Salmon rods...8.5' to 9.5' typical.

Thanks for all the input. And no, I haven't ruled out the LT series. I like them a lot. Can some of you in the know tell me the basic differences in materials from the Legend Elite to theLegend X, to the Legend Tournament series? Someone mentioned the Extreme and Tournament Inshore series. I like t...

Many of us on TackleTour look for performance and also the mystique of products. Most US advertising for products talk about how much lone the reel holds or how a rod is unbreakable. Nothing truly about performance. I used to work at Gander Mountain a few years ago. This guy asked me about a walley...

lures, lures, and oh, some more lures,...

Those fence posts in tight spots...
Those windy days of rod tip line wrapped...
Those foul bird nest...
Someone hooking your rod and dropping it off into the depths...

Worst of all...lost time...that could've been spent on more fishing.

Then there's always cheating part. The hybrid combination of putting both together, soft plastic onto the hardbait. Such a cheating method at times is just tipping the hardbait with a tiny bit of plastic. Although this may be the ultralight forum...cheating with a 1" tube rigged onto your trebl...

When are they gonna bring over clicker drag... http://fishing.shimano.co.jp/images/cache/4359/48041_feature1.jpg Exciting drag sound Mechanism that drag sounds. It is easy to judge whether or not the fish draws drag, bringing an advantage to the fight with the fish. Also, the refreshing drag sound a...

Us icefishing guys knows all about slippery slopes when glazed with ice and even in the early spring.

We wear cleats. The general populace likes Kahtoola Microspikes. I acually use Hillsound Trail Crampon Ultra cleats.

I've been a long time spoon user for pond stocked trout. I suppose half of what I use actually came from ice fishing spoons or either the flutter type or jigging type. Yet when casting distance involved for the bank fishing for pond stocked trout, jigging type with weight will get out there. While s...

Photographs are great!

They never do the full justice on spoons. One needs to see it in person to really really appreciate it.

If it's ripcord...they probably measured the full load stretched line ribbon out at the thinnest section.

Yes, every line is thinner when ribbon effect on the stretch. Some are...still more round than others.

.... A Curado/Scorpion 70 MGL would be a more interesting addition IMHO.

I would buy one or two almost right away.

Coming from a spinning reel set up...I don't hard cast. It's always been a gentle type of casting stroke. Only enough for the magnetic weight transfers in the lures to get them going. When I first tried bait casting gear...yeah...that was a disaster of a bird nest. My spinning reel casting stroke wa...

Awe dang...I remember one time I was in the mess of gar. It kept getting hard hits...fighting them half way to boat only to to get unbuttoned emptiness.

Till some live bait, and gar swallowed it and hooked.

LOL...at first I was gonna say, what happend to your reel seats fore grips and all...but...

with 25-30 different rods, you may well be the authority in this area.

At most I will use an Ugly Stick of those 4'6" UL variety.
