10lb in both Sunline Xplasma and Pline TCB8

Love St Croix's legend glass rods.

I don't even like fishing, I just go to get away from my family LOL.

I think they are trash, I also hate all the USA patriotic colors on a china made rod. If your gonna tag it with USA colors then make it here. Sorry, I can't really stand the garbage squad. Also, the CEO of favorite fishing seems like a major ******

No go on ice fishing ?

Used the combo today and loved it. Ended up catching 7 rainbow trout, nothing big but was fun. Still amazed at how light this combo is.... Just gonna take a guess and say it weighs around 9 ounces.

When you high stick any rod they will break eventually.

Braid with leader.

I would like to see how this plays out, I have Helium that the foregrip fell apart and have sent multiple emails without any response. Its been since December....

I have the Addermine and it is very nice, but I think I would take the conquest handle over the addermine's Its probably the most comfortable spinning handle I have used.

Since the ice is becoming unsafe here right now I will start pond hoping and wading in the rivers for trout, once the ice is gone I'm on boat waiting for the walleye to spawn. I like all species of fish...

Ready for some snapper

I've been using 2500 size reels forever except for ice fishing (500 size) I decided to try out a 1000 size stella FJ and its amazing, super light, its like using a aldabaran but a spinning reel. I put some Sunline Xplasma 10lb on it, it took the whole 165 yard spool I should have used backing but was in a hurry. Threw the Stella on a Couquest 842 and the balance is excellent, its like pure finesse power combo. Anyone else use the 1000 size shimano reels? I've heard they don't cast as well as the 2500/3000 because of spool diameter, but I have also heard there is no difference because the smaller coils of a 1000 goes through rod guides easier causing less friction...

I have the 7'4" MH and love it, I use it almost every time I go out on the boat.

How about with a FG knot?

I use braid to leader with my glass, its like the best of both worlds No stretch for good hookups and crankbait depth. And there's nothing like that buttery smooth power curve of glass when you have a nice fish at the end of the line trying to throw your crankbaits.

Have you tested this?

I don't think its the wrong tool, its personal preference IMO. I like glass, I have a St-Croix LTG rod and love it, best crankbait rod I have used...

This on my ice fishing rods. My favorite is on the Gloomis/Conquest rod.

You are missing ice fishing rods and gear

St Croix makes excellent rods.

Gloomis/Shimano Conquest 843

I love ice fishing but can't resist getting stuff for spring...

Working on finding out prices, If they are good I will sell my boat and get a new one
