Pics of the Stradic and some of the baits added.

Thanks!

Hey all, I'm in search of bootfoot waders for my ten year old son. He hasn't had any yet and it's time. If you have some old youth waders (he wears a 12 jeans and a 6 shoe) you'd wanna get rid of cheap, I would trade some Japanese hard baits for them (Megabass, Lucky Craft, etc.) I can ship baits asap if need be. Thanks and please PM me and comment here.

Outside Kansas City, but i ship to your door. I should add that a lot of these are new. I pulled them from their packages. The frog, buzzbaits, all three XCalibur baits, LC1.5 Spin and Sammy 85 are all new and have not seen water.

Who'd have thunk that outboard motors are as computerized as the diesel engines in trucks today? I'm a trash truck mechanic for Waste Management in KC and I learn every day that these things are sophisticated beyond belief, not just hauling poo, tampons and used diapers. Hell, I had a truck last night a driver wrote up for an intermittent single cylinder misfire. How he reached that, I have no clue. When I drove it, it drove fine, not really stumbling at all, but with the faintest of misfires on the top end. Being an 01, I wasn't sure what the ECM would tell me, unlike the 2007 and newer units that will tell me when the driver farts. Well, I found a code for a bad engine position sensor and when I got to thinking, that makes perfect sense. The engine will stumble a bit, especially hot with a bad sensor on the crankshaft. With all of this said, I'm a bit overwhelmed with having to resort to a computer on new outboard engines. I guess what I buy will be a small jon with a small, older engine...thanks for confirming my decision Wrench.

If it helps, the XCalibur baits, LC baits, frog and buzzbait are all new, never seen water.

Make me a reasonable offer.

Sold, thanks.

The problem is that if you got your 6 month window, whatever keeps you from wanting the whole year?

You mean like the closed season from Feb 28 through Memorial Day weekend on rivers south of the Missouri. If they extended it a month, would it please you?

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I don't know. I may need to give it a try.

Honestly, I love throwing a fluke. They're fun to fish. I caught one on a Super Fluke on the Big Piney a month ago before the monsoon rains that wreaked havoc all over the Ozarks.

Gavin, if I wrapped rods, I'd be willing to do that, but i don't, so I can't.

Mitch, given the differences in handle length, the blank beyond the grip is the same length on my St. Croix Premier 6' M as it is on the Lew's.

It's likely my favorite handle this far. It just fits my hand right. I wish they also had a lighter power rod with that handle as well.

No. The grip is a short, straight grip, maybe 5" long. It feels perfect in my hand.

I recently sold some gear and decided to reinvest. I bought a Lew's TP1 5'9" MH casting rod and stuck a Gen 1 Revo Premier on it. This rod is not a typical MH rod. It behaves more like a M power stick, even rated for just 3/8-1/2 ounce baits. The Winn Grip handles have grown on me and I can't think of anything this rod wouldn't do. I'm planning to use It for everything from 1/8oz heads and craws up to 1/2 ounce buzzbaits. It is light, smooth and powerful with a soft tip. For the price, its a very nice stick. The MH almost scared me off, but I'm glad I bought one. I figured I'd pass the word off to other creek smallie fiends as it could answer their need for a new casting rod.

Thanks

Hey, PM sent

Thanks Dutch. I have new 600 spools of YZH in 6, 8 and 10lb clear. I'm contemplating getting away from braid on my bc gear and I've used Hybrid before and loved it.

I have come into a Curado 70XG and was wondering if anyone else here has one and what line they use on their 70 for river fish.i am wondering if 20/6 PP or Smackdown with a Hybrid 8# leader would be something I'd lean towards...

Aaron, those types of creeks are what stirs my soul.

I'd like to trade all of this for a used kayak or canoe ideally.
