Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
I’ll be looking to add a new Levante, and a higher end Megabass offering. Not sure which, but a new destroyer line would probably cause me to pounce immediately

Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
I had a couple for the list but ended up picking one up this morning lol glx 822s dsr was added this morning paired with a ci4+, but the next would definately be 893c nrx
Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
I'm thinking a new NRX.. I love my 852s. Here are a few that make the shortlist... really going come down to price and availability, since I am cheap..
894C
893C
822s
894C
893C
822s
Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
Since I purged all my NRXs to buy Conquests, I miss a couple. Sold my CNQ843c, so that will be replaced by a NRX 843c MBR, and might buy a 893c JWR...again. I should never have gotten rid of those two.

JDM Ugly Stick Premier Pro Titanium elite BFS rod
Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
The JDM Ugly Stick was out of my price range so I might have to settle for this...

I'm going to focus on UL this year. Got a Corto headed my way. The UL guys on this forum are costing me an arm and a leg!
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

If you’re getting their whole line up, don’t forget to pick up a some of these bargain buys for the occasional salt water adventure. I think there are 6 models in the Grand Versus line. Can even get them cheaper when eBay has their 15% off sale....and don’t forget there’s free shipping

This is the way.
Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?
After getting the ‘18 Olympic Corto out today I want to try some of their other offerings.

What I like about that new Zephryos (or whatever the hell they call it) line up is that they are incorporating a very light glass composition into the Toray 1100G. Depending on the tonnage, that Toray is wicked crisp at 100%, but light, insanely sesitive and has a forgiving bend under heavy load. The addition of the light glass composition allows for the fancy flick casts and backhand skips we drool over. Your still going to get everybit of sensitivity you would ever want or need. Luxxe build quality is second to none. If I save up my Yen the next few months I would only be able to afford one, especially considering I would have to pair it with a KTF Steez CT Finesse Custom...

I’ve been reading a bit about these rods: http://www.i-s-makers.com/products/rod/infinite-blade/
I became interested in this blend of carbon and glass after positive experience with varkarie. Seems like ISm might be doing something similar to what you’re describing for these new zephs.
