Congrats, ayo8! Those rods are simply gorgeous.

I'm curious how that 7011HRB performs. Please keep us updated.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to try one out.

IS73 Viola paired with an ARMS Challenge World Edition Limited Diablo
IS73 Galaxy Red paired with an X7 Diablo Fast Move

*My Met MGL HG paired with a Shimano/Jackal Poison Glorious HyperWolf may get as much use as the IS Galaxy Red/X7 DFM combo

Congrats!

The Zillion 7' ML is what you're after. I've had the NRX 852 and wanted a little softer rod for the same intended purposes and reasons as you. I tried the Steez XT and it was horribly unbalanced, at least...in "my" hands. I paired both the Zillion and Steez XT rods with a '15 Luvias 2506H, so it was...

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

P.S. Let us know how those beauties perform together.

The Orochi XXX definitely have my attention.
