Re: Forget NRX or K2..Your favorite 'classic' rod?

Just picked up a wiebe reel seat glx 782 on eBay, put a classic ch50 on it. Perfect match, balance right at the reel seat. Building up a nice usable classic road collection with that and my classic kistler 69apc and glx 803c. I instantly realized why I dislike the Loomis rods sans wiebe, they don't ...

I also have an 803 I use on the regular. Bought and sold that rod three times over. Keeping this one.

Forget NRX or K2..Your favorite 'classic' rod?

783c glx with weibe is a given with anyone who's fished it but anything besides? I own and use an original Kistler all purpose special.

Re: Best dropshot rig...in the world?

No contest...NRX 852S with a Sustain 2500 FG. I have an NRX 852S paired with a certate 2506H and also feel the blank is too stiff for drop shotting. Im also looking for a dedicated DS rod but not going to spend anymore than $350. So far ive narrowed it down to Dobyns extreme hp, phenix ultra MBX cl...

Re: Best dropshot rig...in the world?

Ouch! Now that's just mean. I also appreciate when people take the time to post as many details as possible. Why would you question someone's integrity after he took the time to post an answer to the question you asked? :shock: Not once did I post anything to that effect. If anything it's complimen...

No idea, I appreciate when people tell me why they like something in detail.
Well if he's not being paid by them, he should be after that display. Contact their sales rep and sell them that presentation.

Re: Best dropshot rig...in the world?

Not sure if it's the best in the world. But nothing in the conventional dropshot market piqued my interest. As i wanted a longer rod. Took a shot at a couple Tailwalk Taigame TZ rods. Very light. Very sensitive solid tip. The best of the best components. Great joint with carbon fiber joint wraps. F...

Re: Best dropshot rig...in the world?

OK, so I'm not alone in loathing dropshot. I do own a NRX 852 spin as my only top of the line spinning setup but I don't like it for dropshot. The tip is too stiff and I end up moving the rig instead of jiggling it. It works awesome for senko and flukes though but those two techniques work on many r...

Best dropshot rig...in the world?

I'll admit it here: I hate dropshot fishing with a passion. Just something about the odd rod twitchin' and lack of covering water feels like a waste of time and drives me crazy and the smallish fish I catch using this style make it all not worthwhile to me. But it may be I've never had a proper rig ...
