Re: Swim Jig rods (Suggestions)

7'2 MH Expride. In my experience, its a great swim jig rod. I have both the orochi xx Diablo Spec R (gen 1) and the expride. they are similar rods, with the expride being slightly stiffer in the tip, but similar powers. The expride is super versatile, just like the DSR. Similar sensativity, but i wo...

2020 Shimano Zodias vs 2020 Megabass Levante

Anyone out there used both? I know they are both fairly new to the market bust wasn’t sure if anyone had a good comparison between the two? If not a comparison, does anyone have any individual reviews on the new models. Thanks!

Re: Daiwa Rebellion Rods 2020

Im interested in them as well.. I am thinking of doing the same. One that really has my eye is the 610MHRB. Seems like it would be a perfect spinnerbait rod around cover. I have no experience with them yet, but would love to hear some reviews once people get their hands on them.

I just ordered a Flyssa as well... Can not wait to get my hands on it! At this point in time I plan to pair it with a Daiwa Luvias 300H. \:D/

I think the Loomis 843 is the standard. The new glx reel seat bothers my big hands, but I think I'm in the minority.
You are not the minority.. I was not a fan of the new reel seat as i found it uncomfortable as well, and sold mine off.

Re: Megabass Destroyer Addermine vs G Loomis NRX 852S JWR

I own both. If you can only take one i would suggest going with the addermine. it is more versatile and better for true finesse tactics like neds, open hook dropshots, shad raps/jerkbaits and finesse swimbaits. the 852s is better for bottom contact and weightless presentations, such as shakey heads,...

Re: Conquest 842s

Not to hijack the thread.. but those who have used both the CNQ842s and the NRX 852s, how do the actions and versatility compare? Currently I do just about everything with my 852s, from light trig/shakey head to dropshots..
