Thread: rods and reels

Well,I went to Rays Bait and tackle (In Fishdocs' neck of the woods) today.
purchased 2 10' ozarks,1 8'ozark,2 shamiao sedona 1500 and picked up a few jigs and stuff.even stayed under the budget my wife give me.My buddy got some ozark rods,a couple of shamiao combos,some line,sedona reels and a few jigs.Got to talk to Mark,I hadn't seen in recent trips to Rays.
I hope we can make a good showing at the bash...I still gonna bring my tried and true crappie rods.

Come on wid it Mike. We have a shameless brand of crappie in these parts-they dont give a dang what ya catch em on. Lookin forward to seeing ya!!

only thing ya done wrong was get too smalla reel. the 2500and 3000 size don't coil the line near as bad as those small reels. and with the 8-10ft rods the larger reel balances better to reduce fatigue after catchin 200-300 crappie in a day. and remember to mention my name at Ray's, mite help me get more sponsor money outa him!

Be good to meet ya'll also.
Fishdoc,I mention ya name to Mark and he indicated that he mite have heard of ya(JK)He knocked some cash of the 1500s,he wouldn't on the large reels.
I don't have to worry about getting wore out from catching that many specs.
Be nice to donate a lit bit of cash to learn a few new tricks.
