I've got a few cheap rods I might take over to BPS and see what I get for them. See what new toy I can get. :) Lol

LMG,
That was a pretty good deal. Let me know how you like it. I wasn't real impressed when I picked one up off the rack.
Was the rack full of the Gen 1 rods? Because they are heavy and feel horrible.

My wife says she is gonna leave me if I go fishing one more time........lord how I will miss that woman.

My neighbor was a big mojo bass fan. Got the gen 1's then two of the gen 2's. I didn't like them that much. That said he loved them until this year. Went to a expo and Cashion rods got him sold on their expert series.

The new ones are actually really nice, and dont feel anything like the old ones.

LMG, I have 1 carbonlite with the CL reel, don't like it as much as a CL with with a PQ reel, it's better balanced IMHO.

Old Fishermen never die, their rods just go limp.

Yeah, I bet. The PQ for some reason is more of a solid feel.

I wanted a CL rod for either topwater spooks or traps. If they handle like the veritas (which they should), they would be awesome

Actions arent the same. Veritas is usually on the stiffer side.

Even the moderates? I have the veritas 7' m mod and it is pretty good. I have the BP titanium in medium and it is good which is why I was thinking of adding one more at that price. With the other rod coming, I will hold off more than likely as I gotta keep the wife off my scent

Man that is a great buy. I use the baby and the regular paca craws a lot. In my mud colored water I stuff a Gene Larew 7mm glass rattle in them and they are deadly. The only issue is the glass rattles are a little fragile I've had bass crush them but it's worth it they are loud.

Annnd had some Cabela bucks so ordered the Fury 734C and 40#pp. Now the ice just has to melt
