Yeah thought might be an issue as company has a statement that it wont any longer bleed due to being sealed.Noticed however after being cut near the knot it is pink,same pretty much with my red fluro.Red fluro,red braid am I seing a pattern,hope not but the sumo bubblegum pink frog will feel at home.

So many mfg make braid in bright colors like yellow etc,why we all arnt blind.I kind of like to hide my line,as much as possible.

And yes like the power pro for that reason,sort of vanishes at lower pd tests.

As for the red fluro was free,as for the red braid just trying something us made,but lord wish it twwas green,brown anything but orange ,yellow or red.They say however red is first to disappear,but would rather camo it than trust that,usage will tell.

About the line issue,man im seeing red.Wanted to try the stuff as made in usa.

Man am I seeing red ,Scarlet Ohara red , lipstick red,think ill always wear shades when in use.

Yup it came in today. 6.97 a spool of 125 yards,2 of 40(12pd diameter) one of 50(14lb diameter).

Although the new rod could take both am putting the 50 on the kistler to use wuth the 1 oz king spro frog,putting 40 on the all star rod as will double as my jig rod,it is a jig-frog combo.With that 7/1 reel it doesnt take long to wind it back and toss to another bush,or target.

It feels right at home pitching and for a med heavy is stouter than normal,yet lighter than my jig rods,yet if no jig bite ants all top action a froggin we will go.

Great rod for a nonboater that will do double duty,when restricted to just a few rods,and for a boater imagine it would be top choice would be in mine.

It tosses a country mile if needed.Yet weight isnt bad.

Shucks out of 6 items 5 from ebay all are here but 1 not from ebay and its the line.

If not here soon hooks and horns will sell one spool,lol.

Ordered three for what i could get 1 there for,but dont help if it aint here.

As it turns out built much like the kistler and the carrot stix,more backbone than the med heavy carrot stix and less than the kistler heavy action,to be expected somewhat as a med heavy,but fair amount more than the carrot stix.Which I rate for 4 1/2 pds back in the jungle.Same rating od mine  puts the kistler at 6-7 and this 5-6 pds maybe more coupled with a 7/1 reel instead of a 6/2 or 6/3.

Not heavy or hard on the hand either,just couldnt find a decent bass to test it onthey are on strike for topwater except around pads and early.Early one gets ate up by skeeters and gnats.

Tva sprayers are broke down again,one of the reasons coupled with excess rain as to why so bad this year.

Tva also announced they have no grass removal  program right after they announced they had just finished spraying guntersville and nickajack,while discussing Wheeler and Wilson.

Naturally seperate pages.

Some flats are getting jumps,so topwater should work well there.

Oh boy,some of my stuff came today 1/0 double hooks,1 oz king spro rainforest black-spro popin frog-nasty shad,and my all star 7 ft 2 in jig -frog rod med heavy(teal green),feels heavier action than med heavy much more stuff to it than say the carrot stix,guesssing about as much as my kistler heavy action all most,having a fish on will tell.

Will place a reel I have already on it just to try that bad boy out.As one purchaced for it in 7/1 isnt yet here.

Actually dont know how much it weighs,just for that will do a lil research.

As for cost both the rod and reel for about 135 delivered,if im recalling correctly.

They also make a 7 ft 2 in thats very pretty frog rod and days light,yet only in med heavy and not for jerking 2-3 lb bass into airborne.

Kind expect it to be tad heavier again dont know how much but more of a flipping rod that can also be used frogging.

Definately researching it now.

Well adter drawing a flipper,who used an 8 ft rod,set the hook and from 15 ft one side of the boat landed 15 ft over the other side.

Decided to upgrade with a new outfit one that could double not only flipping but frogging since that is primarilly what I do.Didnt see any sence in having a rod suited to one then sitting at home.

Thought of Steves 8 ft he uses for spinnerbaiting,dont know how stout it is and cost range a tad more than what I desired to spend.

So checked out the frog  and combo rods on ebay,two came to my att both all star  as in my price range yet one was light and built like my carrot stix at 7 ft 2 in so flipping no not back in the jungle anyway.

Other rod was heavier (one must have drawbacks) looks more like a flipping jig stick,but a full 7 ft 11 in heavy action fast tip all star,billed as a flipping-frog  combo.

Matching it up with a Diawa Megaforce 9 oz 7/1 reel ,with 65 pd(15 pd mono diameter) cajin red braid(made in the usa).

Dont think its a light combo more like the heavy howlitzer to blast them out when needed.

But still usefull for frogging as well,sort of the heavy gun so to speak.
