well, i went to bass pro shops last night for one reason. i needed a better tube set up. i have been using a 6'3" st croix legend elite with a shimano stradic 2500 for a while now. its a great set up, dont get me wrong. but i am finding that when making long cast with the fish picking the bait up on the initial drop, the 6'3" rod isnt wuite long enough to sweep up enough line to get a good hook set from that far away.
so into bps i go and shoot right over to the rods. im looking at the avid series. not really finding anything that looks strong enough. sure they have 7' rods, but they seemed a little lite for what i wanted.
out of the corner of my eye, i spot the isle with the all stars in it. im thinking, can i buy an all star? should i buy an all star? what do i have to lose. i found the classic series tube edition. looks like its heavy enough. has a good fast tip on it. priced right. so i pick it up. i like it, now lets see how it looks with a stradic 4000 on it.
i will say that my intent was on buying a titanium series, but they didnt have any. so this will have to do for now.
would have waited but i need for saturdays bfl.
now i have 9 croixs and an all star. will let yous guys know how i like it.
