CHugh

Ended up going to Dick's and getting a 6'6" Rage for 74$!! Then added the $12 2yr warranty from Dick's... The $12 was then removed from because St Croix covered the Dick's warranty cost! Feel like I walked away with a steal.

So I recently purchased a new Abu Garcia Revo SX and need to decide which rod to get for it ($100-$200 price range). Looking to get something 6'6", solid rod,(leave my rigs locked inside my truck so I can hit the water whenever), with medium action. Any suggestions?

x2 on this.... I fish any water in Florida and there is bass in all of it. Best bet would be a Zoom June Bug Red UV Worm w/4/0 hook. I really doubt you'd want to spend an entire day fishing either, Disney is huge.

Been doing great with white ice flukes, and june bug red UV zoom worms(no surprise there).... Until some of this Lake O crap hit our canals. I haven't caught a bass in three days... Other than that I bought a new Abu REVO SX, pumped about that, haven't caught a fish on it yet though.

The past 10 days have been terrible down here. All of my go to spots in canals are completely lifeless, no bait, no solid vegetation, not to mention they're all at least 5'-8' higher then normal. Some of my great spots that I save for fishing this time of year, and usually have clear water are all brown, lifeless, no fish. I was tossing a white fluke and it actually turned brown from the water. We'll feeling the effects of this all the way down in south Collier County.

I actually did a uni to uni... I've been doing the uni and calling it a fisherman's knot lmao.

I have no idea how it happened but about 35-40yrds in on a spool my line was cut. Not frayed, or damaged, clean cut. I tied it back together with a fisherman's knot and cut the tag ends relatively short. Will this be alright or should I just retie the leader at the cut point?

I just got a pair of the Mag Bays, sick with the 580P green mirror lens.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Problem is I can't find anything bigger than 5/0 hooks, guess I'll order some online.

I've been fishing with the 5" fluke for quite a while and started fishing with the 7" flukes a few months ago. I've been catching bigger fish while using the 7" flukes but it seems I can only set the hook 1/3 times while using it. Really ticking me off because I had a monster on today, it jumped, spit the fluke and the hook was still set weedless in the lure. Any suggestions? I'm using 5/0 worm hooks with it.

Uggghhh lunker right there.

YEESSS I get caught off guard by the snook sometimes because they'll hit worms too. Yeah I've fished there, water is not running right now, everything is pretty shallow, some of my normal 10' + places are 3-4', normal for this time of the year I guess.

Birthday is coming up and I was at BPS today and was... sorta... in the market for a new rod... Got another St Croix Premier.

IMO it depends on the location. Where I live I strictly use JuneBug Red, White Pearl, or Watermelon Red. If there's fish I'll usually get a bite. When I fish in WV with my grandpa, I use bright greens/whites or dark purples/whites.

Zebco Dock Demon rod and spinning reel combo, $15.99 at local walmart, and some 10lb braided I had laying around... I can't believe no one has posted that yet. It's fun to use and if you break it Zebco sends you a brand new one... I know because it's happened to me. I exclusively fished with this combo for 3+months because it's compact.
