Before you go to bass pro, check online at any sales they have and print the page for the items you're interested in. If it's not on sale in the store they'll mark it to the online price at customer service. the pfleuger president is a good choice with the fenwick eagle gt series 6'6 M/F as muddy said. I just recently got both for a friend as a gift and debating keeping them. I'd go with yo-zuri hybrid ultra soft 8lb line. if you've got the cash left over. I've been happy with cabelas pro line to. you get about 1200 yards for 8 bucks and if you don't like it they take back the whole spool, no questions asked.

so, would you buy it and put it on your boat for $250?

I think that apology is pretty cool. I respect that.

True. Neither did this guy. He inherited it from daddy.

I have one on a 7' M/H fast st. croix avid for spinnerbaits. Another on a 7' M moderate st. croix premier glass for cranks. The bulge in the avid rod handle fits well with the small profile of the revo.

I have a love hate relationship with bassresource.com I have alot more stuff and look like I know what I'm doing, but I find that I have nary a pot to P**s in nor a window to throw it from the longer I stay on this site. After this thread I bought an SC, and then just had to get an SX the same day. The two best reels I've ever purchased. The best before that was a browning midas. Still a good reel, but the Abu's have just the right size to fish with all day.

Motor Guide Great White Competition Series model with 62 lbs of Thrust. 24V. Gator bow mount. Hey guys, What do you think are the pro's cons of this unit on an 18' Nitro 700LX? I don't know the exact shaft length off hand. Anyone heard of the crossover capabilities of a saltwater series used in freshwater? Doesn't seem like it would matter to me. Anyone have any exprience with these?

I've got a St Croix Premier glass 7' M/M and the blank is big around also.

You guys should just throw hands . Although, the witty banter is entertaining. sorry your post got hijacked justfishin. It looks like the only thing more fragile than your Gloomis is an ego.

I got my hands on some of the Sufix DNA copolymer and thought I'd do a small write-up. I used the 17lb lemon-green line. I'm pretty sure that it's called either DNA or Promix depending on where and when you get it, but I don't think that it's been officially released to the market yet. Overall, I'd say that it's the best co-polymer line I've ever personally used. I spooled the line two weeks ago so that if it was going to coil it had some time. True to the other Sufix lines it has no memory to speak of. I tossed a lipless crank today for four hours along rocky banks and didn't need to re-tie once. I checked the line about every ten casts or so to see how it held up. I also hooked a 7lb flat-head and it's sandpaper-like jaw bone only caused a few knicks in the line. I was really impressed. I'm not sold completely on the yellow-green color of the line, but the water I fished was stained so it appeared to blend in well. It's good stuff. I don't know how you could go about getting some other than on-line, but if you come across it I'd recommend it.

A buddy and I are building 6" PVC rod cases to tie onto ladder racks for when we haul the boat and gear some distance. I've got a crew cab canyon and the bed is too short for rods. I'm curious about any creative methods or cool accessories that you use to haul your gear.

Another for the Revo STX.

the stretch of mono helps with hooksets on treble hook lures, as well as the fight in general. You could get away with fluoro but braid has no stretch and may cause you to pull the hooks out.

One more for fiberglass. I think that it transmits the wobble of a crank better in my hand along with the other benefits. Some guys on here use them for all the treble hook baits and spinners. I only use mine for cranks. I've heard a lot of good things about the crankin' sticks at bass pro by the way. I think they run $30-$40.

hey man, you said you asked and they other models wer'nt on sale. Just a suggestion but have it scanned. I ended up with a premier and two avids, all on sale. The staff did'nt know they were marked down. On another occasion, I called to ask about an abu revo and the guy said they were'nt on sale, so I asked about the avids. Again he said "no" and got annoyed. > I asked him to scan all of the items and it turned out that the avids were marked down. It was hard for him to say the price with his foot in his mouth though.

