    Probably, yeah. I think it's a higher quality product.
  2. Cgrinder
    To add to the confusion, I feel that a Curado or Chronarch 50E would compliment your Medium power rod quite well.
  3. Cgrinder
    I think they have some fiberglass or something in the tip, which is supposed to make it softer to offset the no-stretch braid. Might be gimmicky, but I know part of the reason for their praise is the soft tip that helps to throw lures.

    The Shocks are getting high praise in this forum as heavy cover rods. You'll be pretty happy with the 7' MH, I think.

    M power is good for soft plastic anything weightless. I am not a fan of micro guides, though my Cumara has some and they are okay. Curado E is always good. 6 is enough, 7 is also fine, and you should go with what you prefer.

    You guys in PA and Iowa are lucky. MI Dick's don't carry Citicas and the Veritas are still full price. =/

    7' M sounds fine for topwater, if a bit long. I would personally not use a Medium for jigs. I have a Pro Q in 7.1:1 and it works well. Lews is also a good choice, but they don't have the 7:1 in a LH. The new Orra might be worth waiting for if you really like Abu reels.

    First two digits are the model, second two are the size. 6920 is the smallest of the series and 6940 is the largest.

    That's certainly strange. I haven't had issues with it on a Skeet Reese crankbait rod or a 6'8" Cumara. Feels very good in the hand.

    But why?
  11. Cgrinder
    I recently got a Smoke 100 and I really like it. I don't think it's possible to go wrong with the four choices you've listed.

    Your fiance is saving you heartache. Thank her by buying yourself a Smoke.
  13. Cgrinder
    I have a Smoke sitting on a Cumara that my girlfriend doesn't know about yet.
  14. Cgrinder
    Lews doesn't have many options for a LH retrieve. I recommend the Pro Q if you reel lefty. If you reel with your right hand, disregard and carry on!

    A 5" Senko with a 3/0 EWG is something like 3/8 oz, if I'm not mistaken?

    I'm in the bank angler with a backpack group. 3701 Plano boxes are my friend. I don't have a good spinnerbait solution yet though.
  17. Cgrinder
    That is a good deal. I don't think my local one has that deal though.
  18. Cgrinder
    Citica because I prefer centrifugal braking. Also I don't think the Speed Spool comes in a 7:1 in LH. I could be mistaken.
  19. Cgrinder
    Ugly Stik has a 5'6" Medium spinning rod, but not Medium Heavy. You're going to have a hard time finding what you seek, I think. If you're serious about it, maybe Delaware Valley Tackle can custom build one for you. It could be pricey.

    Used Crucials for $100 shipped on a certain internet auction site. Cumaras for $175, too. Otherwise, Compre.
  21. Cgrinder
    Weightless. Just a 3/0 hook.
  22. Cgrinder
    I'll take a stab. I like a Medium power-Fast or XFast action for worms. Spinnerbaits would be Medium Heavy power-Fast action. Crankbait rods are usually, not always, fiberglass and have Moderate to Moderate-Fast actions. To be honest, a lot of it is personal preference.
  23. Cgrinder
    So this is a little off topic, but I need to thank you for this idea. I just caught a solid 19 inch Largemouth by twitching and pausing a black Yum Dinger after reading your post earlier.
  24. Cgrinder
    If you're up for buying used, you can get a Crucial for about that price. If you must buy new, the *** is the way to go.

    I'm glad the braid guys showed up in this thread. I was getting depressed. On topic, Sufix Elite has very good knot strength and abrasion resistance if you're into mono. Abrasion resistance is important for us northern guys wading through a sea of Pike teeth.
