Stopped out to BPS after work today to meet a fishing buddy and cruise around. He wanted to pick up a new reel and I didn't need anything. That was until I spotted her sitting on the rack just gleeming. I've wanted to replace my weightless soft plastics/dropshot rod for some time now, but never really pulled the trigger.

 

This pretty girl you might ask? A Fenwick HMG 6'9" ML-F spinning rod. They were on sale too $79.99 from $100.00. Paired it up with a Pflueger Supreme XT that I got as a gift this Christmas. Well balanced and sleek bass catching outfit (I HOPE ).

 

I think I'm going to name her Veronica...

Congrats on the new rig!

Congrats, I tried to do the same thing but.

 

 

It was raining so I met Nicole (wife) at the mall for lunch (next to Dick's).  We went rod shopping for me after lunch and she wound up with a new Quantum Escalade rod and matching bc reel. I got to pay for it.

Perks of being 23 and single. I get to bar crawl with the buds and not worry about my wallet thinning out from anyone else.

 

On a side note, the fact that you fish with your wife is awesome!

Thanks, enjoy your singleness...

 

On a side note, spend less time in bars and more time at BPS, at least you have something when you get home...

Spend enough time in a bar and you get something after you get home.....................................................................a hangover.  

I haven't even met Veronica and I allready like her. Congrats.

Sweet!

I'm a big fan of Fenwick. All my baitcasters are HMG's. Enjoy your purchase.

What a lovely couple.

Nicole needs to teach me how to do this, I need new stuff!

What's a hangover?

I have that exact same reel on that exact same rod.  Your going to love it for drop shotting.  Bought mine as a combo off of amazon at a smokin' price.  Slick rig.

Sometimes I'll go to Cabela's for lunch because they have the Cottonwood Grill in there...that's usually an expensive sandwich. I don't think I could walk through a Dicks, Gander, Cabela's, or BPS without spending money.

i thought I was the only one that named my combos

You are. It's time for us to be honest. This thread is actually an intervention your wife set up. The OP was just bait to lure you in.

Guilt as charged!

 

I do name most of my combo's makes things a bit more interested and makes me chuckle in my head. I'm not a very normal person so I do some pretty unconventional things.

 

When  I was in highschool I named my bat. Ole Evelyn helped us go to state one year.

Now you did it ... that d**n Britney Spears song is stuck in my head ...

 

Hi Veronica, welcome to the forum.

I saw that rod for the first time earlier this week.  Looked nice.  Light.  A friend thought it was a Dick's copy of the Quantum Smoke which he says is a great rod for the price.  Light, sensitive and strong.  Please post back about the rod once your better half has fished it.  It might be another good rod for the $100 crowd.

I don't walk into Bass Pro unless I have cash to spend. At least a Ben Franklin in my pocket.   I don't window shop!
