TW sale got me for a 7'1 MH Tatula rod. Curious as to how this is gonna perform.

<")))>{

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

The bait monkey got hold of me real bad this month and I am not sure me has let go yet!
So far this month, Shimano Curado 70, Shimano Essence spinning reel and just placed an order for a Shimano Metainium mgl. Plus 2 1000 yard spools of Seaguar  Tatsu in 10 lb and 15 lb.

But I did get a free Megabass Vision 110 with my Essence order!

Which JDM retailer did you get the 110 from?

Monkey gets me every year about now.

Dobyns Sierra 735

Shimano SLX 150XG

Shimano Curado DC 150XG

NuTech Jigs, I dont even remember what I ordered, just had to have some.

I blame you guys for the Dobyns rods (Its my 3rd since joining this forum)

Just bought a 2nd Gen Winch for 60 bucks that should arrive tomorrow :)

Monkey is looking at two more items - Curado DC and Dobyns 705C Glass.

Sorting out my 'finesse' tactics for this season, before I order all my casting jigs etc. Here's what came in last night. Fury 703sf should arrive this evening  ;D now if my Sedona doesn't balance it out the way I like, the Monkey told me to keep an eye on a Fuego LT. If my annual bonus is good, I might step up to the Tatula or Ballistic.

Gotta get me some Dobyns -

Going over tomorrow to get me a DC 705CBMF Glass for crankbait. Just want something to BEND IT !

as the creator of this thread you all are going entirely too slow!!  lo

but, the bait monkey hasn't been the bait monkey lately.  I had to find a winter hobby so I started taking up bowling after a long layoff.

Sure as hell, the bait monkey has a damn cousin--the bowling monkey!!!  >:D lo

If you go with the Fuego what gear ratio would you get?

Picked up the dobyns 705CBMF today and tested it out with SV103H.
Just tied up a 3/8 plug. boom, It can fly as I almost empty the spool.

Cant wait to put some water time very soon !

Thought I could sneak in a reel time but ice is still surrounded at the top.  I think this is gotta be a great crankbait rod. I have never "owned" one before except that Falcon BMC-7 which contains macro guide. It's not for me and gotta put it on sale soon. 

Got a good feeling that this will be a slayer.

Rod: Dobyns DC 705CBMF
Reel: Daiwa SV103H

the H is a great model. 

All of them are, but I really like the H

This Garmin® echoMAP™ Plus 93sv with Transducer showed up today.  ;D Looks like I may need to do a little fabricating to make a mount for it. But it looks nice. Hopefully maybe get it mounted tomorrow.  Here is where I was discussing it if anyone has opinions or tips etc.  ;)

As I fish it too fast, I need something to keep it down the strike zone for chatterbaits.

Just picked up a oldie BPS 4.7.1 (IPT 19')   ~c~ 
What's more - it comes with the BOX and paperwork !

Now, I need to test out a longer handle (Abu Garcia winch (gen2)). If I love the way it feels. I'm gotta ask the monkey bait group for suggestions to make it a "Little Baddie"

Just got home from BP. Went in with the intent of picking up a carbon lite 2.0 or a Shimano SLX. And then I saw the table with the special eddition Pro Qualifier 2.0 for 49.99.  Couldn't decide which speed I wanted so...I bought 2 and now need rods to put them on. I'm sure the wife will be understanding!
