good feedback juancho... were you mostly side-/overhead casting, or pitching? what were your impressions re: performance of the ZPI Mg spool vs. the Type-R tuned GIGAS? did one cast better than the other or was the difference minimal at best? do you find yourself changing the Magforce setting when ...

Hi Guys;

5bites: It's defintely a fast action rod.

Fishingboy: It was a new in box Steez.

Hi Guys, Had a blast yesterday, nothing really big just a ton of fish on topwater and later in the day on Drop Shot. Here are some comments about the gear i used yesterday. 1- Loomis BCR802 GLX with TD-ITO 103M with 6.3:1 gear ratio swap. Spooled with 10 lb. test fluouro on the ZPI Spool and i have ...

Hi Guys, It's been a few weeks since i've gone out and a few months since i've gone out by myself. Needless to say i'm excited. Weather is perfect, boat is ready and i have new gear that i am eager to try. Had the "weapons" laid out and the battery for the camera had just finished re-charging so i t...

Hi Guys, This is my latest acquisition. The rod i purchased form tackletour member "Winstondry" who i met for the first time yesterday. Great guy, very professional and courteous. Oh and also GREAT deal! The Steez i won it on Ebay also for a great price, almost $100.00 of retail. I think you will ag...

Thanks TravisNJ, that's what i was looking for.

One last question, does anybody have a link to the rod specs. that show the rod weights?

Thanks Basspro. Do you have a link or some literature that talks about this? Are the guides on the Extreme series also Alconite or did they go for SIC's on them?

Aside from the different grip configurations, what other differences exist between these two rods to justify the price increase.

I searched the archives but could not find the answer guys so sorry if it's been discussed and i just missed it.

Thanks.

Price: 42000 Yen

Where to get it: Probably Plat or Brooklyn Bill

It's their small to medium size swimbait stick.

Let us know if you get it.

OK Guys, swap was extremely easy. My only question is on "gear greasing" i only put a small ammount on the pinion gear which is what the original parts reflected. The main gear did not appear to be greased. Reel feels great, the weight increase is not noticeable, it went from 6.2 to 6.7 oz spooled w...

Ok Guys,

The parts are in, before i do this mod. is there anything i need to watch out for? Springs or E-Clips flying of, etc, etc.

Thanks.

Can you explain what this is ChuckE, which parts would i need to buy in order to perform this upgrade? What are the benefits?

Thanks.

Cool Combo. I love the way it matches! What are you planning on throwing with it?

Throw some red I'ZE knobs on it and it will look even better

These are my favorites in 12 and 16".
