Lews for me. Have a team lews that I like a lot and will most likely be getting the low speed TP for crankbaits.

Yes. It will stop the braid from slipping on the spool.

Wow your a stand up guy. Buy the way my phone has auto correct. Which obviously failed.

Or you could think like human being for a minute and let people who want to use it a good deal on a real the may already want.

I don't like the ci4 knob either. The eva is ok just don't like the shape. I like the patriarch eva a lot.

I took it as he is cracking the frame. Which is why I said he needs to change what he does.

There's no need for a hookset that will break a reel. That's so beyond overkill its unbelievable. The reels are not the problem you are. You gottta change your ways.

I've never heard of this site. Have you ever used them. I want to order an mgx but would like some feedback from people who have used this site.

The cranking versions are in as well. They are listed under the regular section.

I do not own one but the word on the street is your money will be better spent elsewhere. Based on what I've read about it I don't think you'll even find a daiwa fanboy who will tell you to buy it. The consensus seems to be its a souped up exceller.

Yes, you can use braid with no problems with that combo.

These days it seems most rods and reels can handle braid. Unless you using a $30 wal mart combo you should he ok. What did you want to pit it on?

If your gonna have blind hate for a brand at least spell it right.

Is it only on one rod? If so maybe there is a nick in one of the guides.

In my mind a carbon handle is 99% Bling. If I laid my rod down and it was reel handle down and something fell/stepped on it I wouldn't trust it at all.

[quote name='Tom D.' timestamp='1319732045' post='1041865' Better? I wouldn't go that far, aluminum is strong yet its better at absorbing shock. Can't say the same for carbon fiber. Far as durable goes, I'd stick with aluminum over CF

Yea there rods are all pre-balanced "I think". All I know is what I remember from reading the thread. I don't think its a weight system.

I'm not sure if what they do exactly what your saying, but there is a thread in here about a rod from "6th sense" I believe is the brand. Never heard of it before. They use tungsten somewhere in the rod to balance it. Not sure if its in the blank or not.

Same story here but fewer rods. The veritas is the better rod.

I would be interested. Depending on price and how they look. Can you make swept cf handles?

I use polymer knots for everything but flouro. It's a fact that flourocarbon can cut itself when using a polymer. My logic is its not about the 99/100 that it works its the 1/100 that it doesn't work.

I can't compare it to the umbx or any phenix rod for that matter. This is my first and I'm very impressed. As far as weight goes I do not have a scale to way it with, but it is very light. It's tough to tell in hand but it feels to be lighter than my 7'2 cumara. It also balaces a little better at approximately 3in from the center of the reel seat with a 6.8 oz reel. The tip is soft and works great for weightless plasctics or light t- rigs. It would also do a good job pitching but I think it may be too soft for something like dragging a 1/2 oz football head. Also the fast action is not as fast a the cumara similar to my cabelas XML. Any other questions feel free to ask.

I have the first rod already. It's the 714 and I like it a lot. However its a little under powered in my opinion which leads me to believe the 764 will be too light for froging even here in NY, but I have a feeling the 6 may be too powerful. This is driving me crazy though if they just made the model number 765 I would have already bought it. Maybe I will anyway. I think this rod could be exactly what I need to rekindle my love that I lost for my zillion. Anyway thanks for the help DVT it is appreciated. Maybe ill try calling phenix. If I get an answer ill post back for anyone who cares.

Thanks for trying to help,but we can't seem to get on the same page. Let me try to explain my question better. If 1=L , 2=ML , 3=M , 4= MH across the entire line shouldn't 5=H regardless if the rod is 1 foot or 50 feet?
