I think jerkbaits are the trickiest of the bunch. Finding the perfect tip speed for not over or under working various style and depth baits, yet having a blank that will properly load and flex deep enough (not to deep), to keep fish pinned. I believe sensitivity is a little more important here than...

White Python is what you want.

Mostly frog pads, matted milfoil and other matted veg(6-8 out of 10) walk the edges and open patches. So, looking for something Between H-XH not more than 7'6" that is fairly easy to walk with. I can walk with a broomstick but the slack I have to throw can lead to backslashes when bombing casts. Th...

Gorgeous rods! I am now intrigued.

Nice! Can you post more detail pics of the Valkyrie? First time I have seen some up close shots. That is a purty rod.

Rick got his personal best. =D> A grand day!! Thanks for looking. https://i.imgur.com/kaDAyFv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ztr3lmM.jpg http...

Thanks Steve! We are always taking resumes! LOL!

Thanks guys.

Those bonefish are extra spooky. Anyone use a baitcaster for them? I so dislike the eggbeaters, but they seem to be the ticket for that species given the finesse and line capacity required.
