Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
I do NOT like the wave guides, otherwise I might check one out. I will be ordering a new Abu rod with a tournament guy's name on it. I will probably cover his name though.
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
Those ABU rods do not spec out badly for the cost. 36 ton blank or HSG blank, zirconium guide insets but do not care for the ACS reel seat.Johnny A wrote:I do NOT like the wave guides, otherwise I might check one out.

See, I like the reel seat and the trigger! I don't like the trigger on the Veritas or the Villain. I have big fingers and the trigger just doesn't feel right.
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
See the trigger on the Veritas does not bother me like the extra groove and ridge that the ACS reel seats have. But still a very nice rod for a low cost.Johnny A wrote:JWR075 wrote:Those ABU rods do not spec out badly for the cost. 36 ton blank or HSG blank, zirconium guide insets but do not care for the ACS reel seat.Johnny A wrote:I do NOT like the wave guides, otherwise I might check one out.

Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
just finished watching a video on the DUO Realis spybait and Aaron Martens was using it. Could this be his new bait sponsor instead of Megabass?
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
I'm surprised there wasn't more talk about Cody Meyer leaving Shimano for Daiwa. I saw it mentioned in an earlier post, but this is almost as bad as Aaron not fishing Daiwa when he was sponsored by Megabass. Did anyone see any press about why Cody made the switch, other than the fact that Daiwa is much better. Easy now. I respect all of your rod and reel choices. It's just a joke.

Who fishes Megabass in USA that also fishes Daiwa, and how many of them use Shimanotoddmc wrote:I'm surprised there wasn't more talk about Cody Meyer leaving Shimano for Daiwa.

Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
I can't tell if it's just an illusion but Aaron does seem to believe in the wave guides.. Perhaps he made the switch for a reason other than the suspected reason (money). I have never used em so I have no input.
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
Did Brett Hite just switched to Daiwa?
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
Yes, probably because of the Evergreen connection. It will be interesting to see if some of the other western Evergreen anglers make the switch.Pen3 wrote:Did Brett Hite just switched to Daiwa?
Re: New Bass Fishing Teams/Sponsors/Contracts
I wonder if Daiwa will also be selling the Evergreen/Daiwa collaboration rods in the states besides lures.toddmc wrote:Yes, probably because of the Evergreen connection.
