I've read the mgx reviews and by no means am I going to use it for peacock bass size caliber fishing, but rather for the regular LMB, in which I think it would hold up to par fairly well.

Please Tackletour review the mgxtreme it would I hope answer a bundle of questions for some of us that are interested I suppose

So no one has actually handled the or better yet used the mgxtreme? I know there gotta be someone out there

Has anyone had any hands on experience with both of these reels? I'm not just talking about holding it in the stores, but actually fishing them side by side exclusively. I would like to know the performance aspects of both, the pros and cons. Thanks in advance

Which reel would pair up nicely with this rod? Been thinking about the Abu Revo Mgxtreme and the Daiwa Steez EX. Any other reels?

Winter got me feeling a little "trouty"

the daiwa lexa would do just fine as a crainkbait reel in that price range. Look up bronzefly's review of it

Just beautiful.

Thanks for the info guys

What do you guys use to flush your bearings?

for me topwater is most productive first sign of sunrise and first sign of sundown. my retrieve varies. if the bass are a lil shy and just swipes at it, i usually slow my retrieves or pause a little long with little pops. if the bass are really active i make really hard pops or almost as if i am rip...

x3 Gammys...if the hook keeper slips i just take it off and tie a new one on

to me, its a senko, so any color

Uni Knot majority of the time; if need a quick retie its gonna be a SD Jam

lv-500.... give me any color
