I have a great setup this year. It feels complete. Still, my mind is begging for a new rod. I have no need for a new rod. I'm tossing around rods I want, as well as replacing the ones I own that don't absolutely blow me away. It's the baitmonkey.  And everytime my beautiful wife ticks me off (god I love her) the baitmonkey digs in a little harder. My needs are met and then some, and yet I'm dreaming of dropping $$$ on **** i don't need. Maybe what I need is help.

sounds  like its time for a new rod to me.

Buy an Ugly Stick from your local walmart.

Falcon Cara BSF rod is multi task finesse bass rod.

I’m not qualified to speak to this condition you’re suffering.  
 

Good luck, I’m out. 

Start building rods.

for a second I thought I created a new account and made this post.   But it can’t be possible… can it!?!?

 

 

anyways I just recently got a 13 Fishing Widow Maker (they dropped the name and changed it to Myth) and I’m really impressed and happy with it that I got another Myth rod.    Didn’t break the bank and it fishes very well.

Same here.  Condition may lessen after reaching 75 years old.  Mine did.  

you don't need a good travel rod? Daiwa just released some nice ones. what if you go on a trip and realize you're close to a pond? 

I decided long ago that I was sticking to one brand.  I like the feel of them, the seats are great.  I now have almost every rod in their lineup.  There pretty much isn't a rod that they offer that will do much good for me.  I don't have any inclination of adding another brand into the mix (I did it once for a special purpose and won't do it again).  So you could say that I am rod satisfied.  Or, I could add a second of one or two of the models that I like a lot...

You can't type that all up and NOT mention the brand.  LOL

 

What brand are you talking about?   

 

Thanks

Sometimes I open my rod locker and stare into it for a while before shutting it in disgust and returning to the 4 rods I always use.

 

Other times I open it and stare into it thinking of all the gaps I have in my lineup and what I should pick up next.

He's talking about Falcon rods.  Knows them inside out.

Thanks.  I bet there are a few people on this board that know them better than I do even.  I know the ones I have though.

If it's just fishing gear, consider yourself fortunate. Brown Uniform Santa just dropped off my 15th guitar the other day. 12 amplifiers. I don't know how many rods, reels, or guns I have. 🤦‍♂️I have issues.

How about a couple of free puppies ?

How about a custom made rod?

A good quality BFS rod and reel set up will renew your game plan and feed the monkey too.

I have many guitars, hifi and pro audio equipment, sound recording equipment including old and new microphones and compressors. I have problems too.

I wouldn’t worry about it my man, just part of getting better as an angler. I just got into bass fishing like this, but I’m really lovin’ it! I already have a lineup of 8 rods and I’m just a shore guy lol. I’ve got 5 casting rigs and 3 spinning, but man am I versatile

I have 5 guitars (one amp for the electric one) and can't play.    BUT even if I could play, there's no way I could afford 15 plus amps.  Except for airguns, my other guns haven't been shot in over 30 years.  😭

 

Thanks for reminding me to pull out the airguns and do some shooting.  Nice thing about them is I don't need to find a gun range.

You don't need help, you need to start fishing custom glide baits.  Then you can buy new rods, to throw the new baits with.  When you can't find a rod that costs more than the next new bait you want, you are only a few dollars away from living the dream.
