It's hard to argue with a $90 Tatula from Amazon. I think waiting for a second paycheck or a steadier job is sound advice though.

Yar! The condition is overall pretty good, just a few dings and one dark mark above the gear ratio number. She needs new knob caps but that's easy. I'll get some more pictures up tonight, hopefully with a fish or two.

Here's one of the pictures I promised. Got a bit lucky on this one.

If you used your Outdoor Rewards card, they should be able to look it up.

If you can bump it to $300 and want style points as well, look at the Megabass Orochi XX Extreme Misson Type F or Diablo Spec R. If you can do $270-280, wait 'til 4th of July and catch a Dobyns Extreme 703 or 743 on a 20% off sale somewhere.

So. . Pitchforks and torches?

Cold War's over mate.

I would put exactly zero stock in those reviews. They just repeat manufacturer specifications and assign numbers arbitrarily.

This is my last week of physical therapy so I bought something stupid on eBay. Pics when she gets here!

100; 300 is the high capacity big bait reel. The H and P indicate retrieve speed and the L indicates left handed retrieve. I'm not a fan of the Lexa with the Tatula available for $100 or under and I find Falcon rods to be nothing special, especially at the lower end.

This is a headscratcher. Hopefully it will make more sense when we have more information.

If you're going to purchase a P-Line product, I would recommend the CXX. That Hi Seas fluorocarbon coated line actually doesn't suck but it's pretty much just like a nylon mono that doesn't really float.

That Avid would work.

Yeah, you're correct. It's really not the threads that are the issue. Mostly I just want the locking nut from the Extremes to be on every rod series.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I get my hands on one. I want to be cautiously optimistic but Dobyns does not have a good track record of sensitivity relative to price. However, sensitivity is just one aspect of a rod's performance. I just wish they would do something with the locking nut and threads; that ECS seat + metal hood and uncovered nut just murders my fingers.

Buy more Zillions!

I'd certainly look at CXX. Choose based on diameter as it runs thick for its advertised pound test.

Nice!

I'm not a fan but the kids like it.

The Memorial Day Monkey demanded $50. That 4.5" Swing Impact looks like a winner.

Lyrics are a bit lame but otherwise, two horns up. I love a good scream-growl combination. Look up some 3 Inches of Blood. Garaunteed to put a smile on your face!

Right on. Imma Youtube that.

I think it's from a song.

Nice. You should frog with that bad boy as well.

Abu will probably charge you ten bucks, no questions.
