They are rated medium for the 5' and ML for the 4'6" I bought one for my (rather short) sister. She has problems with rod butts being too long and being uncomfortable for fishing. Rod works good, caught some pretty large freshwater drum on it. Paired with a Pflueger Supreme in 25 size if I'm not mis...

I don't have enough posts to post in hot deals, so I'm posting here. Cabelas website currently has some Lucky Craft lures on sale listed at $8. If you click on most of the ones marked at $8 the page opens with them as $5.

Is Tasline available in the US?

Unless the search function is completely broken, there is next to zero info about it. Plenty about the 801...

Go take a look at the big bluegill forums. There is a ten page thread on why pink baits are effective in certain conditions.

Check sierra trading post, they usually have keen clearance.

Anybody own one? Thoughts on it?

I'll second Keen. Three years wearing the same sandals, no smell. You do occasionally have to clean the foot bed out, which only takes some water and scrubbing.

Ranger: you mentioned the Lunker City jigs, where do you buy them? Most of the websites I found them on look pretty sketchy.

I am thinking about picking up a St Ctoix Avid 7' rod. I see it comes in fast and moderate. I know for heavier rods there is a large difference, is this as true in ultralight rods? Anyone have both of these to give an opinion? Thanks!

Considering your criteria, you should go on cabelas website and do a search for 596 c di. Doubt you will beat that price, even without the rebate.

A lot of fisherman (forget the average person) have not even HEARD of the brand Pflueger.

Yeah, its such a novel brand that their products are only sold in high expense boutiques... you know, Walmart.
