Upgraded my rods - Monkey Style

bassboogieman · 02-24-10, 11:44 AM

I've been using Kistler rods for 6 years, and with the changes going on there, I figured I might as well get a few of the LTX rods while they are still available, and at reasonable prices.
Bought 4 spinning rods, with the recoil guides a couple weeks ago. Liked the feel of them, and started thinking about replacing my casting rods. Decided I might as well do it, so I ordered an additional 7 casting rods - they arrived yesterday. Will start the season with all new sticks and I can't wait to fish with them. The LTA's were great rods, these - should be downright AWESOME.
I think the Monkey will leave me alone for a while - at least until BPS's SPRING SALE next month!

Congrats on the new rods!

Can we expect to see any more of the LTAs for sale soon?

11 new rods in one season. You are feeding a bait gorilla my friend.

What???!!! No Pics?? That's just wrong. This post won't be complete without some photos.

Share the joy.

Contrats. Most people just get a slap on the wrist by the bait monkey. YOu were fortunate to get the body slam and a 3-count pin.

I think the body slam was preceded by The Frankensteiner

So I see yet another has fallen for the lure of recoil guides. How are you liking them, Boogie? I love mine.

BB144 -only 3 of the LTA's remain unsold and they are listed in the "for sale" forum, here and else where.

NFE - I haven't yet been able to fish with them, but from what I hear they are supponsed to be the best to enhance the sensitivity of a rod. All our water is still hard, as I'm sure yours is, and we had a he** of a lot of snow the last two weeks with another 12" commming tomorrow. Can't wait for "ice out", and this horrid winter to be over.
