My current favorite MB rod is the Javelin. So much so that I could not resist and bought two more since the prices were so good :D Regards, Doc Funny that you mention the Javelin. I remember researching a couple of years ago about which MB rod was most similar to my Nautilus mentioned above. The co...

This is a great thread. Such an interesting read. Glad it was bumped back to the top of the board.

Without a doubt my favorite MB rod is the Phase 3 Nautilus. Such a unique, versatile, sensitive rod. Seems like no matter what I fish with it the rod handles it very well!!

I hope to get a little more time with my PU 172H in the next few weeks. I intend to drag a 1/2 oz football head jig with it. My only technique so far with that rod is my “mag-shakey head” rig…..1/4 oz football shakey with Diawa Fat Neko (I haven’t weighed the worm but it is at least as heavy as the ...

I only have limited time on my PU 172H that I got last year. I am planning on taking it out next week in my kayak. So far, I am extremely and thoroughly impressed any time I fish it. Absolutely my most sensitive rod (NRX, X7, Luxe Oltre, Steez Bottom Contact, z-bone, etc). I like it so much (even i...

I actually got a bote lono aero with apex pedal drive. However I went out today to set it up and I'm not a fan of the amount of work and time the inflatable takes. Going to return it and probably get a native propel series yak. Which conveniently they make a cart specifically for that series. So I ...

So far it has been my jerkbait rod for these cold fronts in the midwest. It casts 110s really well, I love how sensitive it is and not to whimpy even when working the vision 110.

That is good to know. I would have thought a 110 might have been a little too much based on the ratings.

Run, run away while you still can!!! :D Seriously, congrats on the purchase. There is nothing like the joy of a high end combo. Just a warning…it can be addictive (and expensive)!! In 2004 or ‘05 I found this site as I was getting back into fishing pretty seriously. I convinced myself to buy an orig...

Thank you everyone! i think the 2015 version with the purple accents will pair nicely with my 8.0 ct steez which also has purple details on the reel. Should be a great combo! What techniques do you guys use the Super Eiger for (besides the 4” senko mentioned above)? I assume it could handle shakey ...

The Dirty Jigs jig heads are very popular around here. I really like Picasso products as well.

If you are not fishing tournaments (or heck, even if you are) just take the extra 5 seconds to put a reel cover on it before putting it on the deck. I’m sure it is boat rash that starts the issue. I have three of them and love those reels. But I don’t fish tournaments.

I have borrowed a kayak and fished a few times and I am excited to have just bought my own. I have taken 3 rods in the past, and I think I will carry 3-5 on my new rig. Obviously, versatility is key.

I’ll send you a list of what to pick up for me!!

Wow!!! Very nice work on the Conquest!!!
