thank you Cabelas, new crankbait rod
Message:
I went to Cabelas to buy a crankbait rod,, didnt know what the heck I was going to get,, ran into a guy that I talk to on this sight,, anyway he was very helpful, and took great care of me,, even though he was extremely busy,, I picked up a Skeet Reese crankbait rod, 7fter, I thought what a wimpy rod, but after talking to some of my crankbait gurus, I was told that was a very decent rod,, so I went to the lake of compounce to try it out,, first cast, I start reeling it in and the rod just bends and wiggles,,and then it really bent,,, I caught 10 fish in 15 casts,,it was amazing how that rod reacted with a fish on it,, I didnt lose any fish,, usually they jump and shake it off,, not now!!,I think with this set up,, the cranks are acting like the cranks should, I also picked up a Abu Garcia,, WINCH,, 5.4 ratio,, that is the ticket,, Anyway thanks for the input on the rods and reels,,, you know who you are,, and let me know when your open,,, lets do a Candy trip,, Thank You,,, Set Hard!!! Jim

Flippy, I've been thinking of making the same purchase for the same reason. You mind me asking how much the pole went for? Thanks, Mark

I was wondering how those rods were, glad to hear you are happy with the new setup.
