After reading about this line, I'm wanting to try it. Anyone happen to use it?

Re: New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s

I'd shop the Rays long cast spools on aliexpress. I have a couple in my tat 100's and they are nice.

Re: 16 Daiwa Zillion SV TW

Love my 16 Zillions. I prefer their narrower frame versus the new lower and wider frames Daiwa has gone to.

Is JDM Tackle Heaven the only vendor that would carry the current Revoltage?
Tackle Haven seems to be the only place to get many of the JDM rods. With $100 shipping, I just wait until I can buy a minimum of two models. I've thought about emailing JLS to see if he is getting them in.

I think it's the weight of the frame only without a handle and a spool.
I was wondering how they managed that kind of savings, lol. Yes...Daiwa is getting lazy with the limited reels.

New Zillion Limited

Somehow they shaved off 25 grams bringing it down to 150g's.

Re: Jackall Revoltage

I found one that I'd like to add to my next rod order from Haven....the 7'8"ML+ (1/8-5/8oz) 107.8g's.

Re: 7'6" Light Cranking Rod

The Phenix classic bfs in 7'4" would be worth a look.

The new Revoltage use least amount 1100/M40 and it is made in China. The rods about 2xxxx yens cheaper than Glorious. I expect it is better than Expride with better blank.
Word. I think they will do well competing with other $200ish sticks.

Re: Jackall Revoltage

The 7'3"H Revoltage weighs the same as the 7'2" Ultima @ 120 grams. Pretty impressive. It is hard to understand the differences in the blanks of the Ultima/glorious/revoltage when they all claim 1100g/m40.

Re: Jackall Revoltage

They got rid of that badass lockdown nut though :( . A shame. Shimano/Jackal went backwards on the Ultima/Glorious and now Revoltage lockdown nuts. The nut is like the 'front fascia' of fishing rods IMO. Just cosmetic I realize, but if looks didn't matter, we'd all just fish Loomis rods.

Re: New US Market Poison Ultima

A few other blank design differences between the Glorious and the Ultima - Glorious has Hi Power X Ultima has Hi Power X Solid I'd imagine this has something to do with the way the carbon is wrapped, and how many layers are in different sections of the blank. Most likely the butt end for added stre...

Re: New US Market Poison Ultima

What are they retailing for in the US? I saw the announcement, but it didn’t have MSRP attached. I like my JDM 6’10” M (the 2022 model) quite a bit,, but feel that it’s so crisp (especially when compared with the typical Shimano taper) that it’s not as universal as aid hoped. Edit : Never mind, the...

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?

I like jarring sensitivity, the kind that scares you when you swim your bait into a rock :doh: Me too. Zander mentioned that several times he had a fish on, and the rod feedback was that 'something didn't feel right'. I used to get a lot of those kind of bites before I picked up my first Loomis IMX...
