Site sponsor Japan Tackle has (or at least had) these handles in a couple flavors for those who were looking not to pay auction mark ups

I have a 2019 Kistler zbone 7'10H that is very very good for intended application. I'd say the rod is a more moderate action but to me it fishes like a fast action- feels similar to my NRX 894 with a bit longer and a bit stronger. bought it to punch but have been fishing it with heavy t-rigs as the...

Ima suspending vibe 70. Slow fall suspends rather than crashing to the bottom like a rock. Deadly. Nuff said. Still haven't managed to catch anything on this one. Great lure though. I’d suggest to keep throwing it. I like sexy minnow color. I rip through shallow grass and it gets crushed on pauses ...

Does anyone know where these Armada rods with fit in? I’m not sure if it’s by Designo or another maker using Designo blanks? I think Aquaftm mentioned Randoule (sp?) as the new top of the line by Designo. So would these be considered more entry level? Still not cheap by any means. Can’t find much o...

I think I found the right reel to pair this with. Gonna take it out on Monday to fish. sd1.jpg High-res: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uli9iyrri2n811p/sd1.png?dl=0 sd2.jpg High-res: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2e21q9u92vhrv8x/sd2.png?dl=0 sd3.jpg High-res: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2wjdzyodxeh8i2/sd3.pn...

That OG has a slant; don’t think it shows up in the pic.

Here’s a wrench thrown at those suggestions. I think that legend 30th WP is screaming for the 8.6 morethan. Some informative threads on that one on here.

I have recently leveled mine up a bit for my swimbait game. Morethan necessary? Absolutely. WOW What a beast!!!! I'm looking for swimbait reel also but morethan it's maybe too fast, other options I'm considering are Antares DC MD (also seems too fast) or Ryoga SLPW... I don't know if morethan 7.1 w...

It's all good man, you know I am the jokester around here, all in good fun. That Conquest DC is on my "to do" list, but I have to let the dust settle from the Steez RD I just bought, more like sandstorm.. Sorry for the hijack. So which RD did you get? No worries Polk. I am the OG OP of this thread....

Sweet rod Dom. Thanks for showing those tapers too.

Thanks man! I’m surprised you don’t have one yet.

I have to say I’m kind of in the same boat as Aqua. I’ve been a little tear and need to simmer down a short bit.

I was waiting for what the other surprises were... :roll: :lol: Sorry to disappoint buddy. Actually one of the rods I ordered wasn’t available yet due to limited stock and he isn’t sure when it will show up. I didn’t feel like waiting til he got word so I just had him ship me two Vigore 71H. It is ...

I know a lot of people are curious about the 71H. I have one one the way with a few other surprises. I’ll post some info next week.
