Looking into joining a club this 2017 season for a rider/co angler. I've been bass fishing for many years, and want to start the tournament scene. Anyone have any info?

I'm replacing all of my rods this year. Want to stick with one company. Was possibly thinking castaway rods. Any one have any issues with them? Also if I emailed castaway do you think they'd give some sort of discount if I'd be ordering 6-7 rods?

Hey all, looking into building my first rod. Looking for some Input from you guys. Should I start with a spinning or casting build? I've only looked on mudhole because their kits are fairly priced. Anyone know of any good building kits from other companies, web sites etc?

It's every month. I was debating wether or not to try

SA fishing does a monthly subscription box now that I just seen. Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? It says you'll receive $100 in tackle and $200 in apparel all for only $40.

I use braid on every reel I have except 1 and that one hardly sees the water. I love braid. Yes on 2 of my setups I will throw a 3-4ft fluorocarbon leader on. Now a good friend on mine that I fish with is complete opposite. He hates braid, and never uses it. We catch about the same amount of fish between the both of us. My opinion is its all about what you prefer.

Awesome! I was in between getting the sx or the speed spool. Glad I went with the orra!

Just picked up the Abu Garcia orra sx reel anyone have any experience with these reels?

Thanks fellas

I have a st croix mojo bass spinner bait model. Now is that rod only used for spinnerbaits? I've never really heard anything about them. Could they be used for other technique fishing?

Anyone ever fished these?

Not a fan of the pitboss?

Pretty cool color I put together.

i tend to try and use braid on majority of my setups, besides my spinning setup. is this bad? mainly 20lb braid except for my flipping rods. was wanting to know everyone elses opinions on this. thanks!

What's up guys/gals, I've been a member since March of 2015 but have never taken the time to introduce myself. My name is Robert, I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. I mainly bank fish in small ponds and occasional golf course ponds ? I've been bass fishing for about 3 years but have just recently started getting really into it. I spent those years hardly catching anything because I thought it was just grab a lure and fish, but thanks to your guys support and help I've been able to catch more fish. This forum is amazing and thanks everyone for responding to my questions and helping me out. There's still a lot to learn!

Okay cool. I was just wanting some other people's inputs or what they prefer. I'll try different lengths and go from there

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah I've heard guys say 10ft all the way to 12in. Just wasn't sure the difference in the length of there is any?

I have 20lb braid on my reel right now. People keep telling me to throw a fluorocarbon leader on with it. But my ? Is how long should I make the leader and what pb test? Any input would help, thanks.

Ive decided to go with the lews tournament mb with the avid x. Would you guys throw braid on there or mono?

Thanks for the input guys. I was looking at the croix avid and was liking that. I have one but heavy for when i fish heavy cover.

Hey guys, im getting a new set up. Can anyone help me decide rod (action and length) reel , and line? Ill be making this setup for texas rig/ lighter jigs. Thanks. Also wanting to keep it under the $300 price range.

Just picked up some missile D Bombs. Anyone had any luck using this bait?

Awesome! Thanks everyone for your opinions and help!!!

What are some of your setups man. Rod, reel, line

Ive been doing some so far. One thing i dont understand is different rigs? So is this pretty much saying have a differemt rod,reel,line for differemt types of baits as in soft plAstics,jigs and such? Sorry in advanved if that was a rookie ?