Scenario: I'm going to a small private community lake that is only about 30' deep in it's deepest points. It has no real visible vegetation, no standing cover, and a lot of docks. The south side is steep vertical rocky drop offs, while the north is mostly muddy flats. The west side is a rip-rap dam. The average depth in the coves is about 10-13 feet. There isn't much deep water cover other than a few man-made crappie beds. The water is usually stained and the air temp has been around 90*. There's medium sized shad, and a lot of crawdads. What tackle would you take? My buddy says they've gotten skunked on just about everything lately. :-/

I had'nt fished senkos ever until I found the forum. Being that I spend ocassionally and usually only buy stuff on sale, I throw senko's with a 7' M action fast tip croix premier and have a browning midas baitcast. It's worked well for me.

all-star instinct 6'6 M fast action line wt. 8-17 lure 1/4-5/8 st croix triumph 7' M/H fast action line wt 10-20 lure 3/8-1 both are trigger rods

hey bro, I carry a gun 4-5 days a week. It's a requirement for what I do. Some things that some of the other guys didn't bring up. If you have that gun and the situation dictates that you're in close quarters you need to be able to retain that thing in a hand-to-hand situation, provided you don't have a carrying method that incorporates some kind of retention of it's own. Once you pull it, you better be 100% sure that the next thing you do with it is kill someone. If you're not a fighter, and you lose that gun to your attacker they will use it on you. I've pointed a gun at people with the intention of pulling the trigger and it's different than what you think it may be like. When you're in that situation everything else about life goes out the window. Just know that once you introduce it into your encounter very rarely can you de-escalate from there as a civilian. Lastly, the best shooters have around a 70% hit rate in high-stress situations so know that if you qualify as a 100% shooter, which is rare, you're only going to hit your mark 7 out of 10 times or less when you're scared for your life. You'll need to account for the other 3 bullets that are going somewhere else also. Statistically, most situations involve 3 shots from 10-15' feet, so you may not hit them at all. Just because you shoot someone does'nt mean that your fights over either. I saw a guy this week who was shot 5 times and is still alive right now, he ran three blocks after he was shot also. In my opinon, buy a dog.

I just bought a couple of avids. Now I have two rods that have been replaced. The upside is that this gives me an excuse to buy two new reels. Probably revo sx's. The thing I'm unsure about is what should I set them up for? So, what lures do you guys think I should set these rods up for given the charecteristics: cranks, spinners, t-rigging, general purpose, etc? Help me make up my mind. all star instinct 6'6 M croix triumph 7' m/h

roadwarrior thanks for the link. That's a really good write-up. I've been to 2 locations and bought st. croix's on sale at both of them. Both times the rods were half price or better, had'nt been marked down, and the staff did'nt know they were on sale either. Additionally, when the sales guy used the hand-held price scanner thing it showed that the rods were slightly more than the price they rang up at. For example, the avids were 99.97 when scanned, but rang up as 74.98. There may be other items on sale that have'nt been marked, but certainly find what you want, take it to the register and have them scan it. Don't just write it off if it does'nt have a sale sticker on it. Do however continue to post if you find out that other items are on sale so that we can all get in on it.

I was at the dicks at town center in leawood, kansas. It's a very big store so the selection is good. Is there a link to a thread that discusses the ideal uses for vavrious action and strength of rods, (i.e. 6'6 - 7' M/H for spinnerbaits, 7' ML for dropshot, etc.)? If so could someone post it as a reply? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, this is my first post. I've been reading the forums for awhile but had'nt registered as a member until today. After seeing all the recent posts about the good avid deals I went to dicks today and scored two avid series rods for $75 a piece! Here's my question: Listing all my components can you guys help me match everything up so that I have all my bases covered? All rods/reels are casting. reels: Abu 5600cb quantum e500cp (it's 12 years old, but I love it and it works) quantum accurist pt browning midas pfleuger echelon rods: triumph 7' M/H all-star instinct 6'6 M BPS extreme 7' M/H premier glass 7' M premier 7' M Avid 7' M/H Avid 7' M basically I just want some input on what to match up with what so that I know what two rods to sell. Also, If someone is looking to get rid of a revo sx, then I'd have part of my problem solved. Thanks guys.
