Yeah, typical MSRP type stuff. That just went into effect 2017. I got you down. The pink ones sold great at the expo. They seem okay. I have never fished with one. I don't think for the price they can be anything bad but they aren't going to blow your mind either. The CFORCE is definitely a really nice reel. They were my choice for the year. I did buy a bolt and a Finesse as well though. Both are nice. I have a buddy that prefers the Finesse over all. My choice in ultra light setup would be a 1000 size reel. I lean on the CForce because of how much lighter it is too. You just have to make sure you don't need anymore line capacity than that. I use the 2000 series for bass fishing on a regular basis. It is my drop shot and Shakey Head reel. The bolt is a little higher speed so that is something to think about as well. It is a 6:1 reel.

It's available to me A lot can change between now and then and it may not be available to me then but it is usually very temporary and nothing that a phone call can't take care of. Worse case, I'll sell you one of mine brand new in box and wait for them to replenish it. I'll be at alum Saturday if you want to give it a whirl. C-Force 2000 $60.00

Lol, good ideas. Anything to help me will be huge! Im making things hard on myself right now. Like I really should have made 1 post instead of 6 when replying here. I just have 4 windows open. Looking back and forth at prices and doing it on my phone. I'll probably wait until the 12th to post my PayPal. Just so I don't have a bunch of people's money coming in to sit on. I want the whole thing to be quick and painless for everyone.

Sounds good, $32.50 Make sure you check out their Krapie kings rods. They were a huge success at the Columbus expo. Guys loved them.

Got you down -$40.00

Post the link or part number if you don't mind

$60 for the rod $60 for the reel

Anyone who wants to check out Ardent products come see me Saturday. I will be at Alum creek doing some scouting on the water and a littke fishing. I am more than happy letting someone try out the reels. My fishing partner is there and he has a couple of the rods you can try. I have most models of reels and will bring them.

Anyone interested in ordering gear post in the thread I just made about it. I don't want to muddy up a good fishing reports/talk thread with that stuff.

For those who didn't read in the other thread I am authorized a 1 time order for friends, family, and CR members at 50% of Ardent products. http://www.Ardentreels.com Ardent is a sponsor of mine and due to my work at the Columbus Fishing Expo this year I was approved to make this happen. My goal is to place an order April 15th. I am giving people some time to make their choices and come up with funds to do so. So far the order is over $4,000. I have a guy I know in Georgia who is responsible for 1k of the order so that kind of thing is why I am setting the date out so far. All of the order has to go on my credit card so I will need money before it is placed as I don't want to be stuck with 1k of product that I don't need. You can either bring me cash or PayPal me (gift or you cover fees). My thought is to collect money around the 12th or so. I don't want a bunch of people sending me money now as I don't want to sit on someone else's money for that long. We have a little flexibility on this so please take advantage of a huge saving that you won't find anywhere else. Ardent has been around for a long time and has many pro's on the trail. I put these reels right next to any other brands out there. Post here what you want and I will confirm the price with you. This will allow me to keep track of what guys want and aid in putting together an order. Let me know if you have any questions.

Once I work through the tournament schedule we will pick a day to hunt musky. Clear fork is having some down years from my understanding. I am hoping to fish there is may but prob for bass. My AT is scheduled for May so I will be in Michigan fishing a lot of the month. 60.00 they are brand new this year but I got 4 of them. I haven't caught a fish on them yet. Yeah, Clay to your earlier post i do stay busy! That is a good problem though.Yes that combo counts and will be 40.00. I don't know anything about that rod but the reel is pretty good. I don't know how you guys want to do this as I have to place the order and put it on my card. Part of me just wants to get the money after the reels come in and they get delivered but I don't want to take 4 or 5k in orders and get stuck with 1k of product I have to try and sell. The order is already at 4k for myself, friends, and family. We can do paypal but it will either have to be gifted to me or buyer pays fees because I don't want to have to pay to hook people up. I have guys from Florida, Georgia, and NC who talked to me at the expo who have already sent me money for their orders.

Just got final word giving me the green light but Ardent Reels who is a sponsor of mine is giving me permission to place an order and give CR members a one time only discount of 50% off on all rods and reels. Ifor anyone is interested in any of the product and wants to try it at a great price let me know know. Ardentreels.com

Joe, did you get into Musky fishing already or is this a first time trip? I just joined the central ohio musky club this year so I am hoping to spend some more time on it. The military is really screwing up my bass tournament schedule this summer so I should have more time to dedicate to it. I did not see anyone from CR at the fishing expo. I was working the Ardent Reels booth behind the hawg trough from open to close all 3 days.

Thank you to everyone for all the quick responses. I don't know what the hell happened but after 3 weeks if just started working again yesterday. I don't know how I fixed it.

I am in Plain City

I tried searching but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I have a small two computer wireless network at work and all of the sudden I am having network/print problems on the second computer. Can anyone recommend someone that will come to me or remote in to help me fix this? Everyone I have. Found so far wants me to sign up for a plan. I would rather pay as needed.

No desire to be an idiot myself. More for a brief amount of filming and fun with my kid. I would like to do some action shots and video on the lake. I thought about just hiring someone since it would be really hard for me to do what I want to do and fly a drone at the same time. Pmed

Thinking about investing into a drone but i am not sure that the learning curve and the price is worth what little filming I want to do. Just curious to here about investment and how hard it is to be proficient.

(Not that I truly believe that it will happen) this is the exact way people were talking about OSU two years ago lol. It is just funny to look back on in a thread just like this.

I have a picture that I would like to get edited and touched up. It will be used on a website so I need it to be great. Ifor there is anyone here with the appropriate skills PM me. I would rather put it out here before I hire someone in here rather than a random person online. Like I said, PM me if interested and I will share the file and you can tell me how much you want.

What kind of diesel are you looking for?

As much as I hate to recommend them based on the price, nothing compares to the rigid industry lights. Look at comparison vids. I wouldn't recommend them for everyone but for a off road guy that will actually use to them, they are worth it. The bulbs aren't any different but the reflectors are patented and none other are like them. If you aren't interested based on price and want something cheaper, get the totrons.

I have a twin stroller. Let me check with the wife in the am. She is having trouble getting rid of kid things as we are done and she is struggling with that.

Joe we won't have any problems with shallow on this. Just let me know. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMAG0547_zpskgt5ohhh.jpg

Yeah now that they are pulling deeper I try not to catch them. Any of the die hard/educated musky guys will stop fishing alum shortly. It is horrible to pull them from deep water. It is just really hard on them when the water gets over 70. At clear fork they handle it a lot better due to it being shallow every where.
