Re: Anglo Paragon G4113

Thanks for your reply, fishinblack. I don't intend to use anything over 4 g with this rod, but might expand down to Tackle House Twinkle 45 F. How does the cast feel on the light end of lure weights? It casts very well, because the blank loads even without a lure. So it doesn‘t matter to much if yo...

Re: Anglo Paragon G4113

I‘ve got a Anglo and Company Paragon G411-3 since a few weeks. I‘ve paired it with a fully tuned, blacked out CC BFS. (spool, handle,dragstar, thumbbar, knobs, lineguide, etc.) Feeling and sensitivity is incredibly good for a glas rod. Casting is so effortless and smooth with the blanks quick loadin...

Re: Fragment factory

Oh my god, that packaging is a drawback :shock: Until now, it never came across my mind to question their rod packing skills. Mine came in a short cartboard tube. The two rod joints were placed separately in thin plastic foil. There was almost no space left inside the tube, so the rod couldn‘t move ...

Re: Evergreen Black Raven Extreme

the first fishes were caught, let me tell you one thing: this rod is special! The sensitivity of this rod is mind blowing. With the last review video of Katsutaka Imae in mind, I started testing with a small 1/8 oz Keitech Guard Spin Rubberjig and a Keitech 3" Hog impact trailer. Even though it's t...

seems sick for sure. wish they made it a little longer but I guess that would take away from the black raven's true form

Any idea what guides they used?
Has to be Torizite for sure.
I'm very exited about this new rod, just preordered two for me and a friend of mine.
I will keep you updated :D

Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!

Re: Daiwa Alphas Air TW 2020

Here's a in depth video comparing the new Alphas Air TW and the Steez Air TW: https://youtu.be/o-IBipmjRpc There seems to be a difference between both KTF spools, despite weighing the same. The inductors of the spools are different, with the Steez Air spool-inductor being a bit smaller. Also the mag...

Re: Evergreen Grand Stallion GTX?

Bringing this one back up. Recently acquired this rod and I’ll echo fishinblack that the Grand Stallion GTX is very capable of the 0.5-6oz range. I was wondering if this was going to be a classic JDM rating with a questionable top end but this rod will launch 6 oz baits in its sleep. Sensitivity as...
