Hey Mocarp

[Wayne SW/MO]

I had a good visit with Jim yesterday and he filled me in on all his secret baits, methods, equipment and all your "secret" spots.

He had a different setup then this for his rods, so I'm wondering what this one is, by definition.

[MoCarp]

Thats my "Ozark Rod pod" or a pair of tripod adapters with 6 banksticks, very stable--but a lot heavyer than a euro pod--and only a tad cheaper--

as far as the rods --what can I say I am a baitcaster man--just put them on clicker and freespool--only trouble is that most all euro rods are ringed for pinning gear-- 'cept cabelas predator casting 11' 6" and 1.75 test curve--a bit light for the bigger fish at the "spot" and ACS MIA II which I have a pair in 3 1/2 test curve awesome rods but pricey at $250 each (wife got miffy about it too) also use a fenwick 9 foot steel head rod great rod for about $75 not as long as the pred but a better rod--

reels ether 6600 abu garcia rockets or the new for 06 abu garcia 6500 c3s--much better drags than the older reels (need it too)

What are the Buzz something? Are those the pieces that support the rods?

Wayne, good to meet you yesterday. the horizontal bars across the top are called buzz bars, and the forked looking things holding the rods are rod rests. didn't have any more fish after you left and went exploring and found the other areas you told me about. thanks

what he said!--the bars screw in to the tops of the tripods or pod as the case may be--and bite alarms go on the front--nice thing with the reels in freespool you do not have to stand on top of them when waiting for a run
