I'm with sprint. Grab it and run with it at that price. And if they feel anything like my Lew's, don't hesitate.

Team Lew's Gold Spin. I do believe all of their reels come with them. I never gave it any thought.

Our lake has a bit of weed bottom. Love getting that occasional ball of hate coming back from the depths.

This brings up a question. My spin reel came with a ring for use with braid. What does it do and should I use it?

I've had bad experiences with the DT series. However, with the abnormal weather we've been having, I've had massive luck with the Jointed Shad Raps in number 05 or 07.

He hasn't learned. And I'm proud to be a member. Less than 24 hours and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge being displayed.

Here's what I've stuck with as far as St. Croix. I can't get away from the Triump X 6'6 MF. What other companies have rods that compare to this for roughly the same price ($90)?

Amen. This is nothing but a discussion. The man did his homework, performed unbiased tests, and shared his results. Only negative response I have is he should have used 10lb. I digress...We don't need petty responses. Yes, they are your opinions, but please keep it civil. You want debates, go to Facebook.

They make the Smallmouth, looked on the website. And I'll stop by GM on the way home. I rarely use it, but when the bass aren't biting, catching crappie/walleye doesn't hurt the day.

I talked to a man in Dick's about this. He told me about his last tourney in the summer and his co in the back was using a 5 foot spin and was nailing them with senkos. Hearing that, this is a technique I'd like to try.

I picked up a Fenwick Eagle in Dick's. Felt good, but anyone have any extra input? I'm looking to upgrade as well and I can't make my mind up.

Well, anyone like to buy my CX?
