Coyote Bait and Tackle is having there sidewalk sale Friday & Saturday.
Shimano, and other factoy reps on hand.
They ordered 5 of the Okuma Celieo 7.10" Swimbait rods rated 1-8 oz
Great for tossing big baits.
$45. Get them while they last

Go over check it out.

If you dont own a rod for throwing the big trouts and want a quality rod for the big stuff, get this rod. I have 2 of these and I know a few other guys use them in BNT as well. Get it while there cheap, this is a great deal

I agree with John the Celeio is a great rod for throwing big baits, if i could make it down there I would pick another one up.

FIT

I don't have a problem picking one or more up for those who would like one.

We could get together @ the BNT Clear Lake Open to tade off.

Let me know

Hey Joey,

If you can snag one of those for me I would sure appreciate it. I can get bucks to you before Clear Lake if you need me to. Like at Whites on Sunday as long as I know how much...

Buzzfish

I got you Clint.
Something like $45.00

See you soon Buzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! It is hard for me to get that side of the hill even on the weekends.

Buzzfish

Hey Joe if you can hook me up that would be great, if you are able to I will send you a check so you will not have to wait until Clear.

FIT

Castro pick one up for FIT and I'll pay ya at whites

Anyone know if the Shimano guys are going to be fixing reels 4 free (1/customer) at this one like they did last year?
Tight lines,
Wade

Yes they are.. I spoke to Denise
Bring your reel with you.

Joey, pick up one of these rods for me if you can. I can pay you Sunday at White's out of my winnings :-) . If not, no big deal.

Doug

You got it Doug.

Does second place pay out that much? :P

Thanks for the info. Anybody have the model #? I'm way too far away to have anyone pick one up, but I'd like to look around online. I'm tired of waiting for the 'NEW' Okuma swimbait rods. Especially if this is a good stick and will do the trick. I like the fact it's longer then 7'6".

Do you mean the rod that was supposed to be out late last year, then early this year, then last month, then this month, blah, blah, blah. I too am tired of waiting for this mythical rod.

The rods are waiting on the Fuji guides. Its not going to be much longer man. I should have an exact date early next week.

I don't know about there upcomming new swimbait rod???

I do know that :o
this rod is IT for me
and for the $$s
can't beat it.

Hold on :o

Are you guys talking about the CE-7101? If so I asked someone on one of the Cal-Fishing boards and they said it was NOT heavy enough for the BIG baits. They told me to use GS-C-761XH for anything over 9". I'm confused. I told someone (I'll go back and lookup my post if this is it) a site where the CE-7101 is only about $40.

yes they are talking about the 7101's. I have 2 and they are great for throwing the big stuff. The new swimbait rod coming out will work for the big stuff and be perfect for Big Hammer type swimbaits. If you make it to the Open next month I will be glad to let you borrow one for the weekend to try out.

Woodsac,
IMHO it's fine for anything up to about 6oz. Somewhere in there it starts to feel under powered. It works great for my 4-Eyes, would work fine for Slammers, etc. For a while they were available at Reeds in San Jose for $40 with tax, but not anymore from what I've seen.
Tight lines,
Wade

Thanks Wade. I looked up the old post I mentioned and they are no longer available through the company I posted the link to. I'll find one somewhere }(

It's supposed to be a sweet new swimbait rod in the $100 to $150 range.
Tight lines,
Wade
