Re: We really not gonna talk about the new 2020 Ultima 172H “full carbon triangle grip”?
It is here!! And.....WOW! What a beautiful and nice feeling rod! :D Weighs in at 4.27 ounces on my scale and feels very light and balanced. You wouldn’t really know that it is a 7’2” Heavy powered rod. Balances directly in front of the locking nut with a Met MGL and slightly into the lock nut with a...

Re: Shipping times nowadays
I ordered a reel from Ichiban Tackle (who typically uses EMS) several weeks ago and it is nowhere in sight!

Re: Help with Evergreen designations
Yes we do need an "Evergreen guide for dumies" thread! Especially since its harder to just find online like Megabass stuff. So Designo is produced certain lines of blanks for Evergreen kind of like Olympic does now? My Stingray says Designo so I guess that means Designo produced that particular bla...

Re: Help with Evergreen designations
I was thinking the same thing the other day about an “Evergreen guide for dummies” thread pinned at the top like the old MB thread. I’m no expert, but I believe there was a short time a while back where Designo supplied some blanks for certain EG rods, hence the “Designo” designation on some rods (S...

Re: We really not gonna talk about the new 2020 Ultima 172H “full carbon triangle grip”?
Thank you both for the feedback. I have the 2020 on pre-order and even though it may not serve as that heavy powered jig/t/rig rod I am still very excited about it and know that I will find plenty of uses. I have lots of traditional American “fast action” rods and am growing more fond of the JDM “du...

Re: SIP Project : DSR820S GLX Rebuild
Great job, Cal. Looks sweet!! I’m with you on not liking an over abundance of cork (or EVA) on the foregrip. I really like to be able to put a finger on the blank.

Re: We really not gonna talk about the new 2020 Ultima 172H “full carbon triangle grip”?
I agree it looks very similar to the gen 1. That big ol' taper has almost thrown me off the boat a few times trying to set the hook and it just continuing to bend. I swear I've started in the front of my boat and end up in the back before finishing my full swing with a 1/2oz jig. :lol: How does the...

Here's a video from Gong Lei fishing with the Poison Ultima 172H 2020 (i believe so because the handle is full carbon), do correct me if you guys think otherwise. https://www.facebook.com/GongLei1818/videos/1412266275642146/UzpfSTg0Mjk0NDYwNDoxMDE1ODE4NTAzMDk4NDYwNQ/ Wow!! Definitely not fragile!

Re: Steez Racing Design 701MH / HXB-ST
Well the advice on this thread is what made me pull the trigger and it was exactly as I was expecting and hoping! It is what I was hoping my PIII Bearing Down would be but that rod was a little too stiff and didn't cast like I hoped. But this is perfect! It's like you guys said, similar to the Jave...

Re: We really not gonna talk about the new 2020 Ultima 172H “full carbon triangle grip”?
I have pre-ordered, but no info on arrival (especially now with the apparent news that shipping out of Japan is slowing). I heard rumor (on here) that the original April release date had been pushed to May.
