ckrb2007 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Well, I picked up my gear today. I went with a 7' Abu Garcia Verdict MH casting which will pair up nicely with my Abu Garcia Revo STX which I already had and I also grabbed a 6'8" St.Croix "EYECON" snap jig rod to pair with the Pflueger Supreme 9040XT I bought. (the one on sale for $69..reg $140). As much as I live for ice fishing....I can't wait for softwater now! Cheers, Colin Edited February 19, 2011 by ckrb2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 The next month or two will go so slow. Next to Oct and Nov the next month and 1/2 is the best time of year to steelhead fish. Things are just getting interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 You will love the supreme, I grabbed one and a new rod to go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrb2007 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think I will! I didn't just buy it because of the price. It feels like a good solid reel......nice and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I've been considering that reel for the past few days. Did the store have many left? Figured I would check out the spring show first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrb2007 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) When I was at the counter, I asked the guy if they had any of them left and he said "do we have any left???... of course we do!!" kind of like I asked him a stupid question.....then he looked at the shelf and said "hmmmm, they were right there this morning." I was thinking, great just my luck...none left. He did find one on another shelf after a few minutes looking, so I'm thinking that they don't have many left.......I could be wrong though.

Figured I would check out the spring show first. On Tuesday they only had the 2 biggest sizes left, they will be out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
