Was going to go with the stradic c3000 because they are so cheap jdm and Ive already used the 4000 fl for trolling for stripers and blues.

Would the avid inshore series St Croix work for that? I heard the tip is a little soft, but I love the St Croixs I already have now.

I am fishing in RI in bays from a kayak or piers and docs. Was thinking a 3000 stradic or vanford with an odm dna 7’ or 7’6 inshore but I know nothing. What lb line is good? Also would it be able to be used off partyboats in NY?

Was attempting to do a handle swap on my zillion. after some different approaches to undoing the nut on top of the handle, i finally got it to turn. when it was turning but not rising i finally realized that turning it clockwise made it rise. its a lefty retrieve. now there are some metal shavings loose but the shaft looks relatively intact and no discerning lines messed up to my untrained eye. Should i continue with the handle replacement or let the local tackle shop switch out the shaft? as long as just the nut is messed up, i am fine because the replacement handle came with one.

Going to be traveling over the summer to hawaii. Since I’m going on a plane I need a 2 piece inshore casting rod. Preferably around 7 feet and under $200. Any suggestions? Paired with a 22 bantam btw.

Bantam XG and St Croix Victory. The new st croix is going on my zillion and the bantam is going on a dobyns fury 734c

The one time ive used it, it was horrible. I used 15# braid and I got a ton of wind knots, the line started fraying, and for some reason the thing had memory. Braid should not have memory.

Whats the difference between the Metanium and the metanium 100? Its listed as two different things on digitaka.

does anyone know how often they are restocked on digitaka or any other jdm import website?

are they not two different models? The DC and the regular mgl?

the dc or the mgl curado?

Currently have a daiwa zillion sv tw so trying to see the shimano reels. Ive heard a lot about how smooth they are and would like to see that for myself.

The two reels I had in mind to pair with this rod are a Curado DC and a Bantam Mgl. Both would be XG for a swimbait/top water setup. Is the DC worth it for someone who knows how to cast a baitcaster?

thanks for the feedback. It looks like you modded the drag star and handle. It looks sick. Is it slp works or gomexus?

On a fishing kayak so basically just the spray of the salt. Sometimes on a jetty so again, salt water spray. Not dunking in the salt water or drenching it. But light exposure a few times a month.
