Re: Just some new stuff
Mail Call, did the mailman tow it to your house behind his mail truck? Sweet boat, I bet it has more room for gear than your duck boat.Teal101 wrote:It's been awhile since I've posted up a mail call so heres a few of the bigger ones for me this year

Thanks for the epiphany captain obvious
Re: Just some new stuff
Nice acquisitions. I scored a white python slant bridge myself as well as a metallic red PO. Wouldn't mind an AOI and an IS71 Illusion to add to the arsenal. Liking the new boat as well, very nice.

Re: Just some new stuff
Congrats on the new boat. I bet it's a little faster than the old one! Don't scare the wife. Mine won't ride with me anymore, unless I take the kids to a small lake with a low speed limit.
Re: Just some new stuff
I love seeing all the pictures in these threads, but have a rookie question... What is the handle offset on some of those rods for? I see it on a lot of the highly regarded JDM rods, but have no idea what it is for...
Re: Just some new stuff
That's the Megabass "slant bridge" that appeared on some models (i.e. Diablo I & II, White Python, Mephisto, Jota, etc.). The idea behind it is that it helps when fighting a fish as the offset handle tucks under the arm nicely, increasing leverage. Looks funky and it works.DirtyD64 wrote:I love seeing all the pictures in these threads, but have a rookie question... What is the handle offset on some of those rods for?

And to the appeal of the enthusiast, the slant bridge rods were made in quite limited numbers.

Re: Just some new stuff
Well done, sir! Congrats on the boat and the sick gear.

I think it helps with casting, also.jmb27 wrote:That's the Megabass "slant bridge" that appeared on some models (i.e. Diablo I & II, White Python, Mephisto, Jota, etc.).

Re: Just some new stuff
Best of the beast, as always.
Re: Just some new stuff
Wow! Nice year!!!
Re: Just some new stuff
Perhaps. I haven't noticed any real difference in casting difference versus using two hands on a regular handle.BigG wrote:I think it helps with casting, also.jmb27 wrote:That's the Megabass "slant bridge" that appeared on some models (i.e. Diablo I & II, White Python, Mephisto, Jota, etc.).
