titicus 8-31-07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well fishing tonight was slow.i did manage 2 2.5s and a dink and pete got a big white perch and a nice bass.it was kitchen sink night.my trusty crank on rocks totaly failed tonight.both my fish were on t rig red shad senkos close to shore in shallow water..the dink hit a purple power worm.pete had one on a chug bug and i forgot what the perch hit.the water was down so there are mats but they produced nothing.hopefully i will do better tommorrow with my daughter

pinnacle is made by silstar.they are decent reels.silstar makes reels for numerous companies.i'm not sure if they make reels assembled or parts of reels for other companies.bps reels have plenty of parts that look like pflueger parts.i can never get a clear answer on this with any proof from any where.in the end i don't think it matters.car manufacturers share parts all the time.chrysler makes an engine with mitisubishi and hyundai.nothing in this world is brand exclusive any more.just find a reel you like and go with it.

it's good to see all is well!!! ;D

they have a 1 year warranty but i've heard if you bring it to a store they replace them out of warranty.

i love pflueger reels.i would have upgraded to a medalist with all aluminum frame.imho it is the best spinning reel for the $ bar none.

i actually changed in the beginning of the year and didn't tell anybody.my fish per outing has gone up but only by like 2 fish per outing.i have not gotten skunked with flouro.having used flouro now for.5 months i put mono back on 2 rods for topwater and cranks.i may get another rod and put braid on that for heavy grass only.flouro definately has a place.seguar invizx makes flouro tolerable for those of us who hated flouro.it is absolutely the most abrasion resistant line i have ever seen over rocks.

i have 1 that's a 5-6 medium action and i am going to get another.for accuracy they can't be beat.

i have to agree with you guys.invizx rocks.i am not using it for topwater or cranks.i went back to cajun red cast mono for those applications.the extra stretch is good for cranks and the fact that mono floats makes topwaters work better.everything else is invizx.

relax your drag.

for what you paid it's a decent reel.i'm not knocking it.i'm a pflueger fan big time.i just will not buy a reel without a metal frame.considering gears and bearings have tolerances in the .001's of an inch a 1/4 inch is a lot of flex.i have also had necks break on graphite reels fighting fish in weeds.for finesse fishing in light cover it would be fine.

mount it on the rod.grab the reel by it's body and twist.if it moves at all it's graphite.

it was never rated as a saltwater reel.

it has a graphite frame = flex.the medalist is aluminum = no flex = superior.

1 )yes,but i never found it to be a problem.any color mono is visible to fish in clear shallow water. 2) not that i know of 3)try shakespeare supreme in the limp formula (same company)

3lbs. 4 oz. is average on my lake.

roflmao!!! ;D

i've gotten out some real horrendous birdnests that way.

your a light line guy so maybe 12.i use 15 and 20.i'm going to put sufix braid back on one heavy action rod that has 20.the other will get respooled with 15.i plan on buying another baitcaster and putting 10 on it.

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

did you try invizx yet?

this is right on.it works on %99 of all backlashes.

they named it vanish because that's what the fish on the end of it does!!! ;D

i for the life of me can't understand why some flouro is colored.doesn't that ruin the whole light refraction thing?all i know is i can't see clear flouro when it enters the water.no line is completey invisible either.i would think in clear water the green tint wouldn't help.but then again what do i know? ;D

if you like vanish the invizx will make you think you died and went to heaven.

those are some real nice fish!!!
