Tackle Question?
I see it is no longer carried on the G.Loomis website. My particular binder was given to me by a friend in Alabama. These were promotional gifts that came with new rods at the time.

What Now?
Just have to pick your days in the Mid South. Winter is the VERY BEST time of year for trophy smallmouth fishing on the Tennessee River. The two in my avatar were caught the third week of January a few years ago.

First Time Swimbait User - Which Jig Head Do I Need?
Huh? The main decision is the weight. 3/0 or 4/0 weighted hooks will be just fine.

Favorite Spinning Reel
I have owned 5 models, all NIB and paid around $300 for each from the original owners. Two were won in tournaments and the guy just wanted quick money. I don't really know how the others were acquired, but I bought three of my five from BR members in the Flea Market.

Favorite Spinning Reel
I sent my 2500FB to Mike at DVT to balance on a custom he built for me. The reel was perfect, but what the heck, I had him service it while he had it in his shop. The reel had never been fully broken down and frankly, I don't think it needed a thing. It's hard to improve a 10/10, but I am still saving my pennies for a FI. BTW, I have a newer Model, 2500 FD, but I prefer the FB. It seems a bit more compact to me.
