Anyone fished the 2016 St. Croix Legend Elite 7' Med Hvy

Looking for a new jig rod with a stiffer tip to help me impact that perfect hopping motion.

Anyone fished the 2016 St. Croix Legend Elite 7' Med Hvy then let me know how you got on.

Re: What is your preferred reel cover

Daiwa CVS reel covers are amaze balls. Nice thick protective neo but then I only fish Daiwa reels so branding isn't an issue.

I found a boat load on Amazon. I have bought a few of the new Steez TWS reels which come with one so I might be able to sort you out with 4 if you would like

Anyone swapped out the RECoils on a NRX

Has anyone swapped out the RECoils on an NRX to match the stripper Fuji Titanium SIC's ?

If so, is there a performance advantage to doing so ?

Re: ETERNITY²

Does the Eternity 2 blank fish faster like a Point Blank / St Croix or slower like the K2/NFC HM offerings ?

I'm looking between the Rainshadow Eternity2 ETEC72M and the Point Blank PB731MXF for 3/8oz jigs but I'm wanting something true fast to x fast action.

Re: Any love for the NRX 853c and 854c

i have an 852 and an 853 and love the 853 for 3/8 jigs. has an awesome tip for casting the jigs, yet still has plenty of power for me! Whats the total weight that you are throwing with that 3/8oz jig ? It would be great to get an understanding of how that XFast atop of the 853 compares to a Fast of...

Re: NRX Guide replacement?

So titanium SiC's weigh less than the RECoils ?

Would Torzites be even less ? How much weight are we talking ?

One other question that springs to mind, would Torzites improve sensitivity over the RECoils ?

Looking for a unicorn, a slighter faster NRX 843 MBR

I would like to move into custom rods so I can benefit from spiral wrap, carbon grip and a comfier reel seat but those NRX blanks are dam good. Is there a blank out there that is as sensitive but a tad faster than the NRX 843 MBR ?

I will be solely using this build for 1/2oz total weight jigs.

Any love for the NRX 853c and 854c

The NRX 893c and 894c as well as the 843 MBR consistently get rave reviews but I don't hear a lot about the 853c and 854c. Most prefer the Megabass Phase 3 Bearingdown to the NRX 853c so for all those NRX 853c and 854c users, please come forward and say why you love the rods and what applications th...

Re: My experience buying rods using Buyee BEWARE

I put up with the service because I wanted the stuff that could only be had in Japan but it looks like they have changed their policy about consolidating rods. When you push them, they will do it but they will use the largest box imaginable. It ended up costing me more than if they sent them alone. ...

Re: Megabass monoblock

There are good deals to be had on the 100 so that's a good place to start. It comes down to cosmetic preferences and that's down to you to pay double, triple or more the price of a 100.
