How low have you been able to go with the Lexa? I'm interested in getting one for cranking, but I need to be able to throw small hardbaits with it. I can throw tiny 1/8oz cranks with it with some easy. For the untrained thumb it can be somewhat difficult though. I think the Lexa excels in lures 1/4...

But I absolutely love this combo. For just over $200 its really hard to beat, IMO. The 13 Omen series is extremely nice for its price point, and absolutely blows away other rods in the $99 range as far as cosmetics and sensitivity (of course both of those arent facts, just opinions). This 6'7" M is ...

I had a Shimano Calcutta 50tegt on a Daiwa Steez rod

Native Ultimate w/ Propel or Native Mariner have pedal drive systems that allow going backward without moving the foot pedals around.....its just like riding a bike.

wowwwwwwwww

David (aka Wookie on NCangler.com) has been my main fishing partner basically all year. We have fished almost every single weekend this year together, and a pair of tournaments. Up until now, we have never had a day on the water like the one we had today. We arrived at Willis Landing near Hubert, NC...

I use very little to no breaks most of the time unless its pretty windy conditions. To me its just more fun and I feel like I get more accuracy out of a cast. Perhaps because I am paying constant attention during the entire cast rather then casting and forgetting...if that makes any sense at all... ...

i love phenix rods

yeah I use gopros on yakattack panfish and panfish portait camera mounts. I have also used the Kodak playsport, which is a very nice camera at a huge value.
