Re: Steez AGS 76mml old vs new

To me the new 7-6 has more of a medium power feel to it. I need some time on the water with it though. The cork very nice on mine. There is some filler but not anymore than a Megabass Destroyer. I just seal it with U40 but the cork did not concern me at all. Just glad they have a cork steez now :) ...

Re: Were the newer Megabass Orochi XX and XXX a failure?

Back in the day, the Destroyer Orochi XX ... Small correction... Destroyer and Orochi are two separate lines. There is no "Destroyer Orochi" ;) So are the X4's part of the orochi Line or destroyer line? I was looking at a few and in the pictures they all say destroyer above orochi x4 (the word dest...

Re: Steez AGS 76mml old vs new

I have both but not a lot of time on the water to compare. Neither one is getting sold. The blue/black version seems more geared toward finesse and is super versatile. The new versions is similar but in my opinion has more power. Love the grip on both but prefer the cork version. ML/M rods are my f...

Steez AGS 76mml old vs new

Those of you that have owned both, did you keep both or sell one? Would you say the new version is a lot more sensitive or are they pretty close? Is the newer version a good all around rod or is the old version a better all around rod with the slower taper?

Thank you

Re: Bottom Contact rods 1 vs. 2 vs Efreet

Do you feel the BC2 is more sensitive than the BC1 or are they pretty close? It’s so close to me but I’d have to give the edge to the BC2 and I’m hesitant to say that because I think it’s only an perceived choice because it’s lighter in weight. Just my little cents though Thanks. I've got the BC1 a...

Megabass zonda magnets

I was just curious if anyone knows if all zonda magnets are the same (stronger than alphas). Or are the hedgehog zonda magnets different from the rest of the zondas?

Thanks

Re: Pixy vs alphas bfs reel

What was the outcome of this thread Buy both! That's always the answer though isn't it? Lol I could be wrong but I believe most people said the newer bfs specific reels (alphas air, alphas ASC, and now the alphas air tw, gekkabijin air tw pe special or new ASC would probably be best) were better fo...

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22

Just had to check what I have in my HL and XHL Zillions 😀 Both have a ZPI NRC001-M at the moment and I can therefore say that all I have used in them has been the ZPI and some DIY. In the Zillions I much prefer ZPI over DIY including Roro. I will try KTF in 2022. I purchased many ZPI spools especia...

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22

The reel is now on digitaka (45.000 jpy) and amazon in Japan and on more sites. I am divided on this one. I have two of the latest Morethans and two recent Zillions… I normally install ZPI/KTF spools and therefore not sure if anything is gained by getting the new Zillion (although pretty 😊) Have yo...

Re: BEST reel for weightless fluke

Ok so this thread inspired me to do some testing and fishing with a weightless super fluke on a gamakatsu 3.0 hook. I have 3 setups I used from my arsenal Old Tatula Type R with Ray's Long Cast spool with 12# flouro on a 72M Zodias gen 1. A Casitas MGL with 20# braid on a Obei 6'6" ML Alphas SV wit...

They had them on digitaka very early yesterday morning. I was about to buy one but changed my mind. Hopefully they'll get more soon.
