Tons of pike here also I just run straight 50# power pro haven't had a pike bite off yet.

My veritas and Revo premier 20 balance well and is very light but I'm running a 6'9" rod. Same rod with the Ci4 2500 also very very light and well balanced.

Not getting the bullet out John

Black and blue football jig Dragged slow or short hops

Jerk bait, a spinner bait, jig

I'm not one for doctors a d like to tuff things out but the old timers(sorry guys lol) are right man time to go see the doc and stop lifting till cleared.

Iv been catching trout and northerns lately no bass of yet but I haven't tried to much I will BR this week. In the past the tickets always been red craw colored lip less cranks, jigs, rebel wee craw I think it's called, slooooooow spinners in fire tiger or red craw patterns, jerk baits in perch and trout colors.

Yup or eBay I just picked up a Abu villain rod for 95 shipped from the flea market and a 3rd gen STX on eBay for 142. I checked eBay yesterday there was a 3rd gen Revo S for 89.99 BIN with free shipping I woulda jumped on it if I wasn't broke. I'd keep checking the flea market and eBay though you can get some killer deals

Yeah id go for the kayak also

Glenn arnt we over due for a upgrade for all of us to adjust to lol. Wasn't it last winter you made the big change over.

Yeah I never met him but I did like him he PM'd me some when I was in the hospital and when going threw the divorce also. He was a good guy and I found his pro shimano posts entertaining.

Arnt Pfluegers made by the same company ad Revo and lews also? My first bait caster was a Pflueger echlon I still have it I should clean her up it was a good reel it has taken one heck of a beating it looks rough. My quantums I wish I could say the same they have all broke in less then a season still have that pile of reels also none work right but still look brand new. My echlon looks like it's been threw a woodchipper and spent a year at the bottom of the lake but still works great.

I actually had to pry a commen out of him a few weeks ago lol

that's what made me think about it one of the biggest offenders hasn't been around................

Mine would be football head jigs though now I am liking the alien/brush head I haven't fished it it just looks sick I got a whole box of em.

Ya know iv been eye balling some of the pinnacle spinning reels they look sharp.

Original for me also goes every where with me doubles as a great lip balm for cold windy days............

I have both also but my revos greatly out number my shimanos. 2 S, 1 SX, 2 STX, 1 Premier spinning, 1 stradic Ci4, 1 Citica.

Is it just me or has the shimano posse been laying low? It seems there are far more Abu guys now. I remember when it was nothing but the posse ganging up bashing te few Abu guys and now it seems like it's mostly Abu and the shimano guys are keeping quiet.......

I only had to dig an extra 50 for mine but that was on eBay I got both STXs for less then 150 a piece!! I kinda want to replace my 1st gen S's with 3rd so they match the veritas better

What do you guys use on your shaky heads? I want to do more finesse fishing this year a iv stocked up on tons of shaky heads. Iv used them in the past with rage baby craws with really good success on smallmouth. I feel that's not really finesse with all the thump of a rage bait.

Two that haven't been mentioned and are favorites of mine is to nose hook them on like a flick shake head and twitch them kinda Miletus jackall iShad but much cheaper ad more effective iv found. Secondy on a swim jig I tie a 18"-24" leader to the swim jig then put the fluke in the back rigged like you would rig it weightless just with the jig out front. Iv tried it on regular bottom contact jigs as well as the swim jig both ways caught fish on the fluke "chasing" the jig.

I think they sell more of the S model is because it looks so d**n sexy on the veritas. My STX looks ok on the veritas and well all know it's mostly bout how good our combos look lol.

I have 2 first gen Revo S reels and love em I just picked up 2 third gen Revo stx I haven't fished them yet but will this weekend I'll be able to conpare side by side then.

Is it a setting on my profile or something on the server side. I keep getting thrown off with the posts being a hour behind
