I use Suffix 832 15lb braid on my spinning set-ups and its worked out great and casting distance is pretty darn good on my older stradic.

I've used many chatterbaits on many rods and the DX744, even though labeled as a Fast works great for chatterbait!
I have a PIII Nautilus and its a great rod, but like the DX744 better for this bait ( granted, I throw larger swimbaits as trailers)

MB PIII Nautilus, one of my all-time favorite rods!

I have an X4 Black Elseil and its an outstanding rod!

Sure... In October... LOL. The release of this rod has been a joke! Can't please everyone. They have them at a previous iCast then get railed for design. Then they encounter a delay from the manufacturer of the guides and get railed some more. All good. Me personally, I've got a couple customs, can...

The FOW you're fishing in makes a big difference , how deep are you fishing?

CAN'T STAND exposed thread on a rod, looks unfinished. I'll take the few extra grams of weight and have a hood!

No way would I pick a Luvias over a new stradic (not ci4+). Anything beneath a a Certate (which I really liked using while smallie fishing on a guide trip) from Daiwa can't match the performance of the Stradic, it's been that way for awhile.

Stanlet makes a good one, I can't remember the name off hand. The pond magic is a great lure too!

My K2 will have a Alde2015.

MINE , I hope!!

Shimano, crushing as USUAL!

back reeling? Psshhhh... nevah. That's what a smooth drag is for. I see it as a worthless feature for my uses.

I agree! Cork looks the same quality has my omen... And that cork was pretty rough... Even for 100$ for!
