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…

Love that zillion.

Go with what feels right. And if there is a promotion. Even better

Oh good to know! Thanks. I was looking at the 7’3 H/XF to pick up for myself next week and I’m sure in my searches most recommended the 7’4 H because the 7’3HXF is more of a MH+. Good chart find too. Thanks

I think the 7’4 Heavy would be better for frogging.

Should be which one feels better to you. Not what looks better on paper. All gear is different to everyone. ??‍♂️ stop looking at your bank account. ?

The fish don’t care.

Great! Thanks for the help. Have one in the mail. LoL. Already have 5 zillions so I guess I can get another slx in the line up

Anyone get any real world fishing on this reel yet? I’m at a toss up of getting one of these or another 21 zillion sv. ?

? I had the curado 70 mgl as well and sold both and kept my slx mgl 70s. I felt they worked better for me and felt better to me. Didn’t need the curados.

Happens to the best of us brother. I hope you find a good solution.

this right here would be my suggestion.

This ever get resolved??

Fantastic rod. At least the Scott Martin version was. I’d imagine this is the same. Used to use it for everything. Just take one rod out and it would be that one. I mostly used it for t-rigs and topwater and chatterbaits. Used it with an Okuma Helios (the green and black one) with 30lbs braid.

How are you liking the BPS panfish rod? I love my st croix panfish series rods but curious on the bps panfish.

Think he meant tatula 200 and curado 200

hmmmm…. Maybe I’ll have to try one. Looking for a new 1000 size reel.
