I have two Fury rods on the way. I'll post my impressions of them as soon as I get them in. I got the 733c and the 735c. I've never used a 13 fishing rod, so I won't be able to compare. But I do have Lew's Lite reels as well. So I'll throw one of those on the Furys and see what it feels like. Justin

Thanks for the replies! I heard Calfish isn't painting reels any more...? I could be wrong on that though. Also, I can't seem to be able to find any contact info for Calfish. I inquired about Decade Works..I didn't realize he was in Japan, but if that's what I gotta do to get my reel painted, then ...

Looking to get a reel custom painted for the wife...who do y'all suggest? Thanks in advance!

Depending on what you want to spend, the 683c Champion or 663c Fury should be great for 3/8 oz SBs, if you want to stay under 7 feet. I'm a SB fanatic and have used Dobyns rods for many years. I think the 3 power fast action casting rods they make are fantastic for this. I personally love my 703 and...

Definitely an option. A little more than I want to spend..but if I can't find anything else, may have to do!

Keep the suggestions coming if anyone knows of any others. Thanks JDLaman.

Hey guys, need some help.. My wife has really gotten into fishing with me and of course, wants a pink fishing rod. I haven't had much luck finding one. Do y'all know of a company that makes a decent casting rod that's pink? Or know of a custom builder that would make one? Thanks in advance! Justin

I'd say Curado I or Tatula..and it just depends on your personal taste with it, like others have said. The Tatula is a little bigger frame and half an ounce heavier, so that factors in. But having a lot of experience with both, I'd give the casting edge to the Tatula, especially for a crankbait reel...

Core 50 and Scorpion 1000XT. I've been through many many reels over the years but I've owned these two for a loooong time. Great great reels.


Justin

For 1/4-3/4 like you stated, I'd probably choose a Metanium XG or Chronarch Ci4+ HG. Anything around 1/4 or lighter, definitely a Core50MG7 or Aldebaran MG7.


Justin

x2 on the Scorpion 1000XT. I put a longer CF handle on mine. It's a great little reel for small cranks and stuff like that. I've had mine for a long time and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

So it's been a while since I've posted here, but I am a loooong time member of these forums. I've owned countless reels over the last 10 years or so of being a tackle junkie. I've always been a fan of the mid market stuff, but I've owned my share of the more expensive/enthusiast tackle as well as a ...

How do you like the new chronarch? Very nice collection!

This thing is the reel deal guys!! Mine came in yesterday and I'm really impressed. So smooth and casts like a dream. Already thinking about getting another...

Very nice
