Re: Midstrolling
I keep two rods rigged for strolling, An MB P5 Whippet and an MB P5 Kirasame which is solid tipped. One for the hover and one for the mid. Still experimenting with each for the different techniques. I tend to just hit my spot lock and fire away, neither rod is used in current.

Re: Thoughts on high end bfs?
I made the move from spinning gear to BFS casting gear last season and I enjoy fishing with BFS gear far more than I ever enjoyed using spinning gear, despite having plenty of high end JDM fishing tackle options such as Daiwa Steez Type 2, four generations of Stella spinning reels, and a plethora o...

Re: Who do you fish with the Most ?
My wife is my #1 fishing partner now. When we first started dating years ago this wasn't the case, she did not care to fish after spending her summers at sea on her grandparents commercial fishing boat. Fishing for fun has changed her outlook and she will go with me anytime she can.

Re: 2024 2 pcs X10 and additional models of P5 destroyer
Hover strolling BFS rod with it's stinger tip perhaps, sign me up. From what I read you don't want a solid tip for shaking or rolling action (what we call hover strolling here) rods - that's for dampening movement of your lure through debris/grass etc. Rather you want a springy tubular tip with som...

It looks like smallmouth killer \:D/ I might finally give in and buy a Megabass. Hover strolling BFS rod with ...

Re: Major Craft Issue
Their CS made me whole a few years ago when I had one of their SPJ rods explode on a lingcod. Took about a month once everything was processed. Odd. Every time I've purchased a rod it got shipped within 2 days. And my emails got replies within a day or two too. Granted it's been over a year since I...

Still having a hard time wrapping my head around not having a factory drag clicker in this day and age, I refuse to add a Chinese manufactured part to a JDM masterpiece.

Re: 24 Daiwa Airtiy SF Lightest reel From Daiwa ever
Big Airity fan here, just ordered a 2nd 2500 for an MB Kirasame ST that's incoming soon. These reels check all the boxes for me when it comes to finesse. Looks like I will have a few more options to consider for my 3rd.

Re: Ultra Finesse Light Spinning
Just ordered a p5 F1st-66XS Kirisame to add to the mix. I wanted to try a solid tip rod as an option for different hovering and strolling techniques. We shall see in a few weeks if I made the right call.

Re: Ultra Finesse Light Spinning
I have the p5 Whippet with a 23 Airity 2500 as my hover setup. Always rigged in the boat, it's a great dedicated combo for the yen. Cosmetics are a perfect match if that means anything to you along with great balance.
