    I'm not sure what level of enthusiast you are but I'd say it's a nice mid level set up. After using a G Loomis NRX for a while and then switching back to the Carbonlite 1.0 I wanted to toss it in the trash. Yes it's a good deal for the price.
  2. Fishin' Fool
    They also have inexpensive reels that can be purchased for like $5 or $10 that are donated to various fishing groups as mentioned above.

    I don't like it. But I also didn't put line conditioner on and do a little dance and whatever else makes it work for others. If P-line CX worksfor you why change?
  4. Fishin' Fool
    I like 12 pound P-line CX for cranking. I wasn't a big fan of that Red Label. Definitely a lot of memory issues.

    15 pound SX1 to 7 pound Sunline Sniper fluorocarbon leader.

    To me an underspin represents a finesse spinnerbait.

    If you have $180 to spend on the rod. Wait out a TW sale and pick up a St Croix Avid or Avid X. I'd say ML or M at most. St Croix runs on the heavy side of power. FYI Dobyns runs on the lighter side of power.

    What are your water temps where you are at? I like slow and steady best but some days they may want it fast.
  9. Fishin' Fool
    Try an underspin with a Keitech off the back.
  10. Fishin' Fool
    Whatever you do, DO NOT tie a TRD worm to the bottom of that rig instead of the drop shot weight

    Where are you from? I have a Carbonlite 7'2" medium fast rod with a Johnny Morris 2500 spinning reel I wouldn't mind getting rid of.
  12. Fishin' Fool
    That's tough to answer because rods 2 & 3 probably would be best suited as casting rods. I think for rod 1 you are looking for a short rod 6'6" to 6'10". I'd say ML to M power at most.

    Dude I'm from Michigan near St Clair but I know what those Northern Michigan Lakes are like. Deep and ultra clear. You're better off with a spinning rod and light line but to each his own. @A-Jay is a northern Michigan bass expert. Follow this guys posts and you'll be on em in no time.

    Depends where you are fishing? It's probably a good worm rod. Personally I like a good fluorocarbon or P-line CX line in 12 pound. Best of luck.
  15. Fishin' Fool
    That's a good buy for $82.

    It seems like the Japanese rod companies have a good handle on the finesse market. Give a good consideration to the Daiwa Elite rods, Megabass (the Levante spinning rod gets good reviews on TW even though the same isn't true of the casting rod) and @WRBTom seems to always recommend Major Craft rods.
  17. Fishin' Fool
    This is coming from someone who was 100% spinning rods until the last few years. Get yourself a nice 6'8" to 7'2" Medium or medium light fast or extra fast action rod.
  18. Fishin' Fool
    I would think you'd be more likely to experience a stress break in extreme cold weather but what do I know. I guess this would be a question for someone from Loomis or Shimano.
  19. Fishin' Fool
    Look into some $200 rods. There are some nice choices there too. Daiwa Elites, St Croix Avid,
  20. Fishin' Fool
    It's not a magic stick. Does it fit your budget? I have a NRX 872s. It's a great rod but it didn't make me KVD
  21. Fishin' Fool
    I believe demo rods are rods that are brought to fishing shows and the like and have been thoroughly handled. As far as I understand the full warranty still applies. It's a nice way to get a high end rod at a discount.
  22. Fishin' Fool
    I wouldn't eliminate G Loomis GLX rods too if I were you. Check out The Tackle Trap and you may find demo rod for a great price. I like my newly designed GLX 892s.
  23. Fishin' Fool
    I have my rods in the garage right now but it's been such a cold winter I'm considering moving them downstairs in the basement. Anybody have any evidence that the cold temps are bad for my rods?
  24. Fishin' Fool
    Keep a separate reel with heavy braid (65 to 80 pound test) and you're good to go. If you like froggin' then you might want to get another rod at that point.
  25. Fishin' Fool
    Thanks. I didn't even catch that it was XX vs XXX. Just saw 2017. Thought it was a newer version.
