Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I have a crucial and its a good rod but it breaks ALOT!  I'm on my 5th one in 3 yrs and I'd never buy another one but with the warranty they keep giving me new ones.  I'll stick with Powell from now on.

You need to quit stepping on it and closing it in your rod locker door.

Seee! I'm not the only one ! 8 in 4 years Mark !  Had to go to the G2 Loomis and Avids. I did love the rod, it was a fish catching maniac !
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

I'm partial to theSt Croix Rage rods. Have 3 now. Also have 2 Veritas, a Mojo, and some others. The Mojo is ok, but the reel seat won't stay tight. Gets annoying. Broke 2 Carrot Stix. You couldn't give me another one of those, plus their warranty sucks.
