Cape Cod Canal - 2018

At the end of the day if it can cast a 3,4,5 oz jig repeatedly without breaking then it should work.  I went with the rainshadow 6-12 after having a couple big bass own me, couldnt turn them.  Last year I grabbed a odm jigster that performs well but wasnt cheap...casts a mile though.

Ive heard good things about the Jigster.

Tsunami makes a 10' 2pc in the 3-6oz range.

I have an 11' Air Wave rated up to 10oz. I jig with. Love it for the money. Also have a 10' Air Wave and a 10' TFO They are great plugging rods. I was looking at the ODM jigmasters. Not going to happen this year but maybe next. They are pricey. I use the Saragosa's on 2 of mine an 8000 and a 10000. The 3rd rod is a Dawia Emblem Pro. The older version not the newer style.

The jigster is my next rod. going to pair it with a saltiga 6500h or a saltiga 5500 expedition.

The jigster is ok...not anything over the top...its light and there are a number of rods that will do the same work for much cheaper.  I bought it because my buddy is prostaff with them and I needed an 11'er.  CMS built it and the first weekend of use I caught a sizeable bass and cracked some of the epoxy...

Those saltigas are nice units.  Also loved the older emblem pro.  Have a new one and a couple saltists kicking around collecting dust.

I'll be ready as soon as I put some flounder in the freezer before the big girls arrive. This one fell to an Al Gags Whip It Fish last year.

Yeah nice bike

LOL yes it is. I'll have to buy one someday. Yours looks better in the back ground than my Ratty bike

Ratty bike is the way to be if you are fishing at night.  Otherwise it could dissappear.  The gear theft issue has steadily increased with drug epedemic...

Mine is beat but was only 50 bones.

That ratty bike has some serious miles on it.... and constantly smells of stripah

a canal bike doesnt have to be anything special in most cases my basket cost more than the bike.

I like the trailer to carry the big girls if I decide to keep one here and there.

I hear ya there! But I did trade in my old bike for a new one, it made a world of difference on my Balky knees and bad ankle.

I wonder how that trailer would work out if you got caught in the middle of the Pan-Mass challenge?

Ha. A ranger lost his job for moving my bike and gear which was on the side of the bike path already...to "make room" for that event.  Didn't even ask me to move my stuff which wasnt in the way, just started moving my bike with rods in it.  Called his boss, leanred he had other complaints (all anglers) and they let him go. He apparently did not like fishermen, and the fact that we are the majority users of the place.

Other than that, Ive never had an issue with the rangers down there.

Nice trailler!!  I got to get a argon cylinder for my mig welder to weld aluminum before I proceed with My trailler  and others traillers..  but do any of you  think there would be a intrest in buying a few if they were up to par??
