Re: New Poison Adrena

Re: New Poison Adrena

the 7'2H, what's the upper and lower range? what's the best technique for this rod? what do you all use it for? thx It is a very interesting rod.

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!

Ok. I can give a brief assessment. I got my new NRX+ 873CRR last night. I took it out to a local community dock for a little testing. It was paired with an Antares and spooled up with Hitena 43lb Supercast braid. Here are my initial observations: Fit and Finish: Better than the old NRX. The new des...

Re: MB orochi perfect pitchvs poison adrena 72h

I have both rods. The Poison Adrena is much lighter, much crisper, and better balanced. However, it doesn't have near the power needed for a dedicated pitching stick. I would call it MH at best.

Re: Frog Rod that’s not 7’

That Lilypad Survivor is far more a traditional swim jig, ribbit toad, spinner bait, vibrating jig, lighter bottom contact, very versatile all around type rod.

Re: St. Croix Legend Xtreme 2020

How does the Xtreme 74H compare to the Bottom Contact rod action wise? The tip is a little softer/faster on the Croix. It reminds me a lot of the first generation Megabass XX Perfect Pitch action wise. It really is a great pitching rod. Thanks. I'm really trying to decided between these two rods. T...

Re: New Poison Adrena

I think I'm about to pull the trigger on the 7'2" Heavy. From what I read, it seems like it's a little more powerful than an NRX 873? Would it be like a shorter 894? Thanks.
