Megabass P5 Tequila Baccarrac
I just got this rod and it is very intriguing. I have a P5 BMG and NRX+ 904C. I was trying to decide which one to keep and then I got the Tequila Baccarrac. I know it is labeled a XH, but it casts a 3/4 jig further than either of those rods and seems to be close in sensitivity. I have a small 15 ft ...

23 Shimano 100 “ long cast”
I have quite a few 2020 Metaniums and I like them very much. Shimano is billing the new 100 version as a “long cast”. Would this reel cast further than the 2020 model with 30 lb braid?

Re: 22 Stella Question - My experience disappointing so far
I would return it and get a Vanquish.

Re: 2023 Vanquish
Great analysis Dan. I like the Vanquish so much, I will likely pick up another one. The one I have now is on a NRX+ 852 and the combo is so light and well balanced a joy to fish. My next purchase is a longer ML rod. I don’t drop shot or fish the Ned much, but I seem to have a 1-8-1/4 ounce little un...

Re: 2023 Vanquish
I am loving my Vanquish 2500SGH. The Exscence was an incredible reel, but I like this better. I also don’t miss the T shaped handle.

Re: Daiwa Steez AGS 7'3" Medium Heavy Utility Player
I know the beauty of this rod is the versatility. Would it work well with a Shower Blows 105 and Vixen?

Megabass P5 Daemos applications
Would this rod be good for top water (Shower Blows 105, Vixens, etc)? I know you don’t need a rod this expensive for just top water, but I would serve as my “do it all” MH rod. I am currently using a 843c. Thoughts?

Re: 2021 steez ags rods
Would the Moving Bait Versatile make a good top water rod (Shower Blows 105 is tied on most of the time)? When top water isn’t on, it would be used for a little bit of everything else.

Re: Shimano's High End, Light Weight Champion, Vanquish '23
I got a Vanquish 2500SHG from Digitaka and it is an exceptional reel. It doesn’t have the double handle or T handle knobs. It is replacing an Exscence which was an incredible reel. Smooth, lightweight, and a joy to fish.

Re: 2023 Vanquish
Should I get the 2500s or the faster HG version?

2023 Vanquish
I have a an Exscence currently, but I’m intrigued by the new Vanquish. How does a Vanquish compare to other Shimano offerings (Stella, Exscence, etc)?

Re: New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s
I have decided not to keep the Steez. I will be posting it for sale soon. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

Re: New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s
The Steez is too wide and uncomfortable in my opinion. I may keep it a while, but I am likely headed back to Shimano…

New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s
All my reels are Shimano’s (Metaniums, Bantam, Antares), but I just decided to branch out and try a Daiwa Steez A II (JDM version). It replaced a Bantam on my Megabass BMG.I took it out tonight for a some testing. It doesn’t seem like it casts quite as far as my Shimano’s and isn’t a comfortable to ...

Re: Looking for help on NRX + 873
I love the 873CRR. I picked up an Antares at a deal and to me, that’s the perfect jig and worm set up.
