I love my MB Tour Versatile. That's my go to jig rod. Sensitive and a good caster... To each their own. Right now I am contemplating either the Zodias 7'5" Heavy or the Levante Aklys ***-710LV as a pitching/punching rod I would also use for moderately sized swimbaits etc. I have a couple Levante's I really like but I also have a 7'5 MH Zodias I really dig too. Difficult decision.

I bought one of the Black Widow Edge rods two months ago. The website said 3-5 weeks delivery but I got it in 10 days. It's the finest rod I own and I have a plethora of spinning and casting rods. Yes, the BW handle seems smooth and slippery but in use it does not slip. What it does do is increase sensitivity. I can feel every little nuance on the bottom through the entire grip. It became my favorite rod the first outing. I just ordered a spinning rod from Edge and next month will be ordering a flipping/punching rod from them as well. Yes, the posts of lousy customer service worry me some but as nice as the rods are I am willing to take a chance. Hopefully, that part of the business will improve. I would love to see Edge succeed. Always nice to have more choices. Peace

Thanks Scott. Appreciate the info. I pulled the trigger on one from Japan. *Fingers Crossed*

So after some time fishing with this reel, is everyone still stoked about them? Would you recommend them to others? I have a couple Daiwa Tatula's and just ordered the new Scorpion DC. There are good deals on used Shimano 20 Metanium's once in a while and I was wondering if everyone still loved theirs?
