Re: Metanium MG vs. Antares AR

IMO, the Antares AR is a better reel in every way except weight. And it's not like the AR weighs 10 oz. It actually balances out better than a lighter reel on a lot of my set ups. The first day I received my mg, I tied a 3/8 oz casting plug on and started practice casting in the backyard. I was very...

Re: line suggestions

DR, You should give BPS XPS flourocarbon a try. I have used it for the past few years for everything but topwater. I have tried a lot of the top flourocarbons and it is my favorite. It did pretty well in the flourocarbon review. The 12lb test is perfect on the BCR803. I caught a 7lber this weekend a...

Re: "YOUR" One Favorite Reel

I can't decide. Here is my current top 5 in no particular order, Antares DC7, Conquest 100DC, Antares AR, Conquest 50, and Steez 100H. Close but not in the top 5 yet, Metanium MG7, Stella 2000, Pixy, Revo STX.

Re: My thoughts on the 7'1" steez and Loomis 7'1"

Hard to go wrong with the BCR's for fishing jigs and worms. People complain about the price, but I think they are fairly affordable compared to some of the other rods out there today. Especially if you get a good deal on ebay. Unfortunately, it is getting harder to find those deals. I don't know wha...

Re: Uh oh! Shimano user turned trader!!!

I've never tried either a TD-Z or an 07' Metanium Mg. I'm sure both are great reels....definitely 2 of the best ever made That's a pretty strong statement considering you have never tried either reel. The met mg is nice, but it is not 1 of the 2 best reels ever made. I can't commit on the TD-Z sinc...

Re: Need Help Finding A Worm Rod

St. Croix Legend Elite 6'6" MHF or a St Croix Avid 7'0 MHXF. You might also want to take a look at a Kistler Helium LTA 7'6" H. I don't know why your are ruling out Loomis. The BCR 803 GLX would be the best suggestion I could give you regardless of price.

Re: Help with rod choice

Based on your specs, I agree with the Kistler Helium 6'9" APC recommendation.

Re: steez 631mhfba vs steez 601mhfba vs gloomis MBR783C

Never used the steez rods. I currently have my antares dc paired with a loomis 843C GLX. I have also used it on a 783. I moved to the 7' rod to take better advantage of the casting distance of the reel.

Re: sx is worse then stx!

I returned my SX and replaced it with an STX. Much happier with casting performance overall.

Re: Daiwa Alphas 103: Braided line or monofile line???

I use braid on my alpha for inshore saltwater fishing (mainly redfish). I would go with flourocarbon if you are only fishing jerkbaits. I like a little stretch when fishing treble hook lures.

Re: DING DING!!! G Loomis vs St Croix

I have 6 Legend Elites and 8 GLX (6 BCR's and 2 MBR's) rods. I obviously love them both. The Legend Elites have nicer components. The BCR's are the best rods I have ever used for fishing plastics. You can not go wrong with either blank (LE or GLX).

Re: Help finding a football jig head.

Spiroh,

BTW, the best football head jig I've fished to date is the Jewel finesse 1/2 oz. with a Paca chunk and the rattles I referenced below. It does have a weedguard.
