thehooligan Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Nice bass, what model crucial did you get, and how do you like it ? Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 That's a great way to start off with a new rod!! Nice fish!! Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted September 4, 2014 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2014 Nice bass, what model crucial did you get, and how do you like it ?It's the CRC-SG68MHB. 6'8 Med. Hvy. fast.Seems sensitive enough. It feels more like a heavy than med. hvy. Light enough, paired with one of my Curado i's. Hootie P.S. I caught the fish with a R I Sweet Beaver, 4.20, color, Hematoma. 1 Quote
John G Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Nice bass? Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a large spider on your boat? Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 4, 2014 Super User Posted September 4, 2014 That's the right way to break in a new rod. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 4, 2014 Super User Posted September 4, 2014 Nice bass? Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a large spider on your boat? I noticed the big spider too... Glad your liking your new rod! 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted September 4, 2014 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2014 Nice bass? Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a large spider on your boat? Very observant, yes it was. I flicked him out of the boat once and a few minutes later, I noticed that he was back....lol. Hootie Quote
Arv Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Hematoma is one of my favorite colors. Nice fish! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted September 4, 2014 Super User Posted September 4, 2014 Nice Job Hootie! That's the way to do it!! Quote
kschultz76 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Great fish, not many feelings better then landing that first fish with a new piece of equipment. And thanks, now I have to go add some Sweet Beavers to my TW order so I can compare them the Strike King Rodents I've been using. 1 Quote

Super User FishTank Posted September 5, 2014 Super User Posted September 5, 2014 Nicely done. How does it feel with the Curado? I have a Curado G and the previous version of the Crucial (Crankbait rod). They seem to made for each other. Quote
