Re: 7'6" Light Cranking Rod

Take a look at the Megabass X7 Western Flip, if you know anyone that will let you try theirs. It may suit your needs.

Re: ML bottom contact rod recommedation

If you can find a used one the Sedition Cristobal is a top notch mag Ml rod with incredible feel, balance, cosmetics and length. It casts incredibly well baits in that 1/4 to 3/8 oz range such as 1/4 jig with a trailer. https://i.postimg.cc/ZqDHjJHx/0-C81-D793-43-E2-4150-933-E-AA04533-DF375.jpg htt...

Actually, they’re an additional 30% off right now. I would call to see what they have in stock, otherwise, you could be waiting for months if you have to order one.

Re: Surf fishing (spinning) rods for jerkbait halibut in Socal area?

I’ve been really happy with my Edge BWS StR 905-2. They often have specials going to have them closer to your target price. I have a Van Staal VR50B on it and it’s a great combo for SoCal surf fishing. I also have the BWS StR 964-2 that I switch out for throwing sand crabs or crack for Perch, Corbin...

Re: Daiwa steez ags, source an eye?

I was able to get a replacement from the guys at the Tackle Trap. They had spares that were taken off damaged rods. Worth a shot.

Re: 21 Exsence A 4000 ($100 off) vs Vanquish

Here’s my take on your question, if the latest most updated model means much to you, then the obvious answer is the new Vanquish. While I’ve not handled the Vanquish, I do own both the 3K and 4K Exsence reels. They are as smooth as any other top tier Shimano spinning reel I’ve handled and I’ve had s...

Re: Premium Mountain Stream Rods-The Hunt

Hey Rick, I have a couple of Tenryu rods, one is a 6’1” spinning the other 5’2” casting. Haven’t tried either in any streams yet but fished one of our local lakes for stockers. Both were great! I’m a flyfisherman at heart, hence the board name Winstondry, this is my first step to fishing for trout w...

Whelp, just finished finalizing a deal on a pretty good condition TKIC SUPER STALLION...can't wait to put it to some heavier 3/4-1.5 oz fall power fishing duties with a couple of different reels.
Congrats, Van!

Re: Evergreen HD / steez ltd boosted

What i can tell you about the rod is this it transmits e-v-e-r-y-thang.. like everything. The sensitivity is above alot of rods i've fished sorry for the sporadic post but life is crazy right now Sounds like it’s at least above par. :lol: Was starting to worry since the rod seems to have been lost ...

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's

That Budweiser lure makes me feel a bit nostalgic. I remember seeing one of those as a kid at the Navy Exchange on Rough and Ready Island in Stockton, CA back in 1975. I wanted one so bad.
