Re: Phenix Adds to their Heavy Powered Arsenal : The M1 MX72

Just thought I'd mention that the rod weight was listed as 4 oz. at the beginning of the article, but 5.3 oz. in the Lab Results/RoDWrack section. Figured one of the 2 had to me a typo..FYI

Re: Daiwa's New Workhorse Has Thoroughbred Tendencies : Tatu

I am pretty shocked at the MSRP of $149 and its proximity to the Lexa. It does seem like a lot of features at that price point. Not sure if that's awesome or scary. Has there been any specs/price released for the Type-R version that was mentioned?

Re: FPI is going to ruffle some feathers...

I don't see how this will change anything. Who says belief has to be supported by facts? :) Seriously, I am interested to see each of the lines compare to one another. I am not a huge flourocarbon guy but I'd like to see some actual data around here for a change. There is actually already of ton of...

Re: Introducing TackleTour's FPI-Fluorocarbon Performance In

I love the line data, as its many times the biggest "secret" of the fishing industry. For what it's worth, however, I don't like to see a line penalized for its labeling (JDM/class line will rule the category for nothing other than a mind-set) and I'd like to see tensile strength (strength...

Re: Stop Whining? It's Shimano Japan's Scorpion DC

The 6.3 version makes a sweet spinnerbait reel, especially chucking them into the wind...kind of an overlooked app for this DC system, if you are looking for one...although the exchange rate still hurts...A Calais it isn't, in regards to a smooth, moving bait retreive....although that wasn't expected.

Re: Is the Revo MGX the New Lightweight King?

I DO find it interesting that..... 1. Abu has lived off the 18-24lbs of drag in their marketing.... 2. Many Revo users assumed the MGX drag was 18+lbs. before they read the specs, if they ever did. 3. The MGX specs at 12lbs. 4. The reel actually tested at 5lbs. So...What will happen.. Will Revo beli...
