Wasn't bad enough to add weight, 985 how that's a different story.

Got my IP 68 on my PV, also. Great combo. Lower gear for moving baits and more power for frogs in heavy cover.

I love mine, use mainly from frogs. Like it for 1-3 oz moving baits and topwaters.

I was 16 or so and with the 10.00 subscription they gave you a pretty decent package of California hand pours. It wasn't quite a magazine, it was more like a 20 ish page newsletter that ca...

I've sold a bunch of good stuff in the last few years and it hurts so bad. I really like what I have left, wouldn't change a thing right now.

After looking at montey's post today I looked back over the posts today and remembered when I purchased my first NRX's. probability one of the best and worst high end rod ever. Pages of posts. I bought quit a few of them and I was happy with each one. I checked out each one for pour built and all lo...

All my SV spool reels are reserved for guest rods.

Not such I have the name right, LC 80 hump back.

Not happy with the direction Daiwa is headed.
