New Setup!

BigBurlyBass · 03-04-11, 05:30 PM

So, it is about spring time again and about time to get a new rod and reel

.

I've had my eyes on the new Skeet Reese baitcasting reel and Tessara rods for months now and the Gander mountain paper came in the other day and the Tessara rods are like 30 bucks off the original price of 90 dollars; come on 60 bucks for one of these rods ya just can't go wrong

. So, I was wondering what you guys think of these rods and reels, and if anyone else is getting a new set up for themselves this spring.

Oh, by the way, The two rods I have been looking at are the "Spinnerbait/worm" rod and the "Jerkbait/topwater" rod. Leaning towards the spinnerbait/worm rod.

i can see the monkey loading his gun........aiming................boom! he pulled the trigger on ol burly bass. hahahahaha.

BBB I almost bought one the other day. I was lookiong at the micro spinning but went with a veritas instead. I got the veritas to match the revo reel. I'd give em a shot if I was gonna pull the trigger again though.

I found it very interesting to see Brent Chapman using them in the Classic. I kind of felt bad for the guy having a deck full of Skeet rods and reels and Skeet himself fishing close by.

I have 3 skeet rods with BPS PQ reels on all. I like mine!

walkeraviator · 03-05-11, 07:28 AM

I guess I will be "that guy" today. I just never liked the Skeet Rods. I havent handles the reels, but the rods just seem like holding a telephone pole. I will give em points for looking cool though. I get sick of the same old black, green, or dark red rods. Quantum makes a Shaw Grigsby model rod, i want a whole collection of rods that color blue.

I'm with ya walker. I didn't like the rods or the reels.

BassinBandit has one of the spinnerbait/worm rods and loves it. He also has one of them 42' long (really just 7'10") cranbait rods he hasn't used alot yet.

Keep in mind that the price they show includes a send in rebate, so you will have to pay closer to the original price up front.

BigBurlyBass · 03-05-11, 02:27 PM

Thanks for your wisdom haha. but I know about the rebate and all that, ( wish it was just on sale for that much off, but o well

) ,
