I don't think that you can go wrong with any of these choices. I'm putting mine on a phenix recon 683 & moving my alderbaran bfs to the 682 or a volkey.
-
Phenix maxim 7'3 med/light 1/8 to 1/2 might work for you.
-
I have the 683 recon. I like it pretty well. Thinking of getting the 682 for small cranks.
-
Love my team gold. I'm very much interested in the team lite.
-
The spool design is made to handle light braid. It was made for the Australian brimm market.
-
The major craft rod is rated 1/3 to 2 oz. It's a 7'6 mf. I was looking into the rod myself. But that's all I know as they just came out. I guess it's a little longer than you would like.

I know how the jdm bait monkey works. I got a alderbaran bfs & next thing you know I want a scorpion 1000xt. And I got to put it on a major craft volkey. The bfs is so much fun, I'm putting it on a phenix 683 recon. With the avail shallow spools they are so versatile.

Agree. I have the 734. Ilke it a lot but for A rigs I would probably get the 765.
-
I agree with jhoffmam
-
Awesome looking reel.

PAGreg Today, 04:27 PM Personally, I like having both centrifugal and magnetic brakes for pitching/flipping. Just a bit more control of the lure entering the water and backlashes. The super duty has only magnetic brakes. Super duty also seems a bit overkill for that application. Thus, I'm using a tournament mb in 8.3:1 ratio and used the money saved to get a bb1 pro for deep cranking. I thought the same
-
The tp has carbon fiber handles, duralumin spool an I thinking gearing also. The tournament mb is the version that is similar to the tp minus the duralumin .

I got one in January , love mine. Hadn't had a chance to fish with it yet. Right now I have it on a old powell diesal with 8lb pline cx premium and have been tossing 1/8 dropshot weights with it. I'm impressed with the distance I'm getting. Still looking for the right rod for it. It impressed me enough to think about getting a scorpion 1000xt.
-
Might be the reel. I don't have a distance problem with my mg

I am a fan of Lunkerville also. Great show
