OUCH!! the bait monkey bit me..

zooker · 08-31-06, 06:24 PM

the bait monkey done got him a new set of teeth i tell ya..

i got a new combo-had to spend the over time money some how- that i think will really do well. i got a sirrus centuarian 6'6'' with the hybrid handle.. i found a good deal on a diawa procaster with 6.3:1 gear reel..

i loaded it with some 12 pound ande envy green. figure on using it for texas rigging the rod has great sensitivity..

all that sawmill OT comes in handy huh

ILfishinman · 08-31-06, 07:22 PM

thats sweet. what exactly is the hybrid handle?

Vabass22 · 08-31-06, 07:41 PM

It has mostly cork, but a little bit of something else in the handle (look in the pic.). It bit me a while back, and I bought a new setup, and 42$ worth of plastics.

zooker · 08-31-06, 07:47 PM

it feels like eva foam but softer..VERY comfortable

zooker

Vabass22 · 08-31-06, 08:02 PM

I felt one at the store, and it felt awesome, I'm wondering though, if it would absorb any shock, therefore lessening the sensitivity? Although, I guess you would feel it near the trigger.

zooker · 08-31-06, 08:09 PM

actually when palming the reel 2 fingers are actually on the blank where it is exposed near the trigger..
the heel of my hand rest on the foam...

Vabass22 · 08-31-06, 08:10 PM

I do the same thing with baitcaster, running the line between my thumb, and pointer finger. I dont use braid on a baitcaster, or else I would be in pieces......

skeeter944 · 08-31-06, 10:00 PM

Nice lookin' combo ya got there,zooker. how much did it cost ya?

zooker · 09-01-06, 03:57 AM

$140ish..

zooker

skeeter944 · 09-01-06, 07:46 AM

not too bad, it looks like it should last a while,so its worth every penny.

PowerBass · 09-01-06, 08:06 AM

zooker · 09-03-06, 09:36 PM

SIRRUS BOB sirrus rods not airrus rods..

zooker

pig n jig · 09-03-06, 10:01 PM

Zooker, Sirrus is Airrus,they changed the name.Same great rod but if you bought them off from the site, they were clearanced for a great price. I wish I could see one , there isn't anyone here that carries them.P N J

Rider · 09-04-06, 02:31 PM

How does that baitcaster work, Thats the next one Im getting.
Im putting it on a 6'6'' MH Bass Pro GS IM6, and spooling it with 30# Stren Super Braid

pig n jig · 09-04-06, 06:59 PM

Thats a procaster 6+1 . I have kept 2, had 7 at one time.The procaster 6+1 reel is a great reel for the money. P N J

zooker · 09-04-06, 07:48 PM

yeah as pnj said it is the procaster 100h the 6.3:1 geared reel very smooth very reliable reel for about $60 bucks thou the design is old school and has a flat top..i prefure the old flat top style better than the new style team diawa z configuration.. this style fits better into my big hand than others..

flfireman · 09-06-06, 12:49 AM

All that money and no time to fish. Hopefully the bait monkey don't get greedy. You'll be working OT to pay him down. Oh wait that's what I do.

Bass_fishing_girl · 09-06-06, 05:32 AM

Hey Zooker, congrats!! Let us hear about all the fishies that you catch. I haven't been fishing in soooo long, i think i forgot what it feels like!!
