Nice. Kinda like shootin fish in a barrel in that small pond.

I can't wait to try one of these out. Looks like a magnesium version of the calais 100A.

I guess since we have had 2 members' megabass rods break, here recently, that now we should not ever use a megabass rod either? I'm sure your setyr rod is probably better than anything megabass makes too, right? I don't care who makes the rod kistler, megabass, g loomis, st croix, etc etc will all b...

I hope that it works out for you, but that is 2 rods broken in a couple of weeks time just for the members of this site. Kinda makes you wonder what else is going on with megabass these days. I just read a review of one of the megabass rods reviewed by tackle tour and it also broke in two pieces. Ne...

welcome to 3 months ago!

Awesome fish! The STX will git r done!!

Gear ratio is what makes the most difference, not spool size.

The Quantum burners are the fastest. The energy burner has a spool diameter of ~37mm which is the largest of the 7.x reels which should mean it is also the fastest. When spooled up to the beveled edge of the spool, I measured 31inches per turn. By comparison the Zillion has a ~36mm spool, Revo ~35m...

Ok thanks, could one of yall explain how to set the revo sx this magnetic brake is screwing with me and i can't figure it out. btw the revo sx is about 3 times smoother than my record and c4. With you reel mounted on the rod and a lure tied on, engage the spool so that it turns freely. Turn the cas...

Quantum is bottom of the barrel junk. Their "burners" are only like 28" per turn. While the rest of the markets burners are all 30" + per turn. Makes about as much sense as their kayak rods with the extra long handles- I think we all got a good laugh at that!

683 Dobyns rod when it comes out in a week or so!

Those rear grips look really "blah" for a megabass rod. You'd think that they would still use a nice looking split grip or something that looks better than those.

mostly cranks and moving baits, 1/8-1/2 If that's the case, then I think you'd be better off with the 842. You'd have a hard time getting the 783 to load properly to cast 1/8-1/4oz lures. The 783 is a pretty stiff rod, especially the GLX, and it is better suited for weighted plastics and spinnerbai...

What size baits? (weight)

For all purpose, I would go with the 783, but if you toss a lot of lighter stuff then the 842 works great on the lighter stuff!

I just dont see what the hype is. Been fishing 14lb machinegun cast and 13lb defier for the past 3 trips and I am not all that happy with either one. I especially dont like the machinegun cast. It's just way too stiff and if it gets any kinks in it then it will break easily! I think the 13lb defier ...
