Question for my girl.
She's been looking for a rod with a little pink on it and she spotted this one at dicks sporting goods, can anyone give feedback on it for me or give any suggestions on one she may like? Thanks.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Shakespeare-Lady...QQcmdZViewItem She knows the color doesn't make the fisherman and she's got a rod she's used for years, she's just looking for something 'cute'.

If her rod is old and beat up, you could just go buy her a $3 can of pink spray paint.
Oh that's right...it's for a girl. She won't go for it unless you tell her it was a $30 can of paint.

<-- insert message from his girl here. Hey! It's not beat up, I just want to feel like he does, getting something shiny and new! And besides, how could he possibly steal my rod if it's pink? Anywho. I found this one too that seems eh. I'm not into going for the big fish like he is, I'm happy with perch and sunfish and the little buggers that usually annoy him.

Hahaha...we're just teasing you. Believe me, if spending a bunch of money on unnecessary fishing stuff was a sin, well...99% of this forum would be toast. Buy what you like, Miss Bassassinator!

<-- La femme. Yeah, my question to you guys however, is will that rod actually stand up to handing a fishy, will it do what I'm looking for? I'm no pro bass chick yet, but I still like to actually *catch* something and not have my rod snap. Only had that happen once, and it was a my bad in rod selection years ago. Are either of those that I put up even decent? I'm not doing anything heavy duty, so would the shakespere medium ment to handle 8-17 pounds be okay? Would it be better for me to go with the 3-6 pound where as I'm not doing any heavy fishing? C'mon guys, bass man said you were all guru's here, help a girly out!
I swear I'll give him back his account soon! (Heading to bed, will check for replies in the am!)

LOL hey boys why dont ya let a chick who actually has pink rods answer. I have 1 pink rod that i LOVE, its from dicks and a spinner real and its got little l.e.d. lites on it. I have fought bass and got them to the boat without a problem. Also there are a few that are pink and black and a portion of the cost goes to Breast cancer research. My husband and i looked at them and they are great. ALso if you are wanting pink rods talk to tiger rods at the top of the page.............they will make one for ya.

I'd get a her a pflueger president lady combo, they're a bit lighter than the regular one. And they're also just a good quality combo to start with!

Just so you know, I have 2 of the one you first linked. One for each of my daughters (6 & 8). They work very well and they are not the most experienced fisherwomen (yet!).

My wife and daughter both have lady fishers, and they work just fine for an entry level rig. They will land plenty of fish for you. Though I would recommend the spinning reel model over the spincast.

Dang, Zook...I'm hurt. I just can't believe you would think that someone who is as in touch with his feminine side as I am would make fun of you for having a pink fishing pole......
Okay, enough of that.... ROFL!!

Hey i think you guys should buy all your wives pink computers, that way there is no fighting over the comp........Green knows what happnes when he uses my comp, he just loves seeing his posts show up as Pinbass. And besides we put up with you guys we deserve to be rewarded at each and every turn LOL............and i gotta tell ya, from what i have seem there is no hope at all of keeping you guys in line, i have adopted the theory .." if ya cant beat them..........." catch more bigger and more fish and post the pictures all over the forum" ...........now i just gotta catch more fish then Green.
