Concept was right, wording made it read wrong. Weight in water depends on buoyancy as well and for that you need the density.

6'8" MXF St. Croix. Choose your flavor to match your budget. Killer for jerkbaits as well.

Bank fishing I wear a fly fishing vest. Pack in it and go. Anything else I find superfluous and just extra weight.

For search baits I had my rods built to 7'10" and outside of my dedicated jerkbait rod and close quarter rods the rest are 7'-7'4". I chose 7'10" back when my rod lockers were only 8' long. Today I would go a bit longer if redoing them, but not a ton more.

I am all about made in the USA, but would never buy a premier. There are a couple mojo's in my house though. Compare an Avid and Premier and you will never want a premier. Compare the Avid and Mojo and you wonder if the Avid is worth it. I think it is, but the difference is less than between the Mojo and Premier.

My cure was just to buy a WI one. Goes to a good cause...and when I don't it limits lakes I can run to quick. Defended the cure by renting a cabin there for a week.

I've driven it, just not fished out of it Test drive and re-winterization. Was a brutal day. So hard to buy something new and then plop it in storage. Boat is up at Mille Lacs...but will make it home before ML unthaws. Lots of new things to put in her. Can't wait. Winter is classically my favorite season. Normally I would trade more of it for a shorter summer, but NOT this year. The fish are calling!!

Holy cow! I guess I should put the snowmobile away.

Where and how you park can be huge too. Backing into a tight spot with no side access is always a great idea

Anytime they could tangle, subjected to being in a tube in a moving vehicles or I have to carry a bunch of them they get wrapped.

That is never going to happen. Either way, at least you have one good reel. As for which brand is better, neither is the only answer. At any point in time or depending on the model each has something that is superior to the other. I will buy whatever works best for what I want it to do.

I'm with A-Jay, it isn't because I expect it to stop a real thief.

Even before the internet, it was easy to go down a strange path. I read books, magazines, attended Bass U events, hung out at tackle shops and did all I could pre-internet. I still ended up with a bunch of crap and wasted time. Last time I did a major sort on my tackle I off loaded more than half of it.

Spinnerbait 3/8 or 1/2oz + trailer Chatterbait 3/8 or 1/2oz + trailer Jigs 3/8 or 1/2oz + trailer Texas Rig 3/8 and up including trailer For all of those, MH is your weapon of choice. I don't understand how M is even an option.

Our's used to be Galyan's though and they always had great tackle selections. Seeing Scheels is crazy to me as I grew up with the Scheel family.

The cost cutting foam and guides are to fit a price point. If the blanks are as stellar as they sound they will find their way into a more premium build. I have a bunch of St. Croix's and love their sticks.

I've caught them on Bass Jigs before. Fun fight.

Straight braid here. Can't say that I never foul, but it isn't all that often.

I would buy 3 MH before even contemplating the M in a BC. It is what is in my hands by far the most often.

If you have to choose between one $800 combo or 4 $200 and you will never be able to buy anymore tackle ever the 4 $200 ones win EVERYTIME.

First nice rod I bought was an 844 blank. Wish you could still get them as blanks. Great stick.

Name one government dominant activity that is efficient.

Found a couple holes in my arsenal that needed to be filled.

Na, he lives in Fargo. It is a guarantee there.

If there was a fresh 3lb fish there everyday and anyone on this forum was a 3 minute journey from their house we'd all be there catching it everyday.
