Oh I definitely respect that. And totally agree. I was referring more to other women just not understanding the sport, or thinking its "strange" or "silly" for a woman to love it so much. I fish on occasion with my husbands buddies sometimes with him there sometimes without him. But its all close friend of ours I wouldn't just fish with some random guy. 90% of the time if i'm fishing my husband is with me.

Thanks for the great responses KyakR and BigBill. Y'all definitely hit a few nails right on their heads. Bill those are the moments I live for and love that my son is learning to love them too. Kayakr, l have a career, I cook, I clean, I don't *****/nag my husband, and I love fishing & football. So my very happy husband tells his friends, they whine to their wives, and that leads to me feeling the hate or being seen as a threat . Not to mention my own friends who don't understand my love for fishing. I'd be GLAD to take them and show them the ropes but they aren't interested. You are right, other female anglers have ALWAYS welcomed me with open arms, the same as I have with them. Luckily most men around here welcome female anglers on the water, but not yet for most clubs. There's 1 club here for couples, otherwise it's men only .

Hey Jim! welcome!

I've seen women here ask about treatment from male fisherman being rough but what about the treatment from non-fisherman females? I never let it get to me because I'll never apologize for doing what I love but I can't be the only one who gets slack from other females ??

I have an avid pearl, very nice rod, my ONLY complaint is the grips

Thanks! It's my baby ) Nice bass! I'm gonna have to try that!

Welcome ladies!

They aren't especially for women though

I have special tour grips on my rods (like a golf club) and I find it helps with wrist fatigue.

Hildebrandt "the blade" spinner bait . They are hard to find these days but one of my all time faves

I have both and like both but I tend to use the Lews more, no specific reason, just a personal preference.

Welcome !

Oh cool! I never knew that! When they keep bitting i keep throwing!

Nice fish! I have never caught one, we don't have small mouth in louisiana! Just Large mouth & spotted here!

HAHA Gonna have to try your JJs trick . I always keep some around anyway!

I definitely agree ! Find your own spot people!

DANNNNNNNNG! If a LMB did that, I want to catch him!

Bass are loving the blue blades the last couple weeks!

You're right, custom is NOT cheap, but it IS worth it. I have a a few factory rods also and they are pretty similar in cost.

Yep! It really is the way to go, especially to pick and choose the features you want. He's working on a 4 foot version for my little boy, can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Ever since my first rod with them I'm never gone back, same way I feel about micro guides.

I LOVE the tour grips. It fits my hand a lot better. You are going to love them too I promise!

The white one is MHX and the black one is castaway.

I'm so jealous that y'all get to fish peacocks all the time! We're headed to FL in March for a peacock trip and I'll have to remember this post for tips! Of course catching one in the Amazon is at the very top of my bucket list, I'm sure I'm not the only one !!!

Can't wait to use these two beauties The flat black one is 7ft medium heavy w/ micro guides The white one is 7ft heavy fast action w/ micro guides
