I love Invizx!!

Good luck and enjoy...let us know whay you think.

Another Carbonlite...they are fine rods for that price, just sounds like you got a bad one.

You need to try a Carbonlite. 7' MM is tough to beat. I prefer it over the Avid, but I have not fished the Lamiglas 705, though I plan on getting one soon.

What kind of Abu reel? If its a Revo series and both the rod and reel are in good working shape I say jump on it. You wont be able to find that kinda quality by buying new.

Also a 7' MM Carbonlite is one heck of a CB stick for $100.

I've been excited since Feb. 1st . We just got a 10 acre pond drained and are planting brown top millet and corn in it and planting soybeans in a field and are going to flood them for the 1st time this year. Should be fun. We kill a ton of ducks, but they are 80% Gadwalls, so flooded fields should add some more species in there for us.

Cool man sounds like you got some rough boys. I think they are more fun that way.

The Packers are going to be stout again. The Saints look like they can make a run again. The Eagles have potential to be good. The Pats will be good. Ravens and Steelers are both proven winners. Should make for a fun season. I'll be suprised if the Cowboys win 9 games this year.

Congrats bro...Im glad everything went good and everyone is healthy. Looks like you got o-lineman and a d-lineman at those weights.

Agreed...its almost as if you are punished for purchasing more items. I know that the more you buy, the more shipping rates are, but if smaller companies such as TW and BTD can do it, then I dont see why BPS and Cabelas cant cut shipping costs. I wanted to order the Dobyns Champion Elite rod on sale yesterday, but once you added taxes and shipping it was more than what I can get it for at TW on Black Friday so I held off.

Why? I've never heard anything bad about shooting them before.

Look into the Powell Max Crankbait rods. They offer both glass and graphite and both are great CB rods!

Yeah, it doesnt happen often, but as much as we shoot it, it does occur. The .223 is really accurate up to about 600 yards. I got a 24x scope on it and I can hit the speed limit sign on the road from my house, which is about 1/2 a mile . I did catch the woods on fire once shooting tracers through it too. The box said it was impossible to start a fire, but we sure proved them wrong.

Strike King for Rage products and they sell all types of lures. Topwater, cranks, spoons, plastics, jigs, spinnerbaits, ect.

Thats some nice fish. As for a boat, I would save enough money to buy a 2000's model boat that has enough storage for your stuff, good electronics, and a motor that will push the boat without problem. THere is nothing worse than an underpowered boat. You could get all of these things for around 5k for a tin or 7k for a fiberglass. Start saving now and hopefully in not too long you can afford to buy one. Also, dont rush into it. Look around and make sure you buy what YOU want.

Welcome to the Forums. There are a lot of great people here who can and will help you out and there is a ton of great info here. You may want to ask this question under the Local Fishing Forums for a quicker reply.

Never fished with a Duckett but I have played with em in the store. They feel good, but man they are ugly. I also own 2 Powells that I like alot, but Im looking for something a step above the Endurance series.

Seasonal pattern and time of day would factor into location. I dont care what time of day or seasonal pattern it is, just put me in a place that the fish are and I will figure it out from there.

Like I said, they will catch smaller bass, but they primarily targer bigger ones. For smaller fish throw things such as worms, craws, beavers, or lizards.

A Senko!!!! But seriously, mine would be a Rage Craw. Can t-rig it, swim it with a keel weighted hook, fish it on top like a toad, ect. Its very versitale and I have a ton of confidence in that little thing.

Jigs can and will catch small fish, but a 6" lizard will probably catch more of em.

I agree. If people werent always lookin for a loop hole to get stuff and wouldnt lie about things, it would be much easier and hassle free, but in this case, it was a BPS rod. No doubt it came from them because no one else sells the BPS Crankin Stick.

1. Location 2. Bait 3. Presentation 4. Color 5. Time of Day Location has to be first because if there are no fish where you are fishing, you aint catching anything, no matter what else you do. Then I chose bait over presentation because I feel I need the right bait selection before presenting it to the fish. I think if fish are suspended at 20 ft in 60 fow then a Manns Baby 1- probably aint gonna cut it. First you must select a bait that will get into the strike zone, then present it in such a way that they will bite it. Lastly, Color and Time of Day. Neither matter too much. Color is about 5% of the equation most of the time. Sometimes they can be picky, but the difference between red flake and purple flake is minor. Obviously, dawn and dusk produce better than high noon consistantly (not saying always), but whatever Time of Day it is, you cant change it so adjust everything else to catch fish whenever you are on the water.

Ive never fished the GL2 before but I do own a Savvy 734 and it is a sweet rod for the price. The rod is super light, sensitive, and balances well. Buy one...I know youll fall in love.
