I ordered 6 packs of Senkos, 2 packs of Rage Bugs, and 4 packs of Rage Craws yesterday. I paid $3.48 for the Senkos, $3.78 for the Bugs, and $3.45 for the Craws. Now today, the Senkos are $6.34, Rage Bugs are $8.49, and the Rage Craws are $3.22. Just goes to prove that WalMart's pricing is all over the place.

Listen, there are 100's of different colors out there when it comes to soft plastics, but there's only one color you really need as a beginner. So I have to ask you if you've already been told about our Lord and Savior, green pumpkin?

If you can swing the extra dough, you'll notice a difference to step up to the Zodias over the Curado rods.

I believe they closed out some discontinued Champion's last year.

I'm the total opposite. I hate river fishing, especially our 3 rivers. I only fish them whenever our club has a tournament on them. I was surprised this year whenever we had our tournament on there. I had 3.71 on three fish, which is usually really good for down there (and I lost/missed about a dozen more bites that would have upgraded me). Winning weight had 10 pounds and another guy had 8 pounds.

This fish was around 15 pounds. Caught it on a Loomis 854 with 16lb. fluoro on an SV103 and I had no control over this fish the first 5 minutes. Did it manage it? Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to use a trout setup to try to land a 6+ lb largemouth.

I buy my fluoro and braid in bulk spools. It cuts my cost per yard down enough that I don't have to worry about it so much. Example: Sunline Sniper FC 16lb. TW price - $23.99 for 200 yards - 0.11995 per yard TW price - $66.99 for 660 yards - 0.1015 per yard Factor in buying during a 20% off sale TW price - $53.59 for 660 yards - 0.0811 per yard If I figure that I need 70 yards of fluro on my reel: 200 yard spool normal price - $8.39 per spooling - 2 spools and 60 yards to try to make due with 660 yard spool normal price - $7.10 per spooling - 9 spools and 30 yards for leader use 660 yard spool sale price - $5.67 per spooling - 9 spools and 30 yards for leader use

One is literally flammable, and the other is endorsed by one of the greatest of all time and works like a charm. And to touch on what @WRB said, that makes complete sense now why whenever I broke down my father's Curado's they were completely gum on the inside.

Sounds like you found the perfect fix already. Good decision!

Columbia PFG Bahama Vent fishing shoes. Lightweight and designed to drain water and dry out quickly. So if I have to get wet while launching early in the morning, I'm not wet all day.

Only a few days left to sign up and join the fun.

I love my older Zillion Crazy Crankers. If this reel has a better form factor in my hand, I might have to pick one up.

I got the same answer, which you know is BS. The page is already live on the website. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/25days.html

The Neko rig. It made my summer fishing much more successful this year.

1 year warranty and then 50% off retail after that with free tube/shipping on the broken rod return. I wouldn't call that a bad warranty by any means.

In the $300ish range? Gloomis IMX Pro Megabass Orochi XX Dobyns Champion and Extreme St. Croix LTB

The scales say carp, but that's not a carp mouth. I'm not sure what that is.

We have some urban fish here in Pittsburgh too.

The Expride blank is a definite step up from the Zodias.

This thread is over 8 years old... For what it's worth, I've bought probably around 10 reels from Japan and I've never had to pay any import taxes.

I can't compare it to the rods you mentioned, but I have the 7'2" H rod and it's an awesome rod. Only 4.4oz and I like it better than my IMX's. My only gripe is the lack of a hook keeper.

I already received my order of 8 jigs and some Rage plastics. Talk about quick work!

And... I just bought 8 more jigs...

I'd vote the Carolina's, Georgia, or the Tennesse/Kentucky region. Lots of quality lakes in those states.
