GlX 843C MBR vs Kistler Zbone light medium heavy 7'

Hi

I am looking for a versatile rod and narrowed down my choice between these two rods. I would like to have comments on sensitivity and power of people who have had the chance to use both. I am leaning towards the GLX because of the fulll handle.

Thank you

Re: Spybaiting - who's been successful with it?

I have been successful on smallies, trout and even Northen pikes!

Ironically I never caught a largemouth yet on it.

Re: Medium light Helium 3 casting

Hi, I bought the Helium 3 medium light casting rod this winter to pair with a Shimano Aldebaran. Nice combo but cannot use it right now since still ice on the water up here in Canada. You will not have trouble throwing shakey hads with this rod. Not sure it is suited for spybaits though. I throw a l...

Re: Best value jerkbait rod

Zodias will definitively do the work. I love these rods even though they are not the most high end. All fun to fish.

In the cheap department, Powell Diesel is tough to beat. And lots of deals these days on these rods.

Daiwa Esmeraldas vs. Stradic FK

Hi everyone, I am leaning towards one of these two reels: Daiwa Esmeraldas 2508PE or the Shimano Stradic2500 HGFK. I can have both of them for around the same price on auction sites. It will go on a Shimano Expride 7' Medium Fast. It will be used primarely for moving baits as well as for tubes and s...

Re: Best spinning reel under $100

Pflueger Supreme or Arbor. Any love for the Daiwa Fuego? I have not try it but it does look like a great package for 100$.

Re: Binding/stiff retrieve symetre 3000fj

I had the same problem with a Symetre and it was a bend in the main shaft after a weekend of heavy fishing pulling out pikes and lots of bass!

Help required new spinning reel

Hi, Hello everyone, I am looking to buy a spinning reel to go on my Megabass Levante Stinger Shot rod (finesse). I will mostly throw light hair jigs (1/16 to 3/8) and plastics. I should be using either braid (8 to 10 lbs) or light fluoro (4lbs to 6 lbs). The Levante are tip heavy so I do not care fo...
