Anyone know of a business that I can still purchase a NIB Stradic 2500 FJ ?? Just not sold on the 2500 FK as of yet. Thanks, RT

I have very little experience using the YoZuri hybird but have tried the Ultra Soft a few years back in 8#. Liked it alot of the little time trying it. Thanks

I go to TW and see where they list YoZuri Hybird line for sale but not the Ultra Soft. Anyone know please. RT

Don't post much, just do a lot of looking but the o rings work well. Go to Lowes back in plumbing and the box that I get I think contains 10 of them. Size 6 The brand name is "Danco." It is a white/aqua blue colored package. Hope this helps you guys. RT I fish 4" and 5" Senkos with them.

Moderators....sorry I goofed on hijacking a complete other thread asking my ?? MOve it if you want to. I realized it after I posted. RT

I have purchased an American Rodsmiths pitching rod. The specifications are Marty Stone "Pitching Rod", 6-10"long, Heavy power, fast action, 10-20# line and 1/4-5/8 oz lures. Also the rod is a H-3 Titanium series and it has titanium framed, sic guides and the blank says 87 million modulus graphite. It also list on the label that the blank has some carbon and titatium added for strength. Course me not being a rodmaker I don't have the slightest clue if this is just a selling gimmick or not. The regular price is $219 and I found it on sale for $149. I got a few questions and am hoping someone that has experience in using this can give me imput. I can find very little info about these rods on the web and am wondering if I should keep it or not. I got it to flip and pitch with and whatever other technique that it would do a relative good job at doing. I have a friend that let me use his 7-6", L904 loomis, gls granite flipping/pitching rod and have found out first-hand that a 7-6" rod length is not too long for my liking or comfort of handling it. Are American Rodsmiths rods good? How durable (graphite) are the H-3? If anyone out there has used these kind of rods or has experience with these H-3's, then I sure would appreiciate any info. I'm just trying to get into doing some flipping/pitching, course I think I would be doing more pitching than flipping and wondered if I would be better going with a longer rod. Last, after showing it to a well-known bass fishing specific rod builder his comment was that "it has no tip" meaning that the tip is not a flexing as a Loomis L904. So, by what he is telling me do you guys that flip and pitch alot do you want a flex in the tip of the rod to "projectile" the jig or lure under bushes and cover??? I know that I can get a custom built L904, one piece from this builder for approximately $159 and I paid $149 on sale for the American Rodsmiths. Fire away I need to make a decesion on what to do.

5bl, I understand about what you said. But I think I may quite be the same person that it keeps referring to that has the same name already in use. Actually, I have registered ok, it is just that I want to customize my own password and go back in to edite my profile that when I enter my user id and displalyed name that I have difficulity. I've been a member of quite a number of fishing message boards especially saltwater ones and maybe I am forgetting something so obvious that I am overlooking something right in front of me. I posted last week as a "test" message and went back in and deleted my post, so by that I am already registered and logged in in order to do that, but I seem to have the problem when I want to custom my password to exactly what I want.

I am having trouble with displaying the name I want to show up on the message forums and resetting my password. I keep receiving the message that another member has that name/already in use. Could an administrator or moderator please contact me at reelturner@rtelco.net. I have worked on this for 3+ hours. I was unable to send a PM because I had 0 posts. Thank you in advance for your help and time! Arthur Moody
