Swampland Rods
 

Who here has used Swampland Rods? Im talkin to the guy right now and I think Im going to end up getting one next week.

joey, i use one, love it... light tip.... bought one fron yak 'em and stack 'em and broke it 2 days later

Had one and sold it to Jordan. Very nice rod. Well built. I'm just not a fan of the spiral guides.

Im not a fan of the Spiral guides or Micros either, he said he will be able to get one to me with regular non spiral by tuesday

Myself and a buddy each bought ourselves one about 2 years ago at the outdoor expo here in Lafayette. They r some Great rods ! I broke one of the eyes of mine while trying to get it out the rod box one day ! My buddy fixed the eye and never returned cause he likes it so much ! Lol both rods r still in great shape and still going strong ! There prices aren't that bad ether !

He uses the higher end castaway parts

still fish with it to this day josh, love the rod.... very nicely made !!!

I really like them, had one before i got the one i sold to jordan

very well built

Well, my rod will be at my place no later than Wednesday. Cant wait to try this puppy out on some Sabine trout.

I have two; love em.

Well, now Im ordering two lol!

I ordered my newer one with an ASC reel seat, as I palm my reel a lot.

Mine have the exposed blank on bottom. Ill be getting one in tomorrow and my wade rod in on Friday I think.

Which asc reel seat are u talking about, the seat that has 2 areas to hold onto with your fingers?

yep thats the one... sooo comfy

So what size rod do you use in your yak, ive talked to Lance, but im still perplexed with the color on the rod wraps, reel Diawa Sol and a Curado E5, i want a Tops and Tails rod

I use mostly 7' mediums with a fast tip, 9'' handle... last one I got “k” series micro guides. I wouldn’t get micro guides if you use >15lb flouro leaders tied to your braid.

Got mine in today, this thing is freakin amazin!

Is that the one with the fancy reel seat?? Got a pick of the bottom?? What line you spooled with??

10lb PowerPro, its not the Split Seat its a regular grip with the blank exposed on the backside.

You try he samarai braid yet?? Much smoother and limber.......IMO, much better line.....check it out

That samurai braid is nice,but super expensive 50 bucks for 300 yards!! I just spooled a reel with sufix braid,its smoother than pp and alot cheaper then the samurai.

I tried samurai for a bit, broke a lot on me compaired to similar sized suffix braid. I would put 10lb suffix strength wise vs. samurai 15lb any day.

Ive thought about Samurai Braid and if I get the extra money I may try it out. Ive tried all the others and ended up going back to PowerPro

I'd have to see that test.......I have a hard time cutting it with clippers, much less breaking off!!!!

Bmt......you wont regret it......best line I've ever used. Only problem I have is tying it. Its so small.......I use the 20lb so it doesn't dig in to bad......oh, and.you gotta spool it on here REALLY tight......

braid
 

Do not use clippers on any braid. use scissors or blade.

What you know about clippers? They weren't even invented back when you fished.......hehehehe.....I'm kidding......ill try the scissors.....

Got my wade rod in, amazing again is all I can say. I went out this evening and fished for a bit and caught some trout up to 23" and a few keeper reds. They worked perfect and are light as all get out!

Neither was power pro .But us old dogs can still learn a new trick or two :*****:
