For better balance you may need to go up to the Zbone, lol.

Saw a youtube video of trey saying this was his favorite helium model. Anyone have expereince wit it? Can it handle keitechs and smaller jigs?

JM Platinum, over Chronarch MGL.

13 Inception, IMO. It is way, way smoother then other reels in the same price point I have handled. It is also very compact, light, and castable.

How do you like the new levantes?

They are rated a M-MF although I know megabass has some unique tapers. I am looking for something a little less stout and more sensitive than my 734.

Does this blank behave in the same way across the Levante, Orochi, and Destroyer lines. Specifically asking if the uses of the Javelin are the same as the XX and Levante EMTF, all of which are rated the same. The destroyer line does not have an EMTF and braillist split like the other two, so I am wondering if the javelin is more versatile.

To me a 40 yard cast is long. On a 76mh frog rod I can cast over that, with shorter spinnerbait rods I throw 30 at the most.

To me it means a very smooth feel when you turn the handle.

Curado is much more refined IMO.

Update: So I recieved my Champion 734 today and was somewhat disappointed by its balance, which isn't any better then my $85 No. *** 76MH.

Could you do so? Tackletour did a review of the Javelin and said that it was tip heavy when paired with a chronarch.

Holding up very well for me.

Any idea how they compare to the expride?

Only a few models shown on TW right now. The 73MH looks like an absolutely sick jig rod.

Whatever rod you throw a spinnerbait on. For me a 6'9''-7'0'' MHMF paired with a 6.2:1 reel.

For those weights Tat SV. I prefer the curado but as others said it is not great for a senko or anything lighter.

true. And i think cashion.

I prefer cork or EVA-never used winn. What rods use winn grips besides BPS and lews?

I agree.

Lol that is amazing!

The favorite defender and big sexy LFG models have a $30 price premium for the name of a youtuber on it.

A chronatch or metanium so either 6.5 or 6.2 oz.

either another chronarch or a JDM metanium.

If those models are well balanced I assume that the 7' medium will be too.
