X2 on sunline. Its all I use now. The super is great and is only 15 bucks for 200 yards!!

flipping and pitching is like peanut butter and jam.they go well together but the are completly different. i like a rod over 7 feet for flipping,and 6'10 to 7'2 for pitching. i have tried using rods up to 8 feet to see if it helps get more distance(pitching),to me i gain nothing.i can pitch up to 30 feet smoothly with my 6'3 heavy fast cumara,and i cant seem to get further with a longer rod. so to me i use rods in the 7 foot range.balance is way better and their lighter. just make sure it has a bit of tip to it,as it wont wear you at as fast.

i think you would need a 4 power rod. 3/4 will be too much for this rod imo.i think youre better off with casting gear at that weight.i have used 1/2 with this rod 803 glx and it was ,,,,ok.3/8 plus tube would be about perfect i think. i did end up selling this rod,and i bought it for tubes too.

steezy im a lefty so i have them all too.guess it costs more being a righty ;D i do with they made a 7:1 for leftys though :'(

never used the 10lbs,buti really like my 16lbs.has lasted 2 years on my bcr803 and core51 combo.use it for trigs.great sensitivity,very low streach.has a little more memory then some,but thats the trade off for tough no stretch line.i would try it if your ok with green as the dont offer a clear.i hope they come out with one id buy it in a sec. also dont use this for a spinning reel,baitcasting ony with this line.and spray it with line conditioner.

1/4oz id go with the 103.i have both.once you get to about 1/2oz i switch to the 100.

Ci4 and a cumara mf is my smallie rod.

i have a 1998 zx176c its 17.5 with a 150. its the boat i wanted.big enough for 90% of the fishing i do and small enough to get into thhose tight spots.i wanted a skeeter over a ranger.everyone is different.i think you will love it.the make great boats. GO skeeter:)

You should move this to the "general bass fishing forum" And yes,snow sucks!

i use one pin on my core 101 since new.it can cast a frog on 50LBS braid to the moon.i could also skip and pitch under trees without having to move pins around.so yes you can use one pin.on some of my other shimanos i use two or three.i think your line plays a role in this too.

i used a core three years ago for a season.for the last two years i have been using a steez 100 for my frog fishin.i couldnt use anything else now.frog fishing is my fav way to fish.so i tried all different reels to find the "one" for me. steez wins,holds up fine.tough little reel and well make you smile how far it will launch a spro. i liked the core and i think it casted as far,just not as smooth and it wasnt as comfortable to hold all day. big hands go core smaller hands go steez.

bantam,i have a BCR 803 GLX ranger rod.would this be allowed in the xpeditor program?would you count it as a regular BCR803?its my favorite rod had for a while and still going strong.just wondering,thanks

I think I have seen that lake before. If I remember right it's call ullnvrno lake

The GLX BCR803 is my go to rod. I love it. Can't wait to hear the differences between them.

you will be happy with the rod for about 90% of you bass fishing near cover.great rod! i use an 843.little longer same power.
