Re: SLX XT
I bought 8 of them. For what you get for the price it can’t be beat. To me I like the 150 size better than the 200 and they honestly perform every bit as well as a Curado to me. I fish a lot of tournaments and am not the nicest to my gear and these things can take a beat. Will be getting more.
SLX XT
Looking for opinions on the Shimano SLX XT. Quality, durability, performance for a budget reel? How would it up for punching heavy mats? How’s the drag? Let me know your thoughts.

Re: Looking for a Frogging Rod
Been using the 884 IMX Pro. Really like it, very solid frog rod. I definitely recommend it.

Re: GLX 894 vs 895
It could. I power shot a lot with an 893 - 16 lb fluoro and 1/4 oz.

Re: GLX 894 vs 895
894 handles up to 3/4 oz very well, 895 does not handle 1/4 at all. 895 is a very stout stick and rather tip heavy. 894 is the more versatile of the two by far.

Re: Tranx 200 punching
I like the longer handle, bigger grips, beefier gears, and it could double as a swimbait reel better than the Curado K while having the same frame / profile.

Bantam MGL handle
Anyone know if the Bantam MGL can take a Curado K handle? Like everything about the Bantam except the smaller handle.

Re: What's next for Shimano???
Was just wishing how I kept my Core 100 MG7’s. That would be amazing if the brought out a Core MGL.

Re: GLX 953 punch rod
I think it would be perfect for those applications if you keep it 3/4 and up. I know a guy who uses it for ripping traps on Clear Lake.

Re: Dedicated swimjig rod.
Conquest 903 is my dedicated swim jig rod and I throw a 3/8 swim jig everytime I’m on the water.

Re: G Loomis nrx
3/8 jig is right at home with 893 and 903.
