The monkey is strong this week... Now about the WP 110, sigh. Where is that DSG email? That stealth looks and feels awesome on that rod! My son has 2 of those combos. Feather light together. 1 Quote

Feather light together. that's what I was hoping! Of course the reel is up at the shop for winter maintenance, so I can't even put them together and play with it yet. Jonesin to get it out on the water and give it a spin it should be just over 10oz together, I may have to actually add butt weight to be comfortable with it lol 1 Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 @mllrtm79 balances perfectly imo. About 1" above the reel seat. I often find myself stealing one of these combos from my boy. Awesome frog, paddle tail swimbait and jig rod. You'll like it! 1 Quote

TylerT123 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I bought a Shimano Curado 200 K, a Savage Gear Gray Topwater Bat, and a cheap starting fly outfit. I received a classic iBobber this Christmas as well. Need to get a rod for my Curado, shipping it to be repaired soon. Quote

Pro Logcatcher Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I already took the stuff out, but just went on a quick buying run. 3 Quote
WI_Angler1989 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I picked up the last Whopper Plopper 90 in the clear chartreuse Sooner color from Scheels today. I think it'll work really well on the Smallies on the rivers on those cloudy or choppy days when the Perch color isnt producing. I also grabbed a few packs of Kalin's Spot Stalker jigs for grub fishing. Gonna try 1/16 oz out. Last year the 1/8 oz worked great, but occasionally I couldn't keep it up off of the bottom in the faster currents. 2 Quote

Kalin's are my favorite grubs for trailers on my spinnerbaits and rigged with a Kalin's darter head. I really like the range of sizes, 3, 4,or 5 inch. Lets you tailor the bait to the basses preference. Quote
