Must not be the titanium alconites. I thought Fuji stopped producing those. I've never had an issue with alconites myself. Still have a handful of customs with them. Blank is much more important to me.

Re: What’s up with Kistler rods??
Kisler is moving on to yet another blank manufacturer. Dedicated thread on it.

Re: Kistler back to US made blanks
Could be any number of companies, who knows. It would be awesome if they went with Point Blank, but I don't know if those are manufactured in the States. I haven't purchased or used anything from Kisler in ages. Since the original Magnesium built on Shikari blanks. Wish I still had that one.

Re: Raid Japan Rods
I've been told that the Technix rods were really good for bottom contact if you can find one.

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
I can't imagine trying to get a solid hook set from 100 yards away.

Re: Shimano Excite Top Rods
I prefer a solid tip for light, feel, line watching techniques, such as hover strolling. Took me a while to feel comfortable with them, but I now own 3 solid tip rods. Definitely not for everyone.

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
It can hold 100 yards of 12lb line. Not sure what lb test you want to use, but that should be plenty of line for most bass fishing applications. Most of my Daiwa reels hold roughly 20 to 30 yards less, and I haven't ran into any issues. I don't really fish anything heavier than a half ounce though.

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
Does anyone know if the brake adjustment slider has clicks / notches, or does it just freely slide back and forth?

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
Never had a size 70 reel before. Is it more specific for pitching and shorter casts due to the line capacity? Looking to replace my 15 Met DC as an all purpose reel for under 1/2 oz lures. I thought my 15 Met DC was best served for baits 3/8 oz and up. It would be nice if this new model handled bai...

Re: Varivas Nylon Line
I might suggest just starting by trying their ‘Varivas Bass’ nylon line. It’s a fairly new release. I haven’t tried it myself but I did try some shock leader from Varivas last year for beach and pier fishing as an alternative to the seaguar gold label and I was highly impressed. I don’t think they ...

Varivas Nylon Line
Browsing the website, they have a ton of nylon lines. There's a dozen I'm curious about and want to try one, but I have no idea where to start. I'm looking for something to throw cranks and top water around 1/4oz and 3/8oz. I fish a lot of rip rap and chunk rock. I see they have some floating mono l...
