Hey,
What kind of pink rod is that? I need to get one for my lady and I didnt want to get her the standard pink uglystik deal from Bass Pro. I dont want to spend a fortune either cuz she wont use it all that often. We are going to naples in two weeks and id love to have that for her there.

Let me know,
Mikey

it actually is from wal-mart. when you reel it the reel have little lights that light up.i think it was $29.99. it was the only way i could get her to go fishing

Cool. The rod doesnt look too bad, I mean it isnt catching any records but it looks like it will do the trick.

Id really like to get her something better but Idk where I am gonna find that without spending a fortune.

its not that bad. shes caught big stingrays, big cat fish and ladyfish. but for $30 you cant beat it

its not a bad little rod. at night when the lights start lighting up everyone wants to use it. its funny to see full grown men asking if they can reel it in. she always out fishs me. I think its cuz i spend more time watching her pole while she reads a magazine than i watch mine.

my ex always out fished me, but she always uses frozen shrimp AND i have to act like her first mate. she calls other people to brag as well, yeah those twenty toads you caught (that i had to take off the hook) really embarrassed me. i let her have her moment, i'm not a ***k.

yea i do all the work but i like it when she catch's fish. i wish she could get a big one though. just wish she would stay longer. after about 2 hours shes done. but its still fun

cool; what size hooks were you using? I was out at mathers for a night trip 2 weeks ago; caught a couple nice trout, whiting, and a crap ton of catfish.

i also had 1 monster snook all the way up to the bridge; buddy was to slow with the net and it got off

honestly have no idea, probly 1/0-2/0. yea i seem to catch a lot of cats and trout at night there. what did u catch the snook on? once the bait starts running through there it gets fun, BIG tarpon sit right under the bridge and will hit almost anylive bait dropped in front of them.

believe it was cut mullet; possibly frozen shrimp.

i finally got some live bait about 10 mins before we headed out (shrimper netted us some threadfins)

i believe it. i was fishing for jacks for shark fishing about 3yrs ago in the intercoastal in jupiter and caught a 38.2lb snook on a cut sardine and 10lb test line. best fish in the world.think it was a line class record but never followed up on it.

40lb snook

awesome

we gotta get together up at mathers so you can show me the ropes; im pretty new at this fishing thing
