I just picked up a Stella 1000 for trout. I am now on the hunt for a 2500 as well. Stella's are without equal.

I had a great Christmas with the family still waiting for some of my gifts to show up - many are backordered and from what I was told fishing related

311.2 after several tries. Update: 321.1

Congratulations Catt. May the Good Lord Bless your new bassin buddy

Terrible news, but I am sure he is already planning his first concert behind the Pearly Gates May he Rest in Peace.

worst: 48 feet. best: 1774 feet.

Ruth's Chris steakhouse. Their filet mignon rocks! Joe's Stonecrab in Las Vegas. Best stone crab I've ever had. Spanish Paella at Fandango's in Pacific Grove, CA. Unbelievable paella. Shrimp Scampi at La Osteria in Palo Alto, CA. Amazing! Lobster and king crab legs at Fish Market in Santa Clara, CA. The best lobster this side of the US.

I second Roadwarrior. For your application, GLX MBR844C is the best choice. Megabass rods are great, but I hear that their customer service leaves alot to be desired. No disrespect meant here Lightninrod-

Very nice indeed! I'm considering one of the smaller Stella's as well, I have the larger ones that I use for surf fishing. I agree with the wars on Ebay. I am sure that I've bid against a couple guys from this site as well. ;D

NICE stuff there Jetsprint! Gotta love that Steez reel.

You may want to check with the BBB to see if there have been any complaints filed with that service place. Perhaps a long shot but if there are, that may be the answer to your question - Last thing you want is a motor with a cheap "buy in" if the service is then going to kill you-

Stratos are great boats for the money from what I have heard. Good luck with the purchase and make sure you post a picture of it when you get it!

If that is true Cabela then it must mean that they work If they do work I can only imagine how useful they wuld be out here in deep lakes, especially fishing for stripers.

I will start searching Ebay - but yes at $700 they aren't cheap.

;D

How do you like those Falcon rods Cabela10? The Rio ***** Lodge down in Brazil uses them exclusively, however I brought my own rods with me on the trip.

Grist, This is, with out a doubt, the best bass fishing site on the web. There are some good people here, although the jury is still out on Avid I recently joined also and am impressed with the brotherhood on this site. Welcome.

Thanks Sam, I'm curious though if anyone here has any experience with the unit. If I do end up getting it I'll keep you posted ;

Has anyone actually fished while they were using this system? What are your thoughts?

Hang tough, but first and foremost, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. The last thing you want is a relapse in pain. Hope to meet you someday

I disagree to a point. Reputable companies like G Loomis don't downgrade their rods - if anything they make their rods better.

A Bass Pro Shop is due to open in Manteca in '07. I have a feeling that I'll be spending alot of time there.

I do it all the time. I buy rods on Ebay based on what I know - Loomis, and Kistler mainly. I've scored some deals!

edbassmaster, I meant no offense to anyone with my post. I've used all the major providers and from my experience, have had issues with all of them, including Cingular. By the way Ed, Is that one of those bluetooth thing-a-ma-jiggers on your ear in your avatar??

Welcome to the forum and thank you, so much, for what you do for our country.
