Looks like a little to much motor for that boat set up. Insurance should be cheap.

I ended up taking the plunge. Ended up with a EC70MHF and ES66MF. He sold the EC66 :'( They look great and cant wait to use them. He just got 6 Elite 07 demos in, trying to get dips on them early for next spring.

I have a chance to get two St.Croix Elite series demo rods for $120 each EC70mhf and EC66mhf from a local shop. They are stamped demo and have a july 06 date on them. They are in excellent shape and know the person that used them and he didnt use them much due to being a Loomis fan. My question is there would be no warranty(the shop will cover untill july 07)and is this still a good deal seeing that these are over 300 new? Just Curious, I hate to pass it up. :-/

Congrats, What did you get in it? I didnt finish mine till I was 28 :

I need three more rods, I would love to get three more avids but have a ton of other stuff I need to spend money on. I guess should I just wait till I have the extra money for the avids? What about the premier series? I have heard bad things. :-/

Just wondering if anyone is using them and what you think. I see they are on sale for $79 normally $119 seems like a decent deal. I am just starting to built up gear and looking for something decent at a good price. I have a avid ac66mf and ac70mf and still need a couple more rods. I just want a good rod that is sensitive and wont break, is to high of a graphite rating mean it will break easier? just wonderign seems the more sensitive the weaker it would become. Thanks to all Steve

Bass Insider Bass Pros Pretty much Tivo them all and watch them though.

Thanks for the help guys, I grew up Walleye fishing and got bite by the Bass bug last spring. I live on Pontiac lake. I am close too a ton of others though. Do you get up this way fishing much?

I searched around and could not come up with a good list of terminal tackle that is needed. I am looking to get a good set up and pretty much a newb. I know I need differnt hooks, but weights(worm, sinker, screw in), beads, swivels(ball bearing or regular) split rings, rattles and so on :-/. What do I need to cover the bases. Thanks

Hello, I am looking to get a good set up of rod/reel combo and need some advice to cover the basics. I currenty have 2 Shimanos symeter 2500's and a Quantum energy pt 7.0:1 which I got from my wife on xmas. I dont have a pole for the baitcaster. I am using two 6'6 Clarus rods for the spinning reels. I got got into bass fishing heavy last spring and used mostly spinning reels and borrowed a friends baitcaster which I learned to love. I plan on getting another baitcaster in 5.1:1 this spring. Now finally to my questions. What rod is best going to suit both of the reels? I know I cant cover all styles of with only fours set ups but would like to do the best as possible. I think I would like to us the 5.1:1 for crankbaits mostly and not even sure for the 7.0:1 Any help would be great. I might add a fifth set up too if $ also but dont know as to what would be best. I would like to have a set up for frogs/ top water too is the 7.0:1 good for this? Steve
