Sweeper/Lipless Rod
For those of you who don't know what a "sweeper" rod is, it's a stouter rod used to search open water with larger spinnerbaits. St. Croix uses this term on its Legend Tournament Bass rods; I'm not sure if other companies do or not.
Anyway, this is what I've decided to get my next rod for: big, 1/2 ounce and up spinnerbaits, along with the bigger lipless baits. I have an idea for a reel, but I'm not quite sure about a rod. What would you recommend for these types of baits? As to line, I was thinking 15-pound mono, possibly 30-pound Power Pro. Feel free to throw in any ideas. We're brainstormin' here... -Buzz |

I have a high speed reel with MH allstar for that kinda setup. Keep in mind that those heavier spinnerbaits are harder to find sometimes. They move much slower than the standard 3/8 or 1/4 ounce. I use 20 lb low vis

You mean you dont have a crankin, froggin, jigging, swimbait, spinnerbait, sweeping, mowing, raking, bagging, recycling, topwater, soft plastic, and suspending setup (not counting duplicate rods with varying line strength/type, and length depending on the current bait).
Man I dont see how you fish without a seperate rod for every bait you throw, what do you do when you want to throw something different, cut a bait off and tie a new one on? lol, tie a new bait on the same rod sometimes I kill myself. |

Yea, in your mind.
Anyways, its not worth getting into a longlasting war of words with you, but you are full of ****, you couldnt afford all that stuff even if you sold drugs for cash, you steal posts from other members, recite what you hear from bassmaster over and over again, you are a pawn for the tackle companies and a pariah on here. If you really had so much money to spend on all this crap you wouldn't be trying so hard to bilk someone out of a meager 12 bucks for those topwaters, you would just eat your money like so many of us have - truth is you are a bloody liar. Other kids typically pop up and become problems just like you but normally they shut up after a while and learn to actually fish instead of talk a good game, you know good members like Crankybait who I am proud to discuss fishing with - you are a bull****ter first and a fisherman last. Sweeper stick, wtf? I cant believe some of ths crap they sell.

I actually was trying to help you fit in for a while, let you learn the ropes. Do you realize that about every longstaning member here is sick of your crap and talks about it behind your back? Now please do piss off. Find another board full of tackle nerds who you can impress with your garbage. I heard the BPS forum is a good place to start.

And who's the one who got started talking of how many rods I have???
I try to ask a question and I always seem to get ruled out. I take enough of this crap at school, let alone on here. I thought this was a place anyone could come for leisure and to talk fishing, but I guess even fishing is going to hell in a handbasket.. -Buzz |

Man talk about a place for putting your rods in a fourteen footer. That's the size of my boat and sometimes I have 8 or 9 rods in the boat. Of those never more than 2 spinning. Now this is on some small lakes that I fish. You read a lot of posts and a lot of guys almost make you feel like you need a ton of different rods for each method. I almost feel like my 7ft. mh could be my all around rod. Some times I can cut it down to 3. One for most baits, one froggin and flipping. The third for whatever the particular lake calls for. It's just easier to pick up a rod already rigged instead of changing baits.

Suggestion, end this thread and move on... No one is forced to read or respond to anyone else... In the words of that famous ambassador for peace, Rodney King ... can't we all just get along?
