Literally just pulled my FMJ out of the rod tube 3 minutes ago!!! Very first immediate impression, this one sexy gorgeous stick, and incredibly light weight for its rated power! =D> Haven't tested the taper or mounted a reel yet so can't comment beyond that first impression. But I think this could g...

My FedEx tracking number just got sent to me. \:D/ FYI - they were all generated today in advance of a mass shipment tomorrow. Just trying to get ahead of the game a little bit :lol: All Tackle Trap pre-ordered US Destroyer models will be shipping out tomorrow guys! Yoohoo! Weather is looking good ...

Thanks Gary!

So - anyone know what "FMJ" stands for? :big grin: :lol: I've had this conversation a few times now. I just guessed "Full Metal Jacket" myself. On FMJ buyer suggested "For My Jig" which is a definite possibility too. I'll ask for the "official" word soon. These are getting closer to arrival \:D/ Af...

Thanks for this thread, good to hear these are available to order from Shimano. I love the 90mm handle on my new Chronarch MGL, and I want to get 3 of them - 2 for Curado's, and 1 for a Chronarch CI4. 96mm even better in my book. I have put the 96mm handles from Met XGs on my 13 Met and two CI4 Chr...

Sweet thanks Bryan!

These new Tatula Signature Series rods will be in stock at The Tackle Trap and shipping this coming Friday to everyone who pre-orders before then on a first come first served basis. I haven't had the opportunity to fish any of these yet, but I plan to do so soon. They look and feel very nice at the...

Now I REALLY want an FMJ.

X2 on the FMJ , sounds like it will be a great jig stick ,can't wait !!!!!!

X3 I'm gonna be in so much trouble...

For about 10 min I mounted the new Chronarch on my Kistler Helium 3 MH/XF and threw a 3/8 jig plus trailer around the yard. Did this sort of side by side with my 13 Met on the same rod and same bait, just swapped the reel out. Both spooled with 40 and 50 lb braid. In this very short test in poor lig...

If its a cork grip that FMJ is going to be pretty hard to resist. I'm still on the hunt for "the jig" rod, and I keep putting off the NRX because I'm unsure about the skeletonized reel seat. Kevin, the FMJ is split grip. The handle part of the split is cork, the rear grip is EVA. Thanks Gary that s...

How smooth are the Micro-Module gears? Seem as smooth as you would expect, not quite as geary feeling as the previous version of the reel. But hard to say if its a night and day difference yet. I've only really tested it in practice around the yard, I think the gearing differences will be more noti...

I have a lot more testing to do with my new Chronarch MGL but my experience has been different so far. I've spooled it with 50 lb braid right now, and after a bit of breaking in I'm throwing 3/8oz practice plug with only two tabs on and dial on 1.5-3 with no drama. Getting good distance for me for t...

Wait more products? Do tell, what else is coming? Am I going to regret getting a Chronarch MGL suddenly?
