Expride. More sensitive plus its cork!

I fish 99% of the time with spinners and love it. No plans to change.

I love throwing different color baits but have to agree with the statement that most colors are to catch fisherman. If I had to pick one for jerkbaits it would be silver.

Every time I try to have a guides replaced or repaired locally the attention to detail isn't there. Most of the time they say it looks fine or slap some epoxy on it instead or wrapping it again. Sometimes matching the thread color is tough too. Especially Megabass.

Sure are. Redfish are such a blast.

I've been yelled at for unhooking my line from a dock post all the way up to "you need a flag on your paddle boat so I can see you while you fish". Been on a lake all my life and ever time I think I've seen/heard it all there's a new story. The guys that think they own a portion of the lake are always a good laugh. It takes a lot sometimes to just bite your tongue and keep fishing. Some people are worried about their boat canopy covers but on July 4th shoot 1000 fireworks all over them. Make it make sense.

I actually thought the Medium in this line had a very soft tip for a medium but I would still go with a ML if you are wanting a bass/panfish set up. I fish bass on a UL set up often and its a blast. You could even go with a light model. Not sure if Triumph has one but I think premier does.

I'd go after the St. Croix 6'-4" Light trout rod that just came out. 2 piece and looks sweet. I hope to pick up this model soon.

Been buying a few of these recently. I have found that the 8' Daiwa Megaforce travel surf rod is awesome for the trips I take (snook and reds). I also will be trying the new Emcast line from Daiwa for shark and beach excursions. Daiwa Saltist is also a great rod for casting plugs.

Great option for walleye and largemouth in cold weather here. I had one spring where I caught everything with a red redeye shad and a great fall with a Rapala Clackin rap.

Id certainly be trying it. Lipless baits work great here in Michigan in cold water. I will fish them anywhere that doesn't have thick weeds. Love those slack line hits when the bait is falling!

I fished a MH avid spinner for a while and loved it. I used it for lipless cranks and jerkbaits. Sometime bumping up to a MH is nice since some brands carry medium spinning rods that cant handle much over 3/8-1/2 oz.

Does the bogo deal for Omnia have a code?

I bet the 7-6 ML/M is gonna be a keeper.

Everything is weird...this included

Shimano Sahara 1000 on mine. Love it.

NRX and expride rods are awesome in both price points. I really enjoy the expride rods. I fished the expride 7' light + a few outings and it was awesome. I would personally go with a new legend tourney in 6'-10" ML or the 6"-10" ML in expride and get a sweet reel but that's all personal preference. NRX rods are great too but their pricing is getting crazy.

Shimano teramar XX or Daiwa Steez AGS 7-6 are great inshore options. Also own a Avid inshore 7-6 that I haven't fished as of yet but a super light well designed rod.

Just went this route on my last several rod purchases. I'd like to support USA products as much as possible. St. Croix rods are great and so is the customer service. Not going back.

I enjoy spinning rods for this. I like the control and holding just the handle vs palming the whole reel with a caster. Enjoy the fight on a spinning set up too!

The last time I fished it I used 110 jerkbaits and I believe some smaller cranks. It could be used for finesse or heavier application too. Its a sweet stick.

spy baits, walk the dog lures, blade baits, 90% of all soft plastics

Daiwa Steez compile 7-6. I think it does everything.....seriously.

I have not tried the wake version but I have fished all the other models and they are my favorite small crank. They catch numbers and big ones. Elephants eat peanuts. The stock hooks need replacing.
