  1. from TW really nothing, I had some bad issues with them and never receive an answer, so... But just talking about what I'll give to myself I need a new reel for my jerk rod, so my choice #1 would be Adelbaran 51 HG MGL if I'm able to save extra money, some MB oneten R+1, R+2 and +3 and some tight wobbling crankbait as well.
  2. Hi Mike, I think you made a good decision, Sierra is lighter than Fury and the 5 power should do the job for frogging / pitching very well, hope you'll enjoy Hi Mike, I think you made a good decision, Sierra is lighter than Fury and the 5 power should do the job for frogging / pitching very well, hope you'll enjoy
  3. I own same Fury casting model and I think that for the retail price they are worth it, I love the balance the Fury series has more than the light weight. I agree that compared to other rods their rated power is more than the actually it is. So a Heavy Dobyns it is much like a MH, Fury series has a lot of backbone and a kind of soft but sensitive tip that gradually transmits the power to the 3/4 of the blank. So if you are used to fish with stiff and nervous rods Fury series it's not what you may want. I love my 705CB, great crankbait rod, I find the most versatile for jig, Texas rig and plastic baits in general it is the 734C. I very like them but for jerkbaits specific technique for example I didn't find any rod in the Dobyns with the specs I need, I prefer a stiff tip but a medium power that can just flex near the middle section, so I found St Mojo 6'8 SCIII, the second gen, a good option for its price.
  4. Hi to all of you guys, I'm just getting more specific in my jerkbait technique thanks to bassresource videos, and I recently purchase a St Croix Mojo 6'8 Medium power Extra fast tip, I know it is not the lighter one but I'm really happy with it and, cast very well and the better is how it's reactive in working the baits. I usually throw LC flash pointer 100, staysee 90, MB oneten original, R+1 to R+3, I'm from Spain and here in Europe we can get the R+3 really do not know if it is the same you labelled as +2. Anyway I think the most important aspect it's to have not the lighter combo but the right balance, IMO. Here bass don't grow as in US, so the biggest one can reach at most 9 pounds, so I use very thin braid line in 8 to 10 lbs test and that allows me to avoid leader and I sed the drag accordingly. About the right reel it depends on personal fishing style, I prefer HG to XG gear ratio (7.1 to 8.1) in order to reel slack fast during the twitch. For example I use Chronarch MGL HG to balance my St Croix. A Tatula elite is another good option in the Daiwa brand but I really think the best It is probably Aldebaran HG MGL 50 size spool. MGL spool has almost no start up inertia and helps casting light lures very well. Aldebaran is an expensive choice but if you can afford it, just go!
