I have both they are really do it all rods. The 7'2" is more of a mh than a heavy power

Andrea 7'2" h is good with walking baits or ones with bigger trebles

I have both. And both are great casters but the antares is more refined.

Keitech, bass patrol and bitsy bugs. The eco pro, Molex and missile ike min flip for heavier cover.

Even with the heavy antares 70 the 894 will be tip heavy. I have a nrx 843 with the antares and still have to put a but cap on the 843 to get the balance where i like it

Yes on my 843, 893, 873. But not on my 802. I even have one on my z bone

Direct through shimano just print the PayPal receipt

Was it a auction or from a legit seller? I bought one from sheltons outdoors on ebay and got the warranty on a red cumara

Probably because of breakage issues

Anyone have the 802? What are you using it for?

I feel its a little stiff but have not tried it for jerkbaits yet. I hear guys say they like the stiffer rods for the +1 and deeper jerkbaits

Easy for me i would buy a new jdm bantam mgl from asian fishing portal or spend 50$ more and get the 2020 metainum mgl

Glx 842 alde 50hg and h3 7' m alphas 105 sv

Great now i have to have a jdm model

Its just a bad addiction in my honest opinion. I could use 200$ combos and catch just as many but the high-end gear makes all those casts in between bites more enjoyable. I went from duckett rods and e series shimanos a few years ago to nrx's , z bone, glx, mb xx rods and adrena's with top end shima...
