Re: Wildest child

The Megabass Special BF Spool for ZONDA is a bit too touchy for regular use, for me anyway. My favorite wild child is the I'ZE FACTORY RCS PX68 for special finesse spool in a Pixy.

Re: Introducing my new girlfriend

I've fished with Lola and caught many bass. I have not been out with her sister yet but with these type of girls, well they won't care if they are both on deck at the same time.

Re: Rod I need to know...

I have been considering the Megabass X7 F5-ST611X7 Bearing Down Type-X. That soft tip has me concerned but all reports say it works. The F5-75X7 Extreme Mission might be the ticket though. Thanks for the input guys.. I've also been interested in the Kistler Z-Bone. Would like to try the NFC blank. M...
