Hite won at Pickwick this year fishing the Berkley Hollow Belly exclusively. http://blogs.tcpalm.com/ed_killer/2011/04/team-evinrudes-davy-hite-wins-bassmaster-elite-on-pickwick-denny-brauer-third.html

Hmm... I does not suck to be you... Have fun at ICAST. p.s. I have that same shirt you are wearing in the pic... However, I do not have the same fish. As always, BEST WISHES to you and yours!
-
POS and a complete waste of money. You have been around here long enough to know better. Why would you waste your money on something like that?
-
$150-$175 in 9/10 shape (cosmetic/ mechanical)
-
Just ordered a few swim jigs. Shipping is free with orders over $50.
-
Wow! Great review and advice. :Applause:
-
Sounds like a great trip.
-
Great story, beautiful pic! Next time start taking the Drammamine two days before going out.
-
Nice fish!
-
WOO-HOO! Congratulations! :Applause:

I just do it for fun, I'm round enough. 17 rigs and looking for my next one. Maybe we don't really "need" technique specific rods and reels, but they sure are a joy to collect!
-
Shallow: St. Croix Avid AVC70MM Deep: Lamiglas SR705R
-
GLX MBR844C or the BCR854 will make you very happy.
-
I own more St. Croix than G. Loomis because of the "value" for certain technique specific rods. For your application I would go with the Loomis flippin' stick.
-
The Avid AVC70MM is the ticket. MSRP is above your target, but with a little effort and shopping around, you might be able to pick one up for about $125 delivered. I have this rod matched to a CH 50MG and it is THE BOMB!
-
Well now BASSclary... I'll give credit where credit is due. Your advice and instructions are spot on. Good job!
-
New rod and reel required. For this application I think braided line is probably the ticket. I'm fishing Fireline Braid and like it just fine.
-
My jig and weighted soft plastics rods are the MBR 844C and BCR 854. You asked about smaller baits which is why I suggested the MBR 842. I use it for small swimbaits: Shadalicious, Berkley Hollow Belly and Swim Senko. I think the MBR842 is the right rod for 1/4 and 3/8 oz swimming jigs.
-
No. The hybrid is a meanmouth and are quite rare. These are all smallmouth, just HUGE!
-
Tatsu is THE BOMB! Otherwise, Seaguar InvizX #10 for spinning gear, #12 AbrazX for baitcasters.
