cynmar Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 God, that's a downpayment on a house. Nice gear but I sure as heck couldn't afford it, I'd be afraid to get it all wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Thats a long rod for skipping. I switched to a 6' st.croix spinning rod for skippig and find it far more accurate. I can run it mush tighter to the water as well. Edited June 6, 2012 by jedimaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah_long Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I tried a shorter rod but I prefer to have the rod tip closer to the water for skipping I'll be doing some pictures of my spinning gear soon... I have the following matched up Daiwa Certate 2500 HA w/ Rapala Concept Ti 6'8MH Daiwa Fuego 1500 w/ NRX Drop Shot For Crappie Daiwa Certate Vintage Custom 1503 w/ TSR792 Shimano Sustain 1000 FG w/ TSR791 For Walleye the Rapala Concept Ti combo for bucktails Fuego 6'10 Medium w/ one of the Spinning reels I'm not using that day for lighter jig heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my T3 out a few times this year; casting machine! but could be a bit smoother on the retreive. take it apart and put some hot sauce grease on the gears.. the T3 came poorly lubricated.. me and my buddies all have this issue.
