Re: Airrus Stargate.. what you think?

Didn't even realize the series was still being made... here's our review of the 7'2" Heavy powered rod in case it helps: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewairrusstargate.html Thank you, I've read it... but looking at their website, looks like it's a totally different rod https://www.rodsbyairrus.com/...

Re: Concept reels the same as Okumas...or similar?

All them OEM reels are pretty much the same junk. As an avid user of primarily high end Shimano and daiwa, I can tell you this is a crap, baseless statement. I've got a few Lew's, a concept E, a Helios air, an mgx.... I try them all out from time to time. The higher end OEM reels are pretty nice in...

I'm using the lucky craft's screw pointers with good success. They are perfect when retrieved slowly on the bottom

Re: interesting previews for the 2012 Icast

Radical designs don't interest me too much however I am really looking forward to the Fenwick AETOS rods, they look like another winner. without radical design and designers we would not have had the chance to see the fenwick aetos, split grip, exposed blank were considered 7-8 years ago "radical d...

Re: Rods still not out from 2011 ICAST?

I preordered the airrus nano fusion some time ago and had a chance to talk with Mr. Whiting, the delay is related to a very complicated production process that involves four different factories, they had some issues with suppliers but the rods will be finally available at the end of may.

Re: Airrus K3 Nano Fusion

I'm really interested in the technological advancement in fishing industry, and reading about the nano-technology i found out that buckypaper used by airrus is not just a resin, but is a material wrapped around the blank:

Re: Airrus K3 Nano Fusion

Sounds very promising, too bad they don't list the weights of the rods. So far I haven't been too impressed with the Airrus rods i've felt. Maybe they can impress some people once again I hear ya,bud..I havent fancied anything in their previous line up either,but this one has my interest..and,in my...
