There is one small scuff visible in the 2nd pic but its hard to see against the black frame of the reel. Asking $120 shipped.

Not looking to trade. Reel has to be sold.

Sorry for the delay. Here are the reel pics.

Yea. Just not sure I'll be able to get the rod in time for a rig use since I have a tournament in less than a week. Drug my feet and didnt know if I was going to fish since I pulled a muscle in my back. But I'm healed and ready to fish. Might hold out and get the ALX anyway and make due with my 7' H unless something else gets recommended.

The past year or so I have been throwing my A rig's and 5"-6" soft swimbaits on a 7'H ALX rod and it has performed ok at its task. It's mainly a big jig/carolina rig/lite flipping rod and performs best at those tasks. For this year I'm looking to get a rod to use that will be more suited for a rigs in the winter and 5-6" soft swimbaits (keitech 4.8/5.8, zoom 5" swimmer, and gambler big ez) on 1/2oz-3/4oz heads. I would also like to use the rod for some heavier flipping. Not puching in the Cal Delta, but looking to flip into some heavier laydowns and such. Wanting to keep the rod $130 or less and looking 7'6"-7'11" could be a hair shorter if needed. What is some advice you all can give me? Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I'm off Wednesday so I'll probably hit the lake and give a couple different baits a try. Probably try: fluke trick worm baby paca craw

Anybody used a wobble head (biffle hard head) in the winter time? I've done decent with them in the summer time but never gave them a try in the winter. I've used a football jig with a lot of success in the colder water and figured I could use a fluke on the wobble head and drag it around rock and see how it goes.

Thanks for the info. I'll grab a pack of 4's and 2's and see how they turn out.

I fish jigs and soft plastics mostly but want to start throwing more cranks this summer so sorry if this question is stupid. The lakes I fish have a lot of grass and wood so I don't want to be fighting getting hung a lot. I have several squarebills that need new hooks. I'm wanting to try EWG Short Shank Gamakatsu's. My question is, do I have to up size the hooks (#4 stock, so go up to #2) or can I stick with the same size? Or would I be better off going with EWG trebles that aren't a short shank?

It mostly depends on the water clarity. Where I fish the water color tends to be rather clear. If its bright and sunny I use watermelon but if its cloudy I'll use green pumpkin. The lakes that I fish that are dirty I use mostly plum, purple, and some black/blue. If I had to pick one 1 cover most situations I'd go with green pumpkin.

Agreed 100%.
