Conquest, I have two just to be on the safe side

Great info, thanks!

Seems like I'll have to save up and buy both

I've had Megabass decision problems for a while now :D First I looked for a tech specific crankbait rod but have veered away from those and started reading about the Rattleviper TG. I prefer rods between 6-7 feet since I fish small rivers and streams, mostly precision casting. The Rattleviper seems ...

Probably to cut costs
