Cal,

Any personal color recommendations you find successful?

Just looking for opinions on Lucky Craft Pointer 100 colors for fishing clear water, particularly areas such as the 1000 Islands in New York. I was looking into Clear Lake Hitch as a color as well as Misty Shad, but any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks for the info...

Does anyone use their Curado SF in saltwater? Just wondering what applications you are using it for and for what species. Thanks for the info...

Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced the binding problem with the 200 size Curado D. I had the opportunity to cast one at the Shimano Fishing Team Tour at the Hamburg, PA Cabela's and it was sweet. Just wondering if the problem corrects itself or is it something I need to be concerned ...

Who makes Evergreen blanks and who can I contact for getting one of these rods...the Steed looks perfect for my fishing applications.

What is this topwater bait like? Looks like a done up Jitterbug, but then I see that they offer a Waterbug that looks a little similar. What is the difference between the Catbug and the Waterbug? And has anyone ever used one. Any info is great. Thanks.

The 2000SR is the one I am looking at. Here is a link to one to be sure:

Can anyone comment on this reel. I would like to buy one if they are worth it over the Sustain or Stradic, and who has the best deals on them? Also, how is the overall durability of these reels in both fresh and salt water environments. Thank you.

Check out these great looking rods to match the new Daiwa Steez baitcaster.

I never knew just how strong some listed pound test lines can be.

Is that Zillion made out of Al?

Is that a new version and a lighter version of the Curado I see there in that charcoal color with big power handles. Looks cool...

I would love to see the new TD-Z made of Aluminum like the Alphas and make it saltwater safe...

Then click on the color option for Misty Shad. Thanks.

Looking for opinions on this color. Thanks.
