Re: Metanium shallow edition, who plans to get one?

I was very interested in this reel until I found out it had aluminum gears.

New rod releases

Why do fishing gear companies release new products later in the season and into fall? Late winter to spring would be the best times to have new products released and ready for purchase. I saw the new Shimano Expride will not be out until 9/24. At least on TW. Not looking to purchase that rod it just...

Re: Evergreen Black Raven Extreme

Is paying duties a crap shoot? Or since they declare value and the size of the package up the odds of it happening?

Re: Evergreen Black Raven Extreme

JDMtackleheaven shows it is in stock :shock: . I have everything in my cart but what I am seeing is no insurance is offered. All the way from Japan and no insurance on a rod is risky.

Re: Evergreen Black Raven Extreme

I am seriously contemplating getting this rod. I am so confused on how to get it. Every Japan fishing site shows no stock. Is this impossible to get now? Did I miss out? Does anyone in the US get these in? Lots of questions but this is my first ultra high end rod purchase.

Re: JDM bottom contact rod

I mentioned Evergreen in the first reply. I’d consider the Rapid Gunner the top bottom contact option from Evergreen. Action-wise the Rapid Gunner is an extra-fast and the Super Stallion is more medium-fast to fast. The power of both rods and ratings are almost identical but the choice between thos...

Re: MB Destroyer Javelin vs Poison Adrena MH

The Javelin rod is a very versatile rod. I have had mine for two seasons. There are not many techniques you cannot use it for.

Re: JDM bottom contact rod

Thanks fellas. You have added rods I was not even aware of. I live in Michigan so I have time to dial in my decision. So please if anyone has any more intel please share it. I can not imagine I am the only one interested in this topic. I am surprised not to hear anything about Evergreen yet. I have ...

Re: JDM bottom contact rod

Thanks so far guys. I am on research over load. I have read just about every post about JDM rods available via searching forums hoping to expand my knowledge and all it really has done is confuse me more. The most I would throw on it would be 3/4 oz. jig and t rigs. Some of these rods have specs up ...

JDM bottom contact rod

Over the last few years I have progressively improved my gear to the point I am now knocking on the JDM door. This leads to my subject line. What is the bees knees of the JDM world for bottom contact? What models should I be chasing down? Evergreen rods seem promising but then I came across Luxxe, S...

Re: Shimano Exsence vs Daiwa Certate LT

I recently bought the Exsence. I have been very pleased with it. The 2019 Certate does look good and it is cheaper. This guy in the videos below reviews reels and does a nice job.

I think it is time for a visual upgrade and a guide train update. The blank is awesome.
