Interested in how your assessment of the PB 731MHXF build came out.

What’s your take on optimal lure weights and usage?

Thanks

Recommendation for custom rod builder central states

I would like to have a Point Blank custom BC rod made , and would appreciate a recommendation for a quality builder. I don’t need any fancy thread wraps or bling- maybe some discreet finishing touches re trim rings and carbon or alum reel seat nuts...but looking for someone that has a lot of experie...

Re: G. Loomis GLX Spinning Rod 7'5" Med Hvy 893S Reviews

I just used it yesterday to bank fish my pond with Trig worm and 1/4 oz. weight , just to “refamiliarize” myself with it for this season. I bought it to use for 1/4 oz- 1/2oz jigs 4-5” paddle tails for fan casting & vertical jigging for big walleyes , in Lac Seul Ontario ( I catch many over 25” with...

Re: New GLX 853s vs 893s JWR

Thanks bronze fly,
I really like the action/ power of the nrx 803s JWR but am hoping the new GLX 893s will perform as well with the larger ( 5") trailers that I use and the need for more length. Please let me know your opinion when you receive that rod.
Best regards,
JBP

New GLX 853s vs 893s JWR

Looking at these two rods - is the 893s basically the same , just with added inches in the butt? I would like a longer rod than my current nrx 803s , as I typically stand close to the bow and snap jig for walleye, as well as cast 1/4 >3/8 jigs w/ 4 & 5" Keitech swimbaits. The nrx is great, but I cou...

Re: M1 from Phenix

Greetings Vince,
Do you know if any retailers have received the M1 8' swimbait models yet?
TW doesn't expect theirs until mid December.
I'm hoping to order one during the " black Friday" sales.
Thanks

Suggested reel service work?

Looking for advice on who to send my shimano & Abu reels for cleaning and bearing, drag upgrades.
I know most folks do the work themselves here, but I would like recommendations for good work and reasonable cost.

Vince,
What are the suggested lure weights for the various MBX swimbait/ inshore hybrid rods?
All I find are lb. test ratings.
