Browning Citori

I received a Browning Citori from one of my fishing buddies for Christmas. As most of you guys know I fish mostly spinning tackle except for flipping and working jigs. I do have one I occasionally throw a buzzbait on, but mostly I fish my cast and retrieve stuff on spinning tackle. I was kinda wondering what rod to pair this reel up with. In fact I went over to Sportsmen's Hide-A-Way yesterday to look at rods. I got in a long conversation with Dave, and wound up leaving at closing time without ever getting a chance to look at any rods.

Just a few minutes ago sitting here in my office Fed Ex arrived with the replacement for my Lamiglas 3 power I sent off to be repaired back in November. I think it will be a decent rod to try for crank baits. I originally tried it for spinner baits, and it was ok, but for the smaller ones I couldn't feel the blades very well.

I bounced the tip of the rod on the floor a couple times, and I think it just might be the ticket.

As a side note: Lamiglas was the slowest to respond when I sent off rods, but they did take the effort to call me and let me know that my rod was delayed because they didn't have one of that size and weight on hand.

I'm all excited. Even with this front moving in I still want to get out on the water and try this thing.

We don't want to hear about any stenkin' fronts Bob... at least you don't have to winterize. After getting mine ready for the next couple months cold weather, I looked at www.weather.com and noticed it was going to be darn near 70 this week!

If I could have only waited one more week.

Oh yeah, about the rod. It should be fine as a crankbait rod. I can't remember what you said the length of it was, but 6' ~ 6'6" is decent.

Maybe that is why you have so many problems with rods? I try very hard not to bounce my rod tips on anything.

LOL. I actually gently flexed the rod against the floor much in the same way you might if trying to determine the spine of the rod, but in this case it was to try and re-estimate the speed and power of the rod. Bob

And I thought you got yourself a new over and under shotgun. :-) I did not know there was a Browning Citori fishing reel. In fact, I was trying to figure out if you were making some sort of joke about fishing with a shotgun until I looked up this reel and saw it on Bass Pro's website.

Have fun with it!!! Our lakes froze over this week due to the subzero overnight temperatures. It might be 60 by the weekend so maybe things will open back up.

I read that line and my first thought was: "WOW, what a buddy! I never get a shotgun for christmas from my friends!" Then I read on and discoverd that there is also a Browning Citori fishing reel, and I was much less impressed, LOL.
