A little off topic but does anyone know of any type of box that is roughly 8.5" x 7.5"? Even an 8" x 7" box would be perfect. I have a new surf fishing "bag" that meets those dimensions. I want to put all my lucky crafts in one box and am growing tired of using multiple boxes or finding one box that is way too big.

And sasquatch, I use the Flambeau Boxes with no problems at all. They seem more durable than Plano boxes (in my opinion).

I have used it sparingly with an LC. I don't throw them much. It is somewhat whippy, but I like that. Its primary use for me has been as a spotfin croaker rod. Again, not much use this year. It will also wing a kastmaster at mackerel.

Thanks for the feedback. I once bought an 8'6" clarus that was really whippy (for my use at least, great for salmon/steelhead I'm sure). Ever since I've been hesitant when looking at long rods like that.

Was wondering if there was a way to keep the stock treble hooks from rusting? I do rinse off after every session with fresh water. It seems there is a welded ring keeping the treble on. Is it hard to cut off this ring? Is it hardened steel? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've never tried to cut it off but I'm sure a tough pair of dikes would do the trick. After that you can add an Owner split ring (or split ring of your choice) which would allow you to change hooks a little bit easier.

I have a norwest special. I dig it.

I feel like it might be a tad whippy for what I plan on doing with it (throwing the LC). Have you used it for halibut or just perch?

]This will be a quick report since I am on my way to work right now. I was able to hit the surf with my buddy Bob who I haven't fished with in forever. Today, like most days was all about throwing the lucky craft. Not much love today except for a donkey perch that I caught and forgot to measure. He ate the lucky craft flash minnow in less than 2 feet of water.

On a side note I have been looking at picking up a new surf rod and Bob let me cast with his Lamiglas G 1311.

That rod is awesome and I am 90 % sure that I will be ordering one. Unless I splurge buy a Norwest Special at work today lol
