October Bragging Rights

[ccr425]

I have seen the fish you have pulled from your  boring spots... not too shabby.

Takes to much effort to get there and the gators follow me around constantly. It's like race once I set the hook on a fish. Don't want them to get any of the big girls once I hook them!!

Well, ended up fishing a couple of ponds around my house tonight. Had two good bites, but only set the hook on one of them. Forgot my measuring tape. Calling it 17.5".....

17.5"   Caught on a Junebug Zoom Ole Monster worm

Nice WEST!! You will see that tin can take a little bit more of beating than glass. You can go into areas that you wouldn't  even dare put a glass boat through.

If you paint it silver and black you will never know the difference. Lol

I was loving it last night. The rod and reel are both amazing. Still trying the fluorocarbon......  It feels great while fishing the bottom, but I have an over run about every 5-6 casts unless a tighten up the cast control. This combo would be amazing with braid! I have noticed that all of my reels with the SVS Infinity make more noise/vibrations than my white 200E reels while casting. The 200E reels feel smoother and seem to cast smoother to me. On the other hand the 200E reels don't feel as "connected" and don't have the amount of power while reeling in fish. The X Ship makes a difference to me. I'm definitely getting another XX rod and Metanium combo. Probably the HG or XG model. They are very tight, precision feeling reels.

I like that boat, West. I'm looking for something like that also. It should serve you well. What all are you going to do or add to it? I'm sure we would all love to follow your progress in your own thread!

Nice rig. I think you will find it more than adequate to chase bass. I too had a glass boat, ended up selling it and buying a Lowe Skorpion package with a 40 hp 4 cycle and I love it!

So tempted. Just don't know enough about Daiwa reels. Almost bought a Zillion Type R a few days ago. Just couldn't bring myself to do it, lol.

Just get a regular Zillion for $200. You can do the worm gear bearing upgrade and cool ad ons yourself for less.

[LgMouthGambler]

Mikes got more of those DHSV's up for sale. Real good condition for real cheap!

[CountBassula]

Aaaaand I'm back :-)

[Capt. BassinLou]

Nice, but at that price I could make that DHSV out perform it for way less. People pay the price for 2 reasons: because they don't know how to tune, or they just want the reel itself. It is a beautiful reel though.

Only z Germans thought Poles were another race lol
