I asked my local dealer and he wasn't sure about the gears. So it must be secret lol

More around IMX not GLX. I agree with you about a lot of options out there. Lots of other options.

I'll pass on a Helium at $350. Better options IMO at the price point

Im sure Megabass will put out a great product. Always do!

LOL! You are my hero

I agree the Daemos is a sweet rod! Right on Rich. However, I would say Daemos as the OP states a step up from his 852C JWR, I would say Daemos all day. The FMJ has even more power than a NRX 854C JWR. Think the FMJ would be overkill but best of luck to the OP

I would take a good look at the Expride. Its a sweet rod. One of my favorite for sure.

I would suggest the NRX 873, Expride 7'6 H, Megabass Destroyer Valdivia, Steez AGS 7'6.

How big of Carolina rigs do you plan to throw? What budget do you have in mind? I typically stay with Shimano, G Loomis, Daiwa, St Croix, Megabass. Not a fan of ALX

The FMJ shines with 1/2+ oz. IMO from the range you provided the Daemos would be better suited. The Daemos is very capable of handling jigs, swim jigs, etc. The Daemos will handle the lower range better and the FMJ will handle 1/2-3/4 oz better

IMO the braid is the issue. I don't recommend braid on casting reels unless 30 lb+. Braid of that small of diameter likes to dig into itself. Also ensure you have adjusted the DC module as well as the spool tensioner

Im itching for one lol. Sounds like an excellent rod!

Lol ?. We can talk about those Zodias. I am curious about those Poison Adrenas though. They have my interest.

Went to my local tackle shop and felt the new Poison Adrena rod and all I can say is wow!!!! Anyone fished them yet? If so, which model do yall find the most interesting. Im seriously considering them but curious if anyone has fished them. Thanks! EF

I wasn't belitting. I apologize if it came off that way. I wouldn't do that to someone. I wished him great luck on his rod and told him to let us know how he liked it. Sorry if it read wrong. I didn't mean it as being mean. I didn't read that he couldn't swing the more expensive rod. Best of luck to him on his rod. St Croix is a great company and im sure it will serve you very well. I apologize to anyone who took it wrong and the gentlemen who bought the rod.

$100 before the Black Friday sale that would put a BRAND NEW with full warranty at $200 so $50 extra you could have a perfect rod that wasn't B stock and have full warranty

Why would you buy a B stock rod with a extremely reduced warranty? I would have recommended just getting the rod at discount with full warranty. Well worth the extra coin IMO. But goodluck and let us know how you like it

Not going down that road again with Kistler.

Remember why Kistler went to NFC for blanks because the blanks Kistler used before broke left and right and then Kistler refused to warranty the rods. Personally, I wont be buy there product

Versatility goes to MBR. FMJ has more power though

I own both and prefer the NRX. Its more sensitive in my hands. I'd opt for the NRX.

Absolutely. It is an awesome rod!

Great rod! I really like the Chronarch MGL but the DC is nice too. You can't go wrong.

I dont like ALX at all. All of my buddies sold theres as well. Around 150, I would recommend a Dobyns Fury, St Croix Mojo, Shimano Intenza, Phenix Feather. Those are the best in that price range.

Full cork!
