I have a 6'8" M XF Carbonlite paired up with a 30 sized Supreme and they go together perfectly IMO. I use it primarily for throwing wacky rigged senkos, shakey heads, and light texas rigs, and it works great for all of those techniques. I don't drop shot so I can't comment on how well it would work for that. But considering the Carbonlites are on sale right now for $80-90, I'd highly recommend picking one up!

My friend and I were trying out a new pond yesterday morning, and, after a half hour or so of no bites, I hooked into a nice fish. After a nice fight with a couple exciting jumps, I landed this monster. It weighed in at 6.23 lbs on my scale, beating my previous PB by a couple ounces. This fish was pretty skinny but had the length and mouth worthy of a 7-8 pounder. I caught it on a junebug red baby brush hog texas rigged. I know for certain that I will definitely fish this pond again soon, and hopefully there's an even bigger one swimming around!

I was just browsing a certain auction site and saw bids on almost new Citica 200E up to $156... I know they usually go for a lot less than that, but it's still insane that someone is willing to pay that much for a reel that originally retailed for $120.

I was wondering the same thing.

Do you know which model he had paired with the CI4+? M or MH?

I may have missed this, but is there a way to only view unread posts instead of having to find the last one you read? I know the last mobile version just automatically took me to the first unread post. Thanks

Does anyone have suggestions as to what lures the BDS model would be good for? Would it be okay for squarebills and lipless cranks or is it more of a mid to deep cranking rod?

I've recently acquired all 3 of these reels over the past couple of weeks. I think I might have a problem... - Shimano Scorpion XT 1000 - Shimano Chronarch 200E6 - Lew's Tournament Pro

Does anyone know where you can buy these swimbaits? I can't find them in stock anywhere except Hi's Tackle and they don't have the color I want. Thanks

Just today I was doing some browsing and saw that they are getting really hard to find and are even selling for $50+ on eBay. Does anyone know why they aren't available anymore? At the original $20 price I was considering buying one, but at the prices they are going for now not so much. I really want to try one out but can't see myself spending that much on a single bait.

Are the Black Friday deals for Cabelas in-store only or will they be online too? I would like to pick up a Lews Tournament Pro at $120 if possible.

I recently broke an older carbonlite rod that I really liked (6'6" M/F spinning) and took it to BPS to get it replaced. They didn't have any of the older rods left, so I picked up one of the newer white ones (6'8" M/XF spinning) instead. Has anyone used the newer white carbonlite rods, and, if so, what did you think of it? How does it compare to the older version?

How do you think it would handle 5/8 oz lipless cranks? It's a medium heavy rod, but it's only rated to 1/2 oz so I'm not sure how it would handle them.

Would it be a good rod for lipless crankbaits and squarebills as well as normal crankbaits?

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone have some experience with the Diesel cranking rod? If so, how did you like it?
