Re: New Poison Adrena

Does anyone have the 72M adrena? How does it compare to the 72M zodias? I know the latter is like a M+ which can be used for a wide variety of weightless baits, and small texas rigs/jigs.

2020 Zodias 72M

Is this rod well balanced? Is anyone with it willing to post a pic of a balance point or make a comment. I've heard is is a very versitile rod for senkos/ t rigs/finesse jigs etc. I have liked the expride but have always been curious about a zodias.

Re: Glass crankbait stick for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits?

I like the expride 7M glass rod for chatterbaits

One Texas rig/small rig jod

If I could only have one rod for everything from senkos, 1/4 texas rigs, to small rigs, what is the best option? -Most people will say NRX 893 but will it load the senko well? It seems like the 852 is the go to senko rod. Are there other suggestions? I also also curious about the Zodias 72M(differen...

Re: 2020 Metanium MGL equal

I'm not sure if you guys follow punch fishing on youtube but he has a lot of great high end tackle reviews. I was talking to him on IG and he said the zillion feels a lot more solid since it is all aluminum and does not have the hollow feel like magnesium and composite(i.e. chronarch MGL) tend to ha...

Re: Fairly inexpensive top water stick

I recommend a dobyns 703. When I still had the fury 703 I felt it was an amazing 3/8 popper rod.

Re: new antares DC

One extra tid bit of info... only get it if you specifically want the 4x8 DC system. If you just want the best reel Shimano or any other brand makes, then get the Antares 19 JDM and save money by ordering from a well-known japan ebay sellers. I have all kinds of Steez models, Metanium DCs, Aldebara...

Re: Spinner bait rod suggestions

Okuma TCS 69MHMF Amazing spinnerbait rod that I have a great hookup ratio with. The tip is super soft and it absorbs strikes super well, even right at the boat. With a curado K it balances on the lock nut and it just floats in your hand. It can be used for most moving baits IMO. What line are you u...

Re: Orochi XX ronin or shakey head

I may end up getting a levante whipsnake since that model would suit my needs better. Is it a big step up in sensitivity from levante to orochi?

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!

Thinking about selling my extra old 893c and getting something to fish 5" senkos/flukes from shore since the extra length on the 893/894 is a hindrance when fishing soft jerkbaits tip down, what would you guys recommend? Thinking the 852c for more of an all around rod that I'm hoping has enough pow...

Orochi XX ronin or shakey head

Which is better as an all around spinning rod, mostly for ned rigs? I know whipsnake would be the best choice but it is not available.

Ronin seems like it can be used for most treble hook techniques.

Re: New Poison Adrena

I've fished my 72H for the first time in this last week. As a frog rod I do not recommend it, unless maybe you were in a kayak, it is just too short for me. I also tried it with a 3/8 jig and braid. It is the most sensitive rod I have used for sure. The water was high in the outlet I was fishing and...
