Appreciate the update. That reel seat is a panty-dropper.

I've also eyeballed this rod. I just can't seem to pull myself away from using a 6' rod. The only reason I'm even thinking of going a hair longer is due to the limited short rod market. I used 6' m avids for several years and then to sjr723imx's. Some flavor would be nice. Buying two more 6' imx's i...

What's the scoop on these?

Those new hp's look nice. You had a tournament in january? Crap...

How about just using a reel locking nut instead of the cork nub like the dobyns and x7 have.

X2. I've brandished many different things that I felt compelled to let people know what I paid. I realize it shouldn't matter.

Always 8lb sniper.

Can the black steez sv105 spool be purchased through any parts dealers?

I like the size...looks to be aimed at concept A buyers.

There was a thread going about the XT with a couple of folks owning one. I've seen one member post regarding the 8' ags but that's about it. I'd like to hear from more folks that have pulled the trigger on the ags, as I'm eyeing the 7'6" heavy

All I know is if you moved the reel seat up on the nrx throughout the line 3/4" or 1" matching mbr lengths you'd have the best of both worlds. I'll never understand why loomis shortened the handles on the nrx line. By the time the zlx is introduced your reel will be able to double as a fightin' butt.

There are a few baits that were discontinued during my hiatus, but this is probably the most surprising. Are people really paying $25-$40 for nib rc's? Seems like they are selling the same thing without his name. If they discontinue the bds series that would be a different story.

1st gens are mag V reels. I say I prefer mag v over z, but the only z' s I have owned were my old fuegos, so not a fair comparison I guess.

I've seen many cigarette 1's on the water, but not this extreme. Twin 1075's :shock: https://m.facebook.com/Stevenfe/posts/pcb.522308837936737/?photo_id=10153743130266228&mds=%2Fphotos%2Fviewer%2F%3Fphotoset_token%3Dpcb.522308837936737%26photo%3D10153743130266228%26profileid%3D1667748894%26source%3D...
