I ran across a deal on a rod recently that I won't identify right now, but it's a 7-2 finesse jig rod ... medium power, fast action, IM8. I'm thinking the extra couple of inches may give me a bit more casting distance. We shall see. If it doesn't work out, I'll either find something else to do with it or sell it for the little bit I have invested in it.

I'll let you guys know how it works out.

I'm also thinking that little extra bit of length will put Donna 2 more inches back toward the Mercury, therefore keeping that jig out of my "winding water."

What a fisherman in every sense of the word. Not just keeping secrets on locations, baits, depth or colors.....but now the man won't even tell you what kind of rod he is using.

Fishing experience level: EXPERT.

AND trying to put his poor wife's lure TWO INCHES farther behind him!  He's starting to remind me a little of Tiger Woods - you know, has to have a pair of shoes specifically designed to fit his "new" golf swing.  

This guy might just be the same deal - crank bait shoes, spinnerbait shoes, topwater shoes, well, you get the idea.  Maybe even a specific hat for each or pants that set a little higher or lower on the hip depending on the cast required.

No wonder he doesn't possess  buffs and jerseys - he'd go broke owning enough to fit all of his fishing styles!

Like all the truly great ones, he's a specialist and deliberately mysterious.

Now you guys are starting to understand ... really understand Champ188 --- the man, the myth, the legend. LOL

AHHH, dos equis!!!  The most interesting FISHERMAN in the world!!!

Lew's Wart Special or the David Fritts 7' M do it for me.

Well champ they should be happy you share your knowledge with them. You do not need  to tell them how to fish in your spots. your are a  honorable man. When the subject turns to where and when I have no honor what so ever.

Love my old St. Croix Pro Glass, but they're hard to find anymore. Recently picked up a 7' MH/M Quantum KVD cranking stick and it's the best cranking rod I've owned next to the St. Croix.

OK, just to add to the mix.  1 piece, or 2 piece? Why?  How do you store/transport the 1 piece?

[Sore Thumbs]

1 piece for sure. Can you specify your last question? Are you talking about storing in your home,vehicle or boat?

All.  I am possibly going to buy a new rod in the next few days or month.  I have  couple one piece rods, and have a hard time getting then out of the cab of my truck.  They are not 7 footers. Just curious if there wad something that I am missing.  I  could put them in the bed, but it is open.  Too easy for grab-n-go.
