Jason15 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I found a good deal on a fox stratos 10000E it is a baitrunner and was wondering if it was any good. Right now I use a Rapala shift on a 10' mh shimano clarus but am getting tired of having to swap reel from rod to rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo1685 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would the good deal be only $120 for the reel? I can't comment on how good the reel is, but I bet it would be a decent reel. I use a Daiwa Black Widow (lowest on the daiwa reel totem pole) and have no complaints. If its a really good deal, i say the convenience of not having to change the reel onto different rods would be good enough to pull through with the order.

tombo Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is a big reel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason15 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think I may have found my go to place for carp supplies after the order of the reel. So far it casts smooth and was easy to set up I am yet to catch a fish on it yet though I did manage a decent size pike on my sons 5' ugly stick in the mean time. Prices and selection is good and I have put together another order with the basics. Just not sure what to use for the feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually do a pickup once every 2 weeks. Have absolutely no complaints. When you say you don't know what to use for the feeders, do you mean what to pack around them?

Jason15 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Ya right now i have the stuff from peters but it doesn't seem to break up I've been looking at the mainline geound bait or the envy stuff. I wouldn't mind driving up but after work time is limited as is weekends between work and a 7yrs and 5 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo1685 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Mainline pineapple is part of my spod mix that caught that 33 pounder. Smells so damn good. I have the envy stuff as well, but havent used it yet. Planning on using it next weekend on the canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 That looks like a great reel for carp , and getting 2 spools is a bonus ! It looks like it can handle those brutes very well . I like to set the back drag very lightly , especially when I am using a bolt /hair rig . They basically hook themselves and the line just peels off before you get to the rod ....a real blast ! JMO .....yes the pineapple smells up the whole house real nice . I have it in my maize ......makes me hungry smelling the stuff . Going to give it a try in the morning .....getting shack wacky , haven't been fishing for a couple of weeks ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason15 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I know for the mainline he only has spicy left I may just get the halibut hemp stuff. I ordered 2 korda method feeders and 2 inline feeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
