Fishin' Fool Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I've been really bad (or good depending on your perspective) this off season about ignoring the rod monkey in my head. He has talked me into buying the following: 1) 7'6" Dobyns Champion Extreme spinning medium light 2) 7' St Croix Avid X medium fast casting rod 3) 7'7" Daiwa Zillion crankbait rod 4) 7' Dobyns Fury 705CB medium 5) 7'3" St Croix rage medium spinning rod I know....I know...maybe 4 too many??? What's your favorite in the list? 1 Quote
Cgrinder Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hopefully you're getting these on sale. No need to pay retail in February, though I am hearing of some open water in places. Solid rods for St. Clair though, depending on what you throw. Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Ya all on sale except the Avid X which I had gift cards for. I seriously need to stop looking online....ever.....again Quote

Fishin' Fool Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 How do I insert pictures? I'm not tech savvy enough to figure this out. I was mistaken about one rod. The Rage is actually the Avid Neo which I got half off from the St Croix website. But I think it's basically the same as the Rage. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 5, 2016 Super User Posted February 5, 2016 Drag the pic and drop it in the box or choose the file from your PC and upload it. Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 I just use my phone. Can you do it that way? Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted February 6, 2016 Super User Posted February 6, 2016 Click "click to choose files" find your picture and insert it. Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 The Avid X just got delivered today. I'll see if I can round up the others. 1 Quote

Super User ChrisD46 Posted February 6, 2016 Super User Posted February 6, 2016 Wish I could help - but I'm currently doing a rehab stint at : "Blissful Bait Monkey Treatment Center" ... With any luck I'll be out before the Spring sales start ! 1 Quote

RB 77 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah, the monkey got you alright! Haha. Nice haul. 1 Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Still trying to figure out my favorite. It may be the Avid X. It's light as a feather! Quote
WPCfishing Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I bought another IKE rod a coupe weeks ago. 7' medium, 70-5. I'm all set with what I have now. 9 rods are enough for me to catch as many bass as my ability will allow! 1 Quote
KP Duty Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 How does that zillion feel in hand? I'm in the market for a 7'6"-7'11" 1/4-3/4oz crankbait rod and that's one I've considered. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 7, 2016 Super User Posted February 7, 2016 Wow. Forget the rods..................those are a couple nice fish. Congratulations on the new rods. I was at a Sports Academy today for the first time. There were a few rods I wouldn't have minded taking home, but managed to dodge the Bait Monkey. Mainly because 4 new reels have been delivered to my home the past 5-6 days. The 7' Medium Medium-Fast Crucial is a beautiful looking rod, and is an action I only have one rod in. Good thing there was no sale going on. How about some reviews once you get a chance to use those new rods? 1 Quote
