great looking baits! i use to throw alot of those baits. looks like the tails on those things are well intact.

i would definitely think about putting them into action, after all thats why they were made. if you oppose, i would suggest putting them into a portrait box of some sort and display them on the wall.

either way, it looks like you have a project on your hands this year.

great pics! thanks for sharing

if you do not have any passengers this is easy. recline the passenger seat as far down and back it can go. open the passenger door, and place the tip of the as far back behind the driver as you can. then place the handle on the floor mat of the passenger seat, and place the tip all the way to the rear driver's side. i can fit 8ft rods into most vehicles this way

WOW! great

awesome catches

thanks! gonna watch this one. it is interesting how some people live.

the 1st pic is so calming

glad you found it!

I'm a Shimano Curado fan too.

High speed reel is a must. Think about how many presentations you will be making - now think about how much line you will be pulling in each time.

If you already picked out a rod, I say go into your local shop and put on a reel. Make sure the reel feels comfortable and doesn't cause your hand to cramp. Ergonomics will play a huge factor on how long you will fish...

wow!

varying the size of lures works well. place the heavier lures (higher ROF) at the bottom of the setup.

i use:

SHIMANO Curado 301 DVS

6.3:1 ratio

i figure you can slow down any quick reel to any pace, but you can never get a low ratio reel to speed up (especially when you need to catch up to a fish).

i know this is a very old thread, but i would rather not start a new one.

DOBYNS 795 / 806 would be a good place to start. great rods! get use to the longer handle rods. trust me - your body will thank you later.

great read! good to hear someone is taking advantage of these types of lures.

AWESOME!!!

harrison is right, its more about different presentation. show them a different look and you will get a different reaction.

DOBYNS 795 ML SB is a proven rod for this setup.

read the first and last pages.

im new here, but this is very touching. hope all is well, and stay strong!

sounds like a great deal!
