there is no time lost switching hands.the switch is made before the bait hits the water.

And i thought i was the only one. x3 x4 I remember when that happened to me. I was like awwww... crap!!!! I was night fishing too and couldn't get my birds nest fixed. I don't feel like you need to fish a senko on baitcasting gear, but like others mention, it works. x5 i used to use baitcast until my buddy turned me on to wacky rig spinning.

i could not get used to it.the spinning reel has the handle down low and turns in a bigger circle where the baitcaster is up high and turns in a smaller circle.your hand is trained to the spinning rod which is why it feels odd.to me it's easier to switch hands when baitcasting.i never understood what the big deal is about switching hands.

i agree with kent!!!

so do i,just can't afford them.

As discussed in many threads - the BPS products seem to be controversial with both passionate naysayers AND supporters. However, the Extremes on closeout right now on-line seem to be a good value at $59. I just got in 2 more yesterday. A fun fact: I now have both a G. Loomis 7' MF casting rod (GLX MBR842C), and a BPS Extreme 7' MF - the Loomis rod weighs 125 grams, the Extreme weighs 152 - a 27 gram difference. So, the Loomis weighs about 18% less but it also cost nearly 5 times more than the Extreme... I hope it's 5 times as sensitive ! don't hold your breath!!!

i only want reviews on the berkley line.come on guys,i know there are a lot more of you out there that are using it/tried it.

bps johnny morris signature series 6-6 mh casting rod.

pflueger does not have greased spool bearings.

yes

i need reviews on it.please only reply if you have actually used the line.tell me the good and the bad.thanks dudes.

the all aluminum construction and titanium depostion finish will keep a patriarch looking good long after the others look terrible.the finish is close to indestructable.

are you sure you have them set right.i've never had problems casting pflueger reels.

bionic down ... china extreme up Korea... and i know who the OEM is ... so why don't you tell us?

a shimano calais has the spin on handle style also.i like it much better than the old fashioned nut on the end.

1/4 jigs = 6-6 mh johnny morris siganture series spinning rod.3/8 to 1 oz = 7-6 johnny morris heavy flipping stick.both fast action.

excellent braid.i prefer the fireline braid because the stiffness makes less tip wrap.the samuri is softer and smoother and is also a great line.

because the johnny morris signature serires and elites are some of the best rods made and come with fuji titanium frame sic guides or recoils.i've fished with them for years and have NEVER broken one.so i don't need a lifetime waranty even though i've heard if you return it to the store they replace it no questions asked.

There is more to it than weight reduction. The fact is, the more exposed blank you have, the better the rod will transmit vibration. That means a no front/split grip handled rod will be more sensitive than a traditional handled rod. what a bunch of hooey!!!a good portugese cork handle with the blank through has just as good feel.split grips reduce butt weight there for causing the rod to be more tip heavy.

ROFLMAO!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

6-6 mh johnny morris signature serie with a pflueger patriarch reel spooled with 40 fireline braid.

elite blanks are the same as signature series.

7-6 heavy fast action bps johnny morris signature series.

i buy matzuo hooks at kmart for $2.50 per 6 pack.they work for me.

the bigger the spool the further it will cast.i suggest a pflueger supreme xt 3500 size.if you want flouro use 8 lb seguar invizx.if you want mono i suggest 8 lb cajun red cast. if you want braid i suggest 15 0r 20 pound fireline braid.out of all of those the red cast will cast the furthest.
