I bought mine for 200, and it was a great buy then. Now at 170, they are a even better buy. Sensitive, light, great action. I only own a 765 right now, but I am gonna be buying more.

Hands down spend the extra 10 bucks and get a Okuma. I love mine (7'11" XH). I recently broke the tip guide and called up Okuma and asked no questions, just told me to send it back with a check to pay for shipping costs. Two weeks later I had a brand new rod at my doorstep. Rod does great with Hudds, Punkers, and anything else you throw at it. Mine is paired with a Shimano Cardiff 400, which is also a great reel for the money.

I would say myself. I don't really try and look like anybody.

How much do you want to spend? The Citica is great, but if you can spend the money, the Revo line up is awesome! I got the SX myself and love it.

A high speed reel, a Revo 7:1 reel for example, is good because you can pick up line faster and get the fish out of the cover more quickly.

Speckled Trout in the Saltwater version is what I use. Produces for me! Just remember to add a feathered rear hook.

At least you have caught something on it. I havent caught anything on mine yet.

All I can say is wow. Haha. I'll stick with Tungsten.

Mono-Trilene Big Game or P-Line CXX Flouro-Trilene 100% Braid- Power Pro

Okuma XH 7' 11" rod, Shimano Cardiff 400 reel, and P-Line CXX 25lb line. I throw all my swimbaits on it. See them in my signature.

Did you break it in three pieces? LOL. Thats one bug eyed bass too.

To make things simple, I think the frog most people use, is Snag Proofs Bobby's Perfect Frog. Its a great frog with quality hooks and a good hook up ratio. My other favorite is Reaction Innovations Swamp Donkey. I like its skinny profile and up turned hooks. What ever you choose, make sure you be patient with the hook set!

For all my froggin needs I use only braid. It provides the no stretch for extremely piercing hooksets. Also, a fast actioned, long rod would help too. Is this in open or slop type water?

I can't wait to give the Space Monkey a whirl!

Send that mojo to Cali!!

Mono or P-Line Copoly here.

I want to get some Rincons.

What size tank do you recommend for raising a bluegill? I have been wanting to get a bluegill for awhile now, but don't know where to start as far as aquarium stuff goes.

My buddy (Brokeju) fishes dobyns, and I have a Powell. I like them both, but I like how the Dobyns are balanced.

That is a great way to put it! It is exactly like that haha. I started out with a Ultimate Bluegill, and now have over 200 dollars worth of swimbaits.

I use Double Wide Beavers, Sweet Beavers, 6 inch Senkos, etc. Pretty much anything works. I like beavers the most though. Or a jig.

I really hope I can go some day. It looks like a blast. Have fun to those who are going. The public can just sit and wait until coverage gets posted online.

What!!! Dang man, you are killing me here. I am so jealous!

I have a 7'11" XH and I love it! I had to send it because the tip guide broke, but I am dying without it. I have used everything on it from Hudds to Baitsmiths. Even though a light rod would be nicer for Baitsmiths and other small swimbaits, I think this rod is fine since it can handle heavy and light swimbaits. I have it paired up with a Shimano Cardiff 400, which is a great reel. Awesome combo, awesome price. Be careful though, swimbait buying is very addicting.

Keep it down, thats the new hot lure this year. Haha. I thought Roland was the top sell out.
