Thanks Mark, always looking for new rods to add!!!

Most likely memorial day.

That's exactly what I paid.

bass.jp (Proshop Otsuka) is where i purchased my Luxxe from. Just email them to check availability and they will send you a PP invoice. Rod wasn't too pricey compared to others in its class but shipping was expensive. I have the 69MH and use it for weightless -3/8oz t-rig. The tip is super fast, I a...

I was crying because this appears to be it this year. No new high end rods. At least not until end of year, maybe?

Deps Huge Custom - anyone know anything about these rods. Specifically looking at the H3S-73RF/FE or H2S-75RF. Use would be 1/2-1.5oz tungsten pitch/punch. Can't find any lure ratings anywhere. https://www.depsweb.co.jp/product/hugec ... ustom.html

Simply an awesome collection Ryan, well done.

I've sent Andrew too many paychecks over the last year or 2 and every time things have been great. Andrew is great with communication as well as the items are as advertised or better. Unfortunately for my wife, Andrew will be seeing more of my business.

Have to take a closer look later today.

That Ultima G for spinners and swim jigs is intriguing for sure. I like the extra length for long casts to large grass flats. I have the GLX 783 I use currently, great for close quarter combat but certainly lacks in the distance department. I wish those XH & XXH weren't SB rods, would have liked tha...

Daiwa Samurai Braid is my personal favorite. I also spooled one combo with Maxima based off some suggestions from other TT members about half way through last year. So far I am liking it very much.

Nice fish Tim. Water temps?

Not sure if this violates forum rules and if so please delete,but there is one on BBC for sale.

Edit: dammit eighty. Sorry...

FarNorth, thanks for the info.

Andrew awesome post, it is all making more sense now. That is SUPER thin however. In that video it almost looks like he is throwing FC the way the sun hits it at times.

I will certainly look at AlphaHawks posts and see what I can learn.

While I don't see myself dropping $800+ for a spinning rod right now - anyone have one or know anything about them? They look top notch as expected from Evergreen. Wonder how the sensativity is compared to other top of the line rods, MB (Simoom), NRX, etc. The Bush Serpent would be the only one I wo...
