16# Daiwa Samurai Fluoro or 15# Seaguar Invizx Fluoro,

Purple and green flakes, reminds me of Junebug only different.

I have used Owner round bend for years, never a problem.

Got my $88 Daiwa Tatula Elite 7'1" Heavy. Of course haven't fished with it but putting a reel on and casting a few lures with it, this might turn out to be my favorite rod. To me it feels and cast great!!! I Thinking anything from frogs to worms to chatterbaits. Wish I ordered 3. Looks like they still have the 6'9" in stock and discounted. Anybody got both? How do they compare besides being shorter?

Thanks, just got one of those $88 Tatula Elite rods, 7'1" Heavy!!!

Another Fish Monkey user, like the Stubby.

Same rod I have, hard to beat!!

In Mississippi we had the Wing Ding, I believe Bob Ponds was the inventor, late 60's.

My favorite jerk bait. Been throwing one for many years and it stills continue to catch them. As far as equipment, I thrown it on a Falcon 6 1/2 ft rod with a Daiwa Tatula 100 reel loaded with 12# Sunline mono.

Been playing the guitar since the 60's off and on. Owned several guitars since then but the 2 that has remained are the Taylor 714 and the Fender '52 RI Tele. Play nothing but 60's and early 70's stuff.

Me and Nixon are the same age, glad to see him back!!!

Seems like I just got in for the discount.

Pure Fishing code is still working, just ordered some more of my favorite cranks, Frittside. Not going to beat that price!!!

Mostly listen to fishing podcast but when it is music it is CCR and Johnny Rivers, yes I am old!!!

Been using Garmin for years, they are the best in my book.

Look at the Dobyns Sierra line of rods. They have 3 rods that are 6'8". I am thinking that the 683 model would be great for cranks. It is listed as a med/heavy but it is more like a med. They also have one model that is lighter that would also work.

Been using the Missile Baits Mini D Chunk. Perfect fit for the Mini Max.

As long as it is sunny and no wind, I can take 50 degrees but no colder, come on spring!!!

Yep, haven't had a fishing license in 7 years, getting old does have some benefits.

I have them on all my spinning and casting rods. I also have the grips on all my reels. After using both, will not have a combo without them, might be an old guy thing!!!

I just ordered some polarized progressive sunglasses from Wiley X. I used my frames I already had from them. Cost was $240, I caught the Fathers Day sale which lowered the cost some.

Quit Bassmaster several years ago. I have every copy from 1980 to 2000 including the special edition Bassmaster Classic issues.

I thought they would be quick to sell but now that I used them, I am glad they didn't sell. I guess I should make sure I really don't like something before I put it up for sale. ?

Couldn't edit original post. Rods off market. Tried them for the first time and decided to keep them.

Got hooked last year on a crank. The hardest part was convincing my wife to pull the braid!!!
