Super Seeker Spinning Popper |
|
|
|
Just received a pair of custom made spinning rods I ordered from Txseadog. Very nice. The blanks are Super Seeker CJBF70H 40 (50) 60 pound rating. 7' in length, Aftco gold reel seats, gold anodized aluminum gimbal, hypalon grips, gold anodized reel color removable fighting rings, and MNSG fugi guides. Wraped in a black/gold combination.
It seems as everybody on this board is looking for best popping rod. These are going to be perfect for me. I don't mind the fact that they aren't super light weight made with plastic seats and gimbals. I'm no lightweight and love the long lasting durability of aluminum. A 50 pound class rod with a stiff tip should send those poppers to China. I mounted a pair of Shimano Stella 20000 spinning reels on these rods loaded with 65 lb spectra and a 25 foot top shot of 80 lb fluorocarbon. I choose the super seeker blank because it is suposed to have great recovery and is billed as unbreakable. I don't believe any rod of good character is unbreakable. I have a bad habit of high sticking which tends to snap rods. These rods blanks have just hit the market. I plan on testing them next weekend with a group of five people. I heard the bite today at Colt 45 was incredible. Lots of big Hoo's in the 50 pound class combined with YF's and a couple blue marlin tearing up the spread. Our plan is to fish Colt 45 and then hit the new floater off Port Mansfield at night. Thanks Kevin for doing a beautiful job on the rods. I am very pleased.

Remember, I want a driftwood frame and double matted.  Honestly, I'll have one framed for you. Underdogs sometimes have the will to win and do cause upsets. Let's just hope the tuna show up so we can have some fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Trust me, a 100 dollar bet isn't enough to keep my arse on the boat.  I guess it sounds stupid to spend $700 on a rod to win a $100 bet. The bet is the main reason for having the rod constructed. I have many other 100# class roller stand up rods in my arsenal I could have used. To be honest, it was an excuse to buy another rod. I'll get a lot of use out of it during the summer. If it works out, I'll have more built. |

I just bought this marine timing device. It can hooked on a rod belt, or maybe even part of the rail. It's the Dakota Angler II. I just got it last week. I need to read the directions as it does a lot of stuff. It does have a stopwatch. I hope someone brings reading glasses on the trip. My eyes can't read those little fonts. • Integrated Hook Sharpener • Attached Stainless Steel Nippers • 3 ATM Water Resistant • Black Solid Aluminum Body • Black Ani-Digi EL Dial • High Precision Molded Case Body • Domed Mineral Glass Crystal • Luminescent Hands and Markers • Integrated Aluminum Carabiner • Miyota Analog/Digital Movement with Alarm / Stopwatch / Date • Moonglow Electro Luminescence • Ultra Bright LED Microlight with Visibility up to 1 Kilometer • Integrated Compass • Integrated Celsius / Fahrenheit Thermometer • Acid Etched Stainless Steel Backstamp • Oversized EZ Touch Buttons color options: black or eggshell silver Last edited by MrBill : 03-06-2007 at 02:06 PM. |

Neat watch. I was gonna ask the price but I googled it instead. $80 is not bad.

I played around with the Dakota Angler II a while ago. I was trying to find the best place to anchor it and not be in the way. Some worked out, other's sucked. I finally found the best spot for it. Now I just have to find an honest timekeeper!!!!!!!!!
