Well I'm the opposite I've never casted a tatula however I own the Antares and when casting a duo G87 it will cast so far that you probably just have a prayer if you think you could get an effective hook set at the end of one of those cast should a fish hit it. I'm using 12 lb Tatsu with 8 ft Dobyns...

Definitely considering it

I'm thinking the MGL Met for frogs ! Anyone agree. Without spending the $650 for the DC Antares it looks like the best option

You"ll love the RM Dobyns !,

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why dint you like the DC models ? Just curious

After my November trip to Florida, I decided I wanted a dedicated punching rod. My research led me to believe a more parabolic action was better. Even the TT review of the Aaron martins flipping stick suggested that a more parabolic rod might be better. My study of rods led me to believe the Dobyns...

So has anyone used the new Hvy 7''4" LE for frogs? Just curious I'm considering one for Frogs/jigs dual purpose. The measurements on The handles on TW show the Croix as having a handle allmost 3" longer. Wonder if that is because the new PTS reel seat is longer than the skeletonized on the NRX.

I chose BPS simply because their crankbait rods are great rods regardless of price

Great reviews! I'm sold guess I need to try a new HP ,,!

806cb Dobyns but the fatigue part IMO is more in the reel,I'm using a 5.5 Chronarch 200e but more importantly I've added a 102mm Hawgtech handle and throwing and retrieving 10XD's is quite effortless on the retrieve

The 10lb leader would break waaaaay before that rod would. You'll be fine

I wouldn't use 11lb anything for buzzbaits. Your looking to get your feelings hurt if a big fish or big smallie slams it.

I have had and have some high end crackers and IMO that Bass Pro 7'6" medium crankin stick is "A great Rod" for the money I think they are $79 bucks. I also have a Powell max 3d in 7'5" I think . It's prolly on sale somewhere and it's a fantastic crankin rod for the cranks you describe. Just my 2 ce...

Some one HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! I can't stop looking and wanting to buy tackle. Reels and rods and lures and anything related to fishing, gloves lures. Fishing suits like gamakatsu. Now I'm going into Japanese tackle stores. Like tackle berry, yahoo auction Japan. Point Japanese tackle store http://w...
