I voted shimano because I'm eagerly awaiting my new antares hg arrival.

ROG rules. Love that 2nd smallie picture.

Looks like a fishing machine. Enjoy.

Sorry for that. Should be discontinued. I asked Bantam yesterday.

The calais is discounted except for the dc version.

LOL.

I noticed that the calais has been dropped from the shimano site except for the dc version. Has it been discontinued?

Very nicely done. Looks great.

I've found that though the NRX rods are "technique specific" as are the BCR GLX rods - all geared toward bottom contact presentations, the NRX series have a little more versatility because they're a bit less fast than their BCR counterparts. I still don't like using them for moving baits personally...

I thought I recognized that smile. Good to see your still on them.

Conquest 50.

Trey I like your office decor! Nicely decorated.

Sweet aresenal for sure.

It would have to be the st croix legend extreme XC72 medium heavy moderate. Handles everything up to one ounce for me. Very versatile stick.

I sure the halibut hunter knows they eat much better than they look. Great fish.
