MB P5 Criffhanger Thrilling

Can't seem to find any information on this rod. I have the X7 version of the Criffhanger and was looking to see what the difference may be between the X7 and P5 versions of the rod. If anyone has any experience with it, what apps do you use it for. Appreciate any info

NRX 854 or Steez Bottom Contact

Looking for a jig specific rod for 3/8 to 5/8 oz football jigs and have it down to these two. Had the original Bottom Contact and found it a little "mushy" but the new Steez versions seem to be crisper. If anyone has any direct experience with these 2, recommendations would be very much appreciated....

Re: Shimano Poison Ultima Baitcasting 1610L-BFS

I've been looking at this rod as well. Does anyone know how this compares to Steez RD 631ML FB or the NRX 802C that I'm currently using for 1/8 - 3/16 jigs/tubes

St Croix Legend Extreme vs Steez ML Spinning

I think I've narrowed my choices down to the new St Croix Legend Extreme and Daiwa Steez ML (fast, not extra fast) spinning rods for throwing 1/8 oz shakey heads with plastics. Can't get my hands on them so if anyone has experience with these rods your input would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: JDM crappie rod suggestions

Gearhead - went through the exact same thing you did buying the Kage UL from TT to get into UL and had a great time with it last year with small spoons and curly tail jigs on crappies, white perch, small bass and like you I started wanting a little more. I looked into the Finesse Fishing site and af...

Major Craft Finetail SUL

Was hoping someone could help. I'm looking for a SUL rod for trout/panfish and see that the 6'3" version of the MC Finetail seems well regarded here. They also have a 6' version with similar specs. If anyone knows the differences between the 2 versions any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: NRX 893 v ZBone

Thanks much Drakestar and Revofisher; exactly the information I was looking for - much appreciated. Looking hard at the 7'3" LMH for "do many things" rod. Any thoughts on custom vs "off the shelf"?

NRX 893 v ZBone

So like many others I had a reel seat failure on my NRX 893 and may look to replace it. Checking to see if there's anyone who's had experience with both the 893 and the 7'3" 3 LMH Zbone. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Corto or Finezza Help

Hi - I am thinking about getting into UL and based on what I've learned here I thought the Corto 18 or Finezza 17 rods might be a good start. Having a hard time finding them online though so if anyone could let me where I could find one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Z Bone vs NRX

I'm looking to add a med-light casting rod this winter for throwing 1/8-3/16 oz jigs; maybe 4" senkos. Picked up a couple of z-bones last year and was pretty pleased so was thinking about a custom z-bone or the NRX 802c. I picked up a 802 when they first came out and wasn't too impressed with the qu...

Edge Rods

Does anyone know what's going on with Edge rods? I bought a couple when they were first introduced and while they don't have the bling of other rods I have, its a great blank and I like the graphite handles. On Black Friday I put an order in knowing it would take a while and while they were good eno...

Edge Rods

Edge Rods is having a pretty decent sale going on now and I was thinking about picking up a couple. I have a couple of their older rods (MH casting spiral wrapped and drop shot rods) and I think they're great but I see very little about them on the forum. Is there anything going on with the company ...
