That is the perfect summation of the BPS Extreme.  If you think it comparable to the Crucial, you aren't the only one laughing.   :-/

Southern,

Fortunately for you, Tons of anglers have used the Extremes and still slam hogs with them. I think its a nice Broomstick and would add it to my collection of non-fishable tackle that still produce good catches. This place is just full of fishing connaisseurs  that forget that not everyone ( go Figure?) has their taste or budget. I should post pics of what a lot of people would consider crap that I use just to watch heads spin. They don't mean anything by it, just bad wording. (sometimes) :-/

I like the Kistler!

Don't buy one Crucial, buy two.  Then break the guides off and give them to your kids to play swords with.  That's all they're good for.

i would get the kistler too,in fact im going to bps tomorrow and mite just bring the alton jones rod home with me.i really dont see nothing special bout the shimano line of anything,im using my crucials for my spinnerbait rods.

There is any easy way to solve this argument. Go to a BPS and pick up comparable models of Extremes and Magnesiums. I think most people will agree with Burley and I.

are u and burley comparing kistlers to the extremes or crucials to the extremes.i have never said the extreme is the same league rod as a kistler mag,i was comparing the extreme to the crucial in which i dont need either of your opinions as i own both and have used both.

That's great! I like the Magnesiums too, But it was not the point I was getting at. I prefer making people ( New Members) feel more comfortable than uncomfortable.  

Thanks all, I'm done.

I have been looking out my window at the SNOW and thinking of the two rods which one would be better! So I think I will throw it by the experts! What do you guys think? I was thinking 7' MH in spinning or trigger. The bait I would throw would be senko's , jigs,T-worms, fin.worms,ect.

I just wanted to know of the two rods, what one you guys would like better! I didn't think it would end in fight. So I will ask for more pro's and cons of these two rods. I want to buy a rod soon and now someone told me to get a St.Croix Avid rod so what do you guys think of the 3 of them?

I know you didn't mention this one, but Cumaras have been going very cheap on fleabay lately.

Buy a Cumara.  Then bring it home and bolt it to your kid's bike.  Then glue an orange pennant to it so he don't get hit by cars.

Call me crazy. but I'm thinking you don't like Shimano rods, do you?

I just ribbing.  I've never fished a Shimano rod to any extent.  I'm sure they are fine.  

Although I knew a blind guy once that used a Cumara for a stick and kept on getting hit by cars since he never could figure out what he was touching with it.

I misspoke. Replace "Magnesium" with "Crucial" and I still stand with the statement.

And why you are comparing a Crucial to an Extreme in a thread about Carrot Stix or Magnesiums is beyond me.

Thank you Dan ! They got off track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would ask Micro what brand of rod he's using to poke people in the ribs with, It's already got a bite ! ;D

Avid's look real sweet too! good luck with that. Create a poll and see what the other 600 plus who have read this thread think. and then have it moved to....Favorite "All Time" Threads.
