Carp from hell

Dshow28 · 04-03-10, 10:26 PM

Ok, so while bass fishing today I caught a monster carp on a lippless crankbait. The fish snapped my MH BPS Extreme rod in two, and broke a trebble hook on my crankbait when I was trying to get it out of the fishes mouth... Nothing like tearing up your tackle on a trash fish.

Man i hate it when that happens dchow. So sorry pal.

Dshow28 · 04-03-10, 10:34 PM

I hope BPS will replace the rod. If not, I've been eyeing up the Vendettas

BassinNC · 04-03-10, 11:22 PM

Yeah that sucks. Hate to hear it

BigBassin144 · 04-04-10, 08:52 AM

That does suck... You know how Bill Dance has scuba divers to put the fish on for him?

Well, the monkey was the one it the scuba suit putting that fish on your hook. See, it worked, now you need a new rod

Lol BB, I have no doubt that the monkey had a hand in it.

Cavs1123 · 04-04-10, 02:36 PM

wow that sucks dude... BPS is usually pretty good bout replacin rods though

Bassboss · 04-04-10, 07:36 PM

Damn man! That really sucks, but it happened for the greater good I'm sure!

Them Vendetta's feel amazing too, I like the reel seat, but only if it's got a reel on it! If you don't mind a bit wider reels, than they feel GREAT on Daiwa HSTA's (they don't feel wide at all to me, but some people think so

)!

Personally, I don't consider anything trash fish....and I'd like to meet the carp who could snap my rod.

Obviously, you've never fished for walleye and caught only a bunch of stupid, bait stealing, stupid little white bass, lol.

Man that sucks, but at least all that got broke on a fish and not a tree or something.

Justin2729 · 04-05-10, 11:38 AM

lol, I bet u hate carp now.

screwballl · 04-05-10, 03:15 PM

normal carp are trash, like catfish... but the green/olive grass carp aren't too bad.

Dshow28 · 04-06-10, 03:29 PM

Ok here's the deal. BPS agreed to replace the rod, or they would allow me my cost on the rod to put toward a different one. My cost on the rod was about 50 bucks, (combo price). So if I had it replaced with the extreme it would cost nothing, and to switch to the Vendetta would cost me about 20 or 30 bucks. I know the Extreme retails at a little more than the Vendetta, but that doesn't nessesarily mean it's a nicer rod. Any advice from someone who has used both?

Extremes are awesome rods. I have 4 or 5 of them and really like em. But we just got the vendettas in at the store and they feel and look AWESOME.

screwballl · 04-07-10, 11:46 AM

Can't go wrong either way Dshow... I say just run with the Extreme and put the money towards some line and lures that you don't really need
