I’ve been fishing the 6’11 M+ with 30 and 40lb braid to a 14lb mono leader via Alberto knot. No issues.Bassforce1 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:31 pmNot much mention on guides in this thread so far.
Was just curious about their size and if anyone is using braid to leader on the casting rods.

Re: New Poison Adrena
there is a for sale section toward the bottom of this forum...
Re: New Poison Adrena
Quick update, entire monocoque handle has some coating, both matte and shiny parts. The coating started to delaminate on my stick in two spots. It is my most heavily used rod, but still...
I think I will stick with cork or eva from now on.

Re: New Poison Adrena
this almost reminds me of the t-wing grooving issue a while back. the question is, is this an outlier or will it slowly become the norm
would u say u're the type that's careful with ur equip by babying it or pretty rough in general? i have my thoughts but would rather hear from the horse's mouth
Re: New Poison Adrena
I am rough on all my gear, but that does not make it ok. I have heavily used $50 aird x with cheap eva that barely shows signs of wear beyond dirt.Chode wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 10:54 am

The butt section on adrena is beyond cosmetics as it gives grip. I am very dissapointed to find out it is coating, rather than change in texture of handle material.

Re: New Poison Adrena
I really wanted to like the PA rods but sold mine. The handles feel cheap and very fragile. My locking nut also would not stay tight. Id go with expride if Shimano is your choice. Sweet sticks though just not for me.

Re: New Poison Adrena
That's not a good look on Shimano. Quite literally
Re: New Poison Adrena
I really like(d) this stick but if I knew my handle would be delaminating from 'my' normal use I would not get it. I was under the impression that "carbon handle" would be more resitant than cork or eva foam, wrong I was. Too bad I bought it on ebay, otherwise I would start a warranty claim as it is less than 1 year old.

Re: New Poison Adrena
Was it a auction or from a legit seller? I bought one from sheltons outdoors on ebay and got the warranty on a red cumara
Re: New Poison Adrena
Legit seller based in ga, I emailed them and awaiting response. Did you go through the seller or directly to shimano?bronzebacks wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:57 pmWas it a auction or from a legit seller? I bought one from sheltons outdoors on ebay and got the warranty on a red cumara

Re: New Poison Adrena

Re: New Poison Adrena
Ok, I will attempt the same and report back whenever I get some response.

I am thinking about getting a 7.2 Medium for throwing 1/2-5/8 walking baits? Any thoughts?

Re: New Poison Adrena
Imo you would be better off with the 7'2" heavy for those weights
