I am not in a rush to get a reel. I want to make sure I make the right purchase. I don't want to buy on impulse. I need to research the reel and and mate it with my rod to make sure its what I want.

True.....And I will be honest. BPS has limited selection on rods and reels. IMO they try to sell you on their BPS brand stuff. Best find a tackle shop that carries some variety.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of their selection either. About half their baitcasters are the BPS brand.

Remember to look at BPS on-line. The one line of reels that bps doesn't carry are Lews reels.

Well Lou you were right, I did sneak out for one more trip. Was tough fishing but I managed to get 4. 2 will cull my limit. A 17 will cull my 15.5 and a 18 will cull one of my 16's.

That gives me 16 + 16.75 + 17 + 17.25 + 18 = 85

Two came on U-Rig and two came on a single Swimbait.

Tried to give the top guys a run for their money, but came up a little short. Congrads to Lou & LMG for 1st & 2nd if their score holds up for tomorrow. I know I'm done as I got plans for tomorrow.

Don't know how much I'll get in for next month, maybe a day or two to start, then I'll be tied up with Bike Week for 10-12 days or so. I'll hit it again after it's over.

Here are my two from today: 17 & 18

Sorry to see you go Boats, was hoping to meet you some day at the Classic or another meet. Probably will still you posting on another site, if it is the one I think it is.

Hope no one here did something to offend you. Best of Luck.

Don't count me out yet boys!
I'd like to cull my one of my 13" with this 15.25

That should put me at 71.25 if I am not mistaken.
