cold water bassin
my brother and I went out this morning to try our luck at some cold water bass we got to the lake at about 8:30 and both threw deep cranks him with a deep diving bomber and me with a jointed shad rap as were working our way down the shore line not even in the water a half hour and some shad bust the surface out towards the middle of the lake my brother throws out followed bye me i dont even get 3 cranks on the handle when he starts yelling a got a good 1 get the net so i couldnt even get my line in was hoping for a double but no such luck she went 19.5 and weighted 4.01 we went all the way down that side with out a neither bite and started coming back up the lake on the other side and he gets a dink probally 12 inches we fish all the way up that bank and casting out towards the middle and nothing when we get close to the gravel ramp he cathes a neither dink i catch a dink right after him my first fish of the day and he follows that up with a neither dink so we stop at the ramp and i switch up i went with a deep diving xrap we start back down the other shore line we get about 100 yards down and i hook this 1 out towards the middle of the lake she went 18' and weighted 2.87 we then fish just about the whole way down that side and it was gettin late so we trolled across to the other side and i picked up my jig rod first cast along shore and this brute hits she went 20.5 and weighted 4.67 we fish further up the bank maybe 100 feet and this 1 takes the jig she went 18.5' and weighted 3.44 we keep fishing up the bank i missed 2 or 3 more bites before we call it a day i wonder how i would of did if i would of picked up the jig rod first instead of cranking with my brother oh yeah air temp was around 35-39 degrees and water im sure wasnt much warmer on the way there there was ice in shallow water and our eyelets on our rods were icing up not bad for some mid november bassin we plan on going next weekend well be out there tell hard water ;D ;D

Chronarch MG or Curado E7
i have both reels the curado is a stronger reel holds more line and can use heavier lures if u want a super light reel for small to mid size lures the mg is ur reel if u want a reel to throw any and everything and not worried about weight then the curado is your reel

ebay
i buy and sell stuff all the time on ebay i always use paypal because then if theres a problem u can get ur money back most of the time but takes some hassle i have only had 2 bad experences 1 guy sold me a .99 walmart spinnerbait as a terminator which was my fault he had a pic of the lure and i didnt look at it very closely so yes theres crooks out there u just have to be careful

Carrot stix vs. Shimano Cumara
the carrot stick is more of a moving bait rod cumara is more of bottom bouncing plastics rod im sure both can be used for anything but i would say thats what they best used as both are super light i would say the cumara would be more sensitvity

Citica with crankin rod each Shimano Curado DHSV 7:1 with other 2 loomis rods and use the winch revo stx with the flipping stick thats how i would pair them
