  1. I currently have a 7’3” MHRF Poison Adrena but see I can get a P5 Madbull on sale from Japan for less than 300 bucks. Would it be worth it to snag one or would I pretty much be getting another rod that I don’t really need? I throw my spinnerbaits and chatterbaits on the PA and as for as I understand the Madbull isn’t a good bottom contact rod. I would get an X-Bites but they are sold out. What are y’all’s thoughts on the Madbull?
  2. Used to have a mix of Lews Abu Daiwa and Shimano, almost exclusively Daiwa now with the exception of a Curado K and a Chronarch Ci4+ I’ve found that Daiwa’s magnetic braking works best with the way I cast. Everyone is different, but Daiwa makes a sweet reel, especially the Alphas, Zillion and Steez lines
  3. If versatility is your goal, Dobyns makes some of the most versatile rods out there. If you’re a fan of the Champ 734 you have, you could always get an Xtasy for the sensitivity boost. I use my DRX755 for 3/8-1/2 jigs and chatterbaits with a trailer and it works very well. Soft tip for loading up, and great backbone for working slop. Without a trailer, going down to a 4 power might work better, however, you would lose some backbone working in the grass. I haven’t thrown 3/8 jigs without a trailer on the 755 but it is rated down to 3/8 so it should be fine on that rod as well
  4. Never tried the SLX A, wasn’t impressed with the original SLX. I did love my SLX XT though. The Tatula CT is okay as well. Getting up to that price range though, I’ll grab an Alphas SV from Japan over a Tatula.
  5. Nice, the Aird-X definitely punches above its price point. Great combo right there
  6. I had a similar issue with a gen 4 Revo SX a couple years ago. Ended up using it at a Cabelas trade in event. Never figured out what it was but if it’s vibrating like that it seems like it might be gear related as opposed to a bearing. Is it a certain part of the rotation or consistent?
  7. You can even upgrade within the warranty program. I upgraded my snapped Victory to a Legend tournament and only had to pay the difference. I think Mojo to LTB is $150-200. Would smoke any rod under 200 bucks. You could get the 7’3” MHF or the 7’3” HXF (it’s really a MHF, just has a stiff backbone) for T-rigs and jigs, and move your Fury to moving bait duties. if you wanna go another direction, the Shimano Zodias, Daiwa Tatula Elite, or a Dobyns Champion XP on a discount would be my top 3 rods under 200 bucks. The St. Croix Victory rods are good too and I’d put them up there. Never used a Levante but I’ve held them in the store and they feel very nice in hand.
  8. Another vote for the LFS. Nothing flashy, nothing fancy. Just smooth, reliable, and can outcast any reel in its class. If you are able to spend a little more, the SLX XT or a JDM Tatula 80/100 would be a great reel too
  9. +1 on the Stradic FM 2500/3000 no brainer slam dunk for under 200
  10. LFS is a workhorse reel. Best reel under $100 hands down and I’m a Daiwa/Shimano guy
  11. I’ve taken mine out a few times and it’s pretty good. I can’t really say it’s better than a Zillion. They perform about the same IMO. I don’t have an A2 though
  12. I got 2 pairs I use regularly: Oakley Brown Tungsten Iridium for most conditions Costa blue mirror glass for bluebird bright days offshore
  13. Depends on the situation. Skipping docks I like a 6’10”-7’0”, pitching cover I like a 7’2”-7’3”, open water dragging a football jig I like a 7’5”-7’6”
