Cabelas XML Casting Rods - Page 2

I like the Silver MAx's because they were cheap enough (I got them in a $70 Lightning Rod combo that I phinegled down to $40 each) for me to risk finding out I didn't like Baitcasters while being quality enough for me to find out if I didn't like baitcasters.

I am in the process of getting some even better Abu's now so you know how that decision went. I imagine I will sell my Silver Max's to a good home at some point, but they are good reels.

I just got mine, I loving it! Very light and sensitive!

In fact, I'm loosing more jig cause I'm using my "free hook sets" well hook set are free, but jigs are not!

Doesn't look like they added it to mine. Maybe they forgot lol

I think there's like a 6 or 8 dollar shipping charge on 1 piece rods over 6'.

I'm looking foreward to payday this comming wednesday. I'm going to buy a new Revo for the 6 1/2 MH action rod I got this week. Gee, it must be Christmas in July.

It must be. A guy on a local forum told me when he went to BPS here, they had the Daiwa Zillion 50th anniversary reels onsave for 149.97. Holy Crap, I though. I'm gonna spen the last of my gas money and get one. So today, I called over there to make sure they had some left. They did. I asked if they were on clearance. The lady said, "Yep, only 249.97" I thought knowing your numbers was fundamental... oh well, no fire engine red reel for me.

I still want to order one of those Cabela's rods.

Woohoo yeah baby. Snuck out for about an hour tonight just as it was getting dark and starting tossing a Strike King Rage Frog on my new Cabelas XML 7 foot heavy action casting rod. Paired with a Cabelas Prodigy casting reel and 30 pound Power Pro line. The bass were giving me smiles as I caught 4 from shore in that short time, the best being a 4 pounder. I gotta tell ya, the rod performed wonderfully! The sensitivity in that rod is amazing allowing me to feel every tick of every piece of vegitation the from touched. I can't wait to get the 6 1/2 footer set up to try out.
