I dont usually post these threads but looking for some insight from some of you guys who have used them.Ive narrowed it down to 3.The Tatula XT 7'4' HXF,The Dobyns Fury 765Flip and the iRod Gen II 7'5" Freds Magic Stick.Im well aware of the love for the 765.Im more interested on the thoughts of other two.Anyone have experience with the XT or the irod??

It was in store.I have it rigged up.I like the way it feels in hand.I know its not top quality but like i said at 30$ its was worth a look based on my experience with other Abu Garcia products.The rod blank weighs 5.1 oz. if it helps any. This is also the 7' MM casting rod.

That lightning shock is 40 bucks at walmart and a great buy.A lot of us have them.I have the ML spinning rod and i wouldnt call it whippy.Its not stiff but its far from flimsy.I bought the medium vengeance a few weeks ago but haven't gotten to try it out yet.I didn't pass it up at 30 bucks since i have never had an issue with any Abu product i have owned.I plan to use it for crankbaits.All this talk about whippy rods makes me want to go to BPS and go play in the UL aisle making all the rods go "swoosh". You guys know what im talking about.You cant help it.

Saaaaame here.The fish will never see it coming!I've been eying the CT Type R too.

No cons at all for me.Mine is going on its 4th season as strong as ever.Keep up cleaning/oil/lube and that reel is a work horse.

Was thinking about going today.Then I encountered crazy wind upon leaving work.Almost there guys.Its almost there.

X2 Check out Siebertoutdoors.com

Is it worth super tuning a brand new reel?

Swapping hands takes a nanosecond.Its all preference.What's ridiculous is that someone cares how others prefer to reel.

Im hoping to say its the Siebert outdoors dredge brush jig after this season! They sure look nice.

Excellent combo under 100 bucks! The only thing I dislike about the Lightning is the hook keeper.It always catches my line.I solved that by removing it lol.

Another vote for 3/8

thats a great find.

I learned baitcasting on my Abu Garcia Silver max combo.Havent bought another combo since.It wasnt terrible,it was a learning tool and i got it for 15 bucks.You cant go wrong with the Berkley lightning/silver max for 90 bucks.

Lucic was one of the loafiest MFers I ever saw play the game. I'm also convinced Kevan Miller can fight.You see that 1st punch today @A-Jay

During the hard water period I play video games to pass the time.Do anyofyou play Madden or NHL on ps3??If so what's your handle? Yes anyofyou is o e word.It wasn't a mistake lol

I hope I'm still tearing it up at 74.Bless your heart man.

We all hated the boychuck deal.The Seguin deal too.Peter was a peter if you get my drift.I hope they don't do the same with Brandon Carlo.That kid paired with Mcavoy is going to be a killer 1st line D pairing.

I appreciate that.Not many say they like the noseface killah! He's a pest but man can he score. Do they own both like the bills and the islanders??

Weren't they still the Nordiques back in the early 90's? Being a Wings fan Pavel going back to Russia must've been a major bummer.The Nordiques logo is still my favorite of all time.Those colors were great.

I like it.A reasonable setup and not a "dream rig"

Could be a Hartford whalers fan soon!

For sure.Cassidy is letting them do their thing.Claude would never.Can't always just "get back" sometimes you have to make a play.

1 loss since firing Claude.Should have happened a month prior.Might be in better position if they had.

Any other hockey fans on here?? I myself am a Bruins fan.
