Good snook tackle there.  Did you catch the one on your avatar near Big O?  By the locks?

No sir. Caught that one off the jetty in Ft. Pierce.

Oh my God Mr. Francho....Shimano's and Daiwa's are, are touching........

 

I'm sure you would'nt pile customers reels

 

Hes hoping they mate and make a hybrid super reel.

In the middle of all this tackle porn someone was bound to have a reel orgy sooner or later.

Yes my hate for all things Shimano has gone that far....

Sad, so sad......lol

Loving my new combo, 6'3 medium cumara reaction rod, curado 51e with hawgtech handle. Putting some braid on right now. Cant wait till next week when my core 51 comes in, ill have pics with it on a 6'5 cumulus

Sweet....Would be interested in your opinion of the Core.

Well ive only handled a core twice. Ive had a curado before so i knew what i was expecting picking up this 51e. If the core performs better than this reel, and is almost 1.5oz's lighter i think im going to love it, lol.

 

I spooled this up with 8lb mono then switched to 20lb super slick braid and my casting distance dropped immensely. I think im putting mono back on...

Nice rigs........Like that 802C.

 

Thanks. 

 

It is a sweet stick.  I usually have either a grub or shakey head tied on.

gone phishin, how do you like that kistler helium i just got the same one for this year for cranking

I generally use it for shallow-med balsa and plastic baits.  It does a fine job of handling these lures, as it is a pretty soft fishing rod.  It does have some backbone, so it's not a buggy whip, though it wouldn't be the first stick I grabbed if fishing around cover...it's much more suited for open water.

 

I am eventually going to replace this stick, the only reason being I prefer full grips for cranking.

 

I hope this helps.

nice sounds good i think im really going to like it 

These aren't mine, but they're all sparkly clean.....and FAST.

 

The shimano bait monkey bit me hard this month, a 6'5 medium cumulus, a 6'3 medium cumara, core 51e, chronarch 51e and curado 51 e...

 

Core is going on the cumulus, now i gotta figure chronarch or curado on the cumara...

 

I love this freakin' thread!

Very nice hooligan! Congrats!
