Once the ice is gone, it's 4 days a week. My pond is a mile from the house and on my way home from work. Sometimes I might only get an hour or 2 in.

If you want to push a great frog rod try the Daiwa Tatula 7'4" HF. Rod will blow your mind

Nope. But it looks like one

The DX??

Same here. My frog/pitching rod is my favorite and most expensive setup. I run a 7'4 HF setup. If the OP wants to stay with Abu, I would recommend the 7'3" MHF Veritas.

Line conditioner

Yes sir. Lots of thump. Throw them deep and yo-yo them back.

Yep. Guys clean them in a couple minutes with a pair of shears.

We could ice out by this weekend. I'll be throwing lipless and jerks Friday if I get the chance

Least favorite bait for me. I have a dedicated crank rig and a ton of cranks that get used maybe 5 times a year. It's also my cheapest setup. I'd rather go wacky worming. But I'm throwing KVD 1.5's when I do.

Green Pumpkin

Horton just got knocked out. I have him too Anyone else watching the weigh in?? Freaking hilarious. Love me some G-Man. Hoping Lucas has a 10# bag too

Yeah buddies!! Here we go again. Anything can happen in this 1st go round. I had... Matt Lee Jordan Lee Justin Lucas Timmy Horton Chris lane.

Sometimes my BPS identifies as a DSG

Is it soft like J-Braid or stiffer like 832??

@Siebert Outdoors all day long

Personally I wouldn't buy 180$ Costas without trying them on first

BPS is always stocked....with everything but the things you really want.

Never buy in store from either anymore. Still go since BPS is 10 minutes away and Cabelas is half an hour. I go to get ideas. I'd rather give my money to TW and @Siebert Outdoors or the local archery shop. Prices are better on Amazon too. I went to BPS to get a bow release, and saw it for half the price on Amazon. I ordered it after BPS wouldn't price match. It's ok if you can't wait or don't know any better.

Sufix 832......obviously

Not on the auction site, but I will recommend the 580P Fantails!

Second this. Amber is my favorite for all around. The amber and amber/green mirror are the same visually looking through. However,the green mirror look pretty sweet.

Good going @A-Jay! Very nice thing to do.

8.1.1 Tatula CT. awesome pitching reel. Bombs 1/2 oz frogs a mile too. 130$ max

My Orra winch is going on like 5 seasons. Basic reel cleaning,oil,and grease is all i've ever had to do to it. Still one of my smoothest and farthest casters.
