I own both reels and personally the DC isn't that special to me. Aside from being able to cast into the wind pretty well i see no other benefit. If you have a well trained thumb then the regular Metanium will be fine.

i have 2 zodias 172MH and the balance is perfect with the shimano core and metanium. I can't speak for the 172m though.

haha i know but just stating my opinion. i never said the dx is more sensitive because obviously the nrx is more sensitive but i like the feel of the dx rods more is what i meant.

texas rigged 4" hand poured finesse worm with a 1\16 oz weight on 7lb test

For me its the IMA flit 120. Sold all my vision 110s & LC pointers and currently fish all flits.

Well the pic didn't come out how i wanted but you can click on it. Just a few swimbaits.

Awesome, i hope they're as good as the originals. Can't wait until they go up for sale.

R2S biggie Megabass s crank Lc fat bds 3 I only throw 3 square bills

I own a zonda 68 rosso as well and have compared it to the daiwa 105 with the same line, bait and rod. There is a noticeable difference.

I can't speak for the DX702 HP but I do have 2 of the old DX702s for dropshotting and would not trade them for any other rod(ok, maybe for new hp rods). I do have experience with the new DX742C HP though and it is an all around better rod than the old DX line. I also have experience with the NRX and personally don't like it. I'm actually trying to sell it and replace the 894NRX with a DX745 HP. The NRX is sensitive but I like the way the DX rods feel more.

Storm Arashi squarebill. Put many hours fishing it and not a single fish. I love squarebill too, just not this one.

I have access to a fluid bed. Ill be trying that out. Thank you.

I have around 40 to do haha. Thank you for the advise!

if i were to powder paint them would I just use Pro Tec powder paint?

I have multiple chatterbait said with silver blades and I would like to know to turn them black. I was thinking about just painting them but I don't know how durable it will be. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Largest for me was the roman made mother

Deps 250 BB trout

Sold the 2 new style 250s and bought 2 OG biwa masu's and an OG natural saiko to replace the injected ones. Have 8 wood punkers, tons of hudds, slammers, triple trouts and Swavers not shown

Where to start? I have 15 OG deps 250s I've paid between $80-$300 for. Paid $375 for one hinkle trout and $500 for the other. $400 for a roman made mother trap. $160 each for 2 hinkle shads. Retail for all of my BGC baits and the rest

it was set back due to the issues with the 3M resin being bought. I've played with the zayta at an expo and all I can say is that it's an unbelievable rod

I've used my zonda for jerkbaits on 15lb test and a dobyns 704cb

Whacked my self on the chest once with a 2oz weight. Left a nice bruise.

I had around 26-27lbs with a 8.7lb kicker

For me it's : Mother F***** F*** If it's a giant, then following the slur of colorful words is me throwing the rod at the console

I just got back from there. A lot on beds and lv500 bite was good
