looking at RF vs F actions for Gamakatsu Luxxe Zephyros.
Any idea what is Fast would be in comparison to Loomis fast? Is RF would be more like traditional regular?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for all the information!

I am contemplating getting one for topwater or\and jerk baits in 1\4 to 3\8 range.
Just wanted to hear overall impression, are they worth it? I could not find any information from real people using them.

Any one has any experience with Gamakatsu Luxxe Zephyros?
Thank you.

You are right, now when you pointed out I can see the bearing, it is hardly noticeable on the very top picture explaining the infinity drive. So 2 pinion bearings are still here, it is just the spool bearing location is moved. Interesting to see 3 bearings on the handle shaft, I was wondering where ...

The P5s including X bites are finally in stock at the US retailers, perhaps more X Bites reviews will be coming here as more people start getting them? Would be interesting to thee more comparisons. Thank you.

from google translate Infinity drive: A new mechanism developed by Shimano to achieve stronger and lighter winding. Of the two grease bearings that support the pinion gear, the bearing on the spool side that has the highest rotational resistance. The structure has been redesigned so that it is not s...

No more x ship for conquest, we have infinyty drive, looks to be one bearing is gone from the pinion support or am I missing something? Lots of good improvements, not all of them are easy to figure out based on the limited info: additional bearing to support the handle shaft ( to eliminate back play...

I have this rod. The action is true regular IMHO and it will be OK for 110 and pop max, 1/2 oz is fine on it, but does not cast smaller 1/4 popx well at all. It is a strange rod, the tip diameter it disproportionally large, it looks to me almost like the blank was cut in the wrong place, instead of ...

p5 xbite seems to be getting really good reviews for bottom contact applications. People reporting it to be preferred to nrx 853... I was excited about it until I saw that snapped one in the P5 thread :sick: I hear you, that is one of the reasons I have not gotten one. Looking forward to what the u...

I have Japanese market oneten orochi XXX and hate this short trigger real seat. The P5 has similar one from what I know and that's a deal breaker for me.

Thanks all for the info.

Are the 782\783 glx models a bit softer\lighter in power compared to 842\843? Some people say they are.
Or they just shorter versions?
I cant find a place to hold these 782\783 rods in my hands.

Will 782 glx work for megabass 110 1/2 oz? I may go to 3/8 oneten junior from time to time. I am using Zodias Medium 6.10 right now and it is about perfect for me. Just want another jerkbait rod and have one of them as occasional topwater for small pop x poppers. My Nrx 843 seem a bit too powerful f...
