rod handle design question?
which is a bunch of garbage.it would make it tip heavy which would overide any theoretical increase.sensitivity is affected more by what line you have than the amount of cork on your handle.i do understand some people think it looks nice.

rod handle design question?
if anything it throws the balance out towards the tip which is a bad thing.

This Pflueger reel has a great value (80.00) and GREAT features is it a gimmick?
buy 2 trion narrow spools with the money you'd spend on a shimbindo and be done with it!!! ;D

Pflueger President Reel Problem
i've had that problem on a lot of different brands including shimano.this is why the pros open and close by hand.no bail issues that way.

Which do you prefer?
light pastics in medium weeds = spinning.heavy plastics in thick weeds = bc.

Recommended braided line
not a braid sufix performance braid or power pro.i use 20 lb on a spinning rod but have used up to 50 with only slightly less casting distance.

Fishing HEAVY Cover.
if you were in a boat a 1 oz. jig on a flipping stick would be an option.

2500 or 4000 size spinning reel for 30-50 lb braid?
i don't know but my 4000 series pflueger medalist is plenty powerfull when tightened down.i use a bps extreme 6-6 mh rod with 20 pound power pro and it pulls fish out of thick weeds really well for a spinning rod.

2500 or 4000 size spinning reel for 30-50 lb braid?
absolutely!!!if you're yanking fish out of weeds it's definately worth it.you wouldn't go tuna fishing with a panfish setup.if you want to use spinning for heavy vegitation you will have tp put up with a heavier reel unless you buy a magnesium framed reel. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_98349_100001002_100000000_100001000_100-1-2 the 4000 size in this reel is 9.6 oz. same here.read the reviews!!! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_94739_100001002_100000000_100001000_100-1-2

2500 or 4000 size spinning reel for 30-50 lb braid?
i hate 2500 size spinning reels.i love a 4000 series.bigger spool casts better and drags are stronger.since you aren't using it for finesse it makes a lot of sense.kvd also uses 400 series spinning reels so i guess we aren't crazy!!!

Best knot for power pro line
palomar
-
Power Pro
tie it to the holes in the spool and then go over it with a few wraps of electrical tape.the more tape you use the less power pro you use.

is Lucky craft overpriced??
imho they are not worth the money.when is enough enough?is $100 to much.i see no end in sight.pretty soon fishing for a season will cost $80000 in lucky craft lures.me and my rapala's and bandits and other lures have outfished lucky crafts a bunch of times.

Who makes the BPS line of rods and reels
according to their catalog they make their own rods.i've heard pflueger makes the reels but i don't know.i know pflueger reels have parts that are exactly like some pinnacle reels so they are probably getting parts from other manufacturers.it's done in the auto industry all the time.ford ,g.m. and chrysler all source from the same manufacturers.gm is in cahoots with chrysler on our hybrid truck.so in the end who cares?as long as the end product is good i don't care.

Braided on spinning reel
powerpro is one of the best braids along with sufix.the diawa stuff is just to ridiculously priced.
