Re: For people who find Dobyns Rods Mediocre
Few years ago fished the Champ 733/734 underwhelmed with the feel I sold them pretty quickly. Just traded for a Kistler H3 with NFC blank and find myself enjoying this rod as much as my NRX843 and Nautilus. I also own a Mark Rose KLX Off Shore crank which I've been very pleased with even going as f...

Re: Where do you spend the money?
I'd say $150 is the most I'd spend on reels.the $200 reel market is strong with tatula type r,curado I,lews tournament pro & bb1 pro,pflueger patriarch,revo stx,concept A & all these reels can be had for $150 in ebay or sales.until some one proves IN PERSON that a 3-$500 can outcast a $200 reel by a...

dobyns dx745 vs nrx 873 vs zbone 7'3 heavy
I'm currently using the dx745 for 3/4oz football jigs only.was thinking about upgrading to one of the other 2 rods.was mainly interested in stiffness,jus don't want a rod for 3/4oz fb jigs that's lighter n action than the dx.if anyone can compare stiffness of any of the 3 rods,I'd appreciate it.not ...

Re: 13 Reels at Icast
For what it's worth i've had an A model since they came out and i'm very impressed. It far outcasts my T3 Ballistics i used to use plus it's smoother and way more comfortable. I've played with my friends KP prototype and it is a machine of a reel. We were casting 4g easily with it the other day. I ...

Re: Finally.. new braking system on Lew's reels!
I'm sure the lews tournament lite's nickname will b the "curado I killer" How sure are ya? 8-) nothing is a 100% in bass fishing.I was a former curado e owner & then switch all of them over to lews tourney pros.I'm POSITIVE I'm not the only one.I'm sure its not a big diff in the curado I & curado e

Re: Why not kistler?
Just got back from El Salto, took 2 new Helium3 and a Z-Bone, the 7'4" MH was great as was the 7'3" H. The LE5 was awesome. Had no problems with Trey, he has been a great guy to deal with. I was most impressed with the backbone on the Heliums. They handled 7-8-9 lb fish easily, almost not fair to t...

Re: Phenix at ICast
I HEARD the price point would be around $399.their highest price rod now is $299.I know custom rod places that will build one on a k2 blank for $399.I wouldn't pay full price,but with places like Btd & TW,a 20% off sale would definitely be worth a rod with a blank that's lighter & more sensitive tha...

Re: switching from dobyns to kistler?
I switched from DX rods over to Z Bones for my bottom contact baits and I've been very happy. I had a DX703, DX743 and DX744 and switched to all custom Z Bones. If you wait for a sale you can get the custom Z Bones for slightly more than the Extremes retail for. The builds are really great and the ...
