The Monkey got me 2024
Fishin' Fool reply :
I've been really bad (or good depending on your perspective) this off season about ignoring the rod monkey in my head. He has talked me into buying the following:
1) 7'6" Dobyns Champion Extreme spinning medium light
2) 7' St Croix Avid X medium fast casting rod
3) 7'7" Daiwa Zillion crankbait rod
4) 7' Dobyns Fury 705CB medium
5) 7'3" St Croix rage medium spinning rod
I know....I know...maybe 4 too many??? What's your favorite in the list?
Cgrinder reply :
Hopefully you're getting these on sale. No need to pay retail in February, though I am hearing of some open water in places. Solid rods for St. Clair though, depending on what you throw.
Fishin' Fool reply :
Ya all on sale except the Avid X which I had gift cards for. I seriously need to stop looking online....ever.....again

Dude you need a tetanus shot after that encounter.
Raul reply :
The BaitMonkey didn´t "get" you, you´re not had until you have actually purchased the stuff only then you are got, otherwise it doesn´t count.
Fishin' Fool reply :
I bought all of those Raul
Its more than the window shopping monkey that got me

OK, so ....
WHERE ARE THE DARN PICS ?!?!
Fishin' Fool reply :
How do I insert pictures? I'm not tech savvy enough to figure this out.
I was mistaken about one rod. The Rage is actually the Avid Neo which I got half off from the St Croix website. But I think it's basically the same as the Rage.
Raul reply :
Drag the pic and drop it in the box or choose the file from your PC and upload it.
Fishin' Fool reply :
I just use my phone. Can you do it that way?
Montanaro reply :
Click "click to choose files" find your picture and insert it.
Fishin' Fool reply :
The Avid X just got delivered today. I'll see if I can round up the others.

NICE !!!
Thanks for sharing.
RB 77 reply :
Yeah, the monkey got you alright! Haha. Nice haul.
Fishin' Fool reply :
Still trying to figure out my favorite. It may be the Avid X. It's light as a feather!

I bought another IKE rod a coupe weeks ago. 7' medium, 70-5. I'm all set with what I have now. 9 rods are enough for me to catch as many bass as my ability will allow!
KP Duty reply :
How does that zillion feel in hand? I'm in the market for a 7'6"-7'11" 1/4-3/4oz crankbait rod and that's one I've considered.
new2BC4bass reply :
Wow. Forget the rods..................those are a couple nice fish. 
Congratulations on the new rods. I was at a Sports Academy today for the first time. There were a few rods I wouldn't have minded taking home, but managed to dodge the Bait Monkey. Mainly because 4 new reels have been delivered to my home the past 5-6 days. The 7' Medium Medium-Fast Crucial is a beautiful looking rod, and is an action I only have one rod in. Good thing there was no sale going on.
How about some reviews once you get a chance to use those new rods?

It's solid but I'm not sure it's worth the $210 I got it for on Ebay which is $50 less than retail. I need to fish with it to decide. Does the Dobyns Champion line have something that size that would work for you?
Also on the St Croix website you could pick up a Rage casting rod for $89 in either 7'6" or 7'8" both MH but one is moderate and one is moderate fast. I don't know about that handle though.

What about just the Tatula rod too? From the reviews I read after I bought the Zillion it had me questioning if the extra was worth it. Tatula gets solid reviews and can be had for around $100 on sale.

The baitmonkey gets us all at one point or another, nothing to be ashamed of! Congrats on the rods! And nice smallies too dude!
How's the Fury 705? I thought about it for a general purpose, maybe even a squarebill rod.... I love my Fury 795, great rod!!!

I haven't thrown it yet but I like the feel of it for $100. From what I read, it seems like people rate the Fury better than or equal to the Savvy.
