Re: Kistler rods?
The image of the 50% off sale presented here says "While supplies last" with no other expiration date. Doesn't that mean Kistler is selling its stock of all the rods shown at 50% off (when you buy 10 at a time) until they are gone?

Re: New St. Croix Bass Rod
Intrigued now. How many guides (incl. tiptop) on the 73MXF spinning rod?

Re: New St. Croix Bass Rod
The release says these rods will have "Fuji Concept 'O' guides with deep press inserts." To save others from looking up what "O" guides are, they are said by Fuji to use an improved version and replacement of its Hardloy rings. Their rings might be black rather than gray like Hardloy. The rods are a...

Re: Cicadas are coming
That's what--$700 worth of cicada imitations in one box? Not that I don't have (clearing throat) a slight degree of redundancy in my lure collection.

Re: Crawler baits
I love the sound the 5/8 oz. Heddon Crazy Crawler makes. Haven't fished it a lot, but it caught a 5 lb. largemouth and a 5 lb. pike just minutes apart and on another occasion fooled a 5+ lb. largemouth that shook off. I would advise against buying the Namuzu Crawler, a Japanese lure that has an elon...

Re: Looking for tips regarding a landing net for UL fishing
I have no recommendation, but do have a warning. Be wary of the net weave. A net that works great for fly anglers using barbless single hooks can be a PITA when the thrashing of a netted trout punches barbed trebles through net mesh. Having had to cut two holes in a brand new landing net to be able ...

Re: Short 5-5’6” rod for small river and stream smallies
I have no recommendation for a rod that short, but I caught hundreds of smallies up to 3 lbs. on a 5'10" Loomis SJR 700 rod from streams. If you find one used, you might get it for a reasonable price. I don't think Loomis makes that model anymore. Here is a discussion of it 14 years ago; Cal says ni...

Re: BFS Bobber Help Needed
Knotty, I bought some of these last year in the smallest size: https://www.fishusa.com/Bill-Lewis-Rocket-Bobbers They facilitate casting a light jig a long way, as they are made of plastic. A single spring-loaded clip makes them easy to attach to your line. The problem with round plastic bobbers of ...

You seem to be worried that using mono backing will create an imbalance. Why?

Re: Santa Came Early...
Appears that the Steez box was designed to house a collectible--or, perhaps, to "garage" it in off-season.

Re: IGFA rated lines
I should have checked Maxima's current offerings in that line! I have spools of its Tournament Silver IGFA line in 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 lb. test from yesteryear, so I recklessly assumed that it was still offered over a broad range of popular strengths.
