certainly at face value it looks like a xxx with sic guides, reminiscent what happen with the xx japan edition

mb should put a t-wing on a monoblock or t-wing guides on a rod

was looking forward to getting an updated sbs or a bfs model, hopefully it will show up on a future generation

very nice, i'll take two please

steez rd skyray racing tune and the new mb xx

the steez ags 7'1" mhxf gets my vote, the ags guides give it a unique feel

hi, has anyone tried putting a g1 1012/16 in a non-tw steez, does it have issues? hedgehog states it doesnt have enough braking, thanks in advance

criffhanger = bit more sensitive
skyray = excellent sensitivity, bit more power, faster tip
both super fun rods to fish

my fav topwater rod

yea, x7 blank with torzite guides, the 64 fishes similar to the criffhanger (but with a bit faster tip) and the 611 fishes similar to the super eiger (but with a bit more power), looks cool too

light work: shim alde50 + ktf spool w/ ixa sics
all-rounder: mb is73 + 105 sv spool w/zpi sics

currently my fav is a 105 sv spool on my is73 (great all-round), the mb hc or mb bfs are good too. trying to see if i can source a 1012 g1 sv spool to try out as well.

here are some pics of the rods, too lazy to get the reels, but ive posted most of them on show and tell (l->r) cumulus 65, cumulus 71, cumulus 610, eg stingray ss 63, eg super cougar 610, mb xx sbs 610... https://bctgja.by3301.livefilestore.com/y4mFAaek_o3X4XS01RUW7fd8N7kNN4COBFruWKBUdw9mef3h4IYB4GS...
