Wagster

I caught my first bass on a shad dart.

I live in Westminster, MD and fish Liberty, Loch Raven and Pretty Boy Reservoir.

I know, right?

I just picked up a few high-end combos for 2021. First up is the Daiwa Steez Bottom Contact paired with a 2020 Metanium. This setup feels balanced especially for a 7'5" rod. This will be my 1/2 oz jig rod. Second up is the Megabass Detroyer P5 Madbull paired with a Steez A TW. I'll be using this for medium cranks, top water, bladebaits, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits. I've had this on the water several time and it is amazing. I have never spent this amount of money on 2 combos, but life's short so why not. I can't wait to put these new additions to work this spring.

It depends on the condition. If they are suspended I try a spinnerbait. If that doesn't work I try a jerkbait, then dropshot or a blade bait. If they are cruising the banks I try tubes, compact jigs and ned rigs. The fun part is trying to figure them out that day. I caught this on a tube off of a steep bank in 30 foot of water. The water temp was 46 degrees.

Doug, Wow what a generous offer. I'm going to pick up a DX 784 and grab a DX 745 in January. I just sold some things to free up some money. Thanks, Billy

Thanks!

I'm fishing grasslines, light laydowns, brush piles that the sneaky tournament guys drop in the winter, rocks, ledges and open water. I throw up to 1/2oz pitching and football jigs. Do you think this should work? I like the fact that I could also use it for a C-rig and chatterbaits. Thanks, Billy

This is a list of the Extremes that are available. DX702C DX703C DX704c DX705C DX742CSH-(low quantity) DX743CSH DX743CFH DX784C DX795Flip

I'm getting a replacement for the DX 703SF that snapped on me for the 2nd time. I was offered a Serria and a Champion because they are out of a lot of the DX models. The DX 745 is a killer rod!

That's not an option right now. I just forked out a Disney World trip for the family and with Christmas around the corner, I'm broke.

I need a jig rod by the end of the month.

That's my first choice. I have a warranty replacement for an Extreme but they are out of the DX 745 and won't have them until January. They are revamping the line.

I'm looking to get a Dobyns jig rod for throwing 1/2 jigs on the reservoirs in Maryland. Most of my time will be fishing grasslines, lay downs, occasional rocks and open water down to 40'. I'm leaning towards the DC 744C but would like other opinions. Thanks, Billy
