I float tube a bunch of backwoods lakes north of Ottawa or fish the Trent and bay of Quinte.

hello neighbour. I’m in your area. Welcome to the boards. Ottawa… lots of good spots to fish

oh yeah! I don’t have the time myself anyways so just keeping an ear out for anyone local.

Yeah hopefully it’s well done at least. Ha. I have a daiwa Px-R that I want painted. Just need to find someone in Canada to do it for me. Don’t think I can do it myself.

Some Japanese auction. That’s what the sell sent me for pics. So no idea what it’s painted with. Was an accidental bid lol but I’ll put it to use

I don’t know what it’s painted with.

Got this custom painted SS SV103 in the mail to me. Has steez parts swapped out. 😕

The Victory model is a hidden gem in the like up. You’re talking about the Grunt right?

Do you have the 71MHF Victory or that’s what you’re looking at? I’d go for that rod in the Victory line no questions asked. It’s my fav rod. The GCX is a let down like the E6X. Just feels lifeless. The Zodias ain’t too bad but I’ve preferred my Victory over the Zodias rods.

A little search feature will answer all these questions but yes Kistler has deep discount sales often from what I’ve read.

Just the price tag. LoL

they look social media blasted to me!

Naw… still cheaper for me to pay shipping for gear than a plane ticket to go myself.

I’ve tried it on multiple rods. Maybe it’s the 16lbs line but I found anything 1/2oz and up it would bomb the baits and below 1/2oz wasn’t cutting it for me so I never used it. Hopefully not the case for you. I’ve used it on medium power to heavy power rods. Never found the “perfect” rod for it where I’d say it found a home for me. YMMV…

It’s a pretty good reel. I have the 7 speed and I use it for all around everything really. Using 16lbs R18 LTD on it. Reel feels a lot like my ‘22 Zillion HD. I do find that anything 1/2oz and up it really excels at. Below 1/2oz I’m reaching for a different reel.

Why’s that?

I got that 6’8 MXF LTB jerkbait rod last year and it’s fantastic. I have the 7’2 HM in the victory line and it’s great! I’d imagine the LTB version is fantastic enjoy

And they’re priced like they’re made in Japan.
