I was hoping for a comparison to the old Zillion, but I guess that doesn't help us going forward. I not feeling the love for the TWS, if this is the platform.

Since this is a 3 part review and you mention mounting reel on one of your 2 Destructions, I'm looking forward to the on the water comparison. I haven't decided if I will purchase the Zillon TWS yet, but have bought some MB Zillons and am looking to purchasing a J Dream or two. Maybe you review will...

These rod are the best looking rods Gloomis is offering right now. Love the full cork grips, the lime green highlights wouldn't be my choice, but are that bad. Some full cork grips on the NRX like on the 916C would rock.

Check with The Tackle Trap, they carry a lot of Daiwa parts, between Brian and Gary, they got you covered.

Thanks Bantam

I love topwater and have been using poppers mostly with some walkthedog baits thrown in there. After reading back into the forum I decided to try the Jackall binksy and pompadour, plus the deps buzzjets. Got them in this winter so haven't had a chance to fish them. I have played with them and I am m...

Thanks for the review. I bought several of these and some 10Xs and they are so much larger. Going to throw the LC Mags on my swimbait rod and they're going in the swim bait box. Looking forward to trying them this summer.

As gofast boats they have efficient hulls and get great fuel mileage. I have a 2007 that doesn't have a stress crack on it.

I had similar problems with my PT 33's when they got old. Good cleaning fixed them for a while. This worked but if I had it to do all over again, would replace the spring while I had it apart. Call Tackle Trap, they will get you the part. If you haven't upgraded the bearing and drag you need to. O/S...

I don't think the right hand 7.1:1 has brass gears, can some one confirm?

The Megabass Zonda has a deep, flat spool, but you will have to luck upon one, as I did.They aren't sold as a stand-alone part from MB. I have mine in an Alphas Finesse Custom and I absolutely love it! \:D/ Thanks hoohoorjoo, e_bassfisher told me the same thing. I think I would have a better change...

Is there a deep or flat spool that fits the Alpha/Sol platform? I really want to use one of my Sols for cranking.

I looked at this rod a The Tackle Trap a week ago, and almost brought it home with me. My wife doen't know about the Super Rekkai yet

Big fans indeed, looks like an outstanding multipurpose strick. Of all The XX rods this was the one I was most interested. Look forward to the remaining reviews on these rods. Very good review, thanks.
