Re: P5 ZCE versatility

Yea that's the other p5 I have considered. I thought the jerk bait special was too stiff for trebles but a pretty good snake rod I like the JDM P5 OneTen Stick better than the US P5 OneTen Special for the Vision 110 specifically. I understand the "Japan Style" vs "US Style" jerk bait rod thing, and...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.

I am getting sick of "new" reels coming out on outdated platforms. Yes the tech does change but still

At least the new Steez is a new platform-the 2016 one had been around for way too long. Beyond me how that 2013 Met platform and chronarch platform are still being sold 10 years later.

New Curado 70

Are we going to see a new Curado 70 this year? I am seeing them on sale for 180 in a lot of places. Personally I was never interested in buying a 70K over a JDM met at basically the same cost, but curious to see what a new 70 platform would look like, since the 70K is still off of the Curado I platf...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.

I had one, but after messing around with it in the yard I returned it.

For another 50 bucks, I would rather just get a Curado that is more refined and will hold up a lot longer.

Re: 2024 Metanium DC

$353 on digital-not a bad price for sure.

With the small spool, I think it would be a fun reel for a medium rod

Re: NRX + Inshore casting

In saltwater almost everyone goes braid to leader, so I can't imagine that they would put recoil guides on these.

Does anyone know how the 842 compares the the 842 MBR version in action?

USDM Metanium spool

Does anyone know where I can order a USDM Metanium spool? I would like to try my JDM Met for frogging, and want to up the capacity of the spool to hold the braid.

Re: P5 ZCE versatility

I'm looking for an all around medium rod for a variety of techniques, primarily like a senko, small plastics, small keitech, some poppers, etc. I would like a rod that has similar action to a Robyn's 703 but higher end. Will the ZCE be a good all around medium choice? I know people say it's a trebl...

Re: P5 ZCE versatility

How does clx/conquest/nrx 842C compare? I don't own or use any of the current Loomis 842 models, but the Loomis MBR 842 is a versatile medium power rod. I used to really enjoy the old GLX version I had. The current models NRX/Conquest both feel like very nice rods and I'm sure they fish similarly t...

Re: P5 ZCE versatility

The P5 Z-Crank Elseil is not what I'd consider an all purpose rod. It is a fantastic treble hook moving bait rod with a nice deep flex in a light, crisp package. You're wanting to throw a 5" Senko, small Keitech swim baits, and poppers on a MH all purpose type rod, but the ZCE is F3.5 (Megabass Med...

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?

Champion and champion extreme are most overrated for me-no where near as good as an expired or Orochi
