I bought the 702 ssm model, for dropshot and Ned rig applications in the middle of March. I'm in Ohio as well and I've only had it out for maybe an hour or so but the balance and the feel of the rod is great. It was too cold for any bites so I haven't felt how it feels with a fish on yet but otherwise it's appears to be great rod. It can really cast even the smaller ned rigs out a mile.

I have a few pairs of Maui Jims in various lens and styles. I prefer their brand over all others. I get a new pair once a year, my eye doctor recommended I have eye protection from the sun when outdoors. Since I don't buy regular glasses frames my vision insurance covers most (usually 70-90% depending on the retail price) of whatever higher end sunglasses I choose provided I get them directly from the Eye Doctor's office. It's a deal I can't pass up.

I order a couple in few different sizes and models to try them out. Rigged a couple up for dropshot and they held the plastic worm quite well. My 6 year old used one for a nightcrawer. It held the live bait extremely well even after multiple casts. Fished with them for about an hour but it was too cold nothing was biting. OnthePotomac is absolutely correct. They are super super sharp, sharpest hooks I've ever messed with by far.

I live in central Ohio and I started getting back into fishing this year after many years without it. I often times go fishing with my 5 year old. I definitely a novice and I came to this site to gather (read as steal) insights and tips from more experienced anglers and experts. After spending sometime here it only makes sense to register and become active on the forum. I am currently trying to teach myself how to use a baitcaster as I bought my first setup yesterday.
