stinger-1

Still available

SOLD Two Fenwick Riggerstik DR82C (8' 2") 3/8--1 oz lure, 8--20 lb line Great for spring browns, bows or kings. Both rods are brand new in plastic, never seen water, one of them still has the tag (with "Lifetime Warranty" written on it ) Made in USA. $100 each obo (plus shipping if required ) Located in Scarborough, Ontario SOLD

For that reason alone, I like Down East Salty rod holders, I place the reel in the middle of holder, (a little PITA but safer) the rod can not break below the reel and it never slips out of the holder even if it is pointed down to water.

600 will take 1000' of 30# wire nicely, just make sure you wrap some mono or some electrical tape on the spool before winding the wire on.

Braid is OK in early seson but becomes a mess when the fleas start to show up (like anytime from now) I run 15# mono in the spring, 20# mono early summer and 30# mono when the fleas are bad. I like to run as thin a line as possiable for better lure action but thicker diameter collects less fleas. as for the divers, I only run wire all season long.

LC has bushings and a black composite graphite/plastic spool LCA has 2 ball bearings and gold anodized aluminum(metal) spool. both reels have graphite frame with metal outer rings. out of the two, I would go with LCA, specially for wire diver application. I would think a graphite/plastic spool will evetually crack under pressure. Better then the above two is the new LCX series, way better/smoother drag, corrosion resistant bearings and a power handle a very nice reel for $135 IMO
