Re: Monoblock spool weights

Not to mention differences in scales. What you weigh then I way will be different, accuracy of our individual scales.

Re: Reel impact on perception of rod sensitivty

I own an Evergreen SuperStallion and the difference is night and day depending on which reel it’s mated with. I wanted to use my MB Origin with this rod for some bottom contact, carolina rig fishing. I was not impressed and blamed the rod for the poor feel and sensitivity. The very next day I decide...

Re: NRX 894 vs MB Nautilus for 1/2oz jigs in 15 to 20ft

If you dial back the DC brakes to their lowest settings and adjust the tension control cap to what is comfortable for you, and you have a trained thumb it will help maximize distance. Then when the wind picks up you dial back in the D...

Re: Monoblock Questions

I couldn’t agree more with both John and Gary, I throw 1/4 oz. to 3/4 oz. all the time using the stock spool. Only my reels are tunes by e_bassfisher which gives me an edge. :big grin:

Re: More Reels being tuned by DRAVE part 1

OK I was initially confused by the term tuned. Better word in my opinion is being dressed up by Drave. Nice looking handles and knobs for sure!
