i wasted no time Goose!  Slimed up indeed.  caught 2 nice little guys on the wacky senko last night, and a 3rd one jumped off right at the bank.

 

Yeah baby - THAT'S the way to do it...

I like bocas but man their site can be confusing.  That type r is super solid.  Kind of wish I kept it instead of selling it.  I replaced it with a exsence DC for my frog reel.

Nice!!! Wish I could post a pic of the entire Arsenal all together. 

First one on the new rod. Not a big one but it beats nothing!

haven't fished in like 16 years, finally got around to buying new gear because I'm heading to Quetico for 8 days later this year.

 

Metanium mgl arrived today and I was finally able to complete my newest combo.

Shimano Poison Adrena 6'10 M/MF with Shimano Metanium Mgl XG

My most used ones,,,,

Threw a set og corks I had around on the J dream and some Boca 7's  

So it started snowing this morning...might as well swap some parts around.

My set ups include...

Stradic CI4+ 3000 on a St. Croix Mojo 7'1" MF "New SCIII blank"

Stradic CI4+ 2500 on a G. Loomis GL3 7' MF

Pflueger Patriarch 9540 on a St. Croix Premier 6'6" MF "Yes I realize I need a bigger rod for this reel lol"

Daiwa Lexa 100HL on a St. Croix Premier 6'6" MHM

Quantum Smoke 101spt on a St. Croix Mojo 7' MF

Abu Garcia Pro Max on a Shimano Sojourn 8' XH "Should probably be an Ambassador or Calcutta but meh.."

Just got the curado I in yesterday.  I'm impressed so far. Hopefully today or tomorrow I'll really know how it performs on the water. 

It's here! Going on my Fury 795SB

 

I've got the fury 795 as well, I like the rod but I'm not sure what to expect when I'm throwing 3oz lures.  I feel like it casts ok, maybe I just need to get used to it.  I'm interested in what you think about that rod.  Also, nice pick up on the tatula HD.

I'll let you know. This combo was more of a novelty. As state tourneys can't throw the a rig. Only time I may use it is in club tourneys, get a limit then hunt for a kicker with a swimbait. Just getting my feet wet with swimbaits myself.  Days I go fun fishing I'll be throwing it mostly. 

While I'm at it ...

What rod is that?

Daiwa Ardito

My first DC reel ever on my first G. Loomis rod. The Exsence DC is definitely heavy, but it feels like a tank. I'm still debating whether I keep it or sell it to get a Met DC instead. I think it would work great in my next trip to Argentina

Daiwa Ardito, It seemed like the best choice for me, my budget was ~$150 and 3 pieces or more, with a case, for travelling

Now on its new permanent home. Orochi XX Perfect Pitch

Balance is very good for a rod of its power rating.

Just once so far. Weather decided to get cold again. Hopefully the report doesn't change and I'll be out next weekend.

Pitching jigs and other plastics with 1/2oz weight. Open water football jigs and apparently it makes a great frog rod so those too

I've had mine out a few times so far.  It's a phenomenal reel.

The Met DC is gonna be a little heavy also. I was undecided also and just ordered the standard Mets. Ordered 5 to hold me over until the 16 Met LH comes out. But my question is where did you get the green NRX? Looks like u got the MH, what length did u get it in? Mine should all be here within this coming wk I can't wait.
