Here ya go! http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/130634-rod-selection-the-basics/

I like everthing to match or compliment the total presentation.

Then go with a heavier braid. For baitcasting 40-50lb braid and 20 lb Tatsu is a match I like. I have 20/10 on a spinning reel and have no issues.

Comparable diameters.

Getting to the SEC Championship Game may be the best the Tigers can hope for, but who knows. A few years ago Eli beat Tom Brady in the most improbable upset in NFL history. There is no reason to believe it can't happen in collegiate sports.

Of the rods I own it would be the G. Loomis GLX MBR852C or BCR893.

Deep breath...I am looking forward to the video, too!

So the next thing you're going to tell me is "There is no Santa Clause".

Arkansas crushed Ole Miss and the Tigers had their hands full in Tennessee. Should be a great game next week. It's not often that everyone in Georgia is suddenly a Hogs fan.

Sure, why not? Send me your mailing address in a PM and I will send you some baits. -Kent

Too cool, this should be fun!

We are all rooting for your daughter!

Next time could you be a little more detailed?

I am little surprised the vote is so close (63/36). Generally, Shimano scores around 69% vs. the entire field! I prefer centrifugal brakes. Set 'em and forget 'em.

#1 on my list of new lures to buy!

Keep an eye on our Flea Market. By the time all of your snow melts I'm pretty sure one of these rods will pop up! Otherwise, check the Black Friday sales. The rods list for around $190 and you might get a 25% dfiscount at some of the retailers. This might be a better option very close to your pricing point: Pinnacle DHC5-701CAMH. We have numerous reviews of the Pinnacle line-up: http://www.bassresource.com/content/search?SearchText=pinnacle&BrowsePageLimit=30

Well, I suspect you occasionally catch fish when other guys can't buy a bite and the other way around sometimes. I have plenty of days where nothing works and then run into some guys that just rocked their world. It's very common when fishing ledges to get completely shut out and then suddenly find a spot where they are stacked. All I'm saying is that just because they are not biting for you or me, it doesn't mean they can't be caught.

I think you would be better off buying a "gently used" Avid, that's where St.Croix shines. Specifically, AVS68MXF or AVS70MF. Another option to consider is the Pinnacle DHC5-681SPM.

Professional advice!

The Stradic CI4+ is a great reel. Match it with either the AVS68MXF or AVS70MF.
