Re: Casting Ned Rig rod

For what it's worth, I've been able to fish the Steez AGS "Finesse Game Special" a bit recently and it is indeed a great casting finesse rod. I didn't have any issues maintaining bottom contact with 1/8oz heads + worm in 18 feet of water, but on deep offshore spots (22-25 feet) I'll go to a 3/16oz ...

Re: Maybe I'm Crazy BUT...

Do reels enhance sensitivity? I don't feel like it gets talked about much but it seems like certain reels enhance sensitivity when I tested it with the same rod and line. Maybe it's the material? I have no idea. What are your thoughts? Yeppers, this has been discussed at length and noted many times...

Anybody know the guide material? I know they originally used torzite but changed to sic due to supply constraints in Japan

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?

I like jarring sensitivity, the kind that scares you when you swim your bait into a rock :doh: Me too. Zander mentioned that several times he had a fish on, and the rod feedback was that 'something didn't feel right'. I used to get a lot of those kind of bites before I picked up my first Loomis IMX...

My hope is they're balanced well to offset their weight. If you could post pics of the balancing point when you get them in, t...
