That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks again.

Alrights thanks for the help. I have one more question, like flyfisher said about the # test he uses for cranking. What would you guys recommend for cranking? I'm trying to get my cranking rod set up.

Yeah all I use is power pro. I have 25 40 and 65. You think 65 is to much for any application?

I like the XCalibur XR50 or 75 foxy shad or Rapala Rippin Rap Lipless.

I use a soft sided tackle box. It comes with a strap that you can carry over your shoulder, has tons of pockets and the main zip part can fit 4 big plano boxes(not sure what size).

I haven't been using braid for that long so I wanted to know what the actual breaking strength of braid is. Is it the # braid or the diameter or is it stronger than what its rated? If this question has already been answered please give me a link, I have been through 10 pages of this forum topic and haven't seen it asked. Thanks again.

That's great Frank, which series *** are you getting? Let me know which one feels better, more sensitive, more backbone.

Welcome Lenny, I'm new to this forum as well. Nice to meet you.

Welcome man. I'm new too but have been asking a lot of questions.

I'm new as well, Welcome!

Yeah I like my Veritas but when I get my next set up I will probably try out the omens or lews.

For the same price(around $100) which rods do you like the most? Anyone tried the Omens, Carbonlites, St. Croix, Lews, Kistler?
