What is going on over at TD? I've been a customer for years and spend mucho dinero with them without any problems, but it seems that for the last few weeks their service has hit rock bottom. No one picks up the phone. No one returns calls. Items listed as "in stock" are not. Yelp and other review si...

Thank you. Here’s a dumb question. What do you mean by “snipe?” I’ve heard it a few times and I get the feeling it’s being used in a way I’m not familiar with. Some places offer a service to buy you the rod you want from a place that does not ship and send it to you. They have the shipping figured ...

Have you looked at the Megabass T.S. 711 Black Jack? Its rated from 1/2 to 4 oz, has a long handle for two handed casting big baits, and I've fished 3 oz baits on the rod and it has power to spare. As far as the differences between musky and swim bait rods, much like the T.S. series, the musky rods...

In my quest for that perfect 8ft. rod to launch 1-4 oz. baits, a member here suggested I look at some musky rods also. I never considered that, but after looking at some I'm considering their potential. For those of you in the know, what are some basic differences between a swimbait and musky rod?

Hello Aqua... The order for the Monstruo 710 from Lure & Boats Backlash fell through. I don’t think they have it stock. You mentioned you may have a few contacts? [/quote] Hey Rev, I'll send you a PM later today, might have to go the snipe route if you really want that rod. Bad news about Backlash,...

I'd be looking at the st croix musky rods , that's what a lot of guys use for throwing flairhawks and swimbaits for snook down here in Florida. I use a Vexan Inshore 8'6 1-4 oz spinning rod , with a Spheros sw 6000.

Hello johnD
How is the action on the Musky rod different than their swimbait rod?

Could only find that rod in Asia. Are you familiar with the Megabass Black Jack? Tackle Trap has the TS711X at 20% off... I wouldnt suggest a rod with a bunch of anodized aluminum bits and pieces if your fishing saltwater. Both of those rods have as much style as they do substance. Think more Mike ...

So Lure & Boat Backlash out of Japan just refunded me my money for the rod I ordered. That’s it. No communication other than the refund. I’m assuming that though they had it listed on their website they were out of stock. So now the search continues for the Monstro 710.

Well thanks to you guys I ordered a Tulala Monstruo 710 last week. Now I wait... hopefully the online store (Lure & Boat Backlash), that I purchased it from is not a scam... I'll keep you posted...

So I got this JDM model which is sweet for sure. Only problem is that the manual is in Japanese. Shimano North America does not have the english manuals available. Yes, strange I know. So what to do? I'm trying to access the brakes, but cannot remove the black cover over them. I can get the side pla...

Let’s see if this link works.

Nice catch! I went ahead and ordered the Conquest 400 from Digitaka. I got it yesterday. Fast shipping and very nice reel. I also ordered the Tulala Monstruo 710 from Lure & Boats Boat Backlash. They send me an email saying shipping would be extra on the oversized road. That was last week. I’m still...

Pic will have to wait til later as I cannot resize it on my phone...
