The old tournament pro had like 5 holes drilled on top of the section over the line guide. I don't know how to tell on other Lfs models.To me the MB and Lfs are not visably different. You would have to ask the seller. Lew's does not allow cut pricing on it's reels as far as I know.No question is a stupid question especially if you're spending your hard earned money.

I never do that with a rod. That's why they make nets.

Make sure they are this year's model.a lot of times they are not. The tournament pro was redone and I think the drags on the other Lfs reels are stronger.at that price you may be getting a older model.

No sales pitch either. Not like a pro trying to sell you something.

I've been fishing for 52 years. While I do not claim to be a pro I do know a little. Lately I've been watching Glenn's videos on YouTube. His video are awesome. They are well made and instructional with complete explanations. I've learned a lot this winter from watching them. In conclusion any nubees on here should definitely watch them and suck in the information. Even seasoned guys can benefit from them.i really liked his ned rig video.

Don't fill the spool all the way to the top.after you fill it let it sit at least 24 hours to help it take a new set to the new spool.

Bass pro shop Johnny Morris signature series.show me another rod for 149 that has Fuji alconite guides. The blank is awesome also.wait till it goes on sale.

I prefer the Lfs. Plenty small enough and really comfortable. Going to get Lfs tournament pro in May for my birthday.Never buy a reel with a graphite frame.

That sucks! I had a Falcon buccoo micro that was 7 years out of warranty. I contacted Falcon and told them it was out of warranty and asked if they could fix it. They sent me a brand new rod all I had to pay was shipping.

I hated flouro for years but have finally fallen in love with invisx. Going to try Tatsu.

7 ft medium fast Johnny Morris Patriot rod with Lew's tournament pro 8.3 . 10 lb seaguar Tatsu.

So if flouro is invisible I would say no. But lighter flouro does cast better so I would use 10 lb over 12 for jerkbaits.

Can we see pictures of your panties ? Sweden

If your not in super heavy weeds it's great. Heavy cover I use a heavy extra fast action BPS Johnny Morris signature series.

I couldn't agree more !!!!

Mh fast for me.

I eat approx 5 a year. I keep them between 12 and 17 inches. Any bigger and they don't taste as good. In the 50 years I've been fishing I've only had one that had parasites.

I used invisx last year.ive heard tatsu was awesome.

Think I might try Tatsu this year.

Bright chartreuse 5 inch senko.

IMHO Lew's by far.The price is way less and the performance is better. They make enough different models and gear ratios to fit anyone's needs.My personal favorite is the Tournament Pro LFS.

A lot of rods in the 200$ to 300$ range are now being made with cheap aluminum oxide guides. They may wear with braid.The St.Croix Avid X is one of them.

Johnny Morris Patriot series. Best bang for $200 out there. Show me another rod in this range with Fuji sic guides. You can't.They are also extremely light and well balanced and sensitive.

I never use leaders so I use Fuji micro guides exclusively. I think they cast further. They are definitely lighter. And I think they make the rod more sensitive. If you use leaders they could be a problem.

I like junebug and purple but do use other colors sometimes.
