Re: Swimbait reel

I use the Calcutta, just feel confident with that round reel. I have a buddy that loves the revolution beast though.

Re: Fluorocarbon unmanageable with bigger baits?

I like 20# InvizX and use line spray before just about every trip.

Re: Megabass I-Slide

I haven't much luck with this bait, but maybe I just haven't given it the right amount of time yet. Looks cool though!

Re: Micro Guide rod $200

The bucoo is a great rod, as well as the BPS carbonlite.

Re: Suggestions for a travel rod

G Loomis escape is top of the line and they even offer them in a GLX blank. A bit pricey but very nice!

Re: Phenix K2 715C: Aldebaran 50HG or 13 Metanium HG/XG

Good choice, but you couldn't have gone wrong either way! Haha, that's the impression I got, but I'd rather have the extra oomph the Met has. I just took mine out the other day for the first time for this season, and I'd forgotten how much I love it! That also helped make up my mind. Maybe I'll sho...

Re: Some one HELP ME!!!

Right there with you brother! I sometimes find myself wondering the isles at bass pro just looking for no reason and walking out with $50 worth of more junk to put in the boat.

Re: Who's rods and reels do you like

I guess BPS just because of convenience to me with a bricks and mortar store. Otherwise I stick with Shimano reels and g loomis rods.

Re: Anyone else going to the Classic?

I was at the lake Friday morning and watched some of the big names with their floatillas. Then to the expo that night, overall I was a little disappointed in the expo. Not much new stuff or great deals, but fun anyway. The best part was the boatyard about 5 pm or so when all the pros were arriving a...

Re: What setup am I missing?

Maybe a Texas rig rod or a bottom contact jig rod. Something along the lines of an NRX 853 or a bit heavier 873 depending on your wants. Otherwise looks good.
