Hey Bronzefly...my bad...the rod is a Super 0rochi F-5 68x4. I'll give you a call at the Trap.

Thanks guys for all the suggestion. Several things I liked about the M166: tossing 1/4 oz top waters (pop-x etc), length of rod, hook set and ability to turn a fish. I've already got an nrx 843, St Croix LXC70mf & Destroyer f4 super orochi (thank you Jerry) so that slot is covered. If anyone has exp...

Snapped my adrena M166(below 4th eye)tossing a spook. Rod was over 2 years old...never abused but...no warranty. Rod was paired with a IS73 & honeycomb spool. I fish a lot of small northern lakes loaded with lilly pads. The combo was perfect for "sniper" casting...hitting holes and edges. Toss mostl...

Goldenrod, like we say on the farm,"I smell what you're steppin' in". I have several is 73's but my favorite (thank you Max) has the mb honeycomb spooled with defier.(Never understood why a cat puts out that kind of coin for a flagship reel, then sends it off to get super tuned, bearings and drag up...

After joining TT, I waded into the loomis waters buying glx 803 and 844. The 803 was paired with my first steez and the 844 got a calais. Still have the 844 and the calais. My son uses that setup almost exclusively now, but every once in awhile, I steal it from him. That rod & reel combo are magic, ...

Broke a nrx 895 on a hook set (throwing frogs ...large pike). Sent the rod to Loomis...new nrx within one week to my door. Great folks...great customer service.

x2....hate fishing with a leader...pike are the devil fish...where I fish...catch & release anything under 26"....fun to catch but they're true line cutters = $$$$....regardless of the size.

893..."it" factor
843...most versatile
852s..one of the finest spinning rods made

From tt board, I picked up a swept 95mm carbon handle. Handle had been previously installed on a px68. Was going to use it on a pixy rebuild. Just no time and too many reels... so it was gone. I would imagine one would have to purchase (if you don't have) a compatible drag star to conform with the s...

pm on handle

The good doctor.

Lowrange...nice pike...she's a line cutter. Bite...hook set...bait gone. That's dancing with pike.
