10' 11' & 12'
I like 12'.
10'
I was for sure gonna order 10's and 11's in 2 different weights but wasn't sure how many 12's to order.
Fixed seat 12' Cork handle?
Will have a couple 12's in 2 different weights,several 9'-11' in 2 weights.All fixed reel seats and cork handles.
What will asking for them and if you run out will you be able to get more? Or can you place an order at the show if you don't have what someone wants?
Yes I can get more and I will take orders at the show.I will have a catalog to show the other rods that they offer,but I think I have a pretty good selection ordered.I ordered 12 different rods,12' was the longest one that I will have there.I didn't order any of the trolling rods,they are 12'-16'.
That's what I like as well.Quote:

Camo, hope you make it to Arthur. Farmboy and i are going and maybe a couple of other coworkers. i have been looking at the Ozarks for some time now. I have never used a rod over 7' and have been thinking about trying. Hope to see you there!
I will be there rods are on the way.I will be in the ILLINOIS HOTSPOTS booth #35,I'm bringing rods from 6' to 12' in different actions.9'-11' are my favorites,hope to see you there!
ehall, once you fell the thump on a long rod, you'll be hooked, LOL. I don't use anything under 10', not even for casting. It'll take you a little while to get the hang of casting a long rod but you'll get use to it.
Thats it, I'm speed dialing my bank loan officer! LOL. I love this site! I have been drooling over these Ozark rods for a while now, and if all goes well, look to pull the trigger soon. What reel do you use on yours? Casting is about all i am doing in Illinois, that and what organizing i can, 12 inches or more of ice!Quote:

ehall,these rods are priced right and the company has really nice people and easy to work with.They treat you right,but hey the guy that owns it is a crappie fisherman.The most expensive rod they have is like 75.00
I love corking with my 10' b&m . If I ever use a slip bobber though (which is rarely) I use my 7' crappie Max rod.
I am looking forward to seeing them. I've read a lot of reviews on CDC about the Ozarks. They seem bullet proof. I enjoy casting and flipping and collecting equipment and tackle, benefits of an uncle who was obsessed. Oh yeah, and fishing! Lol. Camp I will be there Saturday!
I use the pfleuger's also. I wouldn't use anything with less than 3 ball bearing, the pfleuger reals has 4.
Which models? I have 5 Shimano's on the way, but have rods all ready waiting on them.
I originally read through several long pole advertisers in theQuote:

I really prefer them and about all anyone makes anymore is ceramic insert rods. I am having a new tip put on a Dobyns baitcasting rod that is less than a year old, because the ceramic somehow cracked. Started fraying my flouro line, could have cost me a fish. Anyway i am sold, cant wait for Saturday, I have a spot ready out in my shop for any new aquisitions! Thanks for all the info.
