Super User BASSclary Posted January 28, 2011 Super User Posted January 28, 2011 Dobyns 733 that I really didn't need. Waiting for it to arrive in the next couple of days. Thank God for no ice outs here in sunny south Florida. Is that the Savvy or Champion or Champ Extreme ? Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted January 28, 2011 Super User Posted January 28, 2011 Savvy. Came in unexpectedly today. I've got a 703 Champion on order as well. I'm not ready to drop the cash on a Champion Extreme. Thats a bit out of my price range. I may have to sell a Crucial or two soon.... Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 28, 2011 Super User Posted January 28, 2011 Maybe a later in February I could take those off your hands Quote
Fat-G Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Savvy. Came in unexpectedly today. I've got a 703 Champion on order as well. I'm not ready to drop the cash on a Champion Extreme. Thats a bit out of my price range. I may have to sell a Crucial or two soon.... Eric, keep us updated on the Champion, probably be my next rod. Fishin' it with braid right? Quote
Fat-G Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Cumara 7'2 MHF that BETTER get here today, 2 spools of PowerPro, the forementioned Curado, and in 364 days a G19. Quote

Fishin' it with braid right? I actually cancelled the order on my Champion after playing around with the Savvy for a while. I am completely impressed with that rod. It just oozes quality. I'm sure I'll wind up getting the Champion before too long anyway, but if the entire Savvy lineup is this good, who knows. As far as I understand, the blanks are the same between the Savvy and the Champion, there are just different components used. Better cork, guides, hook keeper, etc etc. I definitely like the color scheme of the Savvy more. As far as the braid goes, I played around a bit with some fluoro and co-poly mainlines, back to braid though. Plenty of sensitivity with both of them, but I'm a braid with a leader kind of person. I just love having that instant hook setting power at any distance. Quote
Carrington Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 just bought 2 jb custom rods and a shimano ci4 in the 2500 size Quote

Although I just looked and realized the Savvy 766 doesn't have the cutout reel seat...wonder why? Quote
Fat-G Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Sufix 832, 3 bags of Rage Craws, and a Coca-Cola. Quote

Stasher1 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 20# & 30# PowerPro 30# Sufix Performance braid 3 Renosky spinnerbaits 4 bags Charmer floating worms 2 bags Rage Tail Space Monkey 2 bags NetBait Baby Mad Paca 3 bags Zoom Brush Hogs Pflueger Supreme XT (9235) 6'6" MH BPS Carbonlite spinning rod Bought the Supreme XT/Carbonlite combo @ BPS for $200, so the rod only cost me $50. I still think the guides are crap, but there's no denying the sensitivity of the blank. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm actually impressed. :-[ Quote
NewAngler Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Over the past 5 months I've spent lik3 $2K on buying back my freedom. Does that count? Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 31, 2011 Super User Posted January 31, 2011 I have not bought something fishing related in about 8 months... Quote
jeremyt Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Just bought a 06 tracker 175. Then a HB 798 along with a navionics chip and a new motorguide for it. Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I just ordered some semi-finished (painted, but no eyes or top coat) spinnerbait heads from NorthStar. This will allow me to compare different blade, skirt, and arm length configurations without swapping components while I'm on the water. Quote
CSimon2 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Saturday I bought the River 2 Sea Diving Frog. I cannot wait to use it. My only concern is the legs on this thing. I can see a bass snapping the legs off pretty easily. Quote
Fat-G Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Rage Craws, Hawgs, Lobsters, and Smokin' Roosters. Also a pack of Fat Ikas. Quote
