Re: Which one?

For lighter weights I would expect most to say Met. I haven't used my Bantam yet, but I've heard it is not very good for senkos, according to tackleadvisors on youtube.

Personally I would definitely go Met.

Re: If You Sold all Your Fishing Equipment

I am done with selling gear. I'm not able to get enough from the sales to make it worth it. Flipping gear has lost me so much money, and I have decided to stop.

The champion is honestly less sensitive than an omen black and far less sensitive than a tatula.

The DX is less sensitive than a Levante by a lot.

And below the DX all of the rods lack a real locking nut.

Re: New Curado 70 mgl K

I will be pairing this new XG 70 with a GLX 842 for an all-around medium rod. Should be a blast for weightless senkos. Personally I am not a fan of the color scheme. It is not going to match most rods very well. The older 70 would look good on a much wider variety of rods. It will match the IMX pro...

I buy all gear for at least 20% off. I don't think I've ever paid full retail for anything.

Re: Stradic CI4+ on clearnce...new model coming?

Yea looks like a retro ci4 to me. Certainly intriguing but for the price I might rather get a twinpower for 70 more

New Met DC

Do you think they will drop a new met DC with the coresolid body, or is the DC unit too large to fit in a compact frame? The reel is definitely due for an update.
