It's because there are no mecanics involved in a rod. Most people will change a rod 2 or 3 times putting the same reel on it.
I would be willing to spend quite a bit on a rod.

Yes, and there goes, out the door, the notion that you had to adopt certain rhythm with a jerkbait to get results: remember, jerk... jerk... stop ! or jerk... jerk... jerk ... stop ! How many times...
DC is a different technology. If it were for all purposes, that's the only kind of reel Shimano would produce. They do not. DC reels are ideal for throwing baits in tough conditions: Long...
I also have an XT and yes, it's a better reel. The external adjustment dial is really easy to use.
My mistake, the review said a better balanced thinner wall spool and I figured ''lighter'' but if you weighted them you already know that was wrong.
I'm not absolutely sure and others might chime in but I think you have an original version of the SLX and a version of the second generation, the SLX A. The one with the white lettering is the SLX...
Same here, 17 pound fluoro for a 1/2 oz bait. The trailer and how you put it on the bait is really important. I like straight tail trailers and they have to be small enough and put on straight. It...

In the US market, the Vanford is available in 2000, 2500 and 3000 - The 2000 has a body the size of a 1000 but a bigger diameter spool. The 2500 has a bigger body than the 2000 and an even bigger...
There are benefits to a longer shaft. If you have large sonars units in front they may block your view of the head of the motor. Seing the head helps with directions.
Just use a marker pen like sharpies.
Shimano Zumverno 95 is a nice one.
I like Power Pro Super Slick V2
Have you tried in really clear water ? I fish the St Lawrence where there are places with 20 foot visibility, meaning I can see a white jig on the bottom in 20 foot of water. But maybe you are...
Thanks everybody. X Fine Scotch Brite is on my list. Keep the suggestions coming...
I don't like the 2.25 round base for the ball. A square ou rectangular VESA base is much sturdier. It spreads the weight over a larger surface.
Going out on a limb here but maybe he's using the leader as part of the presentation, to ''deaden'' the action of the lure. If he thinks this is what the fish want, he uses the lenght, diameter and...
Is there an easy way to transform a glossy finish on a jerkbait to a mat finish besides sand paper?
The Rapala comes in two sizes. I bought the big one because the smaller one is difficult to find but it's still not that big. Works well !
If fluoro has the same transparency index has water, why would 16 pound be more visible than 8 pounds test ? I regularly use 18 pound fluoro in crystal clear water with no rejection problem from the...
I'm lucky, I don't have to choose. Where I fish most of the time, I can motor a hundred yards to go from smallmouth to largemouth.

Yes saw that video. On FSS distance of lure from fish is always somewhat of a problem. Lures don't all shine the same way. But what is the distance a bass will travel to get to a lure? I fish...
