If it's a magnesium toothpick with 10 ball bearings, I'm in. ROFLMAO!!! ;D

they make the supreme spinning magnesium frame for $99.why not take a 7.8 oz summit and give it a mag frame.get it down around 6 oz for $179.

i fish 15 feet or deeper a lot of the time.

imho sufix performance braid is the best braid made.

it's a great reel but honestly it costs that much because we are stupid enough to pay for it.pflueger could make the same reel at 1/4 the price.

the o rings are the way to go when wacky rigging a senko.you will save a lot of senkos because they slide up the line.just remember like any other presentation wacky rigging does not work all the time.

what do you mean fishing with a cork?try a lipless crankbait,a senko, or a t-rigged worm.

i soaked it in warm water and spooled it wet.

i know what you mean about the vanish lashes.it has since been reformulated and casts nothing like it used to.i have some on one rod and i was amazed at the difference between the vanish i used to know and the new stuff.i'm going to try the cabela's and a few others also.

hey dude,ignore it.you got a nice reel.a 500 reel and a 500 rod won't catch you any more fish.post some pics of the fish you catch with it.LONG LIVE PFLUEGER!!!

a good friend of mine has convinced me to give flourocarbon another shot.so i'm keeping braid on my heavy jig stick and trying flouro on a few others.he recommends cabela's brand flouro.i will try that and a few others.i was going to give seguar invisex a try also.i am open to sugestions from everybody.please tell me why you prefer the line you like.

anybody else want to join?

who cares?you have a nice setup that easily equals most equipment guys use.enjoy your new setup and may you catch many fish with it.

i balance all my rods.to me it makes casting less strenuous.i had a sore elbow one year and could not cast at all.i balanced my rods and the elbow got better.ever since then i have them all balanced.

it's the same one i have.it's a great reel for the $.

congratulations.did you get the narrow spool or the wide spool?

that would be the cabela's xml rod that i heard has a loomis blank.fyi it's supposed to be a very nice rod.

Not quite guys. Browning® has licensed BPS® as their only outlet for Browning® fishing. BPS didn't purchase the name. Same way when Quantum® was building their reels they were licensed to do so. No outright purchase of the Browning® name has ever happened. so then browning hasn't made a reel themselves in how long?doesn't matter,there stuff looks preety nice to me.i would be willing to try it.those boron/graphite rods look nice.

red turns black.cajun red cast turns grey.sometimes i think red will cause a fish to strike.green looks like weeds so if you fish in weeds no problem.my theory is since even blind bass can detect line in tests but have a harder time detecting thinner line just use the thinnest you can when finesse fishing.line detection means nothing unless you are finesse fishing anyway.i never tie a leader to braid.i just use a thinner braid if i feel the need.

i used to fish shimano.they are great reels.i fish pflueger now.if i was going to buy a different brand i'd get a diawa zillion.

sufix braid all the way.20 lb on spinning and 65 baitcast.

that's because bps bought the rights to the browning brand name.all the browning reels are made by pflueger as far as i know.browning was owned by quantum and at that time all their reels were made by quantum.

i'm thinking of putting 10/4 sufix on my spinning rod.

sufix

i heard they were made by the pflueger division of shakespeare.
