Bandersnatch

I’ve got two beautiful jabber jaws that catch exactly zero fish

Sounds like moss green. I can’t hardly line watch the black at all.

I can’t imagine throwing more than 1/2oz jig on my conquest 844. To me, it’s certainly not a “big jig” rod.

What do you mean you “built out” an 844 to 7’2?

Which one do you guys prefer ?

Same, I have several rods I’ll use a heavy jig on but I’ve been finding my 73 XH is quite versatile. Amazing frog rod but will also throw a lightly weighted six inch Texas rigged senko, power worm, speed worm and big jig on it. Fantastic rod that you’ll never wonder if you needed more power with. I actually wish they made it with a full cork handle.

Free under their 5 year warranty, you will need to send them the rod and they send it back like new. I can ship a rod under $20

I had a similar experience with 40lb smackdown. I have moved on

Tachyon shaft is my favorite rod. Very sensitive, fun to throw

It says 8-110. How much 18lb shooter would it hold. Is there a conversion table ?

Neither of those reels are good matches for 17-20lb flouro

I personally love the 70 sized reels but they just typically don’t have the spool capacity to handle 17-20lb line. What other reels are out there that are small in hand but have a deep enough spool? I have several zillions but I’d prefer to keep additional reels around $200 or less. 100 sized reels seem about right on but wondering what your thoughts are. I’m considering the curado mgl 150 but I typically haven’t enjoyed the size of the 150 or larger reels such as the metanium b, cronarch mgl, or curado 200k. Is the curado 150 mgl smaller than the metanium and how would it compare to the zillion g in size ? any help is appreciated

Reach out to daiwa for repair. Daiwa has been great to me repairing ags guides

Agreed, the muse rods are just nice darn rods. I like them better then their $150 more envy black 2 series

I too have started with shrink tubing. I enjoy the grip. Don’t get me wrong, fresh cork is better but the heat shrink is nice too Yes Yes Many rods. My steez rods come with it as well as my conquests/NRX rods and Megabass P5s if I remember correctly

He’s getting me a replacement for free. My question is how do you think the new emtf that is 7’2.5 will fish. Id like to use it as apposed to junk it.

Looking to pick up u40 without paying $16 or a big shipping fee. Amazon is $16 and tackle warehouse is $6 but needs shipping. You guys know who else carry’s it?

I had one. It’s a nice rod and really nice for $200

I don’t think we need to give midway any thoughts on these not being considered open box

It was pinched in a door at a dealer when replacing a guide.

Awesome, thank you!

. Mine will be paired up with a steez ct sv with a 100mm paddle handle. What did you enjoy throwing on yours ? I’m excited to compare it to my Megabass tachyon shaft.

One of the most versatile rods out there’s. It’s obviously a great moving bait rod but I like to throw paddle tail swim baits, Texas rigs and heavy 3/4oz jigs on braid to leader

Found a marketplace steal on a jdm 6’6 posion adrena 3/8 - 1oz MH for another skipping and pitching rod. At 3.8oz it’s only a tenth of an ounce heavier than my 783c conquest that’s only rated to 3/4. I think this thing should be a fun stick.

I recently had a guy break the top two inches off of my Orochi XX EMTF 7’5 F5 and is having it replaced. He’s giving me back the broken one with a new tip on it but it will obviously be two inches shorter. At its original condition I believe the EMTF is one of the best most versatile rods there is. It’s got a soft enough tip to launch anything but it’s got a ton of power and still good sensitivity. I’m wondering what your guys thoughts are on how it would fish two inches shorter and if it’s still useable. Obviously it will be closer to 7’3 and it will have less of a soft tip and the top inches are gone. just wondering if you think it’s useable and if so does what it’s used for change? Any input is appreciated.
