I would say the slx mgl is a proven reel. I have 2 slx mgl and had 2 curado 70 mgl reels. I no longer have the curados. I felt the slx felt better in hand and I didn’t see the difference in the extra money for a curado.

I’ve had too many break offs with power pro over the years so I’ve switched to Berkley x5. It’s been flawless. Trying sunline fx2 this year but there really was no need to change.

The Stradic FL is fantastic. You’ll love it. I have 4. I use my 1000 size on my st croix panfish rod. ??

Did they copy 13 Fishings Jabberjaw or did 6th sense release this first? First time hearing of this bait. ??‍♂️

If you go spinning rod. Check out the Megabass Orochi xx Whipsnake. ??

As per their website. “Product Information varies from rod to rod. Only rods since 2019 will have serial numbers. Older rods will have model numbers. Use the instructions below to find the identifying details of your rod.”

I’m thinking of picking up that tatula xt frog rod. Please give an update on it. Thanks.

Try giving abu a call.

Yeah man. I retract that statement. I thought I read that somewhere unless I imagined it or was looking at a diff reel right after. Ha ha. I haven’t checked the site in a bit so definitely confused there. Was curious on this reel though. the mysteries of kastking.

My understand is that it has drag. It’s set at full without adjustment since there no star drag. I think it just acts as if you have your drag cranked down fully 100% of the time. Just weird that they say there is no drag when the site claims it has 22lbs of drag or something. I dunno I forget. LoL but I’ve been known to be wrong. ??‍♂️

Okuma TCS Scott Martin 7’3 Heavy frog/swimbait rod. Okuma Helios 7.3:1 gear reel. 40lbs berkley x5. One of the most versatile rods I’ve ever used. Even though it’s a heavy it covers a ton of bases.

Why’d they suck?

Glad to hear problem resolved and it’s working back to normal. ??

What are the reels with the red handle knobs? Tatula SV?

Oh yeah. Forgot about the Komodo. That was a great series too!

I agree. The Hakai is awesome and the Helios (green colour/TCS) reels were awesome. The rest can be stepped up

i agree! I have 2 slx mgls and had 2 curado 70 k mgls. I enjoyed the slx much more and couldn’t tell a difference with the higher priced reels.

This was going to be my suggestion. I just got one a few weeks ago and they are slick!! Got it from Japan lure shop. they’re around $200. Got a Megabass crankbait as a free gift with it. ??

Hey… anyone have any experience with this rod? Thoughts and feelings about it? Any other uses aside from flipping/punching? thanks!

Better than decent. Makes a good frog rod too.

Now I have an evergreen combat stick - jackhammer rod. It’s glass and rated up to 2oz. Would swimbaits work good with glass rods? Also how are whopper ploppers on glass rods? I haven’t tried that yet.

No problems fishing it with the braid? I got some Gantarel JRs last year and didn’t put much of an effort into them. This year id like to put more of an effort. Didn’t catch a single fish on the lures. I did use braid so now I was just sitting here wondering if maybe I Should switch to fluorocarbon. Which is why I started this topic. I have an evergreen combat stick heavy. I was gonna use that but it’s rated up to 1.5oz. Thought it was 2oz for some reason. So now I’ll have to look at the Okuma TCS-a frog/swimbait rod to toss the Gantarel JRs. also picked up a Gantarel Jr dead rise. Well the Chibatrel dead rise but it’s the same thing. just wasn’t sure which of the many reels I have to use. Maybe ‘19 scorpion mgl? but please everyone keep the comments coming. that’s a good idea. Use the same rod for big ploppers. I haven’t used big game before. It’s not too stretchy being a mono line?

Hey. For those that use the Gantarel Jr. What rod, reel (gear ratio/ipt as well) and line are you using to toss them? thanks

Oh you better believe it brother…
