I wouldnt place it on the rod. I know some people who could out fish me with a $20 Shakespeare combo. But Im sure it will make the experience more pleasurable with that bad boy!

Depending on how thick of cover it is will depend on how well its going to work. That line is tough, but too many pads will hinder that. Save the line for a rig that you will use in more open water, and get yourself some 40# braid at least. I use 65#, but I fish some heavy cover with it down here.

A 51E isnt the best choice of a reel to use for frogging, the 200E7 would be a better choice, but if you are going to use it, spool it with at least 40# braid, and look into the Sellus Flipping rod, its a great deal for $70, and its very strong.

Dont buy the Clarus rod, I have broken 2 of them in the last 3 months, they dont hold up. If anything, get the Sellus MH Worm and Jig rod, that thing has a better backbone, and its only $50.

Same crap.

Good advice: dont waste the money. Save it for better lures and stuff.

So Im going on my long awaited honeymoon to Boston and Maine. At the end of the trip we are going to be at my wifes Grandfathers house on the NW side of Unity Pond. I am bringing a 7'0 MH 2 piece pole, and my 50E spooled with 12# YoZuri. Any suggestions as to what baits to use, what is up there to fish for In the Maine area, and is that rig going to be enough to fish with because I am only able to bring one.?

Thats not a reel that would be a good canidate to upgrade. Thats an extra for a friend.

We call those mudfish. Catch some bream and cut them up. Put them on a hook with a sinker for the bottom.

Umm........never run them dry.

I use a MF for my 50E with 12# YoZuri for my light plastics.

Either one is good. My 12# is clear, my 20# is green

Try Yozuri.

I will be up there by Lake Murray on Oct 3rd. Going to Lexington for a wedding, bringing some fishing gear.

I dont pack any other bearing but the AR bearing with grease. All others just get oil. I dont know if that will make a difference for you.

Haha, thats classic! Got to remember that one!

I have a 7' M Vendetta, those things aare stiff, to me its like a MH. I have my 50E on it with 12# YoZuri, and its got some backbone to do just about anything.

If its braid yes, otherwise not really.

Just be careful with the micro guide rods, they are known for popping out guide inserts.

S

That will make a big improvement

Lube them. Ardent reel butter, Bantam oil, are some good choices.

No problem. It doesnt go through any degradation just sitting around indoors. Ive had line for years with no problems.

my mistake, either way they are some great rods regular or shock.

Thumbs up!
