re: Help With New Reel

Depending on how nice the rods are, might be worth getting them repaired.
As to your question about spinning reel size, the larger spools can help with longer casting distance. If you don't ...

re: ALX Bass Rods

They're very well built rod. I'd give their craftsmanship an A.
As far as the individual rods, they seem to have a love-hate relationship with most bass fishermen.
The Zolo Toadface has a bit of a cult following as a frog and swimjig rod. If you want to give one a shot, it's the one I'd buy ...

Never fished the salinity but Waterloo rods seem to have a good enough following. I dont know anything about their manufacturing pedigree though. I think their lower end rods, like the salinity, are made south of the border and the higher end lines ...
re: Texas Rod Company and other Texas/LA rod makers

Those rods look to be all made from MHX blanks which are Chinese blanks. They put together the rods in Texas so it is "made in the US".
The specific one you linked is made with some of the cheapest components you can make a rod from. Yes, it's assembled in the US, but all the materials are indivi...

Kistler makes several rods in that price range. All except their bottom teir rods are assembled in Texas.
I'd be very leary of any custom builders offering rods in your budget. I build rods. A decent blank and components is going to run ~$125 at a minimum. Most charge $125-150 for a build fee so...

re: AliExpress Lowrance fishfinder - Is this legitimate?
Posted by The Last Coco on 3/15/24 at 8:44 am
AliExpress often has legit deals on real products.
A couple of things I look for before spending money on there:
- store name: if it's just "Shop1234567" etc... then they never even bothered to change the auto generated name. This usually is a eyebrow raiser.
- how many followers do they have...

Just built a Pelicans themed fishing rod - thought yall would appreciate it
Posted by The Last Coco on 3/8/24 at 8:39 am
I've combined 2 of my favorite things - Pelicans and fishing rods.
I was building another rod for my brother and asked him what his preferred color scheme was and he mentioned pels. The rod is a "do it all" rod so Herb's "Swiss army knife" nickname seemed apropos.
Enjoy.
