I agree with this

does it bother you that much? The OP was happy to share his experience. …….. happy to hear it worked out and peace and balance has been restored. It’s nice when companies step up and correct mistakes hassle free.

Id like to suggest the Evergreen Combat Stick “Showerblows & Moving Baits” casting rod. Excellent for swim jigs 👍🏼 or the St Croix Victory “the Grunt” no experience with the rods you found though

It’s like Franks Hot Sauce…. I put that #%@! On everything as well.

Maybe the threading on the crankshaft is the issue? As you tighten it, the square nuts threads cross thread further down? Does that make sense??

It’s a Doyowa…. (Since I can’t put a little laughing face on my own post. This will have to do. )

Pics or it didn’t happen. (No idea what it is anyways)

This is what I was going to say.

for a second I thought I created a new account and made this post. But it can’t be possible… can it!?!? anyways I just recently got a 13 Fishing Widow Maker (they dropped the name and changed it to Myth) and I’m really impressed and happy with it that I got another Myth rod. Didn’t break the bank and it fishes very well.

Is that the FM?

well there goes suggesting the Victory line up from St Croix. Seems like the best bang for your buck. Too bad you had a bad experience. maybe the tatula elite line might fill the needs you’re requesting? Seems they have tons of rods for lots of different stuff. Evergreen combat sticks are a good one too. id also like to suggest the 13 Fishing Myth line up. Just got one and it’s really awesome and impressive. Going back for more.

One of my 2018 does the same. I can loosen the side plate and nothing happens. I have to push the spool in place (maybe because of the silent tune o-ring) and then it works as it should as is no longer tighter. My other 3 bantams don’t act like that though.

But are the gears Geary?

Just picked up this 13 Fishing Widow Maker casting rod. 2-piece 6’8 Medium X-Fast.

Haven’t used it yet. Glad I haven’t but always wondered how it was. I have 7 evergreen combat sticks.

LoL. I wish! It’s too damm hot outside wife said I have too many reels and combos and I should get rid of a lot. Of course I won’t but I was just thinking hypothetically if I did, which reel would I pick. I was thinking my Antares 70 and that’s simply because I probably would never buy another again. Only because of the price. Well… and it’s function as well. Can’t deny how smooth and refined it is. But the most reels I own that are the same are the 2018 bantams. Have 4. 😕

Extra spools allowed. One reel and whatever accessories you currently have for it

If you can only have one reel in your current collection and the rest had to go. Which one are you keeping?

Don’t even look up what dealerships are buying cybertrucks back for

what models do you have?

Oh nice! How do you like that one and what do you use it for?

You have an x1O? Which one?

Thanks for the response. You pretty much nailed what I was looking for to allow me to pull the trigger on one. I was thinking of putting a 2018 Bantam or 2022 Zillion HD on it and using 16lbs fluorocarbon. Wanted something for dragging football jigs but also do alot of other stuff well. how’s the swamp survivor? That was the one I originally wanted when they announced the x1O rods but never ended up getting one. Found a Bushadder locally that with the right price I can’t pass up.

Anyone have this and what are your thoughts if you do?
