Went out this morning hit the little pond with a blue herring war eagle and got two in 35 minutes, one was a pound-pound and half the other was 2 to 3 pounds. Nice way to start the day.

I posted in Catch of the Day.. brought in a decent 5.3lber today and a two 1-2lbers.  Water was 60 compared to 67 earlier in the week and there was no wind... oddly enough it was warmer air temps as well.

MCS

I saw that West, nice catch. Maybe the lower temps had to do with the cool water from the rain?

So I went out today and had a skunkaroo. Nothing, not even a nibble.
spinnerbait and jig. Plan on tomorrow, front coming, hope bite is good.

Those always do the trick. Find the beds and slow roll them in there. Wait for the "kabluwee!"

I don't think I am ever going to sell this thing. Holy crap this reel is amazing! I would get rid of the Tatula and the T3 first. This Zillion is a casting machine! 30# braid and on a Dobyns Savvy 704 for now, and it slings a 1/4oz bait a country mile. I thought the Tatula Type-R was good, this thing makes it look like a Abu Black Max. Given the pricing it should, and it does.

I might be able to muster up the cash for that but then I have a rod not worthy. Right now I am in the spot to get a decent 60-80 dollar rod, 40 or 50 in tackle and then take the 6' lightning and find a cheaper BC reel off ebay or on sale for 40-50 to get my son going on it/use as a lipless setup. I mean I could sell the Quantum I just got, but selling stuff is always a hassle. Never get what you want out of it.

Why don't you wait for the Spring Classic at Bass Pro and get a Pro Qualifier for him. With the sale and the trade in you can get a great deal on a reel that is not a piece of  ^-^ that will hold up to anything he does and will last a long time.

As far as the Zillion, I was gonna get a Dobyns Champion for it, but then I saw the new Abu Volatile rod that is more suitable for doing both fresh and inshore fishing. Plus its got the EVA foam grips that I like more.

Just go for it, you cant take the money with you,  lo

Yeah the Volatiles are nice rods for the the price. If I got it I would look for a coastal XG or Lowrider Salt personally, and the Volatile would be number 2 on my list. 

Yeah I looked at pro qualifiers. Do they usually drop them down to 79 or something at classic time? I have found some good deals on the out going Pfluegers and some deals on quantums. We will see. Man I don't have my $$$ yet so I can't count my chickens.

I know I can't take it with me, but my wife can take it from me  :'( :surrender: ~roflmao

Yeah, they drop them like $20, then you also get the trade in credit too. I remember I had picked up one a while back for around $60.
