I don't know about everyone else but my thought towards that is that there is no point in setting one set of rules. I feel that if each league or series followed the same rules there would be no point in having more than one league. I feel the different rules differentiate the leagues and series and anglers can choose what set of rules they like and the league they want.

I recently bought the johnny morris signiture rod. I have not used it yet but when I was in the store I asked an associate what the difference was and he explained to me that the signiture is balanced a little better and is a little more sensitive.

1. a good rule of them when talking flouro vs. mono is that mono 2 lbs heavier than the flouro dives to the same depth,10 lb flouro = same depth as 12 lb mono, 12 lb flouro = same depth as 14 lb mono and so on. mono also stretches and flouro is invisible under water. 2.when i use crankbaits i use 12-17 lb flouro, some people like mono for crankbaits because of the stretch, but i like flouro for the invisibility factor and if you have the right rod you dont need stretch in the line. for an all around size i would go with 15lb seguar red label or invis-x. 3. for top water stay with mono, the line limpness is what creates the actions and it floats, flouro just pulls the bait down, for an all around size go with 15 lb mono either by vicious or by trilene. 4. for light situations using i would go with 8-12 lb flouro, in general i would go with 10 lb flouro, the flouro will give alot better feel and will sink so it will help the action of your finesse baits. 5. when pitching and flipping it depends on the type of cover, the heavier the cover the heavier the line, you have to be careful using spinning gear for pitching and flipping though, the spinning gear isn't meant for heavier situations such as this. if you do end up doing this i suggest 20 lb power pro braid. i suggest eventually investing into a casting setup with a burner reel and a heavier rod 7'6"-7'11", this would be much more suited towards pitching and flipping. i hope this helps your decisions, alot of what i have told you is based off personal experience and from Jon, Kevin, and Randy Vandam who live in my area.

i am already buying one of the higher end rods from them but im a college student so alot of the money i have goes towards school so i dont have enough to 3 higher end rods.

i am not considering buying any other companies rods due to the fact that i work at gander mountain and i can do whats called a VAPP which means i can order directly from the company for 50%-60% off and st. croix is the only company i can do that through. i have felt all of the mojo's and have liked them but we dont have any of the rage's in so i cant feel them to see which one i like better.

what is the difference between the two crankbaits and which are better for 8-10 foot depth?

I know the Rage uses scIII graphite and the mojo uses scII graphite, but which rod is a better rod?

i have heard that the c-flash cranks work well out there, what would work better the 44 mag or the 44 cal?

jigfishermen, i have a partner for the gun tournament but depending on the day and time i could potentially fish with you down on klingler a time or two, Lund explorer, from the few times i have fished it i have had the most luck flipping docks and tossing some grubs in the holes infront of the beaches but i dont know if there is anything better that i should do out there for next season

i have recently started tournament fishing on gun lake in michigan and was wondering what the best baits are for that lake in the spring and summer seasons, and if you have any tips or tricks on how to use them. Any info would be much appreciated

i have decided to get the mojo since i like a little stiffer rod, my friend is getting the kvd and i will just have use them both and find out which rod truly is better, thanks for the info

i cant decide between getting a 7' 4" kvd signiture tour rod for cranking or the 7' 4" mojo bass crankster, can someone shed some light on which is a better rod and why.

I flexed the gl2 drop shot rod and it was lined up but the worm rod was off, I didn't feel any of the other gl2 but I did like the feel of the drop shot rod but that doesn't mean its gonna hold up on the water lol

i most definitely wont be paying full price for it, i will have ATLEAST 20% off the full price maybe more if i order it straight from the warehouse using my gander discount from them

thanks Chris, you really cant beat the price we get on rods, if only we could get dobyns and ducketts in there i would be a happy man lol.
