CXX owns Siege

I'd like to see a review on the new FENWICK ELITE TECH, or even the Techna AV's.

I have that rod and reel......makes an excellent combo, but I actually prefer a Curado 200B on that rod because I use bigger line on jigs and prefer the line cap. and stronger feel of the 200B......but you'd be quite pleased with the 50Mg and the 854.

Although I use several split gripped rods, I prefer full grip. Split grips really just dont do a thing for me because I dont buy rods to look cool; like some others. For me, the perfect rod is built like a Kistler Helium LTA: full rear grip, no foregrip. I plan on custom ordering a Kistler Helium II...

The rod diameter of the Kistler LTA near the tip was much bigger then I'd expected when I purchased last Winter. Bigger then any of the 20 rods /7 brands I own.

yep, I broke two different Helium II's in the last month, and kicked a Crucial/Biomaster combo in lake

Not like the Great Lakes, but Kentucky Lake can give you more than you want to handle

My Alphas F was a good reel for shallow to mids cranks, never threw a spinnerbait with one though

I like to start with a Brush Hog, if that doesnt work I like a ribbon tail worm, then I will use a Senko.

While I admire the Revos 20+lb drag pressure I dont think its as useful as most think. You only need so much drag presure. How many people actually use 20lb (or more) braid most the time (aside from me :lol: ) even with my 20lb test braid id only want a max of 10lbs of drag pressure. Unless your pu...

Wow, ya'll sure turned this into a bashing......Lets start one on who's not sold on Daiwa, then go from there......
