hello bwjay im also wanting to try this reel if you dont mind me asking who has a sale or deal on these that you know of? im wanting to do a comparison on this reel and the dawia certate lt which i own already.

i really adore a great cork handle but i dont hate the latter such as good eva and i thought i would hate the monocoque stuff but its actually pretty good also.

nothing super exotic or high end but i fished a tx last april with a buddy and being the non boat owner for this one i brought 6 rods most spinning because of the smallmouth we were targeting. Anyway it was a 150 boat field and it was pretty rough running to our spot i had my rods strapped down with...

nice line up obz !

for sure 1/2 is in the wheelhouse so is 3/4

russ has a good point i forgot to mention the bantam is smaller than the curado k even with my big hands i like the way the bantam palms better. Russ i have used the 7'6 expride i dont like walking frogs on longer rods but have used it for just pulling them on top of grass mats before. the 7'6 expri...

thanks a lot guys they have a bunch of baits i want at a good price and just wanted to make sure it was legit. I appreciate the feedback. those shimano bantam cranks look really good so does jdm daiwa baits like the lipless baits they have.

im a huge bantam mgl fan and its one of my favorite reels on the market today from shimano. I have fished mine a lot since they came out and they still perform awesome. One of my bantams is used on a expride 7'2 hvy for smaller frog work around not so hvy cover and it has worked great. Bantams are g...

i bought a st croix legend elite 7 m fast action casting rod for using light texas rigs and small jigs with but it was just a tad too soft for my liking i was going to sell it. One day i used it for small keitechs and underspins and it was awesome for that. I ended up getting another lol. I use it f...

i had the steez a for a bit and it was a great reel for the time i owned it and the compatibility with other spools is a nice touch. I really like the bantam though it took me a while to get used to the weight of the reel from not owning a heavyish reel for a while but man i really fell in love with...

thank you ny bassin.

hey guys sorry i know this does not pertain to reels but i was wondering if this is a reputable site to order from. i have used digitaka and japan lure shop before but there are some baits i want on asian portal fishing and wanted to see your guys first hand experience with ordering items from them....

yeah im in the market for the 7'4 hvy as well im thinking it was lagging behind when the other models came out because it never showed it in stock at all. from the ratings alone it should be more powerful than the 7'2 hvy i would think.

i know the nrx 852s and 852 are the same blank. This doesnt mean the conquest blanks and glx blanks are the same but i would think so.

the nrx 852 has a faster tip for sure and in my hands is more sensitive. I have two of the legend elite 7 m action casting rods and 1 spinning 7 m and like stated above they have a softer tip and more parabolic bend in the rod once loaded. I really like the 7 m casting rod its one of my favorites in...
