13 fishing archangel

Post by bmlum » Tue May 26, 2015 4:43 pm

Does anyone have a review on this rod yet? I'm wanting to pick one up but I want to know if they're worth the $650+. If possible to answer to those with the NRX and Archangel, how do they compare? Thanks.

Someone here pulled the trigger last week. I would imagine an update is coming soon.

I've used a 611M quite extensively in Australia.
Can't say what it's like for US style lures but over here we use that style rod for hopping lipless vibration baits like jackalls etc.

I've owned a Megabass Evoluzion Elseil rod in the past and rate the Archangel every bit as nice to use. I'd also rate it on par sensitivity wise with my old Evergreen Stallion.

I will add it is the most comfortable handle i've ever held.
Even going from the ENVY or OMEN to an Archangel is like chalk & cheese.
Fuji killed it on that reel seat and the grips match it perfectly.
