I like the SRD for those types of baits. BBZ-1 also...

Nice collection of random MB rods! You got all the bases covered. I really like the white stingray skin ( I think that’s what it is) looking grip on your custom. It is stingray skin. About drove my rod guy to madness over that one. :lol: It is not visible, but it is tied together with deer skin lac...

The thread wraps are indeed purple. The metal winding check above the foregrip is...well...depends on the lighting. Hard to describe as it changes color. Quite attractive tho.

The reel arrived to complete my first Levante combo - an EMTF with an SS SV 103. Build and design on the Levante is legit Megabass. The balance point is just above where the foregrip wrap ends. With a slightly heavier reel I imagine it would shift back a tad. Still nice balance for a 7'5" stick...

I am going to tell you straight up that these are NOT worth buying. No OSP plastics are. Ever. Hear me?!??

The Bass Mafia terminal coffins suck. Like terrible suck. I do use their 3700 bait coffin for terminal tackle and it works very well.

Matching rod and reel colors is one thing, but matching your bedsheets to your tackle is going a bit far imho. It launches a two nail "Chikubi" rigged 3.8 FAT, which weighs 10g on an Owner Twistlock Light 3/0, a looong way without a hint of backlash. That's my go to bait, so I cannot wait...
