Hi everyone I'm looking for suggestions on truly ml spinning rod. Currently I'm using Conquest 902 for my finesse fishing. It's nice for 1/8 shaky head + worm, jigs etc, but can't go lower with good distance. Looking for rod more than 7'. Is 7'6" Steez ags m/ml good for lighter applications? Other ...

If you can find one used, the megabass X7 F4-68X7 cyclone advantage is a great squarebill rod, 3/8 to 1/2oz max.

I had this rod and used it for 1 season and hated it. It was basically a jig only rod, maybe heavy t-rigs, but that's all it did for me. It was however super sensitive but.....was the most tip heavy rod I have ever used for bottom contact. I quickly sold it and have zero regrets. If you want to bala...

I’m done, my bank account is ruined. I will take 1 of each.

Dobyns for me. Bought a whole bunch in 2014 and sold them all off within a year. Poor quality, guide inserts popping out, bad cork, and sensitivity lacking. I fished the savvy, champions and champion extreme in various spinning and casting. I think if you are someone who fishes HARD in tournaments, ...

For 1/4 to 3/8 t rigs hands down the 893C, crazy crazy sensitive. Honorable mention to the 853c as well.

Anything over 3/8 i would go 894C over the 873c

I have one and love it. I use it mostly for jerkbaits and topwater, but have also enjoyed it for 3/8oz squarebills. Very sensitive as well!

My vote is for the addermine as it will do any finesse technique really well. In my experience it is a very sensitive rod that is close to the NRX IMO. What sets it apart is the handle ergonomics - while ever so slightly less sensitive than the NRX, the ergonomics make the rod far more enjoyable to ...

Light DS work - Megabass F4st-69RSTi hedgehog with daiwa exist 3000s-CXH, 14lb YGK galis ultra WX8 braid, 6lb tatsu leader. Heavier DS - Megabass F3.5-611XS addermine with shimano stella FI 2500HGS, 18lb YGK WX8 braid, 8lb tatsu leader. Cast/retrieve long range DS work - NRX 872S with shimano vanqui...

Steez TW way more comfortable for me.

I would personally go with JapanLureShop. I ordered a Met Mgl on Mon June4 and it arrived Fri June8 in the morning, Japan to Canada. On top of the quick delivery, they included a FREE Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait as a gift \:D/ Note that the Met Mgl is overbraked vs the 13 Metanium in my opinion, b...

For me, it would be:

Rod: Daiwa steez racing design 7011 HRB , OR Megabass destroyer FMJ

Reel: Daiwa Steez SV TW 8.1:1, or Steez A - Equipped with ZPi NRC001PG spool

Line: 18-20lb Seaguar Tatsu, either straigh floro or 50lb YGK WX8 ultra jigman braid to 20lb Tatsu leader.

The texture or ribbing of the unfished blank on my faust and super destroyer both (16JDM) are the same. The texture of my FMJ (17USA) is noticeably different than the jdm models. I feel like my super destroyer is more sensitive than my FMJ. My best guess is they are using different graphite. They s...

Thanks for the info on the egoist! Sounds like it would be good for power. Do you think it has the guts to pull 1/2oz spinnerbaits or 1/2 swim jigs with trailer through the weeds? Im just thinking versatility here, maybe this rod can do more than just bottom contact. I do have a MB diablo fastmove ...

Hi jmb27 - how do you like that EG egoist ? I am thinking about acquiring one of these and wanted to know if it is any good at bottom contact, jigs and t-rigs in the 3/16 to 3/8oz range? I would also want it for many other techniques as well. Is it really a "heavy" as stated in the specs or is it m...
