Re: Opportunity for a Kistler Helium lta?

If I’m not mistaken then it’s probably the in between. So is it worth the 75 dollars. Like I said a new helium is about 419.99

Opportunity for a Kistler Helium lta?

Wondering if you guys think it’s worrh it? I know there older rods but I’m not sure if it’s a fair price. It’s a friend of friends rod. I’m great shape. It’s was produced in the later years of production on these rods. He’s asking 75 dollars for it. It’s a 7’ Medium Heavy Fast Action 1/8-3/4 lure ra...

Re: New Senko/Neko Rod

I picked up a few new spinning rods last season and played a lot with a 5” senko. Both rods were fantastic to use. First was a rod I bought primarily for walleye, 6’6” g. Loomis e6x med fast paired with a Stradic CI4 + and second is a st. Croix Avid x 7’ med fast action paired with a shimano nasci. ...

Looking for my first 2 baitcaster!

I’m looking at getting myself my first baitcaster, something to do a little everything thing I guess. Second rod will be for pitching and flipping. I’ve never done it but I’m super intrigued by that style of fishing. First rod I’m looking into getting is a dobyns champion xp 734 sh with a diawa tatu...

Re: First baitcaster. Little advice needed

Thank you everyone for your responses! I'm still so confused on what rod to get!! Between a med/heavy and a heavy. Something rated for up to 1oz or look for something rated more on the 1oz-1 1/2oz. I was able to get my hands on the st. croix legend tournament again and the envy black and really like...

Re: First baitcaster. Little advice needed

Another rod i would recommend and that is below the price of the others you mentioned is the Daiwa Tatula Elite 7'3" MH "All Purpose" rod. They are really good at many things. I have used mine for 1/2oz trigs, jigs, swim jigs, swim baits, spinnerbaits, senkos, finesse jigs, etc... does a lot of thi...

Re: First baitcaster. Little advice needed

I forgot to mention I live in Canada and dobyns are a little harder to find. St. Croix are everywhere and 13 fishing is getting very popular so easy to come by where abouts? Southern Ontario! That's pretty large area. Checkout Pro Js in Scarborough, Gagnons in oshawa, JB in Etobicoke, or Pro Advant...

Re: First baitcaster. Little advice needed

The first rod that came to mind after reading your post was the Dobyns Champion 735c. Great company, with a warranty and customer service that can't be beat. It will pair well with the reels on your list. Probably one of the most versatile rods in my lineup. Frogs, Senkos, Spinner bait, medium cran...

First baitcaster. Little advice needed

Decided I want a baitcaster after getting to use one for about a week! I'd like to get a decent rod, something to "do it all" so to say as it's my first baitcaster. I'm looking at the st. croix legend tournament bass, 13 fishing envy black, or a dobyns champion series rod. I currently fish mainly ba...
