To be honest, up until 4 years ago I thought $100 rods were top of the line. Then I found the latest tackle purchase thread on bass resource. I believe there are great rods at every price point. Jump in where you can and have fun.

Yup jerkbait, popper, light t rig, weightless plastics, finess jig. The list goes on and on.

I have a 6’6” medium fast casting it’s one of my favorite rods. Its 1/4-5/8’s, you can do allot in that range as long as the cover isn’t to heavy. Great setup for one rod to beat the banks with.

Yeah, I messed up it’s 6’-10”

It’s 6’-8”. It say it’s a heavy but it’s closer to medium heavy. Really cool rod. Sorry it’s 6’-10”

I have the falcon head turner, but in the expert line up. It’s awesome with any single hook moving bait. Jason christy uses the Cara head turner for spinnerbaits, and he’s the man with a spinnerbait. It’s super sensitive and pretty versatile.

Is the order process the same.

3/8’s zman in bluegill has been the most consistent for me.

Wishing you the best.

Same, half on half off. And never change.

That’s pretty awesome

That’s hilarious. I feel like I need to show the Swiss army first aid kit I keep in the work truck. It’s really something, complete with the compass that doesn’t work. The kit itself is pretty good though. I’ve found when I don’t have a first aid kit. I never need one. As soon as I get an new one some one ruins it.

Love seeing pics of new gear, and fish on them.

Had mine out for the first time today. Took a little longer to dial in then the k. Having six breaks took a touch more fine tuning. Smooth as a currado should be. All and all I like it. It will probably be the new go to when I need a new reel. Goes well with a 6’8” mh expride for finesse jigs and light t rigs

First time out and First one of the season. Little one but I’ll take it. Finesse jig with a menace for a trailer. Boy it felt good to be out.

Lol, I couldn’t help myself. Didn’t realize I had that many different kinds of rage craws. I think lightning craw and moon juice is gonna be the big winner here. But time will tell.

Black chartreuse with chartreuse pepper Sorry about the doubles, that was allot going on.

Yup I did it lightning craw with moon juice black blue with blue sapphire different black blue with blue swamp water Black red with black neon Green pumpkin black with green pumpkin black Green pumpkin orange with water melon red Green pumpkin purple with tequila sunrise

I have one of each. The two I have are Not really a apples to apples comparison. If you are getting a bottom contact rod I would go cara. You can lcount grains of sand with the 6’11” heavy. My expert is also super sensitive for a mod fast. Both fantastic, you won’t be disappointed either way.

You’re clearly gonna get me in trouble for having jigs and craws all over the table tomorrow

I would have to go with a t rigged rage craw in gp purple flake. Craws have alway got more attention for me.

That thing is sweet

Your I’m for a real treat. Congrats. that comment about your new gear preferences and start saving up is no joke.

Those look great. #2 would be a killer here. You have me pretty close to pulling out the new jigs and trailers to play this game.

You could always go to Walmart, show them the pic and demand they sell you that kayak. Should be a good time.
