Megabass F4-71T Tomahawk 2021?

In the never ending quest for a very nice Squarebill rod I see these are on preorder. My question is the F4 power rating. I have 6’10” St Croix Legend Glass and while I really like it the better mouse trap is out there I know it. I have the medium heavy version and was curious if the F4 might be clo...

Re: St Croix Legend Glass

I bought the 6’10” MH and like it so far. I’ve only caught a couple of fish on it. I have a Revo Winch on it but have gotten spoiled to the ALX sized reel for fishing moving style baits. I’m going to order a Lews MB in 5:6.1 and try it out. I’ll change out the handle and the knobs. I’ll also give it...

Re: Chatterbait rod

I have been using the Gloomis E6x Inshore 7’ MH Fast 20lb Sunline FC Sniper with ABU ALX. One of my very first Chatterbait fish was 4.8lbs. I tried a softer rod couldn’t stand the lack of feel if you know what I mean.

Re: Abu Garcia Revo Rocket

Great reel. I have one that I fish Redfish with. It's not a Rocket per say anymore because I changed the gear's in it to 6.4:1 while I was changing that I added a set of Hedge Hog Studio Kattobi ZHI spool bearings removed the magnets and tuned the drag. On yesterday evening's fishing trip I caught a...

Re: Baitcasting reel

Buy one of TD Advantage versions excellent reels for the price. The base Advantage is $99.99 and the Super Tuned HST is $139.95 can't go wrong with either.

Re: Fuego, Alpha, or Zillion

You guys are so wrong about what an Alpha can or can't handle. I fished bass 20 years ago and now fish strictly saltwater mainly Redfish and there's no Bass I ever caught that could out pull a Redfish and I've caught a 10 1/2 lb Redfish with 20 lb braid on my Alpha and had no problems landing that f...

Re: casting with a TDz type R+....

This is what they say at Japan Tackle. This 2002 Type-R and 2003 TD-ito reels have the same keenest casting performance among tuned TD-Z. These have the least brake force at slow - mid speed range to cast longer, and smoother. 2004 Type-R+ has more brake force, at the middle of stock TD-Z and this 2...
