VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Btw... I mostly fish 1/16th oz inline spinners, t-rigged beasts weightless in heavy cover, and swimbaits. I intend to use braid, on a Citica B with upgraded spool, handle, and a sweet set of knobs. 1

ABW Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Spiderman combo from Walmart should get the job done 2
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 I've had the Spider-man, but setting the hook in the grass really was a chore. Plus the line was kinda sticky. Also, I found $3.75 and some coupons that have so small cash value, so the budget has opened up a bit... 1
Super User A-Jay Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Hang on he'll see it soon enough. A-Jay 1
Super User F14A-B Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Oh hey sqirmin wormin, your back! Shitmano is a good rod at exactly 102.50 after the turkey day rebate...
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 I heard the shima"no fish" rods were junk, so I don't want one. What's a good Shakespeare, berkley or Jerry Garcia rod in that range? Maybe a Loomis, but I hate the GL2s even though I've never fished them. I've got $106.85 now after looking in my car.

Super User F14A-B Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Lol... Idk... North Korea has recently introduced a signature series Kim Jong il model.. It's called the launcher series, I hear most folks are in the dark and starved over this series.. Oh, but my sources say it's " da bomb " Edit: soon to come , A Dennis Rodman transgender model.... 3
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 I've see those North Korea models. Word on the street is that they're not very accurate and cast jus splash down. Also heard someone caught five world records in a day on them, may have been that Kim Jong guy. Must be why his name's on it. 1
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Totally just clicked a real thread in the Fishing a Tackle forum thinking it was this one....
Super User F14A-B Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Ok, so I just chatted with my buddy on evilbay, he's got the Jerry Garcia model, the Deadhead stix model... He has about every rod in the world out in his shed, anyway, he wants 69.69 for it.. I told him you found some change in your boat and that added up to 106.85... He said he will let it go for 106.85... Let me know
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 What kind of boat is it? I don't want anything that's touched a Triton. 2
Super User K_Mac Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think any rod priced below $900 is worth owning. Preferably they should be handmade in Japan by artisans who have been trained from birth, devoting their lives to making the perfect fishing rod.
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think any rod priced below $900 is worth owning. Preferably they should be handmade in Japan by artisans who have been trained from birth, devoting their lives to making the perfect fishing rod. While I have found this to be very true, I have found some very serviceable rods in the $7-$42 price range. They may not do anything well, but they do hurt less when I snap them boat flipping dinks. Which is all I catch. If I catch anything. Ever.
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think any rod priced below $900 is worth owning. Preferably they should be handmade in Japan by artisans who have been trained from birth, devoting their lives to making the perfect fishing rod. This is also false. I want that training to start in utero. Birth is too late to expose the fetus to the find arts. Even in the womb that fetus can learn the different tapers and be indoctrinated into the joy of fine cork.
Super User F14A-B Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I heard the woman's frown upon rod development in the womb, said it was a American thing... Oh, he said the boat ain't for sale, but the shed is..
adam lancia Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Whichever rod you get, be sure the muffler bearings are installed in the correct orientation from the factory and that the flux capacitor isn't cracked. The last thing to be sure of are the power bands, the chartreuse Moose ones are especially fragile...
VolFan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 The problem I'm having is finding a left handed rod...plenty of righties out there, but they might as well be unicorn horns. 1
Super User F14A-B Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I couldn't locate a unicorn anywhere, I was able to find a black powder horn though, it's been cut into 3 pieces but it's still a horn, but honestly, I'm not sure if its a lefty or righty... I will ask...
Super User new2BC4bass Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Daiwa Tatula rods at walmart $89-$114 powers ML-M-MH-H http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=tatula%20rod Thanks. Had forgotten to check here lately. Have the 7' ML on its way. Unfortunately not the best deal at $89.02. Had to include $5.34 tax in price. Hate paying tax. Should have bought from that other store for $123.39 with free shipping and no tax. BTW, forgot to check if left hand or right hand. Anyone know which hand it is? Is this rod made in Korea or North Vietnam? I'd prefer Singapore. Or maybe from one of those artsy places in Paris. Finish would be sooooo much classier.
