It's a little more fast action than I expected. I thinking would be a good topwater rod. Squrebills and probably lightnplastics as Mark mentioned

I've got one I need a gear set for. Don't see that model on Shimano website anymore, just the regular Core 100 with aluminum gear. Are these not available anymore? Or is Shimano out? Or was the MG7 and MGFV gears the same? And if not will another gear work? Also, pinion gear is the same as the regul...

I've had this situation a couple of times. Usually if you contact them they'll tell you it's not in stock but give an estimate on delivery to them. I've found most of the time they beat their estimate which makes great business sense. But they've always come through.

I broke my destroyer one ten first trip out, three casts in on a 12 inch fish. MB was excellent but I had to wait three weeks as well as they were out of stock. Cutting that rod felt strange but waaaay cheaper.

A couple of quick balance point photos. The balance of the Onager is very impressive for a big bait rod. It feels surprisingly light in hand!

Anyone with significant time with the 905C yet? How does it balance especially compare to the 895c nrx which was worst in the line up. Thanks

You can use it with heavier square bills, but it also makes a really good Swimbait rod small types think Keitech.

Decoy are best, reality if you hand tie the skirt that bait should last a while. I've had some success with the mustard fastach but they are trickier to get on....

they must've changed the way they list them. I think it's the 9/16". Tried to post a photo but having trouble

I use size three and it sits flush. Size 4 is a longer link which will not sit flush.

I have both the Barlows and Jann's figure 8 links and the Barlows definitely bend easier. I use the Jann's and have been lucky enough to catch one that went 9.8 this year and no problems or bending. Think you'll find the Jann's works just fine.

It's on TW site now

Out of curiousity, anyone own both the Elite and Signature rods? Wondering how much the AGS guide make a difference in balance/sensitivity?
