| Whats your favorite all around rod ,from throwing MirroDines to small pinfish or jumbo shrimp ? I'm hoping my new greenwater 8'2" spinner will fit the bill , I'll be using it for the first time at Apollo Beach this weekend..Trout , Reds , Snook what ever I can catch. I'm using a older Sahara 4000fb |

| | Well the greenwater had a guide ring that was cracked on it , took it back bought the St.Croix TIS76MF Tidemaster and love it I used it all day Friday and Saturday , gonna try the Med.Light 7'6 for plastics. And maybe the 8' heavy for my baitrunner 3500 (bigger live bait , heavier fish) |

| | John, I have the 8' Tidemaster heavy 15-40 spinning with an Okuma VS80. What a great combo for larger fish. You'll like it. I spent a few years upgrading my stuff, these are all my favorites. For inshore I also use: St.Croix Legend Inshore 7' 10-20 spinning with a Cabo 40, G Loomis IMX 7' 8-17 spinning with a VS40, G Loomis IMX 7'6" 10-20 spinning with a Cabo 40, Legend Inshore 6'6" 10-20 casting with Penn Sargus, Quantum Cabo 7' 8-17 casting with Energy PTS, Techna AV 6'6" 10-25 casting with Cabo CBC20 PTS, G Loomis GLX 9' 2-pc 8wt. and 9wt. I would give the Greenwater another chance. It is far lighter than the Tidemaster. Or get a Legend Inshore, lifetime warranty, feather light...Well worth it. (Try ebay) On a side note, I purchased a Sustain FE 4000 to use with 7' Legend and what a P.O.S!!! it started off fine but during the first trip out with it, it got harder to turn handle and 'grinding' under the rotor/shaft. I returned it and got another Cabo. To each their own, You could not give me another saltwater Shimano. (Well, you could give it to me but I'd exchange it for something else.) I do use a Chronarch for bass fishing and it's worked just fine. |
