Some whopper ploppers and beast coast skirts.

I don't get much free time outside of work, that's my home away from home. So I invest heavily in what I enjoy and that happens to be fishing. I go whenever I get the free time and can afford to sacrifice sleep, my son will be a year old this year so I am going to enjoy him and try to help my other two kids along with my wife to learn some more about fishing.

I will second the tatula, there good reels for the money, the DC reels are nice I have one and use it occasionally. Although for the most part all of my other reels are non DC and I feel the extra money can help you get a higher quality reel or whatever else you need to go with.

Thank you and I will. I was waiting for my local shop to get them in, I was in the backroom picking out the rods I wanted that were not labeled or on the shelves yet. I was talking to the guy about rods and look down at the boxes he was unpacking and I saw the reels, that's when I knew that I was leaving with a new reel also.

Well I made it two days, this time consists of 1 megabass orochi xx perfect pitch 1 megabass orochi xx launcher 1 shimano Curado hg 150 mgl

In my area I would say D&R sports center, I haven't ventured too far from Allegan, Kalamazoo County. Although I did stop at sportmans warehouse in Lansing while making a car payment, they had quite a bit of different rods that I haven't seen around here yet.

At this point maybe king Kong lol.

I have been looking at these quite a bit, I noticed on one of the sites had a shallow spool for $110.00 I think.

I might use it a little for frogging, I am thinking that it might be ok for some light punching and some 1.5oz grass jigs. I thought about waiting for the new ones to be released, but I figured why not give it a try. I have noticed that the new Expride rods have a different action to them, although I don't go off of what it says until it's in my hands and I can compare it to other rods in the store.I was highly considering buying a p5 destroyer rod, the x-bites but it just felt a little softer than what I was looking for.

Thank you. Yes it is definitely on steroids.

Picked up the last of my stuff on my order 1 NRX+ 894c Jwr 7'5 heavy fast 1 shimano expride A 7'3 xhvy fast 1 metanium b hg reel 7.1 ratio 1 daiwa zillion sv tw g 7.1 ratio I should be good for a minute, or maybe a second. The monkey is strong lol.

Thank you. I have wanted to try the original nrx 894 but the only time I saw one local I didn't have the money. I recall hearing a lot about the 873 and legend glass rods being really good. It's been a little over a year since I saw one, so I had to grab it when I seen it this time. That brings my Loomis collection up to 5 rods now, 843 and 844mbr conquest, 894 JWR glx and now these two NRX+. It's slowly coming together. Now if only this ice would go to be able to test them out. Then add my last rod purchase before it iced up a st croix victory mh f I have five new rods to put through there paces. I am going to be very busy in a good way.

Four rods St croix legend glass 7'2 medium moderate St croix legend xtreme 7'4 heavy fast NRX+ 873c crr 7'3 med heavy fast NRX+ 854c Jwr 7'1 heavy fast Still have a couple reels to get tomorrow.

Some more Berkley max scent plastics 3 packs Lil general 1 pack Lil trooper 1 pack king tail 1 pack chigger craw Yep I might have enough max scent plastics to form my opinion on it this year, I have probably 50 or more other packs of maxscent assorted plastics lol.

That's understandable. Yeah I have taken my low profile reels apart to service them and have found out the hard way that you need a space that's flat and well lit with no holes in the floor lol. First time doing it on a reel my friend gave me and I lost a washer in between the deck boards. I stole some parts from a reel I wasn't using and now it works. Thanks for the heads up on the worm gears.

Thanks, I am sure that I will like it. I have been meaning to get another round reel for a while now. My last one I had was a Calcutta 400 on a musky rod, that started my appreciation of round reels.

Welcome from Kalamazoo County.

Finally got time to take my daughter out Christmas shopping for me lol, a couple jerkbaits some cranks and a few lipless, last but not least some plastics. I have been wanting to try out the googan scout jerkbait for about a year now, saw a kit at dicks that came with both the full size and a Jr so I figured why not. They had a sale buy one kit and get on 50% off. Then we stopped at Ollie's and I grabbed some lucky craft lures for $7 a piece so not too bad. My jerkbait box is slowly getting there, some megabass, jackal, spro, Berkley, yo zuri, duo realis, lucky craft, Rapala and probably something else I can not remember lol.

Looks really good to me, I like the blades and head shape. The skirt is nice also.

I have enough stuff, I probably could open a small store lol. I keep collecting for some reason, oh look a new color gotta try that. Oh well could be doing worse things with my money I think ?.
