Your Next Rod Purchase?

Post by triple_illusion » Wed Mar 20, 2013 9:28 am

Inspired by goldrod's "Your Next Reel Purchase?" viewtopic.php?f=47&t=47441

i just ordered a 6'10 MH Cumulus and also have a JDM Steez rod in the works. 8-)

The Kistler KLX and 13 Omen were the only recent releases that inspired me try something new. I think I'm gonna wait for ICAST to roll around before any additional rod additions. Looking forward to what Daiwa comes out and hoping for a cranking version of the Omen Black.

Fenwick Aetos, either the 7' medium power moderate action or the 7' medium heavy moderate fast action, I really don't have my mind made up but I know it will be one of those two unless something comes along that really makes me want it.

2nd) G.Loomis NRX802S JWR (Stella 1000FB)

Looking at picking up a 2 piece 6'6" M F spinning rod at some point for river walleye fishing, leaning towards either a Cabela's XML or Fenwick HMG. Probably pick up a 7' MH spinning catfish stick as well at some point, that'll be a rod in the $20-30 range. Might have to look & see what they have at the Pure outlet in Spirit if I make it up there in the next few weeks.

I have another issue with my ET smallmouth reel seat. Had an issue with the lockdown nut stripping out on my old one, this one, that I exchanged for at the end of last year, the rear foot slides side to side. I could probably wrap some electrical tape around the rear foot & get it to quit shifting, but I shouldn't have to be doctoring up a rod just to get it out on the water for the first time. I think I'll take that with me up to the outlet & see if they'll let me swap it out & let me pay the difference for an Aetos. That's about the only bass casting rod I'm looking at getting any time soon.
