Thanks again Brad,ya I was looking at the 6ft rods yesterday at BPS,and like the feel of them,the 6'6-7 seemed a little big and felt odd.I am a pretty big guy, 5'10,220 so I will be able to handle a rod that might take a bit more muscle,those tiagras were just monsters compared to my baitcast reels for bassfishing,lol then again the biggest bass I ever caught would be bait for these big boys.

find you a West Marine and go pull on a Seeker Black steel... if yo like it, let me know and I will see what I can get it for.... I think the one model they have would be a good setup of a 50W for AJ/chunking. then you would need a jiggin, and a topwater rig

Ya,think we have two,have heard they sold some fishing stuff,but thought they were just boats. I will def. go check them out over the holidays,just another one to add to the list. LOL I might have to go after I get back from Vegas though,b/c if I don't I might end up broke watching tv in vegas after spending all my money on gear! Thanks for the heads up SkRonnie,appreciate it.

jason L, if you are in SA I will let you handle an avet 50W or narrow so you can check it out in person if you havent yet. I also have a couple chaos rods you can check out.

Argo · 11-22-2006, 05:34 PM

oh yeah, I am a big guy too and like having the extra drag of the avet 50's but if I had the extra ching I would get the Trex 30W from avet. it puts out gobbs of drag.

Thanks argo,I am close,I am in Austin,I go to SA alot to visit my GF. Over the holidays I am going to go back out to BPS and really look over the rods,and also check out cabelas,and new to the list West Marine. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to get away to Roys and really look around.

I live right off of 35 and 1604 so just let me know

Jason_L · 11-22-2006, 05:50 PM

Awesome,thanks for the invite.You would think fisherman would be more crabbish,and not want to share as much to make people catch less,but its great,everyone is more then happy to give an opinion on anything,and they are worth while opinions. lol

to be honest, most of us would give people the shirts off our backs. I would not have too big of a problem loaning out a rod/reel combo as long as liability was accepted.

, any prototype report on this reel yet?

I read that they are going to test this reel on the Shogun trip beginning November 24,2006.
I am very curious how they solve the binding problem as drag increases which is common on small lever drag reels.
