Awesome handy work!

Hahaha haha that was a funny post. Yea. I also ordered a quantum baitcast reel for real cheap hope it's not the same scenario. I'm gonna strip down the Daiwa and do a moderate clean and lube. Hopefully that helps.

Update* 300 casts or so in and it's getting noisy and a tad rough. Also not a fan of the break control on the outside of the reel. My index finger is moving it during casting so I have to re adjust every 15 casts or so. I'm a right but use left hand reels.

Dobyns 684cb here. I love it! If I could throw crank baits 24/7 I would. Best fishing investment I've made Imo. I have it paired with a Chronarch 201e5 and 17# Abrazx

I meant what kind of baits

What do u wanna throw with the new set up?

Rumor has it they will be revealing Ci4 Stradic with X drive at I cast. I would wait. I own Ci4 and love it. However I've never even held a abu reel. Do plan on trying one out one day.

This rod is awesome!!!!!!!! I can't believe I've slept on BPS rods for this long. I'm very very impressed. I've never even been to a BPS store for the matter lol. Anyhow paired it with the Curado 201g7 and 30# Sufix Braid. Been practicing flipping in the yard targeting random leaves and my accuracy is pretty decent. Can't wait to attempt it from a boat. Anyhow my overall opinion is solid build quality, great balance and the power hump grip is really comfortable. I'm impressed!

In my honest opinion, for the price difference between the clarus and compre new models you are only paying for the higher rated blank. With that said I'm using it for spinner baits exclusively and can feel a Colorado thumping the whole retrieve. If you lived in CT I'd let you use mine all you want.

Clarus is awesome. I have the spinnerbait model with a chronarch. I couldn't tell a difference between this the compre and the crucial. However the cumara is in the whole different league. I say grab it.

I have the quantum accurist spinning combo. Great set up.

Btw didn't end up getting anything on sale technically but only thing I ended up paying for was $47 towards the rod and a pack of keiteks

Love it so much not live it*

Pretty much for free via a return and Cabelas points I grabbed a reel. Checked out a revo, quantum and helios(which is awesome). Ended up grabbing the daiwa aird. Fell in love with the reel after 30 seconds playing with it. Actually I live it so much I grabbed the matching aird rod 6'6 m/f. Don't tell my wife. Lol lol lol

I own the Stradic CI4 in 2500 size. I love it!

Placed order this morning, had a problem with the site last night. Looking forward to trying out this rod. Will be my first BPS product. Also ordered some more AbrazX.

Just want to practice flipping and pitching. I bought a Fenwick 7' MH for this on sale at Cabelas and I think it's not good for the task. So wanna grab a longer than 7 H. Gonna order the rod tonight I think. Stupid 8 shipping through bass pro even with the free shipping promo.. smh

I own E5,6,7 and a 2500 Ci4. On that note if I was going to be upgrading anytime soon I'd be all over them. May end up just grabbing 1 chronarch.

Thanks bro,don't need any reels just the rod. Bass pro has them on sale for either 60 or 70.. Was thinking about ordering one. Just don't want to break the bank on something to practice on but don't want crap either.

Pure awesome! Proud to say I dropped $300 on the new avid surf rod with lifetime warranty.

Looking at the stats seems to be equal to shimano clarus and citica but green like Curado and compre. Any one use these? Good or junk? I suck at flipping hence my longest BC rod is 7'0. So wanna grab something cheap to practice with.

Oops I run the heavier abrazx on a BC and my light invizX on a spinning setup.

I use 17# abrazx for cranking seeing as how it's going to be seeing a lot of obstacles in the water. Then I use 6# InvizX for my finesse i.e. drop shots, 1/16 jigs etc. 2 of my favorite lines and cast great.

Yea just mailed it. I think it's the catch on the anti reverse. I've taken my chronarchs apart before and cleaned them I don't know what the hell I did wrong... smh thanks for input guys

Ok I disassembled cleaned it per shimano instructions plus flushed bearings and re lubed now it's making a severe clucking noise. I took it apart 7-8 times cannot figure out what the deal is. Idk if it's main gear screwed up or roller bearing. This sucks. Gonna just send it in tomorrow.
