Lots of workhorses I see here! Great collection!

See your a fan of the PX-Type R haha! I really like mine! Really digging the IS71HL as well! The PXL-R is one of my favorite reels.. behind the IS line of course. I'm a lefty too, I've always coveted the IS line but I have to start saving now for things other than JDM tackle so I have to seek somet...

I really like that Air Beam reel seat, the only thing is the trigger looks a little too round for me... But overall a great addition to your collection. Reminds me I need to make a JDM purchase soon...

Proof?

Megabass blank are made in china then the rod is assembled in japan. That's no secret.

That is the case for their more value based rods but I'm not sure if that is the case for their upper echelon lineups.

I still find their lures interesting enough (although maybe they're overdoing the 110 thing just a bit), but these days the rod and reel lineup is starting to feel more like tarted-up Honda than Pagani Zonda... Once again, I'm thinking the same thing, glad I'm not the only one feeling the way. Thei...

My x7 Cyclone Advantage arrived the other day, should get it out for a cast in the next few days and provide some feedback. Seems like a nice stick though, much stiffer than I thought it would be, but thats an advantage for the fishing I do. I'm thinking of getting that one, how is it for you? For ...

I would assume most of that is right... But a lot of it is just the fact the shops don't understand English very well .

How about these? They're probably a bit older than you meant, but lure collecting is fun and interesting. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/PCW77/Lures/Slopenose-2pb_zpsc114db06.jpg A Heddon Slopenose from the early 1900s. How about all those hooks? http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/P...

I don't have any faith in them keeping those lures very long. In my experience Basspro tends to attract more of the customers that are used to crankbaits that cost about 5 bucks, not $25. But still interesting to see that Megabass is finally getting a foothold in the USDM.

Too bad, I still love their older stuff. These days, it's like they've sold their soul for profit.

I've been feeling the same way, but only time will tell for now...

Sounds like a truly memorable experience. I know how you feel, losing a trophy fish is very hard to deal with. Always try my best to make my catch makes it back into the water in the best condition possible.

I would get the Monoblock, but I am biased towards Megabass...

Mine is my goto river small mouth reel. I have it on a steez 7-1 compile x with 10 pound sniper. This thing will pitch or cast 1/8 oz football jigs like crazy. Only other reel like it other than a pixy is a steez with a megabass spool. Me too, but I use mine on a Destroyer Criffhanger. Really good ...

I really like mine. The colours are great and the changeable lip is really neat. The action is great too. Caught some fish on it but plan on using it a lot this year. I don't why they just now started endorsing it so much as it came out awhile ago. I think it was sometime around August-September.
