Re: SLP Custom Body Zillion TW

Thank you those reels look awesome I think I’m going to pick one up. I didn’t even know Amazon was an option to purchase from. I have a Zillion HD that I love it just casts different than the regular zillion because if I’m not wrong the HD has the Mag Z spool? I just wanted to see if I could get a z...

SLP Custom Body Zillion TW

Does anyone have any time in with the SLP custom body version of the 21 Zillion? Is it just a cosmetic difference or do they upgrade some of the internals? I have one of the SLP Tatula SVs (22TR SV TW 105SLPW) and it does feel a little smoother and casts better than a normal Tatula SV (maybe that’s ...

Re: New GLX

I held them in a store and they feel incredible. I personally love the look of them in person. Can’t really discern the difference between them and a NRX in terms of weight. The new actions are pretty awesome to see. When I saw the price I thought it was outrageous for a GLX but they definitely feel...

Re: Megabass 2023 Orochi X 10 rods

I just got my X10 Bearingdown in today and man that rod is beautiful. The reel seat feels great and I hope that’s something they eventually put on the destroyers. I’ll be taking it out tomorrow so hopefully I’ll lean on a couple with it.

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

How does the 72H compare to the 873 or FMJ for a multipurpose jig and bottom contact rod with a little single hook versatility? Trying to figure out which high end bottom contact has the right blend of excelling at texas rigs and jigs in light to moderate cover as well as deep water, while maybe di...

Exposed Thread Reel Seats

I have a few rods I really like with exposed threads on the reel seat. Is it possible for me to add a form of a lockdown nut onto them without stripping the guides? I was thinking of taking an EVA nut, cutting it down one side than putting it on that way.

Re: new evergreen rod?

The blank looks huge for not being glass but I kind of want to try it.

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?

I didn't think it felt tip heavy with a steez a. Definitely less tip heavy than a NRX+ 873. Here's the balance with a steez a not much different than the curado 70. That’s maybe a 1/4 higher than the xbites and that rod balances perfect with a steez . My FMJ will be here Thursday. Yeah it’s definit...

How's the FMJ balance with something like a Steez A?
It feels perfect with a Steez A. With the finger thing it balances on the wrapping right above the locknut but I don’t have much line on the reel rn.
