Thank you so much Sam!! Tight Lines

Thank you Sam. It is part of a river that leads into a smaller lake. The general location is in the suburbs of Chicago.

Hi. I am fishing a tournament next week for school. Today we had about 4-7 inches of snow but not all of it stuck. The past week has been hovering in the 60’s with a few days of 70’s. The day of the tournament is calling for 62 degrees with some rain and the entire week is supposed to rain. The water conditions are stained-murkey and it doesn’t get deeper than 15 feet but mainly between 4-5 feet. It is a soft bottom with some weeds underwater. What kinda baits should I use? Thanks

There’s always St Croix if you want high end. I have the legend tournement and the avid X. If you are looking for an all around rod, there’s a company called G-Rods that make rods out of graphene. I have one and love it, it’s extremely sensitive and worth every penny.

I used reelmagic for awhile and never noticed a difference. I always thought kvd was better

Hello all, I am looking to get a 7 ft heavy rod for frogs and punching at the bass pro spring classic. What would be on everyone’s reccomendation? I’ve been looking at the St Croix Mojo bass or Bass X, or a Shimano SLX. Thanks Pat

By the way, I ordered the Metanium yesterday. I would think that with this being a $400 reel that it shouldn’t have these problems. I just had it sent back and got a refund

Thank you! I just purchased the metanium MGL online about 20 minutes ago.

Alright thank you. I think I’m gonna order the Metanium from there. Only concern is what you said about the “main gear being brittle”, how long would it last if I don’t change the gear? I’ll be honest, I’m not the best at assembling things.

Thank you again everyone, my only concern is that they don’t have warranty’s on reels shipped to America? Is that true? I found it on this forum

Is that website to be trusted? I looked there and all of the prices are in Yen.

Good to see you again Stephan, Is it the Curado that has the Aluminium Gears? I changed my mind to now between the Metanium and Chronarch.

The chronarch is the other one I’m considering.

So in two days I went from looking at the Curado K to now seriously considering getting the Metanium. Is it worth the 400$ or should I pass?

So I’m getting a crankbait combo and I’m stuck between these two reels. For the rod I have a 7’2”, Medium Power, Moderate action, St Croix Legend Tournament Bass.What reel is preferred for crankbaits? Tight lines Patrick
