I like a shorter rod too. I use a 6'6 Lightning Shock M.

Only downgrade with the Shimano was not puting the bearings in the knobs.

There is a 200E7 in the market, pondassasin is a good seller.

Yes, has to feel good in the hand. I palm 100%, so its got to be a good feel. I like my 50E on a Vendetta, and my 200's on Sellus rods.

Find yourself a new or used Shimano Curado or Citica and a Shimano Sellus MH rod. Spool it with 12# YoZuri and be done with it.

Ok, here I am. Im gonna have to agree with Hootie, the Lews is smooth, but the Shimano Cronarch will be the proven soldier on the battlefield. I prefer the K.I.S.S. method on everything, and Shimano has proven it works. Also, dont get fooled by drag lbs, the Lews is inaccurate.

Ahh, humping toad! Thanks Diggy

You can use either or. If your going to use it in heavy cover, than go ahead and spool it with braid. If not, than fluoro will be fine. I have both type setups with 2 rigs.

Zoom, great worm.

Nice catch

Just got a Selluse H Flipping rod a couple of weeks ago. So far so good. People say they are pretty solid.

Its a reaction bite.

The spool, the brakes, the crank shaft bearing, guide, and maybe the drag. The Chronarch E is a totally different horse.Citica is a great reel for intro users, Curado a bit better, and the Chronarch......well, that is sweetness.

I love the Sellus rod, and I also like the Shock rod. I used to use the Shocks primarily, but I feel more comfortable with the Sellus. Plus it looks good with a Shimano reel on it. Seriously, I think the Sellus is better technique specific wise, and sensitivity is a little better.

Lets dance!

I tried the RM, I like the KVD better.

Might just be the line too. Try this, spray some copious amounts all over the spool the night before and let it soak. Just before you get ready to fish, spray some more on it. See if that helps, if not, get yourself some better line.

Best advice I can give is get rid of the reel and get one that has centrifical brakes.

Flush the spool bearings, and add oil to them.

I thought Spiderwire did?

If you gonna throw cranks and spinners, just make sure to downgrade the rod to a M action to help with the "give"

7'6 Sellus MH, Curado 200E7, 65# braid.

4/0 hook and no weight. Swim them with a little jerking motion along the top of veg or open.

The guy I fish with in Fire Fighter tourneys will whip that thing out once in a while to see if it will do any good. So far, Ive caught more fish on a single Gambler EZ than he has fishing 5 baits on this 1 rig. He could be fishing the rig in the same spot, and I will pull the fish before he does. If you ask me, I think it was a waste of $, but thats just my opinion.

I would go with the Tourney Special.
