Shimano Cardiff 100B $99.99

Falcon® Original Series $74.99

I can't comment on the Falcon rods but if you choose to have a round reel, the Cardiff is a battle horse and one of the lightest, which is very important for me.

Good luck

Catt and Flech: i kinnda had enough of the judgement you throw my way, as well as others It is exactly why you will never find me in a church.You also do not know what it took for me to get where i am . nor could you understand where I am heading, I can tell you that won't be any church!

Im feeling it I aint in the club I know, and I never will be . I guess it time to say thanks for the chuckles and see ya again some day, to some of the folks I met here, but i got enough family and friends to keep me goin. I will be more careful to watch where and how I post 8-)

What????

If you'll read a few of my posts on gear, I talk about value and working within your budget- that's FAR from judgemental. Just because I made a comment (back to Catt) about saving and not being into instant gratification you JUDGE me as some religious zealot, tackle nazi eliteist. I call BS on that, my friend. I've not only defended you but I Pray for you. As far as Church goes, you can't blame me for that... you haven't been in one since long before you knew me. Besides, I Pray for you and your work weekly (you've been in my prayer book since March) so you can use any excuse you want but me.... God didn't make you a victim, he allowed you to make choices...

Seriously Dominick, When have I ever judged you?

How quickly you forget... you already forgotten the encouragement of going back to school? Did anyone else on the boards offer you a carrot along with their Prayers? I didn't think so.

I could write pages on what it took to get to the point I'm at in my life.... the stories are a little different, but everyone has one.

I'm really surprised, Dom, really surprised.

i'm sorry to see muddy taking things personal i'm in your shoes as well muddy look at me i started out with an ugly stik, now i have a 45 dollar rod for 24.95 wowsers!!!   none of us can really judge anyone thats certianly not my nor any mans job, however i do agree with flechero about budgets he and i have also discussed this in many a pm. if i had the money i'd have a closet full of g loomis but unfortinately i cant even afford the price of a 6 pack of beer that takes money away from my fishing which is a no no   i may get a berkley lighting which i saw for 60 bucks down the road but i need to continue saving for my tournaments which im dying to fish in by the way muddy ,catt and whoever flechero and i both are christians (certianly not neo nazi relgious types)  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D im redneck yes but dang come on yopu guys wheres the love??????????
