If theres no price, then I would low-ball, say around $140. Maybe he will negotiate and you can still get it for a decent price.

Thats my Plan but just wanted to get an idea as to where to start, if you go to low some people get offended and stop dealing with you.

Yes, but I use it more for senkos, finesse jigs, and light texas rigs. It's great for dead sticking 5.8 and 6.8 flick shakes. Daiwa needs to bring this rod or an equivalent ... ie Steez Harrier-Finesse to pair with the new Steez ct sv If I get an Alphas CT, and let's be honest, I will, that rod is ...

That's good to hear. They really are great rods for the money and I'm glad they actually managed to improve upon them without jacking up the price. Here are the weights of the 1st gen models I have or have had in the past: Tatula 6101MXB: 3.8 Tatula 6101MHFB: 3.7 Tatula 711MHXB: 3.8 Tatula 711MHRB:...

Are these BFS reels (i.e. such such as the Adlebaran) salt water durable? The Aldebaran is not recommended for salt because of the Magnesium frame but the Shimano Scorpion is Salt approved as well as the Abu ALC BF7. Both have audible drags and cast light baits well, the Abu spool is a little light...

If it's mechanically sound, I wouldnt go over $180, or $200 if the original box and accesories are included. I have no way of telling how it is internally because I'm purchasing it online but he "says" he only used it 1 time and from the look of the pics it definitely appears it hasn't been used mu...

I have a opportunity to pick up one in like new shape, what would you pay for it ? https://photos.app.goo.gl/DGP2mViD8GsoNb1D8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/4S5VqmWNo6EX641T6 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/YERuhKsyAPSkSQvaXOs3yy7o7AotJyclZX8GIpD-Z3b0PgEdy7PPJbV43LGUwaxF_zpg1k3W_sm85gF5ztmyo6TwAr4xDIS...

This. I hope. I gave up the Volkey 68L in favor of the MS-X 65L. It's lighter, more crisp, more sensitive, and better balanced. Should get a LOT of use in the coming year. https://i.postimg.cc/Fzfx5XjQ/20190208-223721-HDR.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/brjK5MHv/20190205-215016.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nr...

http://www.tackletour.com/reviewphenixFTX71MH.html Phenix Feather 7'1 MH is what your looking for. Under $200, weighs 3.2 oz on my scale, good balance. It's rated MH but it's actually medium. Ya beat me to it. It was the first rod I thought of when reading what the OP was looking for. Not only unde...

Edward78, I had offered to weigh some rods when I got back to work today. Well I did weigh some and made some notes. That piece of paper is now in the washing machine along with the shirt I wore today. Sorry. I am going to try to summarize things as best as I can remember. I'm 65 so no guarantees a...

How does the reel perform for 1/8oz lures? I am wondering if the reel would make sense on my 852NRX and 8-10 pound line.

Thanks.

!/8 is pretty dam light but I think on the right rod it would do well, What are you wanting to cast that only weighs 1/8oz ?

Weighed a few of my rods yesterday Phenix Feather ML FTX71ML 3.12 Major Craft Benkei UL BIC652UL/BF 3.29 Major Craft Benkei L BIC672L/BF 3.48 Daiwa Tatula ML TAT691MLRB 3.62 Daiwa Tatula MH TAT6101MHFB 3.70 Daiwa Tatula M TAT701MRB 3.84 Daiwa Tatula Elite MH TAEL731MHFB 4.68 Fenwick Elite Tech Bass ...

I think this might be the one. Looks to good to be true honestly.

I’m going to change out to cork as well. Those big Eva “power knobs” are just ridiculous and takes away from an awesome reel and makes it look like a KastKing or something.

What do you guys think of the Fenwick Aetos, I see they have 7’ Medium
Fast model ?

Well I have not weighted one but the Shimano SLX is a light rod and lists for $100. St. Croix has the Bass-X at $100 also but for me the Avid is a much better rod at $200 MSRP. I do not know the weights on any of them but if you have not decided by Tuesday I could weight them for you. TFO has some ...
