Super User fishballer06 Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 Just got the 3000 in yesterday. Can't wait to use it! Â Â 6 Quote
fisherrw Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Just got the 3000 in yesterday. Can't wait to use it! Â Â sweet looking reel, if you don't mind shoot me a pm after you have used it and let me know what you think! Quote
fisherrw Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 How good are the rod/reel sales on black friday typically? TW is generally a 15 or 20% off all rods and reels except megabass and shimano I believe... 2 Quote
Fried Lemons Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Just got the 3000 in yesterday. Can't wait to use it!   I've been eyeing that reel and am somewhat torn between the 2500 and 3000. I'd like to know what you think of that reel once you've fished it a bit. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted November 4, 2015 Super User Posted November 4, 2015 How good are the rod/reel sales on black friday typically? Â TW has done 20% off on most of the stock on black friday, including rods and reels (although maybe not all of them?), and that's on top of individual markdowns, as I understand. I would have my eye on the Kistler Magnesium TS's currently running about 30% off on TW...if you got 20% on top of that, it would be highway robbery. Â Lots of individual manufacturers will do their own sales around then, including possibly some BR sponsors who may announce it here with a post. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted November 4, 2015 Super User Posted November 4, 2015 Line Pic? I guess I never thought of that. Are they really helpful? I want one of those rods too.  Forgot I did pick these up just because they were staring at me.  Overheard at a DSG, not long ago:  MY WIFE: "Zooms"? Don't you have enough of those already?  ME: No. Quote

I guess I'm going to start. Now I just need a reel...  Quote

Can't wait to give them a try, not bad for a two brand new rods that retailed for $130 each! 1 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted November 5, 2015 Super User Posted November 5, 2015 the Pflueger supreme casting reel is a good beginner reel Thanks -- I have been looking at those. I have two Pfleuger spinning reels and love them. Â Â I just ordered two of them myself! Got both shipped to my door for $116! Can't wait to give them a try, not bad for a two brand new rods that retailed for $130 each! Â I was thinking I should have bought two also, one of each of the 1-piece models they had left. Quote
illinifan4152 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 That's exactly what I did. One 6'9 MHF and one 6'10 MHMF. Wish they had some spinning... That's what I really needed, this was more of an impulse. Too good of a deal to pass up. Been looking to try a Fenwick for a while now. Interested to see how it compares to my Arsenal of St Croix avids. Quote

Rick Howard Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 My past 20 years of purchases were small. Every few years a rod and reel combo to replace one that needed replacing, a pack of plastic worms or other expendables here and there... replace a lost spinner, floating minnow, or buzz bait. I recently moved into our summer cottage and am converting it into a year round home. So it's kind of a fishing expenditure... Just don't tell Mrs. H that lol. So.... I had to expand my equipment for the extra fishing time that the future holds. 2x Fenwick eagle casting rods 2x gander mountain casting reels (cork handle model) Fenwick hmx casting Rod Abu Garcia Ora casting reel Fenwick eagle spinning rod Pflueger president spinning reel Pflueger supreme spinning reel O yeah. Bought a boat. It's an oldie. 79 glastron with 115 Johnson. I strapped a 70lbs Minn Kota edge tolling motor on the bow. It beats the row boat with a 9.5hp Johnson that sometimes worked. Other than some jig making supplies my tackle purchases have been the same. Although, Since joining this forum I have seen a few things I might want to try. I know a fella who started making rods.... We talked.... I'm doomed..... 2 Quote
