Tatsu is some great stuff! Problem is is that I have to save my pennies to be able to afford it! LOL

They say if you are doing a job that you love, then it's not work!

FedEx is usually around $30.00 for a 7' rod and if IIRC, the USPS was about the same but that was years ago.

Thanks for the tip! I just bought a six pack of the 1/8oz weights. I have bought Tungsten Bullet Weights on eBay before but right now, they were not on a my radar. But $25.00 for 24 weights is a good deal any day.

Duck Tape! JK

The technology may be the same 4 or 5 years down the road but if it doesn't say Stella, it's not a Stella.

I still haven't bought the Daiwa yet, but I did learn how to spell Daiwa since this Thread was started and many other things. In the near future, I will be down sizing a bit and if I keep my MBR842, I may get a Daiwa for it to throw weightless plastics.

If you can't afford more than one rod n reel, don't worry about it cause it ain't no big deal. I did a lot of fishing as a kid with one rod n reel and I was content with what I had back then. If you can afford a different combo for every technique, that is nice too but it's definitely not necessary. The best thing that you can do is to buy a decent to good quality 6'6" to 7' MH/F rod and a Shimano reel and go with that.

Remember when you only owned one combo and you referred to as your rod n reel.

Thanks!

Sounds like you need another green NRX!

It's like Loomis had the CU50E in mind when they made the green NRX. It's a shame that they quit making it and I am still kicking myself in the butt for selling mine!

You gotta love upgrades by Avail! I know I do!

Help me out please! What is a 13 archangel? ***?

I'll bet a gold Conquest 100 would look great on the green 7' MH Crankbait Crucial!

Not saying this is your problem, but it's amazing how much affect dirty spool bearings can have have on your ability to cast lures, especially lighter ones.

Where I am from we would ask 'did you put it back on crooked'?

I'm looking for a cheap flippin rod. I hope it's black or a shade of red with a cork handle.

Any idea what color the Clarus will be?

More distance. I use my Antares HG with 1 brake on and it's a noticeable gain compared to when using 2 brakes. I can't use 1 brake on with all of my reels but with the Antares HG it's not a problem.

Bantam 1 says not likely but he has been misinformed (kept out of the loop) before so let's hope that is the case this time.

1-2 Centrifigal brakes on depending on the rod and lure.
