  1. Spend a little exxtra and get a 7' mf Avid off eBay. No point in having a great reel if you cant pair it with a great rod. Otherwise 6 months from now you're going to wish you spent a little more because youll wonder how much better your setup could be...trust me. Spend now, feel the satisfaction forever.
  2. Anyone? I'm going out in a little while here and would like to make sure I'm working it the best way possible.
  3. Hey guys, I know there is a jerkbait thread but this is kind of general plastic...although I am most curious about it In relation to fishing a fluke. When you cast it out and start working it doing a jerk jerk pause technique, it seems 9/10 hits come on the pause when the bait is sinking. My question is this: When do you reel in your slack after your twitches/jerks? You have to keep some slack in the line in order to get the right motion, but I feel like I'm missing fish because by the time I reel in most of my slack the fish is ready to spit the fluke. Should I be doing a jerk-jerk-reel in most slack-pause? Because then I feel like by reeling in most of the slack that the fluke cant drop down and "die" on the pause. I have been doing a jerk-jerk-pause-reel in slack. When I reel in the slack then I feel the tap and then its gone... Hopefully this makes sense, I typed it up on my phone. I really want to master fishing flukes but after missing one today I want to make sure my technique is spot on. Please break it down as simple as you can. Thanks guys
  4. Has anyone found anywhere online to get the ci4+ for a bit cheaper than retail?
  5. When in doubt, go St. Croix
  6. Dwight, that stinks I wish I would have posted this last week. Maybe I will call and try always. Long shot but who knows. Crappie, that is for the previous model unfortunately.
  7. Yeah I figured...I couldn't find anywhere w a labor day sale that didn't exclude shimano
  8. Hi guys, Sorry for the kind of pointless thread but jw if anyone can point me in the direction of a site with a coupon code or anywhere to get the new ci4+ for cheaper than $220 shipped? Thanks!
  9. Been using old fashioned PP for about 8 years now. Going to try the super slick next I think.
  10. Not sure if you are paying full price but if you do some shopping I just got a brand new legend xtreme 7'mf for $275 shipped and I absolutely love It.
  11. After speaking to a rep, I understood it as the blanks are slightly different due to a new process they are using to improve the xtreme?
  12. Well I got from a dealer who went straight through the factory and due to demand I finalllly got it today. It feels amazing. I love the new skin handle as it is very sleek and comfortable. Will be out all weekend and give a review after. Now I just need to order a new CI4+
  13. TW has 15% off but of course it doesn't apply to Shimano....hmm, revo? patriarch? shoot lol
  14. I have a pair of their polarized aviators, no complaints for the price!
