Well, my 803C GLX came in today...with a mangled first guide. What a perfect excuse to change my order to the NRX version Scott at monstertackle aka OPS has handled it great so far. I told him I would pay the difference to the NRX (~$65) and then jokingly told him to get them to upgrade me for my inconvenience. He said he would talk to his contact and see what he can do...lol Gore Warning!

I switched to left hand retrieve recently...I am never going back. I don't know why I forced myself to do it differently after growing up using spinning reels exclusively.

Where is the 71?

I have a pair of Fleming Beach Mauis that I bought as non-RX then sent in to RX lenses put into them. Later I got contacts and wanted to be able to wear these, but I realized when I sent them in to have RX lenses put in they did not send back my original non-rx lenses when they returned them. I called, explained, and they sent a set of non-rx lenses to my local Maui RX dealer who swapped them for me at no charge.

1. Just saying 580 is normal 2. Yes, you can just tighten/loosen the screws to get the hinge resistance you desire. 3. Heat up the temple arm with a hair dryer and adjust it until they sit flat when upside down on a table. Yep...That is why I switched to Maui Jim for both my rx and regular. They just sent me a pair of lenses the other week because I had a slight concern with my 3 year old pair.

Sunline Super Natural Mizu Blue.

Thanks! I have used a NRX and it is spectacular...I am sure you will love yours. I am sure they are worth the price difference, especially considering resale. I just knew if I bought one I would want to buy 4...lol. Sorry for going off topic OP. Now get out there and get yourself a Stradic. Either do that trade in at Bass Pro or Amazon has them for $167 shipped.
-
Haha...nope. I fought the monkey off to a tune of 3 GLXs and an IMX...lol.
-
I absolutely love it. I think I actually like it better than my Stradic ci4+.
-
Stradic. Last week I bought a Pflueger Supreme XT...had it for two days and took it back and bought another Stradic.
-
Swap the lines and go with the 7'1" MH with 30# and 5.2:1 You don't "need" anything new, but you might find your hookup percentage better with a moderate action rod.
-
Sssshhhhhhh....
-
I'll give you $40 for the old Stradic.
-
I'm about to see screw it and just pull the trigger.
-
So...when and where can I order one?
-
If...and that is a big IF I was to get a NRX, I would want the most versatile baitcasting rod. I am thinking it would be the Mag Bass 843c. I don't really ever throw anything less than 1/4oz on a casting rod.
-
Ha...In the last two weeks I have bought two Loomis GLX, a Loomis IMX, a Loomis E6X, a St. Croix Avid, and a St. Croix Premier. Not to mention a Metanium and Chronarch ci4+...My debit card is literally on fire. ...but this Spawning season should be a blast.
-
I bet you are going to love it. I am really still fighting the urge to pick one up also.
-
I thought you were looking for a rod. I didn't realize you needed a reel also.
-
Thanks Goose! That is a great idea. I will switch out three of the reds for whites and take it from there. This reel feels incredible. I can't wait to give it a try. I also have a Chronarch ci4+ coming today...it will be interesting to see how they compare.
-
Thanks. I plan on throwing mostly 1/4oz-1/2oz crankbaits with mine. Would you recommend the white or the red brake blocks?
-
You said you may be able to make an exception for price. You can get a 6'10" M/XF St. Croix Rage from their factory store for $90. That is a lot of rod for the money. http://stcroixrods.com/shop/freshwater/rage-spinning-rods/
-
Spinnerbait or topwater.
-
Good rod suggestions...but I hate Floro...put me down as a 100% braid man.
-
Haha...the bait monkey has really gotten hold of me lately. Thanks.
