New rods.
On Tuesday I bought a new 7' one piece Cherrywood spinning rod to use for soft plastics, mostly worming. I only used it one time and failed to land the only bass that bit. I was however very pleased with the rods action and it was quite sensitive.
However I mentioned to my sister that there was a rod at Dick's I saw yesterday and really wanted, and she said, well lets go get it then. Next thing I know I have a 6' one piece medium action Berkley Amp rod! I used the Amp tonight and I really like it. It may be the most sensitive rod I have ever used. It has a very fast tip, and I love the short handle it has on it. It is also a very light rod, which cuts down on fatigue. I didn't manage to land a fish with it this time, but the two that struck were tiny. Don't know what I will do with the Cherrywood. I may return it, but maybe not. I dunno yet.

Awesome man! Getting new gear is always so much fun!
And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one the monkey has been on lately! BB

Picked up another Amp rod tonight. It is identical to the first one, just in the casting version.
Monkey.

I'm glad to hear the monkey's are doing you guys proud. That means he's leaving me alone for a while.

You've gone from Ugly Stiks to St. Croix pretty quickly, you are in trouble my friend! Just wait until your monkey gets his hands on a high end baitcaster.
