7'1" ML k2, 2500 size reel. Will be used for 1/8-1/4 ounce dropshot, tubes, grubs shakeyheading etc. It'll cover most of what I do with a spinning rod. Line will be 12 lb braid to a 6 lb Fluoro leader.

So if I got the sustain for the same price as the ci4+ on eBay would it be worth it? It's basically between those two and the certate at this point. I'm also trying to picture in my head what would look the best with the k2... Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I'm pretty set on a ci4+ at this point, but I think a sustain would be awesome. Is this a good deal? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Sustain-2500FG-Spinning-Fishing-Reel-BRAND-NEW-at-Ottos-Tackle-World-/281750562871?hash=item4199a46837 Anyone bought from Australia before? Seems like a good price even with $40 shipping...

Dobyns champion. If the champion extremes are still around come Black Friday and the $300 price is still valid, you could get one for $240 from TW... I'd get a 744 probably.

I got a pretty good deal through a friend who knows a rep. 7'1" ml, $440 shipped, 20% off. Couldn't resist

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a new swimbait combo this year for the winter/spring season. I have a pretty good idea of what I want, I need something that can throw everything from an s-waver 168 to an 8" huddleston tops. It needs to be small enough that I can fit it in my friends car, it can't be any larger than 7'10". The leviathan solves this problem because it is two piece. So far it looks like just what I'm looking for, but is it enough rod for the huddleston which is the main bait I'll be throwing?

I'm about 4 hrs from pulling the trigger on a new k2... No one else out there with any more info on this rod?

ci4+ it is... Have a $25 cabelas gift card I think I'm just going to order it from there.

That's what I figured.

I definitely think the ci4+ would look good with the k2, the only reason I didn't mention it is because of price. I can get the fk for $150 at japan lure shop but the ci4+ is $200-$220 everywhere I look. Anyone know where to get one cheaper?

Looking for a good spinning reel $200+ for either a megabass orochi xx or possibly a new phenix k2. Normally I'm a shimano guy (all my current reels are shimano) but I've been looking around and have heard good things about the daiwa certate: http://japantackle.com/spinning-reels/daiwa/standard-models/daiwa-2013certate.html and am not opposed to giving one a shot. Trying to decide between this and the new stradic. Would appreciate reviews from people who have used either or have other reccomendations in the $200-$400 price range. thanks

Bought a Lucky Craft skeet mag a couple weeks ago. Amazing the difference in size between the finesse d20 and the mag 120 dr!

I'm interested in that 7'1" medium light spinning. Anyone had a chance to try these out yet? Appreciate any insight on the production k2s. Haven't heard any reports yet....

I made a $250 order last Tuesday, was pretty mad when I realized I could've gotten the discount if I would've waited a little longer. Totally forgot about the sale this year. ;(

Soft jerkbaits: Don't know why but they skip really well for me, even on casting gear.

First decent fish of the year! Bassresource scale puts it right at 5.5 lbs. Yesterday was a slow day, this ended up being the only fish I caught aside from a small one lost on a brush hog! Caught it at 7:30 p.m. on a dirty jigs green pumpkin finesse football jig:

Pandora, Spotify, iheartradio, there's plenty of good options. Spotify is my personal favorite because for $10 a month you can download any song and listen to it whenever you want, no ads.

My thoughts exactly.

You're probably correct that it was racially motivated. However, it was a black guy shooting two white people. I don't think there will be riots. Unless they portray the shooter as the victim here... Anyway it's tragic. My prayers go out to the victim's family's. Especially Adam's fiancee, that was sad.

Saw that on tosh.0, hilarious.
