For sale or Trade....(brand new)

Postby Tikimahn » May Fri 11, 2012 3:27 pm

I just purchased a 6'8 MH Shimano Compre Reaction Topwater rod, Fast action tip 3/8-1oz... Looking to sell it after about 7 casts with it.... Nice rod, feels pretty good in the hands, fairly light however In my honest opinion it's not a topwater rod... at least not for the types of lures I use..... Tip is too soft to walk the dog aggressively the way I'm accustom too... It's also the way I fish about 85% of the time i'm on the water so I need to ditch this rod ASAP cuz topwater time is here and I can't miss out on too much of it.


Asking 90 or a Similar trade, but will negotiate a lil bit... I'm not trying to get raped, but I seriously just got the rod in the mail today and took it out... 3 casts with Top Knocker, and 4 with a Trap was enough for me to decide I don't want it. Felt good with the trap, but the tip sags too much when working a Walker.

Live in Worth(near Oak Lawn) can meet up if it's not too far.

BUMP!


Still trying to get rid of it, will sell for 70, or trade for an IM8 or similiar... I want something that's stiffer, I used a crappy BPS something or other rated at IM6 and it worked fine, the last one was a Browning Vectra at IM8... That worked even better... I know those are only modulus ratings or whatever to gauge sensitivity...What i'm getting at is i'll settle for less than IM9 or equivalent even though that's what this rod is rated... I absolutely need something I can walk the dog with aggressively, and i'm talking 5/8 oz lures not zara puppies or Super Spook Jr's.

Didn't we tell you this rod would not do it for you like 2 months ago?

Save the rod, fish a few more weeks without topwaters, save the scratch and buy a new one middle of June. Plenty of top action left after that. Hell, I bet you can find a Memorial Day sale right now.
