Fishing Rods

I have to admit I'm not 100% sure that's one of my Kistlers ....... I take and fish with 5 Kistlers and 3 Fenwick Techna AV rods each time and my old brain won't remember.....for sure . In any case, it's a nice Bass:

At least I got the HAT right!

Nice fish LR!! I am still casting my jig,trying to get my first "Jig Fish".

Ez: Have you taught yourself to 'pitch' a jig yet? If not, give it a try.

Nice fish. I am in the same boat as Ezcue I have yet to catch a jig fish. I need to go out one day and do nothing but jig fishing. Now if I only had a Helium to jig fish with I would be in business

Ez: Have you taught yourself to 'pitch' a jig yet? If not, give it a try.

Not sure Dan, lol My wife is getting very tired of tuperware bowls strategically placed around the living room and my standing on a milk crate flinging a jig and trailer across the living room. Seriously, I have been practicing but am not sure I am doing anygood. You know the old saying, "perfect practice makes perfect." I am not sure that my mechaincs are what they should be.

I didn't go as far as you have---I just went out into the yard and practised pitchin' while standing flat-footed. I'd pitch the jig under a bush and learned that way.

Don't get hung-up on being 'perfect', just go fishin' and pitch abd see what happens . Even a misplaced pitch can result in a bite!

SDFD, Buddy you gotta get on some LTA jig fishing. I got a 2-12 on Saturday on my 7'6" hvy, 1000 Scorpion, 50# superbraid combo. (You should) "FEEL WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING"

But see the problem is I wouldn't use the Helium that much because I just don't jig fish. Now if I start jig fishing alot more that I may have to get me one but I would rather get a crankbait rod thet i will use alot more.

Get one of each. LOL Seriously though, since I've started jig fishing more I'd rather pitch a jig all day than anything else. There's just something about the rhythm & precision that does it for me.

Yeah I would like to get one of each, i should have gotten a few at the Flw Championship when they were on sale but i had to get a reel instead. When you are catching fish on flukes and crankbaits you don't wanna fish with anything else.

What reel?

Team Daiwa X HSDF

I've never used one of those. Is it very light weight? Do you know how it compares to a Scorpion 1000 MG?

I tried to post earlier but I guess it didn't work.

I have never used a Scorpion 1000 MG so I can't really compare them. The Scorpion I would say will be lighter than the TDX because it has a magnesium alloy body. I have several TD X's and you won't be disappointed if you get one although if you are looking for a reel I would wait until November and get the new Daiwa Fuego. It also like the Scorpion has a magnesium frame but it will only be 229.95 and after playing around with it at the Flw Championship I think it will be my favorite reel.
