The elusive one has been captured...
Here are a few items I have recently acquired, as well as a piece that I couldn't seem to get my hands on... until now.
First up are two new X7's that I added to my lineup. I have had the Super Eiger and Shading X for a while and loved them so much I decided to pick up a few more.
These rods are the X7 Bearing Down Type X and the X7 Cyclone Advantage. I must say, they are both absolutely incredible rods. Particularly the Bearing Down Type X. Gary at The Tackle Trap set me up with this rod and I have been blown away since the moment I held it in the store. I fish a lake with a lot of docks, and with this rod I can nearly double my skipping distance! The rod has such a subtle tip, yet has plenty of power to horse them out from under the docks! In the posting below this I will show a 6.22 pound largemouth that succumbed to the power of the Bearing Down Type X
The Bearing Down Type X is paired with a Megabass FX68 and the Cyclone Advantage is paired with a dolled up ITO 103M with a ZPI RC-001 spool.
Now, the gem shown below (and in the following post) is a reel that I have been trying to get my hands on for quite a while. I was presented with the opportunity to purchase this brand new in box Megabass IS63 Racing Illusion. These pictures do not do this reel justice. It is stunning in person. I will also show some pictures of it next to its fellow limited color IS brethren.
Thanks for looking and stay tuned for the post below of more photos!

That's some fine tackle porn. I like how you rest your gear on towels too. When I see rods/reels resting on concrete/blacktop, it makes me throw up in my mouth a bit
Re: The elusive one has been captured...
Wow! Great stuff.
Was going to post my line-up but that act is way too tough to follow so I think I'll pass!
Again!

Amazing David, truly an enthusiast level group of items you have there
I'm glad you're enjoying the X7 rods as well. That Bearing Down X7 is such an incredible and unique rod, sounds like you have it dialed in from the start!
