Loomis GLX 843c
I have had terrible success with glass or composite rods with fish coming off. Have used a Loomis 845c and expride 7’2” MH glass. I personally like a medium heavy fast action like a GLX mbr 843
What is a good way to balance rods? I am also looking for a good 1/2oz jig rod. I am considering a GLX 854c or a NRX 873. I’ve read so many people say they didn’t like the 854 but loved the 873 but I...
I think it's a great idea I just wish it was a better deal. $468 is 25 years of fishing licences at the normal price. I'm only 27 and still don't think that is worth it. If I am lucky and stay in...
I've never used it but am curious. I've read some negative reviews but I guess that is with everything. Isn't sealing cork defeating the purpose of it? I just feel weird brushing on a sealant to my...
Got skunked at Turkeyfoot again today. Idled around most of the lake and barley marked fish. I can’t figure that place out.
Make sure they are round bend not EWG. Also a red back treble could help.
Is there a website where these tournaments are posted? Nothing worse than getting to the lake and realizing there are already 75 boats ahead of you. I struggle enough on portage without a tournament...
Sounds like I need to get a few shorter rods. All my rods are around 7 feet long.
I have a omen black spinning rod and like it enough. If you can get them for $50 and are just getting back into bass fishing I’d say it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get one. Maybe get an all purpose rod...
Fin is a great store but Fisherman’s Central near portage lakes makes fin looks like a Walmart.
Does anyone use rods under 7 feet anymore? It seems that the trend is longer and longer. I’ve been thinking of getting a GLX 783c but can’t even find reviews on the newer model. The old 783 was so...
Thanks! I think I’m going today as well. I’ll be in a grey Lund Angler.
Hey guys,
I fished Turkeyfoot today for 5 hours and didn’t catch a thing..water temp was 42*.. I am thinking it is still too cold. Has anyone had any luck yet?
I just bought a metanium mgl 6:2:1 for my spinnerbait/chatterbait rod. This has me rethinking that. Might have to trade it for an HG and just use it for jigs and get a bantam for moving baits.
I think it's a great all around reel. Good casting distance and almost impossible to backlash. The only thing that will keep me from buying anymore is the ergonomics. I have smallish hands so it is...
I use the old Gloomis 845c CBR. I do not have a ton of experience with square-bills but so far so good.
I looked at a daemos and a perfect pitch today. I really liked the daemos but $400 is a little steep for me to spend on a moving bait rod. I’m thinking it would be smarter for me to get a zodias or...
I’d recommend practicing with a towel under your armpits.. I know it sounds weird but most people are too steep with wedges, pros always draw wedges, even ones that cut everything else. It is because...
I’ve wanted to try Megabass for awhile now. Have considered the Destroyer Daemos for an all purpose spinnerbait/chatterbait rod. Perfect pitch sounds like a perfect pitching rod as well.
Thanks those are all good ideas. I’ve considered the 843c, it is definitely a good option I just don’t know if I want to spend that kind of money on a rod I’ll use for moving baits. Are there any...
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping to get some advice on what my next rod should be. I got a little carried away last year buying rods/reels so I want to only buy one more at this time. Currently I have...
I just had the same issue tonight with 3 fish coming off. I was using a z man chatterbait with a zako on a Loomis 845cbr with 12lb fluro. Normally I’d used my 844 glx with braid but I thought I’d...
Hey guys,
I was looking on TackleWarehouse and noticed the Aldebaran is no longer for sale. I heard it's discontinued for the time being. Anyone have thoughts on a replacement? Are people going to...
