I moved your post up in the SE section. However, no one is dissin' you. Just about anyone on this forum that sees a post and can help, will! Although I don't know anything about that reservoir, maybe someone else will. Regarding "hit and run", blast away! Know one cares how many questions you ask nor how much you participate. It's all for fun. If you decide to get more involved, you will make friends and your posts may become more important to some members.

Well, I'm one of Rage Tail's biggest fans, but for shaky head fishing, I'm still married to the MegaStrike Shak E2/ GYCB Kut Tail.

So, how did you do?

I think you will like the CI4, it has many of the features that Shimano originally introduced in the Stella.

Balance is everything!

Top to Bottom: Topwater: Rage Tail Shad & Space Monkey; MegaStrike Cavitron; Zara Spook; LC Sammy Shallow: Bandit 100; LC RC 1.5; Mann's -1; Zoom Fluke or Sluggo; Hollow Belly or Shadalicious Mid range: LC RC 2.5 & 3.5; DT 6, 8 & 10; LC Staysee; KVD Red Eye Shad Deep: DD22; DT16 Jigs: GMAN Soft plastics: Rage Tail Thumper, Anaconda, Smokin' Rooster, Rage Hawg & Eeliminator; 5" Senko, Fat Ika & Kut Tail Craws: Rage Tail Baby Craw, Craw & Lobster Terminal Tackle: Gamakatsu 2/0, 3/0 & 4/0; 5/0 Moaner Stick'r & Weighted Stroker; 1/8, 1/4 & 1/2 oz bullet weights; swivels Line: Yo-Zuri Hybrid Hybrid #6 for spinning tackle, #12 for baitcasting That will get you started!

Sorry... Just having some fun. -Kent

Cut them down to the first eyelet and match them up with a cheapo reel and 80 lb braid. This makes for a GREAT lure retriever and probably the best use for the rods. :rolleyes:

Green, especially Forest Green, has universal appeal. You will notice it is one of our primary colors here on BassResource.com. For my money, the Curados are the perfect color with the touch of glitter. The reels match perfectly with the BCR series rods. I have not seen the new NRX in person.

No. This is their website: http://www.karulures.com/

Jeff has the rod you're looking for: AVC70MF

Specific models vary, but as a general rule, Avids and Legend Elite are one class heavier. My suggestion is Medium Power for most applications. I have one EC70MHF which is definitely Heavy Action regardless of the St. Croix rating.

Time to put down the suds and kick some booty! Little boys and girls (and big boys,too) are dreaming of stockings filled with Thumpers, Craws, Anaconda, Smokin' Roosters and such. Gonna find out who's naughty or nice... Santa Clause is coming...to town!

Excellent review!

Man, I remeber that day like it was yesterday! Nice fish. Who took that pic?

Spinning tackle: Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 Baitcasting gear: Hybrid #12

This is my favorite by far: StrikeBack Spinnerbait from MegaStrike: http://www.megastrike.com/#!products/vstc2=strikeback-spinnerbait I replace the skirts with Lumaflex skirts: http://store.jobabylures.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=J&Category_Code=SKL

Hey Mr. Swabby! Give me a call when you can get away for a day. -Kent

Lamiglas SR705R. Mine is matched up with a CTE200GT, 5.0:1

Hmm... Ugly Sticks: Not for bass fishermen that want to advance their game. Save your money and buy a rod and reel from our Flea Market. The rod, for around $100, might be an Avid AVC68MXF. The matching reel is a Citica. Spinning reel, Symetre. The rod might be an Avid AVS66MLF. There are lots of options, but I don't consider the Ugly Stick one of them.

Too cool! You guys are awesome! :D

Man, nice fish! :D

Welcome aboard!

I have an appointment in Selmer Friday morning. If you have room for me in your boat, maybe we could get together for half a day. If you are interested, let me know. -Kent

I have only missed three Saturdays since August. I haven't decided exactly where to fish next weekend, but I'm leaning towards Wilson below the Wheeler Dam. So far this fall we have had a couple of good days in terms of numbers, but have not found the big girls yet. Maybe this weekend things will improve.
