    I just picked up a Mojo Bass, and broke it in pretty fast. 8wt though. Also for some reason my reel seat nuts back off pretty fast, I have to retighten them every couple casts...

    Caught 3 other bass and about 7 gills throwing a frizz's spoon. This was the "good" bass

    My go to Streamer (big streamers) rod here in Maine on big rivers is a St Croix Bank Robber. I only use heavy sink tip/shooting head line with it. It's like casting a 2x4, but it'll cast those big flies and heavy line a country mile with just a couple double hauls.

    what species are you fishing for? What size streamers?

    Most of mine are small dollys and foam body mice. With streamers I target browns and bigger rainbows.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Nice, I will be breaking mine out next weekend from a long hiatus. We are camping at a state park with a lake full of panfish, bass, and pickerel. I've got to get busy tying some bass stuff. There are some blue lines around as well so the trout gear is also coming...as long as the water temps support it.

    Oops, got side tracked. Yeah was able to make it into the local shop and played around with a few rods. I’ll be picking up a Sage Pulse and probably in a 7wt instead of the 6wt. The rod is a little more expensive than I planned so here in a couple weeks I’ll have enough to pick it up.
