babates3, how's the action/sensitivity on the new one compared to the old? I haven’t fished it enough to comment on sensitivity and how they compare. I need a lot more time to give a decent review. Action and power are similar see back a few posts where I put them on a deflection chart to compare a...

The 79 H weighs: 4.6 oz

so it is lighter than the original bottom contact (5.3oz) and Megabass Wildbunch (5.1oz)

I want to say the 73mh was 3.8 oz

Anyone got a weight for either a 873 or 894/895?

Tough decision. I have the P5 Xbites and love it. Debating on a 21 Steez rod or another P5 for jig skipping… I’ll have the 69 mh tomorrow I have a feeling it’s going to be great and one I’m most looking forward to. Overall to me I prefer the Steez over the p5’s More versatile, longer lengths and mo...
