Daiwa Zillion G casting vs. Steez SV TW

Hello, can anyone please comment on how the Zillion G casting performance compares to the Steez SV TW? Does the Zillion cast as far with minimal effort? Thanks!

Have you fished the NRX+ BLADED JIG Rod?

Very curious to hear anyone's feedback and thoughts about the NRX+ BLADED JIG rod. With a lure rating of 3/16-5/8, it seems like it might be underpowered for a 1/2oz bait with decent sized trailer? The choice of fast action is also curious for this technique, so I'm wondering if anyone has this rod ...

Re: Locking forceps vs Long reach wire cutters

If it is fully swallowed, it would probably not be possible to cut any part of the hook either with wire cutters either. Some good quality cutters, short and long handle are still a must have for various situations. Harbor Freight sells 11" long reach diagonal cutters for $7. The hook was beyond the...

Re: Locking forceps vs Long reach wire cutters

It is good to have both forceps and cutters on hand.

There are some good youtube videos showing how to do this in detail....

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!

I don't know if this was discussed, but I was pleased to see the Bladed Jig rod. It seems like it may be a little unpowered for say a 1/2oz chatter with a Zako? Going by the lure weight rating of 3/16 - 5/8oz. I know many like a moderate action, and this is fast, so maybe why that's why there's less...

Re: What is your go-to Jackhammer/Cricket trailer?

Zako, Strike King blade minnow, Big Bite Swimon work year round for me... and for more vibration, I go to a paddle tail like Kickin Zako or Gambler little EZ

Can anyone share observations about how the new Tat SV casts compared to the previous? Does it cast about the same, or different in any way(s)? Thanks!
