The Keitech Swing Impact Fat is easily the best out there, but it's probably the priciest too. A few high quality knockoffs are out there.

You're all enablers. EMTF has been ordered.

I know. It's just like my wife asking the salesmen if she really needs another pair of shoes...

I can't comment on the Flatside, but I own the Champion 705CB (graphite version, not a fan of glass rods). I absolutely love my 705CB. That rod will literally handle any moving bait I throw with it (topwater, swim jigs, chatter/spinner baits, squarebills, mid depth cranks, rattle traps, jerkbaits, e...

I'm thinking about picking up an EMTF while the XX's are on clearance. I've already got a GLX 853C and an 803C and 854C in an IMX. So my question to you guys is do I need the EMTF, or is it going to pull the same duty as my other bottom contact rods? And as a follow up question, would an 852C give m...

I use mine for a frog reel. I get good distance and it handles quite well whenever skipping frogs under overhanging tree branches and docks.

That's what I was expecting but I wanted to make sure. I'm guessing you've already done a few of these Rock. I haven't taken the knobs off any of my K's yet.

Does anyone know what size bearing I need for the levelwind on a Curado K? Or better yet, is it the same size bearing that the Ch/Met MGL uses?

Thanks.

I haven't heard anything about this. Doesn't make it not true, but it's news to me.

I love this line. It and 832 are my go to braids.

Umm... They make a different rattle. That's it...

I'm looking for a new finesse jig rod (3/16, 1/4, 5/16oz) and I'm debating between the 853 and 854. Which do you GLoomis guys feel is best suited for this application?

My Zodias and Expride don't have hook keepers and it is rather annoying, but other than that I really like both of those rods. I make do by hooking onto my reel.

We had a tournament on Erie the weekend after KVD won with it. My tournament partner tried throwing it after I started catching them on a dropshot and he couldn't get bit. He proceeded to catch 3 drum while I kept sticking them on a drop shot.

As with most baits, results may vary by day/water.
