i also have the Curado 100, its a better reel but your also paying for it. yes the PT500 is around 9oz. about 2oz more then the Curado. 2oz isnt much. its a great reel for the money aaron

well, while i was at football today my mom called em and re-ordered it. they said it will be here by Friday, if not im not sure what ill do >. we'll see what happens... aaron

i have one. it was my first good baitcaster. i use it for t-rigs, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and cranks. its a good reel for the money. good luck on whatever you buy. aaron

well, im never going to order anything from reeds sports again. i ordered it August 2. called them a week ago and they said it was being shipped out that day. well, no rod yet so called back again today and they said it was ready to be shipped out today? they said they didnt know why someone told me it would be shipped out that day, but i ended up cancelling the orded because of the terrible service i got. aaron

i have the Berkley 50# scale and is very accurate, and its a little under $30 too so you can even get some baits as well : heres the link to it... http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=57950&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults aaron

i got a pack about 2 weeks ago at the BPS in cincinnatti. they look good but havent tried em yet, next time out ill give em a try. aaron

just wondering how long it takes for shipping from reeds sports...i ordered it 2 Thursdays ago and no rod? maybe their was a problem, im going give em' a call or email to see whats up.. aaron

nice fish. school here starts next thurs, everyone on the football team wishes it was closer so we'd have less 2-a-days lol. but anyways nice fish aaron

Raul, im curious as to how you fish them with a weight? I fish them weightless, but with a weight, might give them a new look. Thanks aaron

well, i just ordered the Gloomis SJR782S IMX. i got the 782 instead of the 783 because i use 1/8oz. shakeyheads and it would be a little better fight i think, and the bass dont get huge up here. hopefully ill get it soon and get a chance to try it out. aaron

sweet, but the handle is on the wrong side : aaron

Went to BPS last night and checked out a few rods: the St. Croix Legend Tournament TBS68MXF, St. Croix Avid AS68MXF and the Gloomis SJR783S IMX. They all felt like great rods, but the Legend and Gloomis felt a little nicer then the Avid. So at a $15 difference, would it be worth it to spend it on the Gloomis? Has anyone tried both and did one seem better to you? Thanks aaron

Fishing Doug, are the rods on Reedssports new? If so ill just have to check out the rods today and find one i like and get it off there for about $20 less. Thanks for the site. aaron

well we're going to BPS tomarrow. im going to look at a few rods and see what i think. we are also going to check out the Lowrance LMS-520c to replace the one we have now. hopefully i like one of the rods. maybe next year ill be able to upgrade to and IMX, but for now its a little to much without a job. aaron

i need a spinning rod for fishing shakey heads, senkos and other light plastics. i have been using a baitcaster for these but after seeing my dad get a 15" smallie on a light spinning rod, i think i want a ML spinning rod because it looks more fun and it would probably be easier. i want to spend about $200 on the rod and reel, which i can get a Shimano Saraha for $30, so i have $170 for a rod. i want it to be very sensative and light. i am looking at the St. Croix Avid AS66MLF, Falcon Lowrider or a loomis GL2. just wondering what would be the best bang for the buck. thanks aaron

great video. looks like a great day to me with some nice ones. aaron

SHIMANO!!!! ;D aaron

good question. ive never really paid attention to this before, but i will try keep track a little this weekend. aaron

i got the jigheads from wally-world. i believe they were made by arkie, in the 1/4oz style. the worms i like best are the FLW 6in finese worms and ZOOM trick worms. aaron

this year on the drops ive been getting my biggest and most fish on spinnerbaits and crankbaits. i try right at the edge first, then move into deeper water as i go along. hope this helps. aaron

in wind i throw spinnerbaits, cranks, lipless cranks, and jerkbaits. the only way i got them to hit today was fishing a Lucky Craft Pointer 100SP in Nishiki er whatever on the flats worked fast. aaron

slarose, dont feel dumb, i dont know what they are either. aaron

i bought a pack last year but have only used them a couple times with 1 blow up but no hook-up. i got the green ones. aaron

B - E - A - utiful! that is an awesome rod, hope you catch some hawgs on it! aaron

wow, that is great. i think i am going to start using split grips. i used one the last few trips last year and liked it alot. aaron
