These prices are getting out of hand. SUB $200 USD?! I'm gonna cave and get one with a matching Tatula Elite rod. I just know it.

Yes, look on Asian Portal or Digitaka.

Seems like a great deal.

Re: G-Loomis NRX+ 802c

I have two IMX Pro 852C JWR rod that I love. I imagine the NRX+ would be similar. I think it would be too heavy for some of the stuff you want to use it for. I use mine for 5/16 finesse jigs, light t rigs, weightless stick baits, belly weighted 3.5" swimbaits, and it has become my favorite rod. The ...

Re: One Texas rig/small rig jod

Definitely the 852 JWR.
They got some butt to them, but a great lip tip section.

Maybe looks like the 70 with a deeper spool? Anyone?
If that's the case, it's just marginally deeper.

Re: New Curado MGL 150

70 MGL 105 yds of 10lb line and 4 break pins
150 MGL 120 yds of 10lb line and 6 break pins

Weight is very close. What other differences are there?

Threw 3.5-4oz soft plastic swimbaits with mine during the Spring.. no issues.
In the TT review there's a mention of not using the JDM model for bigger lures, and your preference for the USA model for heavier baits.
Zander's opinion/recommendation... not mine ;)
Got it!

NEW G Loomis rod line, GCX

Looks like an updated E6x line of rods. New rod grips/seat, and guides. Doesn't seem like they updated the blank.

Re: Tatula limited release date?

Before the hate. When will the Tatula limited be available to purchase? You knew that wouldn't take long :lol: I'll get one myself without a doubt. In a few years, I think this one will be sought after and in demand much like the Tatula Sterling. It is noticeably different than the standard version...

Re: Kistler rod clearance

They spent years cultivating a brand based on quality USA made NFC blanks and TX labor. Most people I know that bought Kistler did so for NFC and a fully USA made product. They dropped the two best selling points of their product and raised prices...it doesn't take a genius to see where that was go...

My 8.5 has bottom contact duty and had pulled quite a few fish now. Still as smooth as new.

That's what I was looking at. The 8.5.
