t8erbug Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I bought my first 250 last Summer just to get a feel for the bait after falling in love with the 175 SS. I ended up scoring a BB Trout on TW and an Emerald Trout from a member here also. I couldn't NOT have a couple of these in trout. Anyways, I've probably put about 6hrs total behind the 250. I try to only throw it in the right places at opportune moments as they present themselves which is why I've only got a few hours throwing it. Well, it paid off. No giant but I'll take a 4# slump buster. That's all I needed to validate my swimbait expenditures haha!

Very budget-friendly setup, but for as little as I throw magnum swimbaits it definitely is the perfect fit for me. I'm super impressed with the rod at the $169.99 price point. The rod is rated for 3-10oz, so that price is even more impressive. rossco7777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
