Here are the reels also

It. Sorry

Its octagonal shaped. Never seen one like iy

I have pics. But not sure how to upload in a topic. Sorry

I have an old wooden rod with steel eyes and reel seat. And two old Kalamazoo tackle reels I know nothing about. Was looking for info on them. Thank you. Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not. If not. Please let me know.

ItsTig. I'm only about 25 minutes from there

No. Lol. We were doing a Verizon upgrade on a tower

Where do you live in east central il ItsTig? I grew up in My. Zion but live in Cerro Gordo now. My wife grew up in Springfield. The trion and supreme are nice products and affordable. They don't make the President anymore. Except in spinning and spincast.

Actually.. Funny story. The first one I ever climbed was in Elgin. In the parking lot of a strip club

I also know right where Elgin is. I used to work on cell towers and wireless internet stuff up there

The patriarch is nice. I was always a President fan and still am. I think that why I like the supreme line so much. But Pflueger makes good quality equipment. I am a customer advisor for them. Also have rights to their logo for use. I only wish they still made baitcaster rods that weren't in combos. I have 8 of the Pflueger President rods. The older blue ones with the split grip I use on an everyday basis. I have been trying to locate some more so I have backups.

Anybody else fish lake Shelbyville in south central il?

I'm from central il. Where are you from?

Thanks whitwolf

I will agree with that statement tbone. I actually prefer the Sumpreme baitcaster over the patriarch also. Even now. But like both.

Thanks. I always look to share with other fisherman. My team tournament partner and I just started making our own plastics this year also. So looking forward to a good year this year

My name is Aaron I am 32. I have been fishing since I was 3. Started out Crappie fishing with my dad and the love of fishing grew from there. I started bass fishing ponds and lakes around central il when I was about 9. Learned to first use a baitcaster at 11. I have always been a student of Bass Fishing. Constantly learning new techniques and perfecting my old ones. I have been fishing tournaments since I was 13. I now get to fish more again for the first time in a few years. Since having kids and all that. But I started back again a couple years ago. I love using Pflueger equipment. Rods and reels. Whether it's bass,crappie or walleye. Mostly just the reels for crappie. I have tried a lot of different brands but love the pflueger brand. They have lasted and they are affordable. If you haven't tried them out.. I recommend it. You won't be sorry. Whether your an avid tournament guy. Or a recreational fisherman. They are worth a shot. Thanks. I appreciate feedback if you try something new.
