dale hollow this weekend

I jumped the gun and bought the BPShops FNF rod for $30. It's a fine rod for a guy who will FNF fish 3-4 times all winter if I'm lucky. However, after using the 8'6" rod at Dale for 2 days I wish I had purchased the 9'6" instead. It was a little bit challenging using an 11 foot leader to get the fish in the net. Using a 12-14' leader would have been really tough. I would have probably been stading on top of the motor to bring a big girl to the net.

For anyone wanting to buy their first FNF rod, I would 100% recommend the BPShops rod for $30. They come in 8'6", 9' and 9'6". Buy the 9'6"! I wish I had. I can certainly see where a 10 footer would be even better.

Billy, where's Mr. T? Why the change from A-TEAM/Rocky 3 to Happy Days?

DC... This is the rod I have but mine is the 8'6". I had 5 pull downs the first time I used it and landed every fish. The rod performed well IMO. I did just order the balancing kit to screw on to the end of the rod. I thought it was a little heavy at the tip. The balancing kit will help distribute some of the weight to the butt of the rod.

Bring him back Clubber Lang style. He looks meaner that way. Less gold and more attitude, FOOL!!!

smljaw,
I thought about the balancing kit as well but figured I would give it one full day of hard work at Laurel this week before I do. It takes a little while to get used to that 9'6 length but man it has to be fun once you hook into one of those brownfish.
