Been looking at MC for about 2 years, and just haven't pull the trigger on one. Looks like the Volkey 692xul may fit my needs,
big bream. Enjoyed the post.

These rod are the best looking rods Gloomis is offering right now. Love the full cork grips, the lime green highlights wouldn't be my choice, but are that bad. Some full cork grips on the NRX like on the 916C would rock.

Center of reel, but a inch in front of reel works OK. Sometimes it's a trade-off between a lighter rod or balanced rod, especially with the longer rods. I continue to resist adding balancers.

I been using Rat-L-Traps since the 70's and have bought many others to try. I was most disappointed with the red eye shad, just couldn't catch on it. What I've learned is that is you fish one bait 99% of the time, you ain't going to catch fish in that 1% that's left.

X2 I also picked up some Megabass Big O's, I'm going to give a chance.

JD love your write ups, it' amazing what you catch on those light rods.

It does, but I want a Lin. This thread doesn't help my finances.

Candy store. A lot of cool stuff.

Tackle Trap as well

Wrong hand, I want one bad. Great acquisition.

Wow, too much!

All new to me, really excited about the Binksy.

I find that most of my MB balance at or just above the foregrip, my NRX's are the same way. Used to bother me, but out on the water have all fish well. So I just decided that the fact they don't balance at the reel, doesn't matter near as much if they perform.

843C MBR
893C JWR
895C JWR
822S SYR
902S JWR

Thinking about adding 873C CRR and wish Gloomis would make 844C MBR and 904S JWR.

I tried every thing from a Steez to Zillon on mine and ended up with a Fuego on mine. About 7 1/2 oz. works best for me.
