Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits

Excellent suggestions all around. I am really liking the Nories and EG suggestions (always been partial to EG) based on what I've read so far. Will let ya know which rod makes the cut!

Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits

Hey TT Fam -

Looking for Recs for a JDM or high end rod for moving baits in the 3/8 - 1oz range. Lipless cb, shallow-med divers, and small swimbaits on jig heads/screw locks.

Will be paired with a metanium 6.2:1.

Thanks!
Chris

Re: El Salto Recommendations??

Hey guys, Back stateside late Sunday and I have to say El Salto definitely lives up to the legend! Angler's Inn is a great lodge and the service and experience were fantastic. Leading into the trip, Tammi from AI provided regular updates and gear suggestions so I had a good idea of what to bring. Fr...

Re: El Salto Recommendations??

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas! It's close to game-time and I'll be flying out on July 4th. So far I've gotten the terminal tackle and bait situation pretty much nailed down based on what I've read online and the reports and suggestions from Tammi at Angler's Inn who's been super helpful. Sti...

Angler's Inn is it.. Zander wrote them up a while ago: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewanglersinn.html Hey Cal, Do you have any suggestions on logistics? I’ve heard some will check their tackle(baits/hooks/line/weight) and carry on reels. I run a Loomis tackle bag that holds all the various 3700 si...

Re: El Salto Recommendations??

I would recommend the Anglers Inn. My wife sent me there for my 50th birthday and it was incredible. The fishing is out of this world. If your wife is going, she would appreciate the beautiful scenery, spa, delicious food and a staff that is first class. We’ve been to Hawaii, Europe, the Caribbean ...

I had that reel for many years! It was great!
That's the one! Legend in my book - long retired but a permanent fixture in the tackle collection

Re: Evergreen GT2RS-C71MH Super Stallion

PM replied - hope this helps with your buying decision. For what it's worth I have really enjoyed fishing this rod this past few weeks. If you're an EG fan, you won't be disappointed.
