Parker took a week off to paint his new paint. Wow, that wasn't fun.

I do get to sneak out and hopefully bang a couple of winter brats tomorrow!

As for the Allstars, I personally would not by one again. The Elite's were "OK" rods, but nothing to sneeze at. The Titaniums are also "OK" rods, but don't even compare to an IMX.

Joe was suppose to give me a couple of Titanium rods, but hasn't come throught yet on his end of the deal. Go figure.

If you're gonna spend the money, I'd have TH make you up a nice custom Rainshadow.

If you don't want to go custom, I'd look in to Lamiglass and Loomis.

Oz has spoken!

Missed ya man. Started to wonder if the little one was early.

Unlce Joe gave me the "demo" Allstar Titanium 1025c yesterday and I put it to the to test on a bunch of bright Queets tidewater coho and kings.

It's a nice rod. Much nicer than the Elites.

BUT....

I have no idea if and when they are shipping and how much they would cost.

The Titaniums have the high end SciTic guides, exposed reel seats, and is very well made. The blank isn't as light as an IMX 1025, but probably closer to the GL3 1025.

But, if the price is lower over the Loomis, the Allstar Titanium has much better/nicer components and is a well made rod.

If and when they ever come out in to the market, give them a look over a GL3 Loomis.

"The Boy" is due on the 30th of December. "The Boy" *BETTER* not be showing up now! Ugh. If anything, "The Boy" needs to wait until after the Snoopy Rod Classic!

First of all if you are breaking a rod while casting it you have not put it together properly or you should not be fishing and riding the short bus!!!
All you homers crack me up, If most of you new just a little bit about rod construction and materials you would be dangerous!!

My, that makes people want to listen to what you have to say.

He sales mediocre products then insults potential customers, quite a salesman he is! :rolleyes:

Yea, but I think he was beating on me because I wasn't fishing my spinner right.

JK

Superfly, It seems kind of odd how after 30+ years of fishing, I buy an AllStar and all of a sudden I can't seem to figure out how to put a rod together.

I guess its just a miracle that all my Lamiglas rods have survived my incompetance. :rolleyes:

I own a bunch of Allstar Elites, I havent had one fail due to normal use. Of the 4 that have broke, the dog ate one, opne found the prop of my Minn Kota Rip Tide (dont ask) one got killed by a downrigger ball on a rough bar crossing and the the other was touched by a complete moron who hung up a Kwikfish and was rearing back hard on the rod with 65 lb Tuff Line and a 40lb leader.

I catch plenty of fish with my Allstars. Allstar carries a rod for about every style of fishing I do. In fact I have 4 each of 2 different models. The 1143 S's for side drifting and the 962C's for Kwikies, trolling and divers for Salmon. If I had purchased another brand of rod I would have only been able to afford 1/2 of what Ive got now.

Remeber this, Rods dont catch the fish, The guy holding the rod does the catching.

Hey Ak KIngs, I guess you will quit busting my balls when I bust you in the mouth Huh !!
No matter what is said on here you always have to talk smack about me, must be that you are jealous !! well I know see you have a picture of yourself on your moniker, so I know what you look like since I have never met you before. Do you always talk **** about people you don't know? can't wait to meet you!!
Peace
Superfly

Yeah, whatever

Ak, I know you probably cant help that you are a *****!!!!!!
Peace
Superfly

Perhaps the psychopath convention could be held via a different format, like email? :rolleyes:

Sooo, anybody read any good books?

superfly always brings such a great atmosphere when he drops by, and leaves a much better one when he leaves.

What a class act that Superfly is.

He's usually at his finest during the week of Apple cup. You should hear some of the stupid **** he spouts then.

Ya gotta admit though... he does leave an impression... just like the big fat guy who farts in the elevator when you're headed to the top floor!

Joe's a good guy. He just comes off a little rough online.

You are 100% right Aunty, my 962's where late coming in, guess who had 3 rods waiting for me, Superfly. I needed some extra kwiki's,
Superfly had a box of 10 waiting for me. Bobbers, line, turnaround ride. You name it whats his is mine to use, if I need it. If everyone had a friend like him you wouldn't have to worry about much.
