Another option - which I have two of - is the Okuma Reflexions. About the same price as the Procyon...and so far seems to be a really good rod.

I like Furys myself..currently half my arsenal is on Furys.

I prefer the wire keepers - if I'm going to re-use a bait, they seem to tear it up less than the lead wedge-hooks.

Nice to know it's going to a good cause. That trailer of yours needs all the help it can get.

I don't use XF rods...ever...so can't say specifically. If you want just a fast though, the 7'3" Procyon MH is a Fast, not an Extra-Fast.

I can't tell you power-to-power how they rate, but I do own rods from both lines. I think the Procyon is a little crisper than the Aird-X and a bit lighter. It's also a better looking rod, IMO.

Look at my profile - it's there like the rules say it's suppose to be.

Glenn just did a major upgrade of the forum software - there's liable to be a few bugs here and there until it settles in. It's always that way with upgrades - 10 years of being a programmer taught me that.

Never did get around to the vid. But here's a couple shots I took for the 'For Sale' adverts I'll be putting up in a couple places.

I fish Ned light - Mitchell Avocet RZT-1000 with 6# InvizX on a Diawa Procyon 7' Light/Fast.

Not sure, but I think their trip on the water was cancelled.

It's one car, man. Silver-gray body, but a dark rear-end...it's just at a ****-eyed angle diving into the deeper water just beyond the concrete lip of the ramp. I've seen cars like that...some kids think it's cool to have a dark rear on a light car.

Left to right we have boat, two guys, trailer, car...backed by the dock...nothing else I'm seeing in that pic.

Are you seeing the dark trunk lid on the silver-gray car and thinking it's two cars?

I'm using hair jigs for finesse work. Lindy Little Nipper in 1/16oz. Usually a 4" Curly tail or twin tail grub - Mr. Twister or Zoom Fat Albert.

Someone tried to tell me that 'It's not that bad'...I showed them this graph Now try to tell me that Climate Change isn't real...

This was from one of my FB Bass groups...guy who posted. "Maxwells right now… holy **** UPDATE I JUST SAVED A MANS LIFE HE WAS DROWING IN THE BACKSEAT AND I JUMPED IN AND GOT HIM OUT" "I dove in and got my hands inside the window unlocked the car and told him to take one last breathe and I would pull Him out" The shirtless one was the guy in the car, the one on the phone was the rescuer.

Yep - last time I tried to quit on the suggestion of the wife (who's an ex-smoker) it wasn't 24 hours later she told me to go out and buy more...I'd turn into a right b-tard.

This morning on Lake Minnetonka, Maxwell Bay launch

I go lighter for Ned - Avocet RZT-1000 on a Diawa Procyon L/F

We've been having hot/humid weather this week - temps near or over 90. Now Friday night we're suppose to have storms and after they pass, high temps will drop to 70s and low 80s. About time - I haven't been able to do much with the trailer without risking heat exhaustion.

First question that always needs to be asked. What's your budget?

Dude - seriously - you need to have Keri drag you out to the lake for some fishing...you're turning into a geek behind the computer keyboard. Really, these upgrades are cool...

That bait monkey is a sneaky fella...creeps up and bites you in the bum every time.
