Thanks! I order the U40 stuff, after I read your post I looked for a few youtube videos and seems like a good options. I'm sure this will protect the cork better than anything.

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if I need to apply anything to protect the cork of the new rods I purchase.. what do you use?? where do you buy it?? thanks!

No did bought the assembly with the knobs, but while is wider at the 95mm the knobs are exactly the the same as the JDM. I'll take a picture today after work.

I order the metanium XG assembly, It is wider but the knobs are same ones the reel came with from japan. thats why I rather go for the curado ones. thanks for the tip on the return I will send it back. its for a right handed reel

Could you please share the part numbers you used for the curado handles?? I bought the metanium ones but they don't have the oversize knobs. I really like the knobs on my curado 150mgl. I have the XG metanium and would like the large handle with the oversize knobs. Thanks!

If I learned anything from my experience on tackle purchases, is useless to ask for specific starting baits when we all know that you will keep buying more and more and nothing will stop you now. To make my point, if you bought those nice rods without even thinking first what baits you were going to use them with means that the monkey has you forever. Now I'm really not judging you, I'm the same. Lipless crankbaits. great for the season, easy to fish and you already have the tools for them. Welcome!!!

is there a discount code?? I cant see the reel's discount sorry, found the issue thanks

Could you please elaborate on this statement?? As I mention before, I jumped from a zebco 33 with mono as a kid straight into a baitcaster with braid so I have no frame of reference on flouro line. I'm not a tip watcher by any means (I don't have the capacity to concentrate on something like that!!) and have always depended on feel to detect bites. Will the jump on sensibility from braid to fluoro will be that large??

Thank you everyone! its the first time I ever get a response so unanimous. it is good that is a line that I'm already familiar with although only as a leader material on my spinning gear. thanks!

Hi! I'm wondering what fluoro to use on my Medium/Fast setup for crankbaits. When I fish from the kayak with a limited rod selection this rig has multiple uses and I would like to compensate the fast action of the rod with line that has more stretch. All my other setups are braid to leader and this will be my first in a very very long time all fluorocarbon. I use abrazx and invizx on other setups as leader material. But I don't hold any Seaguar stock so if Sunline assassine is the best option I have no issues switching. I tend to like abrazx as it holds really good against toothy critters. Thank you for your comments!

My oldtown 106 PDL seems pretty stable, I have even used it at Lake St Clair with not issues at all. I'm 6"0" 200lbs.

That is a solid list, I sometimes replace the heavy for another med/heavy and all get a crankbait rod and mix it with the medium. the other difference its that the spinning i use a med/light usually

LOL should start checking my spelling I use a fury spinning rod when I bank fish, definitely great rods for the money. I'm really struggling on what to bring in the kayak. I like to only bring 4 rods so its very difficult to be cover for everything.

Hello everyone! I usually fish from a kayak and in order to reduce the number of rods I carry, I use a medium fast action rod for crankbaits (mainly lipless) Should I reconsider and add a crankbait specific rod?? do you guys think they are a must??

I went for the metanium handle assembly, It was tempting to get the curado handle.

Thanks!!! this is exactly what I needed, yes the handle is small and the knobs are so tiny it feels like a Zebco

Hi! I went on and bought a JDM Metanium for the first time, I read about the levers being smaller but I thought it wouldn't affect me as much... well it does.. I know some of you guys have bought the USDM handles and replace them Could you please share the info on where you got it from?? Thanks!!

Its really very relaxing... until its time to get it out of the water, un-rig and load it into the truck after pedaling/paddling for hours.. its all rage then.

I feel great when actual science is used to solve fishing related issues..

This is the kind of questions that ends friendships.

That's makes it even better

Hopefully it arrived ahead of your trip ? I'll be on the look on this recommended site, the one rood I "need" the most may be available next month. thanks!

With your budget, I would purchase this (on stock on amazon) I bought the pedal drive as this motorized option was not available, I wish I waited.

? I'll do some research

Hello Everyone I order a couple of Exprides B right when they were announced in TackleWarehouse. Back then, delivery was going to be by the end of the March and they are now they are expected by June 24th. I don't have a lot of experience with this type of issues, do you think they may take even longer? is it posible they'll deliver before this date?? what is your experience with Shimano pre-orders?? thanks!
