Ive been too lazy to report this but i went saturday to candlewood and fished at my favorite spot and got the occasional jumbo perch and had some nice 2lb smallmouth put up really nice fights!! I also snorkeled with my underwater camera and got some fearless sunnies and perch to visit me! As i was snorkeling my friend got a really nice 4lb smallmouth. Another great fight. I was able to snorkel to about 8ish feet and net him. Sadly my camera was in the boat at the time i was snorkling with a net so i wasnt able to film it :cry: . I also fly fished and got two 14'' perch and some sunfish. Overall it was a great day at candlewood like always. The perch and smaller bass were caught on minnows. The fly fishing fish were caught on prince nymphs. The 4lb bass was caught on a kailins green weenie (green and brown twister tail). And when i got home i got a surprise of baby fish in my smallest fish tank! Then on sunday my dad went out and i decided to stay home. He said he got a few smallmouth and perch hiding in weeds when he was using gulp minnows. Nothing too big. But something happened that day. MY ROD SNAPPED!!! My rod was in the car on the way home because we are planning to go to Winchester lake friday. My dog was in the back and she fell over on a turn and the tip of my rod got stuck in the sunroo and BAM it snapped :cry: . It was a Cabelas Magtouch 7', probably my favorite rod ive used. The warranty expired a year ago so now i have to buy another but im looking at a few different ones. Anyone use one of these rods? TFO Gary Loomis Signature Series Freshwater Spinning Rod, Abu Garcia Veritas Spinning Rod, Abu Garcia Vendetta Spinning Rod, Cabelas Prodigy, or Falcon Bucoo Spinning Rod. If you were to pick one which one would you get? They all seem really nice and has their pros and cons but i just cant decide.

For $89.99, I'd get a 7'2" Shimano Clarus Spinning Rod (CSS72MHB).
