a relatives for a day) just not impressed by the way the LTB feels and that's considered a "high end" rod.

I only own premiers and a Mojo so I can't speak for the high end sticks, however I was playing around with rods at cabelas and putting reels on some LTBs and was pretty disappointed with balance and overall weight. I've switched to Powell Rods and think for the money they're absolutely amazing.

Love all four of mine! Great reels. Right now I'm expierimenting with shimanos and like'm. Dont think they'll replace my Lews though. For the money they can not be beat.

I stopped buying st croixs. They're heavy rods and for the money there are better rods. That being said I still do fish with my st Croix rods, just won't be buying more.

I ended up getting a Curado I instead of the Bb1. Liked it a lot better.

swept handles are popular though. Not really a one brand thing.

that's just silly. Doubt that there's any connection.

Hows it a tribute to Lews? Similar handle design? Lol.

exactly haha.

used a magnesium once and I own a inferno.

I think they will, my 723 feels a little soft but it should be fine!

Well, just openeded them up and threw some reels on them and all I can say is wow. These rods are beyond light. The graphics of the inferno are pretty sweet looking too, the Max 3D is also sweet, doesn't look as cool as the inferno. But it should perform better. Both rods are built perfectly, no sign of bad epoxy or crooked guides. Now I need some more money so I can get an inferno spinning rod!

green bay area, dont use left handed reels however, I think I'm going to get myself a Bb-1.

hey man, were talking fishing here.

Anyone know if the Bb-1 Pro is worth the money over the Bb-1?

I've got a pretty good thumb, stayed away from Cent brakes for a while just because I didnt want to mess with something new, but a lot of newer high end reels are using cent brakes.

6' 6" Mf is a very versatile rod. I fish just about every reaction bait on it (aside from cranks) there's just something about the short rod that I love.

Football jig fishing, am I better off just getting a reel with magnetic brakes or do the cent brakes give me more casting distance.

Looking at getting a Lews Bb-1 for fishing football jigs deep. From what I'm reading online these reels have great casting distance. How hard are these brakes to set? Dont want to get something sometbe disappointed with in a month.

I know, but if he's fishing cover you don't have time. I steelhead fish with 6 pound test, I know.

does super natural have a lot of stretch?

I like what I'm hearing about invisx

heard a lot of good about McCoy. Haven't ever realmy looked into it though.

Looking for a good line to fish on a spinning reel. Dont want braid. Whats a good fluro or copolymer line for spinning. Reels. Want to be as stealthy as possible

Lews Lfs Seaguar Fluro War Eagle Spinnerbaits Lews apperal jig making material lots of trailors (zoom, Bbb) then I ordered myself a Powell Max 3D and a Powell Inferno also got a Lews spinning reel yesterday. I got pretty spoiled.
