Finesse Jig Rod
I use the Poison Adrena M+ 6'11" I does not meet your length requirements but its amazing with those Keitech Jigs and very precise casts. You can still find the previous gen on sale as its being discontinued, that will make it under the your $300 price point.

Buying a new reel for a Dobyns Fury 734C. DC or no DC
Not really... only when its windy. That does not mean its a bad reel, they are actually really good and if you buy it will work great. I use mine to bomb chatterbaits and it does the job 0 complains Forgot, I would personally buy over a Bantam

Off Season Kayak Outfitting
I'm working on a light kayak setup. smaller or no crate at all, less and more versatile rods, smaller batteries.. I'm tired of carrying all that crap.

Orochi XX going away?
XX really need an upgrade, at the very least a weight reduction. However they are not worth (for me at least) $399 there are some better options at that price. I felt like $300 was an "ok" price point. This rods to me compete with Exprides and they are much newer, lighter and cheaper. Hopefully they release a newer version and keep the $300 price tag.

Polarized Fishing Sunglasses
I bought polycarbonate for safety reasons, they are supposed to be lighter than glass, but the frames themself are very heavy.. I use Oakley now much much lighter, the frames feel cheaper but they are extremely lightweight.

Polarized Fishing Sunglasses
While Costa's optics are great, I find them very heavy. Is it just me?? did I bought the wrong style twice?

Line choice for Mexico
Many of Mexico's artificial lakes the area was left as it was before they build the dam. You will find trees as they don't usually cut them like its done in the US (there are lakes were you can see orchards of large trees still line up underwater) houses, churches and other human made structure. So it wont hurt you to use the stronger line.

If you don't fish tournaments, why not?
I'm on personal tournament with myself every time I go fishing.. I give myself prices for a big bag and big fish.

What lures do you intend to use more in 2025?
I guess crankbaits, I have not caught a fish on one in a few years (not considering topwater, poppers are a staple on my summer fishing)

The New 2025 Shimano Ultegra looks HAWT!

Fishing Coaches?
Back when I was a teenager my buddies and I use to take a guy on our fishing trips. He did not put a dollar for anything all and would consume great quantities of our alcoholic provisions. This drunk was VERY, VERY good fishermen and he did taught us a lot about fishing. So yeah he was our couch on those early years and we did pay for his professional services with drinks and fishing trips. Not a bad deal I may say, there was always additional budget for refreshments. Then we just cut him once we learn what we needed, he found another group just like us.

Why would you buy an ABU over a Shimano or a Daiwa?
My dad was an engineer for Chrysler when that merger happen, everyone felt that things would go great after that.. I think I still have the Swatch watch they gave everyone in the organization. I still love company, but will never buy one of their vehicles at their current prices.. they are completely out of reality.
-
well, I have to choose a new reel. Zillion or Met (non DC)
Flip a coin, you will win either way... Between these two reels you can choose the one that looks best on your rod.

Polarized Fishing Sunglasses
Find cheap Oaklay on Amazon or even better find one of their outlet stores.. there not really a lot of difference in quality than Costas (Luxottica brands) I even find them more light and comfortable.

Why would you buy an ABU over a Shimano or a Daiwa?
Their case should be studied for years on how to destroy a brand... Somehow, Previous Stellantis CEO believed that by a twist of his wand he could convert their US market vehicles to be high end ones.. what??? complete unawareness of their brand position in the market.

Who still fishes from the bank?
I do all the time, sometimes when driving home from work in the evening.. if there is fishy weather and I got some time I'll stop and fish for a while, some other times I'm just to lazy to get the boat or the kayak out. I take only one combo and my light tackle backpack and walk the bank for a few hours.. very relaxing..

SC Victory 72MHM Casting Rod?
