Took the words right out of my mouth... or try an M1 7'2"H

Another Manufacturer of rods I can't find. One day I will own one.

After much research and searching tackletour, and a few phone calls, I managed to find TWO 13 Fishing Omen Black rods on sale within an hours' drive. I bought two of them for $165! :) 7'1" MH Omen Black, to replace the broken 7'3" Verdict. Good upgrade it seems. This one is for 1/4-1/2oz t-rigs and...

i have owned and fished a second-generation revo S and i just recently sold a new third-generation revo S (the white one) that i never even spooled with line. i've also had many curados. if your main concern is throwing lighter baits, the curado will do it better. however, i'd also pick the curado ...

Also, what are your opinions on the Crucial or Compre line? Crucial 7'2" Worm/Jig rod: CRCX72MHA - $150 locally Compre 7'2" Worm/Jig rod: CPC72MHC - $110 locally Own the MH/XF Crucial in that length,..good sensitivity, but I find it a little tip heavy, that is my main complaint. Other than that a g...

My experience in this range is the MH/F Veritas 7'3". It is a solid rod and has good enough sensitivity for using bottom contact baits. I also own two Compres and in compairson, I find they are both about equal with the exception that the Veritas power rating isn't the same as the Compre. For exampl...

At first glance it looks odd to me too. Then noticed it looks like it was part of how they put it together. I noticed it on my GLX 853C. Looks the same spiral, never bothered to ask for a definitive answer.

Thanks for the advice all, I will go up the next level.

I was thinking it would work because of the softer tip. Ah oh well!

Does anyone know if this rod can be used as a punching rod? I'm in the market for one and was finally thinking of trying one of these Phenix lines. If, not the other option i have is buying a used Kistler Z-Bone LE 7'6" H/Moderate Fast. Anyone know if this would be good enough to punch mats?

Just get ready the 893's are like potato chips you can't just have one. Ha, well I decided two get two rods instead of one. You are totally right, I bought the 853 for the lighter stuff and bought an 894 now (got a great deal). I just couldn't just have one! Now I'm contemplating on getting another...

It is a local tackle shop up here in Ontario, Canada. In Kitchener, Ontario - Natural Sports. I mean it looks nice, but I just don't know if I'd ever use a spinning rod at the power/action since I have several BCs in that range. lol Still, it looks like a great deal. So I'm mulling it. If you live n...

To add I am newbie when it comes to Daiwa Rods and reels. I do own 2 Lexas and 1 low end T Rod for top water, but thats my extent in owning Daiwa specifically for bass.

I just saw one for 110 (Fuego) and 159 (Zillion). They were MH/XF for the fuego 7' and a 7' XH Zillion. They are on clearance, I was wondering are these two prices too good to pass on? I really wouldn't know what I would use each for, but they look like nice rods and felt good. Curious on what would...

That is interesting, I have had no issues with it loosening. I own Crucials, Compres and a Clarus never had a single problem with it getting loose. Now the one that drives me nuts the most are the Veritas screw down and the like, I have problems sometimes placing/removing reels on them.

Thanks guys for the confirmation. I'll go purchase the 893. It's going to be exciting!

So I'm ready to take the plunge for my first G Loomis rod after holding a GLX in store today. I was really looking for a Cumara, but when I saw the new GLX..it was like it was calling to me. :lol: Once I held that bad boy, it was like it was made for me and it felt natural. The guy even showed me th...
