Diggy

They seemed very nice in person, they greeted me politely. They had 3 sizes on display and 3 total. The med light rod felt like a feather

The employee at BPS had no idea what I was talking about lol. Now he knows about them

I saw a kid on youtube showing off his broken Veritas and someone from Abu reached out to him and replaced it free of charge How are the microguide versions if anyone knows, no hijack

I miss the ernge color

oh no you didnt

Saw on the BPS site- other new stuff added as well Dual-helical bias 30 ton plus graphite blank Unsanded blank for maximum strength retention Airweight resin-filled blank Fuji® Alconite® micro guides The sleek, super-strong, and extra-light Wild Black rods now feature the elimination of decorative coatings, plus new assembly systems for a total of 8 grams removed—resulting in a 10% overall reduction in weight. For even more efficiency, the labels have been moved to the handle blank! The dual-helical bias 30 ton plus graphite blank gives maximum sensitivity and unparalleled balance; the blank is also unsanded for maximum strength retention, and filled with an airweight resin that has three-times the modulus of the coating. Fuji® Alconite® micro guides are spaced for the most efficient casts and a profound sense of feel.

For anyone interested, I always see love/hate for the black and yellow, not sure if its mix & match @Dick's Sporting Goods in store

Couldnt you buy the over the counter warranty from gander?

which rods do you think are light in this range

I did not eat, came out of a nasty canal behind some mechanic/paint shops..water is probably toxic

Wonder when theyll go on sale, hopefully before xmas

Sounds like I must then create one, thanks

Just interested. Rather than clicking every reel on tackle warehouse, bps or going to manufacturer sites. Thanks

Picked up this reel at Dick's today...not bought, messed with the display Reel was light and smooth, Pickedup a revo after and it felt like a brick. I was amazed how nice this reel felt

ot the new extreme is on the site and it has a DBS and is 7.2 oz down from 8.6/8 79.99

I prefer lefty reels but I can use either. I may pick up the 7 ratio version in righty since thats the only one they sell in that ratio. We will see what happens at xmas time, I may get both

You can probably find a citica for a little more($75) as I did. Check in the market/ebay or get something from bps(lots of deals) I bought a pinnacle from Walmart to start out. I spent more time clearing backlashes and birds nests than fishing some days. My advice, spend a little more and enjoy more time fishing. I thought Id start cheap and learn to fish one, spinning reel yes, baitcast reels maybe not(especially for lighter baits).

Do you like the Carbonlite reels alot? Im in the market for a new reel and I may pick one of these up and possibly the regular one for my friend

On the site but not ready to ship yet, comes in l+R 6.4:1 in Left and 5.4,6.4,7.1 in right Weighs just 5.9 ounces One-piece machined aircraft-grade frame Duralumin gears and shaft V-grooved, ported, machined Duralumin spool 10 stainless steel, double-shielded ball bearings Dual Braking System™ Titanium nitride-coated line guide Carbon fiber Recurve handle Drag system with six alternating carbon fiber and stainless washers Weighing in at less than 6 ounces, the Johnny Morris CarbonLite reel fuses carbon-fiber construction with machined aircraft-grade aluminum, but weighs little more than an average apple! Built on a one-piece aluminum frame, with Duralumin gears and shaft, this bantamweight fighter bristles with pure power. The CarbonLite baitcaster is packed with features, including a V-grooved, ported, machined Duralumin spool; 10 stainless steel, double-shielded ball bearings; our time-tested and tournament proven Dual Braking System™; titanium nitride-coated line guide to virtually eliminate line friction; carbon fiber Recurve handle; and our smooth, powerful drag system with six alternating carbon fiber and stainless washers to help you tame the most vicious fish in the water.

Cell phone with front cam is what I do

I dont have too many fishing buddies and we're not really competitive. Im usually happy when someone catches something....as long as we dont get skunked. I know people who are so competitive with other things its annoying, ala keeping up with the jones's syndrome

I'll try those spots mention@Snook. I'll try the calico rod out there

Rod is awesome and the reel is smooth also. Im content with the spinning setup. Id def buy more of them. I need to peel the plastic off of the cork now

thanks

Caught 8 fish in about 1.5 hours a few days ago....and 1 in the last 2 days
