Abu Vengeance & Vigilante
Well imo there is a significant difference I believe the new vengeance is more of a moderate action as the old one was a more fast action and more sensitive but heavier I think they cut corners on this new model to make it lighter and more appealing but not necessarily better. Abu garcias web site is just trying to sell rods that's what they are in the business of doing however I have fished both rods a great deal and in this case the only thing I don't like about the older model was the graphics the weight didn't bother me a hole lot this newer version is not as strong and feels way more moderate this is why I use it primarily for cranking,I'm probably going to give it away or sell it half of to a buddy of mine. I don't believe they make good 50$ rods anymore I'll be sticking to the more higher end models for now.

General Help
To fish a lake several times a week and not catch anything is pretty darn dedicated, I probably would have sworn that lake off. Like Ike says "never give up "

Abu Vengeance & Vigilante
I had the old vengeance but I gave it to my buddy and I got the new version silver with black but the old version is better but a little heavier. Can you believe a I have this 49$rod paired up with a curado ? Just temporary till I get a better cranking stick it works well for now.

Frogs
Can't beat the pad crashers but I still like using the kvd frogs they are very durable ppl complain about the hook ups but some minor modifications will help, first remove the rattle inside the bait so it collapses easier second bend the hooks up just slightly and you got a great frog, the details on them are really nice.

Those are really good rods they hold up to a beating and surprisingly sensitive.

P-Line CX Premium on a 2500 Size Spinning Reel - Doable?
I have been able to get away with up to 12 pound test of Cx premium on a 2500 because of the thin diameter of that certain line that pline cx is great line for spinning reels!

Storm Chug Bug: Snap. Yes or no?
I use snaps for poppers if I can, a lot of popper chuggers spitting baits don't have split rings and a lot of them are a little difficult to put a snap on so most of the time I tie directly to the bait.

Show me your tackle bags/boxes!
The older bags did have issues but the new bags are probably the best bank fishing bags to have, what other bag will hold three 3700s and one 3600 with room for about 25+ bags of plastics and two rods ?

Last Trip
Last time I went fishing about three weeks ago I couldn't catch em on nothing on any fast moving baits, but a yum dinger rigged wacky on a circle hook did the job and I avoided the skunk.

Shoulder pain/burning
I recommended that you ice your shoulder after a day on the water it will help it heal and relieve pain I've dislocated both my shoulders so I know what your feeling also see a chiropractor first then see a orthopedic surgeon if need be. I fish three or more times a month and I'm fine you'll recover your career is not over.

Square bills, spinner baits, chatter baits, frogs, soft plastics, buzz baits, jigs, swimjigs, and the kitchen sink. Im sure you'll catch something.- I cleaned my baitcasting reels and they got less smooth
This is why I don't service my reels anymore it has happened to me aswell I send them to my local tackle shop they got a guy there who services the reels cheap. I do however clean the bearings the worm gear and the brakes and put a drop of oil on them a small amount of grease on the worm gear and that's it. I don't take the reel apart whatsoever! - Summer Bank Fishing
