So in one picture, it shows the rod as an ES70MF. Is that the spinning model? Also, in another picture, you can barely see the 6-12 rating. Was the casting or spinning rod reviewed or were both or was it a custom? Sorry for any confusion but I am looking into the 7' casting model and wanted to be s...

Hi, checking the specs and you list line wt. at 8-16, and the lure wt. 3/16 - 5/8. These specs match the spinning rod specs. TW lists the 7'2" MH at 12-20 line wt. and 3/8 - 1oz. lure wt. Will the 7-2 MH throw a 3/16 bait easily? Just a bit confused. I have the MH. I don't think it would cast ...

If it has the same light tip as the NRX 852c, there may be an NRX 852c for sale.

I put my whole hand over the reel. All of my fingers are in front of the trigger for the most part. Depends on the rod.

I wish it had the flip hood like the T3. It would have a lower profile and you can instantly engage the spool. The cool factor is a plus too.

I feel the review was a bit skewed. He kept comparing it to the TDZ. Yeah, they do share the zillion name but they are completely different reels. I think it would have got a better score if it was called something else.

I fished with the exact model reviewed bt TT. It is light and very sensitive. It can handle weights a tad lower than the 1/4 oz its rated for. I feel the rod isn't as forgiving on the other side of the spectrum. 5/8 oz is really pushing the rod. I use 3/16 oz jigs and weightless plastics and its fin...
