Looking into buying either a solo canoe Old Town Guide 119 Canoe or a Ascend™ FS12T Sit On Top Angler Kayak for fishing small lakes. Has anyone had any experience with either of these two. I'm curious if the canoe would get blown around by the wind more than the kayak. http://www.dicksspor...box&003=3933188 http://www.basspro.c...10213830/118791

Well I started looking on amazon again and saw that they only had one of the 7' 6" MH rods in stock so I pulled the trigger. Cost me $63...For that price I'll take the poor rod packing and hope It gets to me safe.

Any reason why you went with the 7' 11" over the 7' 6". It seems like the 7' 6" can go throw a lighter bait like 1/2 oz and go up to 5oz. Now I'm not real sure if this is true because it seems like that is two ends of the spectrum. Maybe someone can chime in on this before I pull the trigger on the 7' 6 over the 7' 11.

Man $88 is a nice price. I was going to order at *** $104 after 20% off, but may change my mind. Can you tell me when you get your rod or any one else is this rod really stiff? Would I still be able to throw a 3/8 oz jig and feel the bite with this rod. I also noticed that the handle is 20" long, does that become a promblem to anyone? All my currents rods have a handle of 13" to 15" inches long. If you could let me know how the packing from amazon is and if you think the H is to stiff to throw a 3/8 or 1/2 lure. thanks

Thanks for the help think im going to get the okuma. Thanks again for the help

Well I already have a bass pro carbonlite 6' 10" mh 3/8 - 1 oz and a cabelas prodigy rod 7' MH 1/4 - 1 oz. I was just wanting to get the most out of my rod however my main focus is on a swimbait rod. I think I got it narrowed down to these rods below. Which would you guys choose ? Any info on these rods would be great. Thanks Dobyns Savvy Cast Rod 7'3" Med Heavy 735 1/4 - 1 1/4 7' 3" MOJO BASS MBC711HMF Flippin' 7'11" H Mod. Fast, 1pc, 14 - 30#, 1/2 - 2oz, 5.3 $ 130 Okuma Big Bait Rod 7'6" Med Hvy 1/2 - 5 $129.99 Daiwa V.I.P. SM Cast Rod 7'3" Heavy 1/2-1 1/2oz

I really want the Dobyns but not sure as it only goes up to 1 1/2 oz and the Hulddlestone ROF 12 is 2oz. Not sure it this rod will hold a swimbait of 2oz when the rating is listed for 1 1/2. what do you think?

Ok I'm looking for a rod that can throw the huddlestone ROF 5 , 1oz and ROF12 which is 2oz, and still be used to throw other lures like crankbaits and spinnerbaits. I can't afford to go out and buy lots of rods for different occasions, as least at the moment, so I would like something that is versatile. What do you guys think of these options below or is there something else to recommend for my price range of 120.00 - 150.00? Thanks Dobyns Savvy Cast Rod 7'3" Med Heavy 735 1/4 - 1 1/4 7' 3" Powell Endurance Series Rods 7' 2" 1/4oz. - 1-1.5oz Okuma Big Bait Rod 7'6" Med Hvy 1/2 - 5 $129.99 St.Croix Mojo Rods Slop-N-Frog Heavy 3/8 - 1 1/2 7' or buy a Abu Garcia REVO SX Casting Reel from tackle warehouse - $169.99 and get a free Abu Garcia Vengeance Casting Rod 7'6" 3/8-1 1/2oz.
