Re: Rod Shopppping??
I think I have (with everyones help) narrowed down my choices....I am thinking I might head down to advantage...and check their rods out... Has anyone tested the quantum energy reels?
So when my wife say my rod is inadequate for inshore fishing she's actually talking about red fish right?

Who do I need to write to get you two on TV...they need to spice up their coverage.

I also visit to check out the Okuma Guide series.fishfeeder wrote:...I am thinking I might head down to advantage...and check their rods out...
I actually prefer ML Rods inshore with M for topwater.
All are 7ft and with braid I can't figure why I would need to cast farther.
Actually listening to what other people say is worth the effort.

Re: Rod Shopppping??
LITT... I feel I need to cast further to cover more ground.... I mean if Im not going to catch a fish (as in my last 2 trips) I want to be able to at least snag a gull or duck or something....
