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

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

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.

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

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!
