d**n! Nice fish. Looks like you were fishing in pitch black conditions in the first picture. ;D

Cliff, The Bassart carbon handles made for a Calcutta 300 will will fit the Revo. You can fit the cork knobs on that handle as well.

He goes by SportyGuy66. This dude makes some unbelievable striper and bass topwater lures. And he's a really good dude. Welcome pal.

Hey Joe! Good to see you here. What price range are you looking at? For your lures Nothng beats a Megabass Mephisto.

Being that most of the lakes I fish are private and relatively small, I dont use the big motor much. But I do have to tow the boat there....Both of my favorite lakes are about 2 hours away, and towing a 22 ft boat usually costs me a tank and a half of gas going both directions. Sucks, now you really gotta pay to play.

beautys for sure.

Ebay has some gems sometimes. Retailers will usually not discount that reel.

They include a 7'2" "pitch and skip trigger" rod, an 8' flippin rod, and a MH 7'6" spinning rod rated at 3/8-1 oz lure weight. The rods are nicely finished, combination cork and foam grips, red accents, split grips, and HVF graphite blanks. There are 6 rods total being initially offered...

K. Imae has an arsenal that I would love to see!

Get both, totally different reels.

Exactly, but when a 16 y/o brags on his new(used) Ford, would you tell him its no good and he should go buy a lamborghini? Thats my only point. Lets not pretend this equipment is necessary to be a great fisherman. Once again, there are folks that don't even have boats that are sporting equipment that cost more than the pros. Good post. I fish with friends that have the $50 rods and reels, and let me tell you, they kick my butt often out on the water. As I posted earlier, doesnt matter what you spend, do so within your means and have fun.

Secret ponds are the best pal.

Don't have that info Kimbro.

It's like driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari. You do so because you can. Not necesarily that it makes the drive better. It usually does make the drive better though....

200 grams, carbon handle, (like Zillion HLC) 10 bearings. ~ $640.00

No pics though. :-X Specs: hispeed and low speed versions, (6.2:1) and (5.1:1). 8 CRBB's plus roller bearing, swept handles like a Zillion, 12.5 oz and 12.7 oz, reels are made for braid. 14 lb test/155 yards, equals 30lb braid at ~300 yards. Could be a nice swimbait reel. Fully machined, round profile. No idea on price.....

The 7.1's will have Magforce-V.

Lots of us idiots on this board pal.

Can't post pictures though. :-X There will be 9 trigger rods, 2 swimbait rods and a flippin stick. The XH swimbait rod is only rated up to 2 oz though....

They will have a Zillion rod like that. TDZL631MFB Medium power Fast taper 6'3" 8-17 lb test and 1/8-5/8 oz lure weight. That's the best news I have heard all day. Looks like you just spent my money Robert. ;D It's a good thing the Calcutta DC doesn't come in a 101, or the pics you posted would have spent A LOT more of my dough. Always happy to help

Awesomme little tool that works really well.

This year is definitely off from last. Can't put my finger on it.

Doesnt matter if you can spend $50 or $500 on a reel. The bottom line is enjoying the sport. Buy within your means and have fun!

Ok then third generation.
