I have the same rod and I used it for flippin quite often it's a steal for $90 bucks. It handles braid fine 65lb to be exact and is made from St. Croix. I love mine and wouldn't have it any other way !!!

I joined the forums not too long ago, I was pretty new at bass fishing. I new how to fish a rubber worm and that was all. The jig n pig I had no idea what it was about. I bought 12 jigs from G-Man about a year and half ago. They have been fished 10 times at most. I fished them with all difference types of trailers as well. 0 fish I never understood until today.I fished G-Man football jig w/ a Zoom Speed Craw Okeechobee trailer. Black and Blue and finally landed a nice fish, biggest of this year on it. It is also my first fish on my St. Croix 7' HF Mojo Bass rod and a Quantum Accurist PT. Both performed flawless, also on 65lb Sufix Braid. Thanks to RW for the jig help and G-Man for a quality Jig. She went a mean 3 lbs 6 ozs. And was nice to land. Sorry Camera Phone Pics....

7'0 St. Croix Mojo Slop N Frog Quantum Accurist 7.0:1 50lb Sufix Perfomance Braid Spro Bonzeye and BPS Humpin Toads Have yet to catch a bass this year on this setup from a frog, still waiting on # 1 !!!

I think you guys missed this....definitely the problem. You can't just bury the hook in the blunt end of the Ika; there is no way for the hook to pop out and stick the fish's mouth when you set the hook. You need to tex-pose it normally....in one side and out the other. Your exactly right, when I set the hook I just had that feeling that the hook was buried down in the blunt end of the Ika. I will texpose the hook next time and see what I can do. Thanks man.

By far the most effective bait that I used today, but was having trouble setting the hook. I did hook it backwards, but i just stuck the hook through the start of the Ika. Is that correct? and what is a good /0 hook for these baits, RW if your out there can you please help. Or anyone with Ika experience. What a great bait !!

Ebay is by far the best place. I got the 09 Quantum Catalyst for $79 NIB and the Energy PT 09 for $ 118. You have to be patient and you'll get a great deal.

So far I've tried using Spiderwire 100% & Yo Zuri Hybrid fluorocarbons. And I've noticed they are not the easiest in the world to cast. I was wondering if Trilene 100% was a good one to try or if you know of a good one that has worked for you let me in on it. Using a 09 Energy PT Burner on a Kistler MAG TS 6'9" for worm fishing. Thanks for all your help,

I just bought a Kistler Mag TS 6'9" and I'm quite impressed. It has great sensitivity and looks and feels great. I have to get used to the no foregrip but other than that money well spent.

Yeah I've been without a rod for about a week now so I gave up on ebay for a rod. I ended up getting the Kistler Magnesium 6'9" MH. I did however find the new Quantum Energy Baitcaster for $ 118 !!! That was a heck of a deal. I just hope I don't break the kistler, there exchance/warranty/prorated plan looks shady. I now have two mojos and a kistler. Next time I upgrade I'm look at Powell,Custom, and possibly the Legend Tournment by Croix. Take care thanks again,

I bought three when they were on sale at BPS a couple months back. It's a nice reel. I've had no problems. I've loaded them down w/ braid, flucarbon, and mono. NO problems at all, the flippin switch is nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy they are a nice starter reel.

Carrot Stick 69 LTX vs Kistler 69 Magnesium LTA I would get an Avid but can't find a 66MHF in stock anywhere and in my price range of $ 150. Also is the Kistler lighter than the 7 ft Mojo? Thanks

I was contemplating picking one up escepecially in the HS, do you guys think they are better than the new Quantum Engerg PTs? I have the Catalyst PT and I absolutely love it. Just wondering, sounds like a good deal. Make sure you click on clearance then fishing, if you select fishing first they won't be listed.

Thanks for all your help, Dan I plan on using it for shore fishing where there is a lot of trees around, and I love to fish worms, creature baits, anything weightless or a small texas rig. I need more help deciding, b/w Carrot Stix, Avid, G.Loomis Mossyback 803, Powell Max..or suggest others please

Which do you think is better investment? You can suggest a little higher priced one if you think it's worth it. I like the Carrot Stix Gold, Kistler TS, and others in this price range, but the Energy PT and Mojo look enticing.

I am pairing this with a Quantum Accurist PT and I had it on a 7' M pole and it was horrible. I'm looking for a good 6'6" MH Rod that is around $120 bucks and is proven to be a good rod. Thanks,

I have the 8e version of the Pelican Bass Radier boats. I was in the market for a fish finder. Any suggestions on one that will work well? If you have one for sell that will work too.

I bought this last week for $400 bucks, He bought it new 3 months ago all of it at Gander Mountain for $700 bucks plus the accessories. Brand new fished once, it's the 8e version prewires for a trolling motor or fish finder. Came w/seats, brand new Minn Kota 30lb Endura Trolling motor and HD24-DP Interstate Deep Well Battery, brand new as well. Checkout your local craigslist for a deal. I am a big guy too, 6'5" 280lbs. This thing works great. I take out one seat and set in middle and it works great. I just need a trailer now. I know you can buy those haulmaster trailer kits for cheap, but I would love to find a local deal. All i bought to finish it off was a battery charger, anchor, rope, and emergency paddle. That's it. Good luck with the 10e. Any got any mods they've done? I need some light mods, and possibly some tackle storage, and maybe rod holders. Thanks

I have a deep cycle marine Trolling Motor Battery and I'm looking to get a charger. I was wondering if I could get recommendations on which is best/best value for the buck/cheapest. I would appreciate it !!! Also I need one that plugs into a regular outlet not an onboard charger.

Thank you very much for the links, I appreciate it !!!

I have a Revo S I used last year and I was wondering if anyone could help post an exploded view of the reel torn apart, or if they had any pictures that would helpful, if you could post anything that would be good. I don't want to jeopardize the reel by taking it apart. Thanks,

I beg to differ on this point of few. I've had Avids, Premier's, Triumphs and now the Mojos. I think they are a steal for $90. Nice balance, light and cheap. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's not good. I'm not disappointed and I don't think you will be either, I don't know if they have a shakey head rod yet. Good luck,

I can't wait to get out and try mine out as well.

I wish they offered the Curado in a 6.4:1 oh well

Wow, kids for sure

The excitement of catching something and trying different stuff out, I love the great outdoors.
