So... Is it necessary to purchase a Side Imaging Humminbird unit to combine with an Ultrex with built in down imaging transducer built in? Am I still able to use the Side Image with Mega DI built in. All vids/info I have seen is how much it improves DI and Chirp Sonar. Purchased the Ultrerx on Black Friday. Now looking for what electronics to pair with it. Thanks for any info you may provide.

Not showing up for me. Link?

Replacing a GLX. Definitely didn’t need it, but been looking at her for some time now. I am a sucker... haha.

Thank you! Much appreciated. Daemos on it’s way to TN.

Hello, I am looking for any info, and/or feedback on the Oneten Special from the 2017 Destroyer series. What do you like/dislike. Do you prefer a different stick Also what other applications can you use this rod for outside of jerkbaits. Not what you can get away with, but what it performs well at. Topwater?

I will be purchasing some higher end electronics for the boat, and wanted to know if they run sales at any time of the year. Do you see good deals during Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Leaning towards Humminbird Solix die to its connectivity with the Ultrex. I have not been in the market so I haven’t watched prices. Any help is appreciated! I am in no hurry if it saves me some money.

Great feedback. Thank you. Went with the 822DSR. I have an Enigma spinning rod I use for tubes, senkos, shaky head, etc. with a CI4+. Picked up an NRX 853C casting rod last year with a Curado on it for the other plastics. I don't know much about custom equipment. I feel like technique specific rods are somewhat the same as asking for exactly what you want. There are so many to review that there is little between. For me it's that I don't know enough to know exactly what I want. Like buying a new car, or a custom. I know how to drive, and what I want it to do. Not exactly how all of that happens.

I think I am going with the Tatula LT. There is a really neat Limited Edition Sterling Silver version. Only 800 made. Thought it was a cool variant and could always use on another rod if I don't like it. Also right now of you buy a Tatula you get a free Daiwa/Huk shirt. The rod choice will be the NRX. I decided to go with a medium power based off a lot of research. Will do 12 lb braid to 8lb flouro. Any thoughts are appreciated, and thanks for all the info everyone provided.

So you are saying it's a good rod, but overpriced correct? I was shopping it based on reviews and having 25% off. Would you have any recommendations outside of the two rods I have my eye on?

I have a CI4 2500 on my weightless worm setup. Was wondering if where is anything else out there that outperfoms it, or better fits the drop shot application. AND if there is anything new like the Tatula spinner that I think weighs less. Good info on retrieve rate. I appreciate it.

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a good spinning reel for drop shotting without paying for a Stella. What would be the best spinning reel in your opinion below a Stella for drop shotting? I assume drag, weight, and balance are all important here. I am looking at pairing it with a Nrx 822DSR or an Addermine. So if you want to add your comments to the rod as well please feel free.

Thank you to everyone here. We are organizing a huge collection. My wife's brother passed away unexpectedly in January. It was awful. I don't have the expertise, and all of this info is greatly appreciated.

Rico's didn't last long, and saw lower prices on the Seaguar lines that I wanted. Smackdown.

The ones in the final picture have no markings. I was wondering if all megabass lures have markings. Sorry for the confusion. The dates I said are from the others with markings on them. They all have lure info and dates.

All of these have been sitting in boxes for years. I would say at the earliest they would be late 90's early 2000's. The loose "Megabass cranks" are the only ones out of the box of Megabass lures to not have markings on the top of them. That's why I didn't know what they were. So if they don't have that marking on the top they are knockoffs? Model, year, and Japanese symbol in eye.
