My choice was Dobyns its not because Im on there prostaff its because they have proven them selevs to me as a quality product. There customer service is also top notch and there willing to help you out with your selection. I used them before I was on there staff and they have been really awesome to...

When you amortize the cost of a rod on a cost per fishing trip basis the rod cost is not really significant. Buy a rod that feels good and one you can catch fish when using it. I have had an NRX852 for 6 + months coupled with a tuned Chronarch 100D7 with braid and fluoro leader and will buy more. C...

Yes I must admit I too think along the same lines, come out of the closet and admit it - we are fisherman and TACKLE JUNKIES.

I am left handed and reel lefty. I throw lefty but bat righty. I guess my folks dropped me numerous times when I was a baby.

Definitely G Loomis, I think Shimano has made them better. I got my hands on a few Dobyn's rods at Cabela's today and was not impressed.

I own a couple of NRX rods and really enjoy using them, with that said I would also enjoy a review here. I have trouble finding a dealer that carries G Loomis NRX rods for me to handle and pair with a reel. Not many folks would spend $500 on a mass produced fishing rod never mind doing it sight unse...

No question TW has my business when they carry what I need. Their prices are excellent and they always do what they promise, best customer service I've encountered in years. I hope they don't change a thing except get bigger and carry more. I also inquired about a St Croix Legend Xtreme spinning rod...

If your spending $200 I would want the very best and in my book that is Maui Jim. I just bought a pair of Kaimana for $219 and couldn't be happier. Real glass lenses super lightweight, durable, saltwater safe with a 30 day money back guarantee and a two year warranty. I am still wearing a pr of Maui...

I love P-Line CXX and use it today in my bait casters (12lb High Vis Flour Green) with either P-Line Fluorocarbon (20lb or Seaguar Inviz X (20lb) as a leader. On my spinning reel I only use Suffix Elite (12lb) it's real good. Speaking of fluorocarbon has anyone tried Seaguar Tatsu? I think it's the ...
