Those are nice! Is that an old MagLite?

Those are Team Pro, Team Red, and Team LITE.

The old one on top is a BB1 LMG

New swimbait/inshore reel

sweet setup!

Fresh start for 2015. I've had the SX and a couple of the Abu rods, but everything else is brand new.

Ahhh this is sweet! 

They should call those Pixar's.

And I want one.

Lol I really didn't have much more than some yard casting with the first one I got for Christmas, and I told myself I have to get another one. Then they ran out and I had been trying to find one for the same $300 price and I did on TT. I ordered some os7's for one of them yesterday. Can't wait to try them out as these will be my first!!

The Brown truck stopped again Today.

you didn't have the ipilot before?

Yes but that one is the Link!

I hadn't fished my Calais DC in a few years so today I decided to break it back out. Sadly I didn't catch a fish on this set up today but it was fun just having it back on the water.

 

I have always liked to travel lite, on a trip or going fishing. I tell my buddies to leave their tackle box at home, bring their favorite rod, and bring something to eat and drink as I also bring a cooler and ice. We fish with wild shiners 99% of the time so I don't take along a tackle box. I rig three 7' MH Berkley rods with three Abu Garcia bait casters spooled with #40 braided, tied to a 5/0 bait hook. I usually use just one rod on a trip and sometimes a buddy will use one of mine. That gives us one spare. Sometimes I'll use a float and sometimes I'll free-line. Here's my stuff in my boat . . .first photo -- Three rods, second photo -- hooks and pliers at the ready, third photo -- Floats, digital scale, tape measure, and line cutter.

Got my Metanium 13 tuned and installed with some color parts and KTF spool. Pretty happy that it casts 1/8oz jigs 24 meters. Not chocolate, but much sweeter

Slick Metanium, where did you get that red piece between the frame and the drag star?

I sent you a link.

Nice! ^

Is that the new River Runner? If so, how is it?

It sure is! Just got it in yesterday. I cant comment a whole lot as i haven't caught anything on it yet and only made a handful of casts with a 1/16oz jig but it is similar to the previous model.  Copied and pasted from my post on another forum. ..

 

 

All in all im very pleased with it so far. A couple minor cosmetic things i dont like, like that bar code. Really? They could of put that on a sticker or tag instead of printed on the blank. Also the River Runner text could of been a bit more elegant like the lettering they used for the specifications. 

 

Otherwise, the connection is solid, action is true to its rating, real seat is secure and i do like the carbon? rings they added but i do prefer the grip of the previous model. Not that this new one is bad at all, the old just felt more comfortable, imo.

 

Old model for reference.

I really want one of those now... I'm going to a fishing show in a few minutes so I might end up getting one. Ultralights are easily my favorite way to fish.
