Location: Combined Locks, WI | I just signed a contract with Quarrow Performance Rods out of Texas. Bill Ortiz tipped me off on these last fall prior to the PWT Championship. He likes them better than his G Loomis rods. Mine will be here tomorrow, I can't wait to fish with them. Feel free to contact me for more information.

| Juls, all this heckling should have taken place BEFORE I was up visiting Jerry at the boat show Friday. I could have given him one upside the worm box for you! hehehe
I've been using Gander Tournament Series the past couple years. 6'ML are my favorites for vertical jigging.

| Nice selection Rodman.
I like the St Croix Avid series: AS63MXF for vertical and the AS69MLXF for pitchin. going to try the new Tournament walleye series this season, I'll let you know. So far, they seem a great combo of the Legend Elites and the Avids |

Location: Rockford MN | Seems I owe Juls a public apology here. I see she has taken issue with what I saw as a joke. Sorry Juls! If infact anyone ever has issues with something I type here, you can click on my name! You see will see my real name and my e-mail address. Feel free to use them at anytime, when you feel I have degraded or belittled you. I will always try to make what someone might preceive as a bash right! Once again if you feel that I was unprofessinal here Juls I'm sorry.

| 6' bob Izumi series medium light spinning rod for jiggin. its a reeally nice rod and its the same as a g-loomis and st-croix just not as stupidly expensive. |
|
| |

| I love the fact that we have so many great rods on the market. I love Loomis rods, I kow they cost but I want the best! I still believe they are the best, just look at the # of companies that have tryed to copy them over the years. |

| Only G. Loomis in my boat.
For days when the wind is blowing, I like a shorter rod so as to avoid much of the wind bucking. These are all 6 footers.
SJR720IMX (1/32-1/4oz)
SJR721IMX (1/16-5/16oz)
SJR722IMX (1/8-3/8oz)
Normal conditions, verticle jigging. These are 6'6"
SJR781IMX (1/16-5/16oz)
SJR782IMX (1/8-3/8oz)
Pitching, or deep water jigging. This one is 7'6"
SJR902IMX (1/4-5/8oz)
As long as we're talking jigging rods, when I fish smallmouth bass I usually pitch tube jigs, and use one of the G. Loomis "Bronzeback" series rods.
SMR882S-SP 7'4" (1/8-3/8oz) Fast Action

Pitching rods I like the IMX 782
