I just picked up 2 844 glx's from monster. They are on clearance for 292.50 and then you can enter your email to get a ciupon code that knocks off another $25 bringing it to $267.50tyd. #stolen!

You need the 844...you'll end up using it for nearly every contact bait. I nearly always have a beaver with a 1/8- 3/16oz weight tied to the end of one of my 844's. I use my 843's for spinnerbaits, chatterbait and buzz baits. Monster fishing has the 844 right now for $267.50 out the door . Just enter your email to get the extra $25 off. Kinda a thread hijack but you asked.

You're the man...

How are you getting the 783 for 307.50? It has them for like $380 now on the website. And is there a code you can throw up to get the extra $25 off or do I need to register?

The imx is a much better blank, and add in the fact you get Alconites with it vurses aluminum oxide with the gl3.

How does that zillion feel in hand? I'm in the market for a 7'6"-7'11" 1/4-3/4oz crankbait rod and that's one I've considered.

I think the adrena /ultima have the nicest butts of any rod on the market. Cat-call nice...

I have the regular guided version...bright blue/cork rod.

The ethos would be my choice. I've had the 7' mh for about 5 years now. It's 30 ton blank is sensitive and boasts better components than the other two (Fuji acs seat/alconite guides). A steal at $70.

That's the reel I'm thinking of.

Something like that...it was a long time ago. They looked unpalmable and held a crap load of line.

I don't fish lews, but they represent more of a second comming than a wanna-be. In the late 80's I knew guys that wouldn't have traded their old green lews for my shiny new abu xlt plus.

I've been out of the game for a number of years (like '07) and am diving back in. Lots of new rigs out, but this peaks my interest. I generally throw a slider when things go awry.

I'd go with the abu black max; it will most likely have the best resale value when you are ready to upgrade in a few weeks.

I would spend $100 on rod and save a few more pennies for an acceptable reel. Any of the $100 rods offered today will blow your mind after using that ugly stick, and be more than enough motivation to save another $75 for a decent reel. BTW...howdy yall.
