problem is there’s none in stock of either at the store lol, but i do have an XT so i know how an SLX would feel like, and i do have a spinning set up a shimano stradic, but if i get the SLX i’d save about 80 bucks for other gear anyway, can’t go wrong either way, just want that LFS gone tho, fished with it today, and for some reason when i was reeling in, i felt the reel just seized for a second or two and i had to like jam it to get it reeling again ?

even if i wanted to try it out they only have RH lol

cant get the MGL, it’s not on dicks sporting, but i would love to get it in the future, the color way is amazing on it cant get the MGL, it’s not on dicks sporting, but i would love to get it in the future, the color way is amazing on it I mean, i fish pretty light, most of the time i stay in the 1/4 1/2 maybe 5/8 range most of the time with soft plastics n finesse jigs and lipless cranks/ wakes (just naming what i’ve been using as of late) heaviest i throw that i can think of is maybe the baby bull shad and a chatterbait with a paddle tail on it but that’s really about it

funny you said soup, because my slx xt someone spilled soup on it ? 50? isn’t it like 80?, but i get what you mean, and when you say hold up in value, you mean trading/selling value later on? i’d totally just get the slx if it wasn’t for the colors, i have the XT already, but the colors are just something else lol I have to exchange it with something available at Dicks Sporting since i had this giftcard and code for a “courtesy adjustment” since they messed up badly on an order

Okay, so after fishing with the LFS for a few weeks now, i’m not completely sold on it, the thumb bar sometimes jams on me, and the reeling just sometimes feels like sand is stuck in it and it’s grinding, so right now i can either exchange it for another LFS (maybe i got an unlucky one) or exchange for SLX or pay difference for a Curado K... so is the curado K worth the extra money or is the SLX the better buy? I’m leaning more towards the curado simply for the looks of it, and i heard it’s extremely smooth.

Hey so, i found someone who needs to get rid of their lightly used zillion because of financial reasons and they are willing to let it go for 150, is this reel a good reel? plus what should i look for in a second hand reel to ensure i’m not getting screwed with something that is broken lol

Lol true, but i just meant cheaper as in the lower end, but then again “you get what you pay for” that sounds pretty cool, i’ll check that out

So based off the picture then it should be roughly half the length when disassembled, should be 3’3 to 3’6 ish, but when the rod goes together you just push it in? how far do i put it in/ does it easy come apart, i’m scared i’m fishing and somehow the rod falls apart ?

quick question where does the rod actually separate? I want a 7 ft but i think i might get 6’6 and under so it can mostly fit in my backpack for travel, but does anyone have a picture of an aird x rod in half, do most 2 piece rods separate in the same spot

Simple green is safe on plastics/magnetic brakes too? Also how do i clean magnetic brakes? just wipe down? And no oil/grease

this? So i just spray it on and then use a toothbrush and wipe off with a cloth? https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Ardent_Reel_Kleen/descpage-ARRK.html?from=basres&msclkid=fb46d74a9c1f1aa84ccb8887ac0ce539&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping - Fishing Accessories&utm_term=4580084407167486&utm_content=Shopping%3A Reel Care, Covers, Maintenance %26 Components

I was reading on some older forums about people using Dawn Dish Soap to degrease and clean the insides since it’s safe in plastics/ degreases, but i read that people said to use non-detergent ones? And is Dawn safe on magnetic brakes? And if i’m not mistaken for magnetic brakes you don’t oil or anything (just keep clean and dry) since it uses pulls of the magnetic and nothing rubs? Overall, is it okay/ good to use Dawn and does anyone use it for cleaning?

i guess it seems like for the price the AIRD X rod is good, but no one has any reviews on the kast king perigee? it’s like 10 bucks cheaper on amazon then the AIRD, if it’s the same quality, but the AIRD nonetheless is pretty cheap too for how good it sounds

i’ll check it out, how much less sensitive is the 2 piece? i remember you mentioning that you have the aird x

Hey so i was thinking of getting a cheap/decent rod i don’t have to be so careful with/ when i travel with my family since we always pack a lot and the last two times my rod kept having to be pushed against a lot of stuff and it wasn’t protected, so i was wondering any good rods 70 and under, preferably two piece so i can fit it in the car better, i was looking at the kast king perigee 2 piece rod on amazon and it’s 53 bucks i believe, it has good reviews but wanted some more opinions
