Thanks for all the input guys!

Take a look at the powell diesel rods as they are hard to beat for the money for cranking. I have the mojo bass crankbait rod that I use for square bills and it works great. It sounds like you’re losing fish because you have to fast of a taper rod and are looking for something with a moderate action with a good backbone to keep those fish pinned.

got a new transducer and the unit works great!!

I was thinking it was the transducer…but it also shows alot of clutter too and isnt very clear on the flasher.

I love my revo sx and stx but the new revos look even better!im gonna pick up one one of those new revo sx

I can get the revo s for $90 at walmart. Is it a good reel?

I’ll be using it for casting and finesse fishing…..a multipurpose reel.
