Very cool! I like that a lot! Thank you for such detailed pictures!

Just curious, how can you tell the difference between hand pour or injected?

Exactly this.

Ok, that’s what I thought. It’s a carbon reel seat but it’s painted so it doesn’t have the carbon look. Thank you!

Thank you!

Can anyone post a picture of the reel seat? It says it’s carbon so I’m curious if it looks like carbon or is it just shiny black. Talking about this part:

That’s impressive. These have really piqued my curiosity. To be clear, are you talking about the NFC blank helium? Also, does anyone know where these are made? Just curious!

Which frame is this? The regular ct frame? How different from the a2 and the sv?

I would think these would get hung up in grass more than a standard straight shank hook. I’m curious to hear what people who have used them have to say.

@PBBrandon

Any pics?

Thank you! Would you say the okuma is more sensitive/crisper than the champion extreme? I’m thinking of getting a new senko rod and was planning on getting a champion extreme 743, but if the okuma x is more sensitive than it seems like a no brainer. How’s the balance on the okuma compared to Dobyn’s?

How does the sensitivity compare to other rods? What would you compare it to?

Thank you!

Really! So are you saying they’re roughly equal? Or is the X-series more sensitive? Are you talking about the champion extreme HP or the older champion extreme? Oh and what models of each are you comparing? Thank you so much! How does the X series compare to various st Croix and kistler rods?

Any pics of the slim zako compared to the normal zako?

Darn. I’m really interested in these rods but I’m having a hard time finding anyone who has experience with the okuma and the Dobyn’s. I just want to make sure the okuma isn’t a downgrade compared to the Dobyn’s champ extreme.

Where do you get the Japanese assemblies?

Thank you! How is the action compared to the Ned bomb? I almost exclusively use the spunk shad but the Ned bomb does look interesting.

Anybody?

Ouch! I’m really curious how these compare sensitivity wise to the steez ags.

Do you have any experience with the Dobyn’s champion extreme? I’m really curious how the sensitivity on the Okuma x compares to the Dobyn’s champion extreme.

Looking forward to hear what you think about the real control rod!

Thanks! Can’t wait to watch later!

Anyone know how the Ned bomb compares to the spunk shad?
