Re: Favorite Jig & Why?

I for one LOVE Jigs!! I've always liked jigs that have an enclosed eye and now that pretty much EVERYONE is making them its easy to find in stores, used to not be that way. I have all my jigs poured for me for a fraction of the price you can buy them anywhere else, and they're to my specs...would po...

Shimano Caenan??

I have the new Citicas on all my rods as of now but saw this new Shimano and was curious if its comp to the Citicas...size, shape, etc. Looks to be the same, little less weight and cheaper bux.
I think the Citicas are the best bang for the buck as of right now.

I had the luxury of fishing Clarks Hill (qualified for a BFL Regional), missed qualifying for the BFL All-American championship by 1 fish. Phenominal Lake! Skeet is on FIRE and I think he's pretty much "sealed the deal" for the AoY!

Another example of "not caring" is in the Mid-West and East Coast...If it is a "water res" then the #1 main concern is providing water for power/drink. Case in point is Buggs Island (Kerr) in Virginia, they have been fluxuating the water level so much that the fish probably will ...

Re: Ideal rod for hard jerkbaits?

"USA made" is one of the reasons I went with Falcon this time...even though I know of the "components reality".
Most all rods on the market are "good" nowadays...just us fisherman doing our research before we lay down the dough.
