Absolutely agree with DIED.

I have G-Loomis rods, but also have Cabela's IM7 graphite setups that work great.

Like DIED I also use spirex spinning reels. I have eight of them. \:o I love the quickfire mechanism for casting--I'm lost without it--and the drag system is really well designed, especially the one with rear drag.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
