This was a Craigslist deal, if it was an open deal I would have emptied out my bank account....



C7, casts like a dream. I caught a fish on my first cast ever fishing the rod in water. I begin with a 1/2 Booyah Black/Blue jig. I knew this would be very easy to flip due to its weight and short distances. As I stated, first flip, fish on.

Very shortly after, I put on the crankbait shown which was quiet light. My first cast was a terrible overcast. Slight backlash. Played with the settings a little and the advanced brake system. Every cast on was great.

Next put on a willow leaf spinner bait (I believe 3/8ths). Played with settings, every cast great. Second cast using spinnerbait catch decent bass.

Next and lastly the big test, baitcaster and senkos. I put a finesse hook on the braid, hook on a 7inch watermelon candy, and set the settings/braking system. Continue to catch many fish on senkos, generally small, backlash free.

Needless to say, the rod is superb. My only thought in the beginning was that it was a little lite for flippin'. Then I realized I've got myself one flippin' stick already so I might as well continue this as a finesse baitcaster, so thats what it is.


I'd say it was a thumbs up deal.


Now, Friday I am heading over to an acquaintence that is a Quantum Rep. He sent me an e-mail and told me his 2011 shipment just came in. Man, I am happy we took him Salmon fishing last year. Sucking up really helps ya out.
