Re: Rod builders
John -- Really important matching reels to rods for quite a few reasons - primarily guide height and spacing. Lot of folks have specific handle lengths and handle material along with reel seat specifications...I try to have the person wanting the rod to get me the reel they'll use but if they aren't...

Re: Rod builders
a 30 year old bad habit... I had an ACL done way back when and was bored to tears - it's been downhill ever since. Compared to what some of the Pro's do, I'm a complete amateur.

Re: Rod builders
Batson Revelation and Eternity blanks, or, Northfork Composites (G Loomis) Xray blanks are my preferred choices for spinning / jigging rods. Labels are factory and the River Rod's labels are from Decal Connection. Turn the cork on a Jet lathe. That does make a mess and takes quite a bit of clean up ...

Re: Vexilar parts
OK Dennis, Just shipped them via UPS. I'll text you with the tracking info. You are getting the pile - 2 puck transducers, cables, switches, and some mounting hardware.

Re: Qustion for John Bales
20lb Suffix 832 with some kind of leader. No bo, wire, a piece of 50 lb mono for the pike, whatever the situation calls for but never without some kind of leader. Braid to #10 swivel and then to leader or braid with a double uni knot to a no bo leader and then a snap. Everyone has their own thought...

Re: water color / muddy water
Thanks Fran and Steve. All comes back to STABILITY and water conditions as John mentioned I guess. When the water gets mudded up overnight along with huge increases in flow I shouldn't expect much I guess. Just that I know the fish are there and still eating and it's bugged me for years.
