Here's another equally blurry pic

In love with this setup.

I've had to deal with their warranty department and the experience was top notch. My KLX snapped a couple guides down on a cast. I contacted Kistler and they told to me to cut the handle off the rod and only send that to them. This cut costs on shipping the rod way down (to about $7) and they sent me a new replacement very quickly. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from them, you'll love the KLX.

My first choice would be a Kistler KLX. 2nd choice would be a Phenix Recon 2.

First year building confidence on topwater, but the topwater bite has been on post spawn.

My external dial is also pretty stiff, but I think I prefer it that way. Also, I noticed that the external brake settings actually do make a difference whereas on the Curado I can barely tell the difference. So far I'm loving this reel.
-
Thehooligan what size are the bearings that you put in? Hedgehog says they're both 3x10x4 but I took out the bearing under the cast control knob and it looks thinner than the other bearing.
-
Could it also possibly be the brakes? I know I have experienced a whining noise, though while casting, due to not oiling the lip/barrel or whatever that contacts the brakes. It's even in the instruction manual. If it's on the retrieve I'm not sure, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Sweet! Congrats on the new boat. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you get a chance to play around with it. It's at the top of my list and i'm almost ready to pull the trigger. Do any of you guys frog pitch or punch mats from a kayak? Theres a small local reservoir thats perfect for kayaks and fishing these techniques. I can easily imagine falling over easily on a hookset punching heavy mats.

I'm looking to join the club soon. Saving for a Ride 115x

I was in a similar situation and I narrowed it down to the Phenix Recon 2 and the ***. I went with the recon and love it, but I bet the *** would also be a great choice and its in your budget.

My favorite new setup. This combo is sweet

I spend probably more than I should, but I don't regret or feel guilty about a single cent.

Got one this week on a Phenix Recon2. It's spooled with 10lb braid and casts great. I'm throwing neko rigs with 3/64 oz nail weights to 1/8 neko sinkers and it casts them all great.

Had a great experience with Japan Lure shop. Great prices and fast shipping
-
Shame about the price increase. Still a great value and one of the best rods in that price point.
-
Last October, me and my buddy caught the same fish within an hour of each other. We knew it was the same one because it had a deformed lateral kink down its body.
-
Definitely go on USPS and print out a shipping label. Much cheaper than anywhere I've looked including the post office haha
-
Oh boy. Impulse bought an aldebaran bfs xg. So obviously i need a rod to pair with it. I guess a phenix recon2 713ML is also on the way.
-
4" Senko wacky rigged is deadly for me
-
I have a Dobyns DX742sf on the way and I'm super excited.

Picked up a Helium 3 casting rod recently to celebrate getting a new job. Unfortunately working full time doesn't give me much time to fish any more...

Okuma Guide Select swimbait rod Kistler Z-bone ... and a double digit! Or just the double digit fish.
