Nice gear Hobey, what techniques do you use them for? I love my 894c!
Take it off!
This may have changed since I posted.
894 - 1/2 oz+ jigs for flipping milfoil, Carolina rig
893 - 3/8 Texas rigs
Javelin - DT14, 5XD, and MB Deep 6. I'm probably the only person in the world that uses the rod for this, but I crank milfoil weed lines with straight braid with this rod. Rip the bait through the milfoil and get a reaction bite. There's just enough backbone with good tip action for this technique.
LE MHF - Frog rod, back up jig
844 - 1/2 oz all arounder
843 - 3/8 oz all arounder
110 Special - Jerkbaits (110 specials, shadow raps)
Elite Tech SM MXF - small topwater (1/4 oz pop r) and jerk baits (pointer 78s)
It has changed a little. I sold off the Metanium and purchased a Curado DC XG for the Legend Elite. The Elite Tech SM now has a Alpha CT on it which is a sweet little reel. I also bought a couple of Legend Xtreme recoil models that are 6'6 MHF and paired them up with Tatula 100s for the kayak.
