Low_Budget_Hooker Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Well, thanks to Glenn, I took the new Revo STX he got me and put it on this 6-6 MH Spidershaft I found in "flea market". 24 lbs of drag, I hope I get the chance to use each one Quote

Super User Tin Posted April 5, 2008 Super User Posted April 5, 2008 After our little talk yesterday I can't believe Mr.Hopper said reel grips. ;D He must have your place bugged or something. Quote
slomoe Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Awesome! I really like those Spidershafts....they get harder and harder to find every day. Oh yeah, the STX aint bad either. x2. I came across this in the flea market and was really thinking about it. Looks great with the reel. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted April 5, 2008 Author Posted April 5, 2008 Spider shaft some info please? A series of rods made by Mitchell for spiderwire. Low-mid range rods, they retailed for $49-$59. Discontinued in 2004, they are often sought by previous spidershaft owners. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted April 5, 2008 Super User Posted April 5, 2008 Sweet outfit, Russ. I think you'll really like that STX. Falcon Quote
Chad. Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Spider shaft some info please? A series of rods made by Mitchell for spiderwire. Low-mid range rods, they retailed for $49-$59. Discontinued in 2004, they are often sought by previous spidershaft owners. That reel just screams loomis 844 imx to me. ;D Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Well, the rod isn't quite the same weapon as I have found the original med power shafts (the ones y'all see in many of my vids) to be. I hooked into this 5.4 on day 1 with the new combo and didn't even know it was a fish till it was 1/2 way up,lol. My c-bait was just skimming the top of the weedbed perfectly so I was grabbing weeds every few casts. I thought this was just another "clump",lol It'll work for now but a custom is in order when the cash flow returns, most definitely. ps- Another big thanks to Glenn for the gift, it got me my first 5 lbr. This reel casts a country mile!!! Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted April 8, 2008 Super User Posted April 8, 2008 You're going to have to change your screen name! : Absolutely. You can't be runnin around with an STX on a custom stick, and call yourself low budget anything. ;D ;D ;D Quote
