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: Souped Up : Aftermarket Bolt-On Reel Handles from Gomexus

I got mine in the mail today from Amazon. I was planning to put it on my Antares. It's very big. The handles are huge.

Re: Souped Up : Aftermarket Bolt-On Reel Handles from Gomexus

Are there any Geomexus users who can share their experiences? I am particularly interested in the ones with the cork knobs.

How would you say these compare to Hawgtech handles?

Re: Shimano Japan Renews Their Shining Star : The 2022 Aldebaran BFS

I have the previous version Aldebaran and I love it. It is paired with an Expride 6’10 medium. I primarily use it for jerkbaits (perfect for that technique), but also for poppers, lighter underspins, etc. I have to be honest, I don’t love the looks of the new one. The only thing that would entice me...

Xtasy 755 rod rating (Tackle Tour Review)

I had an Xtasy 754C and still have a 755C. I really liked the the 754C, but after reading the Tackle Tour write up, it shows it basically to between a M and MH (closer to a M). I am wondering where the 755C actually comes in. I am hoping Cal will weigh in...

I have had everything in the Loomis lineup from E6x to the Conquest. I still have a mix of NRX, GLX, and Conquest. The softer tips of the Conquests do take a little getting used to. If I was going somewhere and could only take two rods, I would take my Conquest 842s spinning rod and 843c casting rod...
