I was wondering if anybody offers upgrades for the Shim Calcutta DC series reels?

Thanks for the advice guys. I will do some testing tonight.

What size and action rod do you use for the light stuff?

I was wondering if it is advised to use lighter baits like the super flukes and other plastics which do not weigh as much with baitcasters. I have no problems throwing cranks and heavier baits with my baitcaster but if the lure lis light I get birds nest and my casting distance is terrible. Am I doi...

I was curious if any of you have used them and what you thought of them.

I have both of these rods, my MBR783C is the GL3 and my MBR843C is the IMX. Both are great rods, but I think I prefer the 6' 6" length for all around fishing. I usually reserve the 843 for C-rigging and those times that I want to really through baits for distance. Lots of guys prefer the 7' rod, bu...

Sweet, thanks.

So you gain 20yards by not having the spool full?

Thanks a lot.

Good points. I'm going to try out the 783 and see how it works out. If I'm pleased with it I will probably stay put. Have you guys noticed that the GLX rods seem to be a bit more stiffer than other models and companies? I had to move down from a 722 to 721 just to get the tip I wanted. Not a big dea...

Do you think it will be worth it to move from a 6'6 to a 7'?

Hello all, I recently purchased a loomis mbr783c to use with my shimano reel. I will mostly use this for spinners, crankbaits and jigs. After speaking with my friend he told me I should've gone with a 7' version of this rod. Do you guys think I should return this and look at 7' versions? he told me ...

The problem is the line twisting. But the main reason for this is the take-up on the bail. Look at your spinning reel, many have a smooth notch for the line to guide back onto the spool as you reel in. Many of the new spinning reels now have a bearing in the line guide take-up.

Sweet. I can't wait to read all about it.
