Where does one find a instrument like that?

very nice acquisition. Now what rod are you going to "set out" to buy?

I don't personally like them but an NRX would be a good colour match for the reel.

That's a nice alternative to the PX-R. Let us know how it fishes.

Well right now this reel will be on a Megabass Rattle Viper. However, with the way I have been buying fishing stuff here lately, that could change at any point! The X4 Hedgehog has had my attention for sometime now as well. Unfortunately, my collection is suffering from severe reel attrition at this point. So, there are some reels that will have to be added to the collection before another finesse rod comes into the picture.


Thanks for the kind words guys, I will let y'all know how it fishes after this weekend!
