This is a House bill. Fortunately, most of the idiocy from the House dies in the Senate.

I know you bought it mostly for smaller fish, but they're built to handle pretty decent-sized trout, right?

That's a serious bend in the rod. Reminds me of this quote from Joe Robinson's book:

"So by miniaturizing my gear, I maximize my fun." ;)

Old Crappie Dude? ;)

Did you know Jack Gartside?

That's all you need, IMO.

See comments above.

Thanks for the clarification. You're leaving out the best bait, though: plain ol' jigs. I use nothing but.

Trout Magnets, Crappie Magnets, BG Baby Shads, plain (no spinner) Beetle Spins, and...

It sounds like you're talking about bass lures. What are you fishing for? Are you using typical bass-size baits?

Three options:

1) New Eagle Claw

Eagle Claw Brave Eagle Rods


2) Vintage model from Ebay

If I’m in water deep enough that I will inherently drown, I like the idea of a life jacket that is inherently buoyant.

That's not enough, IMO, for a 10-11' rod. I'm not surprised you have a sticking problem.

Sad but true.




Not many. However, there are lot more guys fishing JDM spinning rods than I would have expected.

About twenty years ago, one of the Euro pole companies (Maver) came out...

I'm not familiar with that rod, but you will have this problem if there are not enough guides. How many guides does the rod have?

If there are not enough guides or the guides are spaced too far...

Yep. The floats are specially designed to work with the paste they mix up for bait. The Euros have a similar float, but they don't use paste very much.

Chris, I've never seen these on your site. Do you ever stock them? I currently have a 5.4m hera rod.

Interesting. I got the impression that he was using a different type rod (more like keiryu) but, as I said, it seems to be working for him.

Have you listened to the link above? He talks about constantly extending the pole and then breaking it down again to land fish. It seems to me that would prematurely wear down the joints.

Good fighters. I often mistake them for a big bluegill.

You just miss the balmy, beautiful Illinois weather. :crazy:

Yep, and when some guy wins a tournament with one, the flood gates will open. ;)

That is a good site. Glad it helped.

I've got him beat. 27' is short. :biggrin

The way he's fishing it (breaking it down every time he hooks a fish and then extending it again) is not the way those poles were intended to be fished. It's obviously working for him, but that's...
