Thanks guys. I too was a big Lamiglas fan back in my river rat days. I was just surfing around and saw these rods. It's sad to see what their bass rods have become. I've got a couple of Fury's. I don't find them sensitive enough for bottom contact baits.

Well that's not encouraging ?

Has anyone here tried these rods? I'm looking at the 703c in particular. It looks like a lot of rod for under $100. But I also know you get what you pay for.... Anyone?

Ordered some jigs from @Siebert Outdoors last night.

I'm pretty much at the point where if it isn't a Daiwa or Shimano I don't even give it a passing glance.

I'm also a fan of Daiwa J 8.

I just read this whole thread. I need a nap & then I'll order some jigs

Picked up a Plano guide series 3600 tackle bag. $59 on clearance at Sportsman's.

Just wanted to pass this one along. I picked up another Plano guide series tackle bag today. Sportsman's has the 3600 on clearance for $59. It'll be the perfect size for my Sundolphin. Here you go

Are you hitting your spool release button?

I agree with the above posters. A couple of my favorite lakes always have a stiff late afternoon/early evening breeze. They are also great for night fishing. I always kind of snubbed my nose at spinning gear for bass. That is until I tried braid last year, it was an absolute game changer for me. Since adding 4 different spinning rigs to my arsenal I caught more fish last year than any past year that I can remember.

Okay......

Years ago I had some Culprits that were what they called "Salt & Pepper". They were a clear worm with black specks in them. I honestly don't remember doing very well with them.

LOL, I've bought 3 in the last couple of weeks

I have one spot I fish where Motor Oil is my go to color. I sometimes throw one Black Grape Tournament worm into a bag of a half dozen or so Motor Oil Tournament worms. The color they turn when they bleed together is pretty sweet.

What kind of rod is it? Is it even worth fixing?

Loomis E6X 853s JWR with a Daiwa BG 2500. It's a good setup.

Daiwa Tatula 150. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Yes, just searched for "tackle bag".

The Christmas returns are showing up at the Amazon warehouse. I scored a brand new Plano 3700 guide series bag for $57.18!

I didn't know they still made keeper hooks. Those used to be all I used. Never lost many fish with them either. I might have to order a couple of packs and see if they're as good as I remember.

That corked boomstick looks pretty cool too

Nobody?
