Just tracked it and my rod will be here tomorrow. Fast shipping on top of a smoking deal. Good stuff *!

Gotcha.

Meh...I just picked up an Avid 7' Med/Heavy Moderate for cranks so I can't judge a guy for wanting to use a LTB for one.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy this 4# PowerPro?

Thanks. I emailed a Shimano part retailer and they quoted me March 10th and $46.93. I saw that. The model I have on the way is the newest...SUPXTSP25X. I am not sure if they are interchangeable. I think some Pflueger reels come with two spools. Does anyone know if the newest Supreme XTs do?

Does PowerPro still make microcline? I have not been able to find it lately.

Thanks. I wonder how long it will take to get to me. I may give them a try. Nice. Please check, and if it is a 25 let me know. Thanks!

Thanks man, but I think that is for the FJ.

I am looking for one or two extra spools for my Stradic 2500FK. I have not been able to find anyone selling them online. Does anyone know where I can buy them? I am also looking for a couple for my Pflueger Supreme XT size 25.

That is the best deal I have ever seen on GLX rods. They are cheaper than I usually find IMX's.

Here is the link for it at $307.50: https://www.*.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GLoomis%2DGLX%2D783SJWR&e=Y Here is the link for the $25 discount: https://www.*.com/join_mailing_list_a/398.htm

In that price range I usually recommend a St. Croix Avid. If you want to stretch the budget a tad I can tell you where to get G Loomis GLX's for ~$280...they are normally ~$420.

Yep, I ordered the GLX. I am honestly a little tempted to pick up another at this price...

I found some smoking deals on IMX and GLX Jig/Worm Spinning rods, so now I am picking between these two. I can get my choice of GLX for $282.50 or a IMX for $196.25. I am thinking about hopping on the GLX.

I am looking for a 6'6" medium fast action spinner and am pretty sure I want to go with a G Loomis SJR782 The price between the two is only $40. Thoughts?

I need to pick up two more rods to finish out my Arsenal for the year. I have a Calcutta 201b that I will be using primarily for Crankbaits and spinnerbaits. I am thinking I would like to put it on a St. Croix Avid6'6" Med-Heavy Fast (AVC66MHF). The other rod I was thinking about is a G Loomis IMX. The second rod I am looking for is something ~5'6" Light or Ultra-Light that I will be pairing with a Pflueger Supreme XT size 25 reel (SUPXTSP25X). This setup will be used primarily for weightless plastics and some very light cranks or single blade spinners. I have been looking at a St. Croix Premier 5'6" Light Fast (PS56LF). I am very open to other suggestions. I have always enjoyed St. Croix rods but have not owned many other "high-end" brands. I recently bought a G Loomis E6X 6'6" Med-Heavy Fast Mag Bass that will have a Curado 201i on it, but I have not played with it yet. I would kind of like to try another brand for the Light Spinning. I am bias toward cork grips.

Don't feel bad man, since I decided I needed to overhaul my gear and joined the site tuesday... Shimano Stradic 2500FK Shimano Curado 201i Shimano Calcutta 201b G Loomis E6X 6'6" Med-Heavy Fast I'll let you guys do the math since I don't feel like having a stroke at the moment.

I know how to pick expensive hobbies...lol. Of course this means I will need another rod...they are both to fine of reels to sit on my only extra caster...a Shimano Clarus. I am going to wait and see how I like the Loomis E6x before I make any moves.

I broke down and ordered the Calcutta also. I am weak and have no willpower. ...and what would two hot new reels be without some fresh ABEC 7 bearings to go in them?

Thanks for the advice guys. That is a good call on spooling it with some mono until I get more proficient with it. Hopefully I will be able to get the line wet towards the end of next week. I am still going to keep an eye out for a Calcutta. I would love to scoop up a 100 series left retrieve...I may just post a wtb thread in the flea market.

Rebuilding the arsenal after years of absence from the lake… Ordered today: Shimano Stradic FK (ST2500HGFK) Shimano Curado I (CU201I) G Loomis E6X 783C MBR Now I need to start rebuilding the tackle box. I wish someone sold large sets of good quality tackle to get the replenishment started.

Interesting. I have always heard such good things about the Curado...I don't think I had ever heard it was not far up enough in the Shimano line to be a good value. What would you have recommended over it for ~$140?

Alright...I Curado 201i it is. I am not sure how long I will be able to hold off this Calcutta lust though...

Wow, that is a good deal on the Curado. It was actually the '14 Scorpion that caught my eye. I have handled most of what I am considering, but not on my rod. That is a good idea. I still find myself drawn to the Calcutta. How do you think it compares to the Curado as far as smoothness, ease of use, and versatility. Do you think either of them would be a good mate for my rod?

I am looking at buying my first baitcaster. I like nice equipment and have always been a fan of Shimano spinning reels so that is the brand I have been looking at. When I was younger I used to lust over the beautiful Calcutta. My friends are steering me towards a Curado. This being my first move into baitcaster so do not have an established preference of round vs. low profile. I am also curious about the JDM market reels if there is a standout to be found there. The reel needs to be left-hand retrieve. I am heavily leaning towards Shimano, but that is not absolute. I would like to stay under $200, but that is not absolute either. The reel will be going on a G Loomis E6X 6'6" Med-Heavy Fast that I got a good deal on.
