Check out the pair on this... 

 

 

Traded in the older CI4s for the new ones eh? Looks snazzzzy! Have you fished or back yard casted them yet? It is just nice to see reels without red accents and another reel that utilizes the MGL spool.

I did. I had confidence that Shimano wouldn't let me down, and so far they haven't. I posted up an overall fist impressions thread in the rod/reel section. Go check it out.

I held off for about 2 months and then I couldn't keep it out of my head any longer. Just buy one. You won't be disappointed. Here's another pic with its younger twin from today. 

Yeah, I pulled the trigger...

Haha yeah that's me.  I grabbed another SV103 today and some hedgehog parts for a steal. We worked out a deal so he could keep the handle and drag star since I have that stuff extra. *owners picture

I want to post my rod/reel collection but every time I try to take good pictures they come out awful.  I think I need to wait for a nice sunny day, but then why spend it indoors?

 

In any case I am kinda shocked at what I have accumulated in three short years and I should get some pictures for my insurance in any case.

When I first started building rods I learned how hard it is to take good pictures of them.  Natural light on a bright day will probably produce the best pics.

Good lighting and angles are the key to good photos. Unless I'm trying to sell something I don't put too much effort into it anymore.

803S JWR  With a Stradic FJ 2500

How do you like your E6X Jig and Worm rod? I just pulled the trigger on the 7'1" version (see above although I don't have mine next to a nice bass yet lol)

It's easily my favorite and most versatile rod.I use it to fish for saugeye and smallies in the Great Miami

and also for largemouth in local gravel pits and ponds.

I picked up an 852S a few months ago for 140.00 at a Field And Stream store.I used it once,Throwing tubes while fishing a gravel pit.I found it very light and responsive and it balanced well with a Saros 2500.

thanks

 

All cleaned, shined and polished!

Thanks! Man, I love this rod haha

Just a quick shot on the side of the river testing out my new rod Dobyns Sierra 703. This rod is easily one of the best balanced rods I have fished and the most sensitive that I have fished in the $200 price point. So very glad I took a chance on this rod.

 

Here are the two rods I have up at school with me. On top is a 6'2" avid with a lews tourney pro and on the bottom is one of walleye, crappie, and finese rods. A 6'6" Light Poison Adrena with a 1000 CI4+. Just about everything is opened up around here and then tonight we got snow and cold...bring on the spring!

I bet just about everything caught on that little spinning set up is a blast.
