Re: Jerkbait rod

I'm a jerkbait fishing nut. The Megabass Valkyrie 6-11 spinner is the best one I have ever fished. I sold it to try something else and that was a huge mistake. 842C or 842S is a close second. I know the 6-10 expride caster is popular too but if you fish the valkyrie you will not put it down. It has ...

Re: Daiwa Kage walleye 761MLXS

I have talked with tackle trap on that rod and heard it was a great model. I fished the 7-6 ML and 7-1 ML in the tatula line which is very similar and they are very sensitive rods. You'll like it.

Re: Shimano Expride Thoughts??

I appreciate the reply. I don't understand that either. I have also heard the new exprides are more powerful so now I have no clue what a ML will feel like.

Re: Fitting a Steez 761 in my Lineup

What size reels are you guys fishing on the 7'-6" rod? I have a 3000 on one but thinking a deep 2500 would work too. Anyone throw a 2500 on one?

Re: Shimano Expride Thoughts??

Hey guys, can anyone compare the 7 M F and 7-2 ML F spinners. I want to use for jerkbaits and they seem very similar.

Re: Fitting a Steez 761 in my Lineup

Versatile is an understatement. I am probably going to go after another 7-6 compile as well. I want one for SW fishing in Florida too. Not sure how to describe it but it certainly can do all ML and M duties. I fished it with treble baits the other day and it was even killer for that.

Re: Fitting a Steez 761 in my Lineup

If you like the old 7-6 you will like the new one as well but it does have slightly more power. I would take the steez over any Dobyns offerings. I believe the new and old steez in 7-6 would cover all the applications you are looking for and then some. They are very versatile.

Re: New Luvias vs Certate

I have owned Luvias, tatula LT, Kage, and Ballistic LT MQ. I know its not the Certate but the Ballistic MQ is something to keep in mind too. Its a killer reel!

Re: Your Fishing Stories

"As I stood at the side of the river fishing, surrounded by beautiful woods and mountains, I couldn’t help but thank God for his presence in my life."

So cool! I have seen so many things fishing that have made me reflect on Jesus as well. Thank you for sharing!!

Re: Steez Ags Users... what is your favorite rods ...????

Just fished the 7-6 ML ' the one' last night and wow! I actually fished it in a technique most wouldn't....treble hook jerkbaits. It just bombs these baits and worked great! 25 nice fish landed on it yesterday. People need to experiment with this one and give it some time on the water. It will repla...

Re: G. Loomis GCX Lite - thoughts

Interested in these as well. Pretty high price point for what looks like a revamped e6x. Its hard to image these are better than avids but who knows. I can't say that until I fish one.

Re: What makes a good drop shot rod and which do you like?

I have the (2) AGS rods from Daiwa in both the blue and red. After reading about the K2 wanted to give that a try so just bought one and will have to get it on the water soon. I have fished drop shot on Destroyer Addermine, GLX 820S, Expride light plus, Daiwa BLX, and Legend Tourney in the past and ...
