I have two of theses rods. The Nanoace Casting Rod 7'3" Med Hvy Frog I bought as a back up frog rod and I love it. From frogs, football jigs and c-rigs this thing rocks. I also have the 7'0" Med spinning for spybaits and it casts like a dream. No complaints here.

It throws 3/16 far as hell.

I'm a Kistler guy. I have tried a vast array of rods. Helium rods are sensitive, light, balanced and have great actions.

After pondering getting a JDM baitcasting reel for throwing the finesse baits I came across a smoking deal on the Megabass Zonda. I have bought/ traded for many high end reels in the past but have never held yet alone fished with something this light and or this smooth. I have had to tone down my casting style due to the reels ablity the throw light baits at and incredible distance. Does anyone here use this reel? If so what are you using it for, rod type and action, lbs of line, ect?

Hit me up.

Ditto

After fishing at night over the years it has come down to 2 baits, the devil horse and the Fat Ika in black with blue flakes rigged backwards.. Try it.

Up your game and give the flik shake by Jackal a shot, it can be swam or allowed to sink. Just flat out a productive way to fish.

Ado and I are gonna hit up LB tomorrow, feel free to join ...

HAPPY HOUR? when?

I hit a small lake/large pond yesterday after work and crushed them on the dropshot rig. Dead sticking seemed to be the key, 14 in total in just over an hours time. 4 inch black trick worm slathered in Jacks Juice did all the work, all I had to do was stand there! Largest fish came in around 5lbs, the average size around 2lbs. All were healthy and released. I can't say enough about the Daiwa Steez Compile-X 7ft med/lt spinning rod. It is worth every penny!

I'm gonna bust em this Sunday morning!

Code? I don't understand?

Is the one you speak of my Asian ?

Good lord, I like your train of thought Roadwarrior. I own 25+ setups, from dropshot to C-rig, spinnerbait, wacky, ect. I find it hard to dedicate a rod to a certain bait without getting it out on the water and putting it thought its paces. Being a power fisherman that had to learn to "slow down and lighten up" so to speak and adapt to finnese fishing and I have had to try many combos to find the correct fit for me. I tend to lean towards a longer rod when fishing spinning gear. I have a 7' ML Steez for drop shot and a 7'3 M Fuego for 90% of my other spinning needs, both being paired with Ci4 reels. I don't believe it's a marketing ploy, it's the option for balance, rod length/power and just plain how it feels in the hand while casting, reeling, hookset, playing the fish, ect. We all have different tastes. You wouldn't buy a Mini Cooper to haul mulch now would you?

A jig and chatter bait have worked so far.

That I do......

Pre spawn bite in the the smaller lakes and ponds is coming. Who's up for a little fishing? Hit me up.

A fishing buddy of mine throws LARGE swim baits in the local ponds and lakes, mostly surface or sub surface and he crushes them. Not only do the larger fish hit it, the 2-3 pound fish will hit too. His greatest success comes at night. I am amazed at the numbers he catches even in small ponds around here.

Northern Va / Fairfax... And yes I'm still around.

After being dealt a bad hand I am ready to play the game of life again. Nothing can beat fishing with the local boys!

I have fished every pond/lake in the NOVA area. All of them have produced fish but a few produce large fish. Time of year and location are key, that being said I have gained a lot of experience in the last 30 years of fishing these locations. Private or not I still fish them all. I was out last week and got 23 in a hour and a half. They all fell victim to the dropshot rig.. Only 1 topped 4 pound though, but still a good time. My largest to date came years ago at Woodglen, 8.6 lbs. Caught her on a Fat Ika.

l fished there alot in the 90's. The larger pools upstream and downstream always produced some quality fish. l always perfered the fishing upstream..

T-rig a tube, C-rigging a black Magnum Finnese worm or a Fat Ika weightless..
