I use CXX for everything but deep jigs and T-Rigs, then I use Seaguar Invisx Flourocarbon. It has quite a bit of stretch to it but it has never bothered me. Abrasion resistance is one of the strong points with this line. I have also never had a problem with its sensitivity, though like I said, I rea...

Ah-ha, I buy locally so I wouldn't know.......I checked Ebay for the Premier and saw it going for $200 NIB.....once again, not really near the door of an MG7, unless $70-80 is pocket change to you.

I havent used one of their Spinnerbait rods, so I cant help you there. Have you thought about a Shimano Crucial? They are good rods and they make a 6'6'' M that looks pretty good. It is made with their TC4, which is for cranking or spinnerbaiting. It also has similar ratings to the 6'3'' Loomis........

Although the new Curado 200s are big reels, they have never once felt too big OR uncomfortable to me. I bet they would sell a lot more of them if they were a little smaller though.

Loomis 783c?

They do look like very nice little reels...but for their price($250ish), you're knocking on the door of a Metanium Mg7...and it'd be real hard for me to choose the Premier over an Mg7..considering their both lightweight baitcasters with heavy-duty gearing, etc. Just my thoughts.. Justin Aren't the ...

They look good and I have used them, but there are superior jigs for less cash....IMO.....

I haven't used a Core but the 50MG works great for the lures you mentioned......The Calais 100A would be my first recommendation if you can swing that price..

Those look tasty, I've always wanted to try an LT, now I think I will. Anyone know when they will start being stocked in stores?

I would also go with an older Fiberglass boat. You could get an 18-20 footer for a good price and I think you'd like it alot better than a Tracker....Also, Tritons didn't come along until 1998 I believe

CXX owns Siege

I'd like to see a review on the new FENWICK ELITE TECH, or even the Techna AV's.

I have that rod and reel......makes an excellent combo, but I actually prefer a Curado 200B on that rod because I use bigger line on jigs and prefer the line cap. and stronger feel of the 200B......but you'd be quite pleased with the 50Mg and the 854.

Although I use several split gripped rods, I prefer full grip. Split grips really just dont do a thing for me because I dont buy rods to look cool; like some others. For me, the perfect rod is built like a Kistler Helium LTA: full rear grip, no foregrip. I plan on custom ordering a Kistler Helium II...

The rod diameter of the Kistler LTA near the tip was much bigger then I'd expected when I purchased last Winter. Bigger then any of the 20 rods /7 brands I own. I haven't noticed that with the 12 Kistlers I have....What model are you talking about? Mine are all on par with every other brand rod I o...
