Triple threats in White Pythons....
Started with 2018 HDTS, jumped back in the DeLorean for the OG, skipped the 2014 era then back to the future for the 2017 Legend Works Limited 30th. Obviously big thanks to the folks house over at Triple T for working with me for starting my journey for these highly regarded rods. Was super stoked on the 2018 and of course that got me thinking more so that's where I stand now I feel the 2014 era was a strange era although I did have a couple rods in that timeframe but since long gone Anyway the hopes is I get all akimbo with the latest Evo WPs as I want to get matching reels I believe. I'm moving or I should say transitioning back over to Daiwa platforms and I heard a lot of good things about this STEEZ A but I'm very interested in the Zillion TWS HD. Side note if anyone has any information on those two particular platforms please shed some light if you wish the highest I'll throw would be an occasional 2 oz swimbait these are going to be my as I said one rod to rule them all like Cal, Zander and the rest of the gang search for for us . I am going to lace it up with 40lb braid in some fashion more than likely Power Pro but I also may try Daiwa J braid as I heard a lot of great things on that particular product as well. Mainstay will be hollow body frogs with, T-rigging for bottom or lighter punching or "bush penetration", and weightless plastics for the mucky-muck if it ever comes back in these valley reservoirs then the occasional in my opinion smaller swimbaits max weight as stated earlier 2 ounces mainly throwing 5" bull gills and deps SSSS 145s but 2.25oz feels really nice in the latest WPs so you know I will sling the 6" bullshads, and bullrats as well but not as prominently on the latest WPs. I have hopes for taking 68 specials in doing the by now old-school technique of the Butch Brown rig so without the heavy gauge hook I think these rods would be very very sweet for that particular technique. I took a few shots(not great ) to show some subtle differences between the two latest white pythons particularly between the first and second double footed stripper guides. the 2018 version the decorative golden bronze portion(highlights the titanium fibers running parallel up the shaft) of the blank goes up between the two where as the 30th Anniversary stops and doesn't go past the first stripper guide. Anyway that's my ramblings for the day hope everyone's staying safe out there

Re: **Triple threat White Pythons with hopes for Akimbo for 2 of them?**
Here’s a wrench thrown at those suggestions. I think that legend 30th WP is screaming for the 8.6 morethan. Some informative threads on that one on here.
Re: **Triple threat White Pythons with hopes for Akimbo for 2 of them?**
Ooooh very nice, always skirted at the idea of operating one more research time
Re: **Triple threat White Pythons with hopes for Akimbo for 2 of them?**
What, no Slant Bridge models???
Very nice rods!!

That OG has a slant; don’t think it shows up in the pic.

Thank you to Mr. GW and the squad over at Triple T! So psyched that this beast arrived today nice labor day treat for sure first impressions say get an additional to match the 2018 WP to be Akimbo I know i am late to the party but this platform seems to be a definite winner but water time with verify that feeling(for me) I am high hopes regardless This particular reel is getting acquainted with the 30th Anniversary WP Thank you again to 3T and Mr. Wood, again showing why they are a crown jewel in our community with their stellar service
Balance is sick with this particular reel and WP

Akimbo achieved with the latest Evoluzion WPs and bonus 2 bridges of the slant style OG WP and SD. Big shout outs to Triple T, Gary and all the folks for the work you all do! The superlatives never end with that whole crew over there over Yonder They really set me up nicely with Daiwa platforms and the additional WP specimens Thank you 1,000 percent

That is one fine trio my friend. I hope they bring you joy with every moment of anticipation in getting to utilize those amazing specimens as you see fit, or while they're queued for action looking pretty on the rack! I know they will perform to exceed expectations with respect to your style, whether the fish cooperate or not
