Dan668 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Money isn't an issue. But I could get a good reel and rod for that price. Both my reels have a slower rate of retrieve so I want a quicker ratio. Fish for pike bass and walleye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Could always get a m action rod and switch the reels around Lol. I don't really follow a rod for specific techniques. As long as I have a rod ready without having to retie every lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan668 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Want to stay away from quantum. havent had much luck with them in the past I do however prefer magnetic brake. easier to change. although i can cast with either methods no problem. Any rod recommendations. Stuck with shimano before because of their warranty. Edited March 4, 2009 by danbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've read good reviews of this on another site --> the Daiwa Zillion. Price is considerably lower than the Steez, and has the fastest retrieve ratio out there. 7.3 : 1 I'm not positive to how much it costs in CDN, but good luck in choosing your reels! Here's the link to the reel: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...0001000_100-1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any rod recommendations. Stuck with shimano before because of their warranty. If I had the choice right now I would like to give some of the new e21 rods a shot. I would probably mate it with a new curado 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC1 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 e21 is carrot stix. I am telling you from reading that people love the gold carrot stix, which is supposedly very light. Lifetime warranty, and their head office is in downtown Toronto, you probably should look into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoneFishin Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ha the gold one is sort of pricey. Have to order from the states to You can find them around Ontario. I was set on getting a carrot stix or two but after I handled one in Gagnons Sports I decided it wasn't for me. They seem like a fairly beefy rod although they are supposed to be really light and didn't seem very sensitive. I think I'm gonna go with the Premier or Mojo. I haven't had much experience with higher end rods though but it would probably be a good idea to handle one before buying off the internet.

Dan668 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Might go for a powell rod.maybe a heavier rod since one I use for cranks and spinners and the other is around.

Anyone order from tackle warehouse before. I have ordered from there before. They have good service but be careful ordering rods from the states. I have done so in the past and out of 4 rods, 2 have arrived broken despite the fragile stickers all over the tube. BPS has St Croix mojos for sale. about $100 and they are pretty beefy.
