Correct. The Curado 200E does actually have an aluminum drag star. I belive the 50E Curado and Chronarch both have plastic stars.

Trey, Nitroman77 on here has some talent at painting baits. His website has quite a few nice baits he has done. Maybe drop him a line and see what he can do.

Alphas to palm but the TDZ and core for the casting.

Great detailed insight on the Dobyns cranking rods! Should bookmark this sucker for future reference!

Personally feel that the EMTF is out of its comfort zone near or about 3/4 oz. This is a rod that a lot of folks like for senkos (3/8 oz total weight). I like it for jigs, texas rigs, weightless plastics, and chatterbaits. Again I am fishing no heavier than a 1/2 oz jig with say a RI beaver style tr...

Looks good to me, nice reel!

Shouldn't they be fishing with the "stormtrooper" customized and painted reels!

I would also vouch for the EMTF from the Orichi XX line. I have used the rod a ton. Probably my favorite rod for baits under 3/4 oz. Killer 1/2 oz jig rod or swim jig rod. Can throw chatter baits or spinnerbaits just fine. Also use it for weighted and unweighted texas rigged plastics. It casts well ...

Intrigued for sure! Looks like a very sharp looking and versatile rod for the price. Perhaps a good jerkbait casting rod model.

Very nice Keith! Thanks for the reply.

Nice! Which blank model is it in the K2 lineup?

NRX 873 CRR. Bought it as jig rod but do throw a C-rig on it occasionally as well.

Nice additions and the fleet as a whole looks outstanding!

Digging it, especially when on the Orochi XX line of rods. Nice setup!
