Acknowledge the Lord, repent, free your eels, sell your Van Staals and buy good wood (or old plastic and scented rubber if going cold turkey is too much all at once). God Bless. Amen.

George, you're being added to my "must fish with" list for 2008. I'll bring the wine.

"Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they(fished plugs and) caught nothing" John 21:3

DID YOU PICK A ROD?

Bob,

I was wondering if you picked out a rod yet?

I haven't yet, Grampy but I was thinking of a GSB 1201 either M Or L I want to check them both first

That would be a big reel for the 1201L. I had a 1205 with a 7000HSN a few seasons ago that I sold...being new to conventionals I found the action too fast and it just pissed me off.

I've got a 7000 on a glass 1213m that's a neat rod for the bigger stuff and has the added benefit that you can pole vault with it if necessary :humpty:

But to be honest, ever since I put my VS on a 1201m I really don't use anything else unless I'm going to be throwing jigs.

That's a smart answer in picking out a rod. After all what maybe good for one person may not feel right for you.
