Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Terrible, especially with these rods being up to $495 on the site.

Re: Exceeding rod lure weight rating

It depends on the rod to be honest. Some rods are too generous or conservative with the ratings. Disclosing the specific rod may help. If it's a high end rod, I'd stay within range. I have a 3/8 to 3oz rod that I can throw 6oz baits on. I also have some rods rated higher or within a range that I'd o...

Re: “Finesse” flipping jigs

Bitsy flip was a huge disappointment. Every other I ordered came with weed guard not long enough and was promptly consumed by submerged wood. Those beast coast lil magnums look very promising. I also ordered some z man power finesse, but have not had time to fish em yet. I bought another Bitsy Flip...

I like blank talk, I like the name, I need a short rod for cover scat and close quarters/tight area bank fishing.

Re: Deps sidewinder Dom Driver

Thanks cal. I didn’t know the rod weighed in at 270g. I know a few people toss the Deps 250 on it. I’m pretty much stuck between the Dom driver and the leviathan omega xh I use the Leviathan XH. Rod works well, it's well balanced so it feels light in hand to me and its half the price. It can sling ...

Re: Daiwa BLX

For some reason my post would not go thru. I love the look of these rods, but I notice the cork looks fried on a lot of the Japanese anglers YouTube channels on their Black Label rods. I assume u-40 would help this, but it looks bad after a while and the filler falls out. I remember they were on clo...

Re: Kistler Swimbait Rod

I saw "KISTLER KC8 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray-High Modulus".

I find it hard to buy one of these at full price when you can get a Leviathan Omega built on an NFC in whatever power you want for about the same price with a 20% discount.
