Thanks dragon1 for your suggestions!

Hi all, I would like to upgrade the rod (a Okuma EVX crank air rod) that I use for my poppers and crankbaits. While the rod is decent for the money it is not the lightest and most sensitive one. I would like to be able to throw 1/4 - 3/8 oz poppers and cranks on it with the occasional 1/2oz. Reel wi...

Maybe I am about to make a dumb comment. But isn't this the 2021 Antares DC in a saltwater version? Looks identical to besides the coating.

To me (price being irrelevant), the Steel SV TWS is the best. It casts a wide range of lures, casts far, can skip, has a decent line capacity and is the smoothest (lasting) reel I have ever fished. And I have fished with basically any high end reel that has been released in the last 6-7 years.

I had an 854 NRX for roughly 12 minutes and it is clearly more sensitive than that rod was lol. For a pretty powerful rod, it is impressively sensitive in my hands. I think it is a standout in the line. Thanks for the reply! What reel do you have mounted on the rod, where is the balance point? Than...

What would the max. weight that one would want to comfortably throw on this rod (no cover/ in cover)?

Thanks!

Any feedback on performance of the rod? Which model? I have the ASL6904X. I fish with it occasionally. Regular action and it is for primarily for jerkbaits/topwater for me. It is an incredible rod and I love the carbon handle. My understanding is that the blanks are quite similar to the X7 series, ...

Hi all,
Is the spool the only mechanical part that sets the Steez A HLC apart from the regular Steez A?

In other word: Is it fair to assume that if I switched the spool in the Steez A HLC to the regular spool of the Steez A, that I basically becomes a regular Steez A?

Thanks for clarifying.

Here are a couple of options: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Tackle_ ... BGSBA.html

Does anybody have experience with the 22 Zillion HD and the 2018 HD?

Considering either for a high speed reel for 1/2 oz - 1oz chatterbaits. Smoothness and longevity are key.

Thanks for any feedback!
