What's your rod lineup for this year

Post by bronzebacks » Tue Apr 06, 2021 6:35 am

Oh we're doing this again...lol

Falcon Experts:
At least one of all casting models. A couple models I have two of.

Falcon Lowriders:
Most of the series when they were the tannish brown color.
7'2" M of the new red color.

Shimano:
I think one of the entire Poison Adrena series of casting rods except the glass model.
7' M Gen 1 Cumara casting
7' M Gen 2 Camara spinning

Megabass:
P5 x-bites
Waiting on more stock to order a couple more of these.

Daiwa:
Tatula XT 7'6" Heavy Flipping

And a bunch more BPS specials sitting in the garage.

Why do y'all do this?!?

It is an oddly shaped circle for sure. Topwater is one of its strongest suits
I was watching a video last night and a guy was using it for jerkbaits
After much consideration I wouldn’t use it for a 11 0 but I would use it for lucky craft pointer 100’s
Pop max is a great choice too. Someone here mentioned that they used it for jigskipping docks
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible
