Re: new evergreen rod?
I can't find any info on this, was it on social media somewhere?
Re: new evergreen rod?
Maybe it's one of the Synergy rods. Think I saw him talk about one of those before.

Re: new evergreen rod?
I was thinking this too, or the leopard he is so fond of is red as well.
If it is a new evergreen USA series, I hope they replace the acs reel seat with an ecs. I like the usa rods but could never get used to the acs. I really enjoyed the gizmo special rod as well, would’ve kept it if it had a forward type grip like the other spinning rods

Re: new evergreen rod?
I follow Brett Hite Fishing on Instagram and he hasn't mentioned anything about either new Evergreen USA rods or a "red" rod he is using so I'm certain it's either a Synergy or the Leopard rod that is being referenced by the OP.evilcatfish wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 5:21 amI was thinking this too, or the leopard he is so fond of is red as well.

I also agree that I prefer the ECS reel set far more than the ACS reel seat. All of my custom-built casting rods feature the ECS reel seat exclusively and of course, all of the EG Kaleido Inspirare, Orion, and Phase rods that I own feature the ECS reel seat as well.
Please have a great day!

Re: new evergreen rod?
He has it up on his Instagram now, looks like a limited edition jackhammer rod. Kind of ugly looking…City17Banner wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 8:18 amI follow Brett Hite Fishing on Instagram and he hasn't mentioned anything about either new Evergreen USA rods or a "red" rod he is using so I'm certain it's either a Synergy or the Leopard rod that is being referenced by the OP.evilcatfish wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 5:21 amI was thinking this too, or the leopard he is so fond of is red as well.

Re: new evergreen rod?
Thank for the heads up! I just saw that come through on his IG feed. I'm not giving up my EG Dire Wolf casting rods, besides the awful looking reel seat on the "Super Combat Stick" looks like it would hurt to use for any amount of time!evilcatfish wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 6:48 pmHe has it up on his Instagram now, looks like a limited edition jackhammer rod.

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

Re: new evergreen rod?
I knew they were coming out with a new Jack Hammer rod a few months ago when I talked to Ben from THUT. I was asking why he didn't stock JDM Evergreen rods and he let the cat out of the bag by accident. It might be worth trying. There's not many rods out there for $450 that have titanium Fuji guides.

Re: new evergreen rod?
Did he say anything about the JDM EG rods when you asked? Considering some of the other JDM rods they've brought over, I thought EGs may come eventuallyHobeyBaker wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 2:54 pmI knew they were coming out with a new Jack Hammer rod a few months ago when I talked to Ben from THUT.

He didn’t. I’d guess they’re very hard to source in quantities.evilcatfish wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 4:58 pmDid he say anything about the JDM EG rods when you asked?

Evergreen released a limited edition JackHammer rod for the Classic.

Yep, thats the one we are discussing. Wish he'd chose a different reel seatJohnny A wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:41 amEvergreen released a limited edition JackHammer rod for the Classic.
